My trips
Below you can read articles that introduce Barcelona - not from the perspective of a tourist, but from the perspective of someone who lives here. The number of posts is constantly growing, and I will not only write about classic attractions, but also on local traditions, food, and special programs.
Spiritus - A church light show that speaks to the soul in Porto
Spiritus - Videomapping show is one of the most unique cultural experiences in Porto this year, 2025, coming to life in the city's iconic Clérigos Church . This unique performance is not just a spectacular projection, but an audiovisual journey with a deeper, philosophical message, focusing on the relationship between the human soul, time and nature. The baroque interior of the church is completely transformed: pulsating lights appear on the walls and arches, telling the s
Porto attractions - what is worth seeing in one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal?
Porto , a city on the banks of the Douro River, is full of colorful houses, impressive churches, world-famous tile decorations and spectacular viewpoints. Comfortable shoes are definitely recommended - this is where I've seen the most tourists stumble in my life :)) Walking through the steep and cobblestone streets can sometimes be a bit difficult and tiring. In this post, I will show you the must-see attractions in Porto so you can easily plan your trip. Capela das Almas - t
Azulejos: Portugal's colorful history in tiles
If you visit Portugal, you will find them on almost every corner: they decorate walls, churches, palaces, even train stations and restaurants. These are the typical Portuguese azulejos - tiles that serve not only as decoration but also as storytellers. But where does this tradition come from and why has it become one of the most striking symbols of Portuguese culture? What is azulejo? The word “azulejo” comes from the Arabic “al-zillīj,” meaning “polished stone ”. These
The artist who builds hope from trash - Bordalo II and the recycled art of Lisbon
When you first walk through the colorful streets of Lisbon, between the tiled houses, the steep alleys and the clanking trams, you suddenly see a huge animal looking at you from a wall, built from old car parts, tires and broken plastic. The artist's name is Bordalo II - and what he does is more than street art. It is modern eco-art itself, which is beautiful, provocative and thought-provoking at the same time. Bordalo II's art is not born on the white walls of galleries, but
Time travel into disaster: the 1755 Lisbon earthquake at the Earthquake Museum
The Lisbon Earthquake Museum (Museu do Terramoto) is not just an exhibition space - it is more of a modern, experiential time machine that takes you back to the most defining and tragic moment in the city's history, the day of the 1755 earthquake. The museum aims not only to show the devastation of the disaster, but also to make the visitors feel the shock and uncertainty experienced by the residents of the time. On November 1, 1755, the people of Lisbon had no idea that th
Lisbon - Travel guide to iconic attractions
Lisbon was love at first sight for me. I've been here several times, and it has never disappointed me, and I've even been lucky with the weather: although I always brought an umbrella, especially in November, the city still gave me wonderful sunshine most of the time. Lisbon is a place that reveals a new face with every step: old and modern, calm and vibrant, romantic and creative. When exploring the Portuguese capital, it's worth taking time to explore both the historic dist
O Gringo: A modern interpretation of azulejo - Lisbon street art
Walking through the streets of Lisbon, you can see that the cobblestone alleys, worn walls and blue and white azulejo tiles together preserve the stories of the Portuguese capital. There is an artist who translates these stories into a new language: O Gringo or Bastien Tomasini , a French-born street artist who has become one of Lisbon's most exciting visual voices in recent years. In his art traditional Portuguese tiles meet a contemporary, emotional narrative - creating
Portsmouth: attractions, beaches and university atmosphere
Portsmouth is an exciting coastal city in the south east of England, full of rich history and modern energy. My sister spent her university years there and I visited whenever I could, so I have a personal connection to the city. Portsmouth's unique location has always made it a key shipping and naval centre , as is perfectly reflected in the famous Portsmouth Dockyard and its associated historic ships. But this city is not only attractive to those interested in the past, b
Christmas in London - festive lights, flavors and experiences
I have a special connection with London. My sister lives in England, in Portsmouth, so I travel to the UK several times a year, and we usually meet in London. This gave me time to get to know this huge city better, but that's not the point. When I first visited here as a child, I had a strange feeling: a strange sense of homeliness, as if I had once lived here. This has remained ever since, I love London, and every time I arrive it feels a little like I am going home. I canno
Come Alive! The Greatest Showman - London's newest musical attraction
Special experience recommendation for a visit to London London's theatre world has once again been enriched with a special production this year: Come Alive! The Greatest Showman has finally hit the stage, making a dream come true for fans of the film. The spectacular performance is not a simple adaptation, but a reimagined, live theatre experience that brings back the magic of the 2017 hit film, with every moment on stage permeated with the energy of the circus and musical
Chefchaouen, the blue city in Morocco
Chefchaouen, a small Moroccan town nestled in the Rif Mountains, is perhaps one of the country’s most unique destinations. The city’s narrow streets, houses, and walls are covered in every shade of blue - from sky blue to turquoise to deep, dark indigo. It’s no wonder it has become a favorite photo spot for travelers from all over the world. Getting from Tangier to Chefchaouen by public transport is quite complicated, even though it is the closest big city. Trying to go from
Tangier's sights and legends - discover Morocco's city steeped in myths
Tangier is one of the most unique cities in Morocco, where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet . The city is not only special because of its beautiful location, but also because of the legends and myths associated with it . If you want to know more about the attractions and secrets of Tangier, read on - you are guaranteed to see this magical destination with different eyes. Hercules Cave - Tangier's best-known legend One of the most popular attractions in Ta
Hassan II Mosque - Casablanca’s stunning seaside jewel
I arrived in Casablanca by train from Tangier and deliberately looked for accommodation that was close to the magnificent mosque. This worked out so well that I could see the entire building from the balcony of the apartment. The Hassan II Mosque, located on the coast of Casablanca, Morocco, is one of the most significant symbols not only of the city, but also of the entire country. This impressive structure is not only a religious center, but also a masterpiece of modern Mor
Morocco
Entry requirements Morocco is a safe destination, where usually European citizens can travel without a visa , and registration is not required. The passport must be valid for 3 months from the date of departure from the country of origin. You cannot travel with an ID card. Upon entry, they ask us what our purpose is, where we will be staying, and how long we want to stay in the country. They did not ask me for my outbound flight ticket. We get a stamp in our passport both wh
Moroccan mint tea: tradition, hospitality, and lifestyle
Moroccan mint tea - locally known as atay - is not just a refreshing drink, but one of the most important symbols of Moroccan culture. The special combination of green tea, fresh mint and sugar can be found in every Moroccan home and café, and is almost inseparable from the concept of hospitality. The origin of mint tea in Morocco Tea arrived in Morocco in the 18th and 19th centuries, mainly through British traders who brought gunpowder tea from China to North Africa. It
Edinburgh in autumn - the magic of colorful leaves in the Scottish capital
Edinburgh is beautiful in all seasons, but I scheduled my trip for autumn because the sight of the colorful leaves makes this special city even more magical. Of course, you have to be prepared for the fact that it is cold and it can rain at any time, but don't let that scare you; we don't travel to Scotland for the beautiful weather anyway. I booked a basic Ibis hotel (Ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile) because Scotland is expensive, and I found this accommodation in a central
What you need to know about Scottish Cattle? - Interesting facts from the world of Highland Cattle (i.e. the typical Scottish Cow)
I really love animals. Of course, this statement is a generalization, as I don't love all animals (unfortunately, I'm afraid of spiders, for example), but I have a dream, which may be a bit childish, but is definitely utopian: one day I will have a farm, in Ireland or Scotland, or maybe in the North of France, where I will keep a variety of animals. One of them will definitely be the wonderful Scottish cow. When we think of Scotland, we often think of rolling green hills, whi
Dublin - one of the friendliest European capitals
The capital of Ireland is a very livable, human-scale city, and is inhabited by friendly, kind people. It is easy to get around on foot. It is enjoyable throughout the year , you can catch pleasant weather in spring and autumn, but there is no guarantee that it will not rain even in the summer. I have been to Dublin several times, so I am trying to create a useful guide about this city that holds a special place in my heart, summarizing my experiences. Choosing a place to sta
Copenhagen attractions - wandering the capital of hygge
Copenhagen holds the title of "the happiest city in the world", and for this reason I was curious to know what the Danes know, how they manage to feel so good in their own skin despite the long and cold winters and the not-so-favorable climate. The secret is revealed by hygge , which is a lifestyle and roughly means intimate social gathering, if we want to translate it. You don't have to think about anything complicated, it's simply that without any kind of pressure to confo
History of Freetown Christiania
When visiting Copenhagen, an unmissable program is to explore the Christiania district! This is an area with a special status within the Danish capital, legally an autonomous community, a separate small state. When you enter, a sign indicates that you are now outside the European Union. Specific rules apply here, which the residents themselves have created. The history of Freetown Christiania dates back to the 1970s. Originally a military facility that stood empty, was occupi
Thomas Dambo's sculptures: the forgotten giants
Thomas Dambo is a Danish artist who created trolls, giant sculptures made from recycled wood, around Copenhagen, first in 2016-17. The sculptures have become so popular that a map has been created of them, and thousands of tourists visit them every year within a treasure hunt experience. Since then, Dambo has created works in other countries, and in total, about 150 of his sculptures can be seen around the world, but the Copenhagen trolls are still iconic, as they were the fi
The Legend of the Dragon of Ljubljana
The symbol of Ljubljana is not by chance the dragon - it plays a special role in both the city's history and culture. The myth of the Argonauts According to one of the oldest legends, Jason and the Argonauts , when they arrived in the region of the Ljubljanica River in search of the Golden Fleece, encountered a huge dragon in the marshy area. In a heroic fight, Jason defeated the monster, the memory of which has survived for centuries and over time has become the symbol of
Ljubljana - The green capital where past and present meet
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is considered by many to be one of Europe's best-kept secrets. Although it has a population of just over 300,000, it combines the hustle and bustle of a big city with the tranquility of a small town. A place where the cobblestone streets of the medieval old town, Art Nouveau buildings and a modern, youthful cultural life coexist in perfect harmony. A little history Ljubljana's history dates back more than two thousand years. The city was fo
Vintgar Gorge - one of Slovenia's most magical natural wonders
The legendary Vintgar Gorge was shaped by glaciers: when they began to melt and retreat, Lake Bled was formed in the valley. At that time, the Radovna River began to carve a new path for itself at the lowest point between the Hom and Boršt hills. After the end of the last ice age, the water stubbornly continued to shape the Vintgar Gorge. Only at the end of the pass, due to the harder rock, was the difference in water levels preserved in the form of the picturesque Šum waterf
Bled Castle - the pride of Slovenia surrounded by legends
Perched on a steep cliff above the picturesque Lake Bled, Bled Castle (Blejski grad) is not only one of the oldest castles in Slovenia, but also one of the country’s most iconic landmarks. The castle offers breathtaking views of the lake’s turquoise waters, the famous small island, and the peaks of the Julian Alps. But Bled Castle is more than just a beautiful panoramic site: its walls preserve over a thousand years of history and exciting legends. History of the castle Ble
Magical Lake Bled
The Island and the Wishing Bell One of Slovenia's most iconic sights is Lake Bled , surrounded by lush green mountains and with a tiny island in the middle. The fairytale setting is often referred to as one of Europe's most romantic destinations - and for good reason, as the Church of the Assumption (Cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja) and its bell tower in the middle of the lake are a treasure trove of legends, customs and mystical stories. Bled Island and the Church The island
Singapore - where skyscrapers and jungle meet
Usually as a European citizen, you can enter Singapore without a visa if your stay does not exceed 90 days. All you need is an Arrival Card, which you must register for online at the following website: https://eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard/ In addition, your passport must be valid for another 6 months after you leave Singapore, and you will need a pre-purchased flight ticket to prove your departure date. If you come from a country at risk of monkeypox, you can now also e
Durian, the story of the stinky fruit
The durian fruit is often referred to as the “king of fruits” , and it deserves the label - not only for its unique appearance, but also for its extremely divisive smell and taste. Native to Southeast Asia, the durian may be a suprising experience at first, but that’s exactly what makes it so special: once you taste it, you either fall deeply in love with it or turn away from it forever . The durian's huge, spiky shell provides almost armor-like protection for the creamy,
Best places to visit in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is a truly multicultural city, with communities of different religions and nationalities living together in peace. At the same time, it is characterized by an incredibly developed infrastructure, making it a true cosmopolitan city that rivals American cities. The capital of Malaysia can also be a good starting point for a Southeast Asian tour. If you've come this far and traveled at least 14-15 hours, it's worth taking a look around other nearby countries. Most p
Keukenhof, the largest tulip garden in the world
If you are planning a trip to the Netherlands in spring, Keukenhof is an unmissable program, where you can walk among the beautiful flower gardens in a huge area of 32 hectares. The park is located near Amsterdam and the town of Lisse, it takes about 40-50 minutes to travel from the capital, depending on traffic. For simplicity, I booked a bus transfer on GetYourGuide, which left from Amsterdam, from This is Holland, at the exact time I chose. This solution was also nice beca
The story of the Flowerbike man - “Love is the cure”
Do you agree that love is the best medicine? Walking around Amsterdam, we see bicycles decorated with flowers all over the city. Who made them and for what purpose? The narrative follows the romantic journey of an American couple , Warren and Michelle . Warren and his wife first traveled to Amsterdam in 2004 from the small town of Tarpon Springs, Florida. They immediately fell in love with the Dutch capital and decided they wanted to live there. The following year, they move
Amsterdam - the city of bicycles and canals
Many people associate the Dutch capital with legal drug use and a red light district, but Amsterdam is much more than that. Culture, art, science and of course the abundance of tulips and the wonderful canal system should come to mind when we want to describe this city. When walking in Amsterdam, we constantly cross bridges, as there are 165 canals in this special city: this gives the unique atmosphere that is so typical of the Dutch capital. There are also many houseboat
Figueres, Salvador Dalí's hometown
Figueres is a small town in Catalonia, known to the world as the birthplace of Salvador Dalí . In the city centre is the Teatre-Museu Dalí , or Dalí Theatre-Museum, which not only presents the oeuvre of the most famous figure of Spanish surrealism, but is itself a work of art that completely dissolves the boundaries between reality and dream. The museum opened in 1974 , partly in the former municipal theatre building, which was bombed during the Spanish Civil War. Dalí par
Montserrat - a trip from Barcelona that is really worth a day
When you're in Barcelona, it's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the city: Gaudí's wonders, tapas bars, sunsets on the beach - but if you have a day to dedicate to nature and something completely different, Montserrat is a place you shouldn't miss. It really is like stepping into a completely different world, and you don't even have to go far. The train leaves from Plaça d'Espanya and in less than an hour you'll be at the foot of the iconic, saw-toothed mountain.
Southern Spain trip
If you've ever dreamed of Andalusia's sun-drenched hills, whitewashed villages and flamenco-tinged cities, then this itinerary is for you. Seven magnificent locations - each with its own character and atmosphere, yet in perfect harmony with each other. I visited some amazing cities in this region on a road trip with my family in August 2024. The heat is extreme at this time, so it's worth preparing in advance with sunscreen and plenty of water if you're planning a trip in the
Seville attractions
Seville, the center of Andalusia, is the epitome of the southern Spanish way of life. From the moment you arrive, the city draws you in with its narrow cobblestone streets, flower-filled balconies, year-round orange trees, and the ever-present sound of flamenco - and I was no exception. It is worth booking accommodation in the center, because this way we can explore the sights on foot. I stayed at the Hotel Boutique Casa de Colon , a two-minute walk from the cathedral, which
Gran Canaria
All of the Canary Islands, but especially Gran Canaria, offer much more than many people think: it's not just the year-round sunshine and beautiful beaches that make it worth traveling here. On this island you will find a desert with beautiful sand dunes, a mountain pine forest , a banana plantation , a cactus park , colorful rocks , and even an old salt distillery . I spent a week here and I was not bored for a second. I arrived at the end of January and was greeted by a pl
A movie star who became a princess - Grace Kelly and the Grimaldi family
The Grimaldi family is the ruling princely dynasty of Monaco since 1297. The family's history began with François Grimaldi , who took possession of the fortress of Monaco in disguise, thereby establishing the Grimaldi's centuries-long rule. Over the centuries, Monaco has become one of the most luxurious principalities in the Mediterranean, known worldwide not only for its historical heritage and economic role, but also for the personal fortunes of the Grimaldi family. One
Trip from Nice: Monaco
Monaco is like a mix of Hollywood, Monte Carlo, and French Riviera elegance, all sprinkled onto a sheer cliff face overlooking the sea. It’s small, dense, and incredibly spectacular. I’ve spent a day there several times, but every moment felt like I’d stepped onto a movie set - yachts, casinos, palm trees, and glitz in every direction. Walking around the city-state is like a continuous up-and-down journey - the levels alternate, with elevators, escalators and alleys weaving t
Bali travel tips - good advice for travelers
Bali is a true bucket-list destination , but if you arrive expecting the version you saw in Eat, Pray, Love or on Instagram posts, you might end up disappointed. However, if you approach the island and its people with openness, patience, and understanding, you’ll have an incredible experience. Because the reality is that Bali has heavy traffic, road conditions are often poor, and at times you’ll see quite a bit of trash along the roads. The monkeys can be aggressive if you p
Kopi Luwak - the story of a very expensive coffee
If nothing else, you may know the name of this special coffee from the movie The Bucket List: the character played by Jack Nicholson swears by this drink, saying it's the best coffee in the world, his friend (played by Morgan Freeman) finds out how it's made, and then they laugh a lot about it. One of the main attractions of every coffee plantation in Bali is the tasting program, open to the public, where you can try kopi luwak as well and they will tell you about the process
Bali - personal experiences, with itinerary
Bali was a real culture shock for me, in a good way. Despite the huge number of tourists visiting the island, which has brought significant changes, you can still find authentic Balinese settlements. If you want to experience the real Bali, d on’t spend all your time on the southern coast , as that is where the biggest crowds are, and the constant constructions, traffic and huge hotel complexes don't give you the atmosphere that makes Bali worth visiting, which makes this isl
New York Trip: The city that never sleeps
New York is a city that everyone knows to some extent, the setting of popular movies and series, so we think we know what to expect. But when we arrive, we realize it’s beyond imagination. It affects all our senses at once, so when we first stand in the hustle and bustle of Times Square, we just shake our heads. For me, the first positive culture shock was that everyone is free to be themselves here, there is room for everyone, the Muslim vendor who, when it's time for praye
New York attractions: What to see in Manhattan?
While creating the itinerary, I focused on seeing the city by walking, as that’s usually my prefered way to explore everything. So I walked 15-20 km a day, but it was worth it because I often stumbled upon interesting sights by chance, and the iconic atmosphere of New York came through better. My itinerary for 6 days Day 1 Early morning at Times Square (I was up at 5am due to jet lag) Bryant Park I also went to the Empire State Building Build a Bear Workshop - it's not u
Bruno Catalano's sculptures in New York
The sculptor, of Moroccan origin but with Sicilian roots, was born in 1960 and moved to France with his family at the age of 10. Struggling to adapt to his new environment, he often felt like an outsider. After graduating from school, he worked as an electrician for a shipping company, but in the meantime he enrolled in a modeling course in Marseille and studied sculpture magazines. In 1985, he opened his own studio, where he burned sculptures in front of an audience. This is
Top attractions in Berlin
Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburg Gate ) One of Berlin's most famous and iconic neoclassical monuments, it is a symbol of the history of not only Berlin but also of all of Germany, and is often referred to as a symbol of peace, unity, and freedom. Built between 1788-91, commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia. Inspired by the Acropolis in Athens. Originally a city gate on the western border of Berlin. Structure: 12 main columns, six in the front and six in
City of Lights - Berlin's magical atmosphere during the Festival of Lights
Berlin is a city where history and modernity meet in perfect harmony, and where there is something to discover in every street corner. It is one of the most special times of the year, when the city's most famous buildings are illuminated by stunning light installations and video projections, bringing Berlin's symbolic history and creative spirit to life. What is the Festival of Lights? The Festival of Lights is a ten-day event, usually in October, during which more than fi
Gdansk
Gdansk (known historically as Danzig ) is located in the northern part of Poland, on the Baltic Sea coast. Its old town is a real jewel box, the unique colorful houses, small streets, and the church bells ringing again and again create an atmosphere as if we were traveling back in time. However, most of the buildings that we can see today are not that old… The Great Armory Mariacka Street Gdansk Old Town To understand and get to know Gdansk to some extent, a brief historical
Gdansk, the capital of amber
Baltic amber, also known as succinite, is one of the most valuable natural treasures of the Baltic Sea region, formed over millions of years and has played an important role in culture, art, and even medicine ever since . Baltic amber originated about 40-50 million years ago when ancient coniferous trees, mainly pines and spruces of the Pinaceae family, secreted resin in response to injury. This resin dripped onto the ground or ran down the tree bark, trapping a variet
Alsace at Christmas - December tour in the Alsace region of France, the Christmas wonderland
As a child, my favorite holiday was Christmas. The decorations, the lights, the cozy atmosphere enchanted me every year. It’s no different today, I’m still a Christmas fan and I take every opportunity to experience this special festive atmosphere. That’s why I felt like I had to see these wonderful Alsatian cities in December, because it’s no coincidence that Strasbourg is called the capital of Christmas… I have been planning this trip for a long time and managed to organize
Trips from Nice: Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Saint-Paul-de-Vence is not just a small village nestled on a hilltop - it is more of a living gallery, where art, nature and history coexist in a harmony that I have rarely felt so clearly elsewhere. Already near the town, along the road lined with olive trees and cypresses, you could feel that you were heading towards something special. As I entered the village through the thick city walls, it felt as if I had stepped into another era: cobblestone streets, arched doorways, f
Trips from Nice: Eze
It is a place that seems to float on the edge of a fairy tale on the mountainside, somewhere between the clouds and the sea. The road to get there is already an experience in itself - the panorama becomes more and more impressive as you drive along the winding Grande Corniche , until you arrive at a tiny, medieval village that seems to have stopped in time. Getting to Eze from Nice is easy. If you rent a car or take a taxi, you can take the famous Grande Corniche or Moyen
Nice - the gateway to the Côte d'Azur
Nice is a city that you can easily imagine on postcards, but in reality it is much more than that. When I arrived, the first thing that struck me was the light - somehow everything seemed more vibrant here: the blue of the sea was deeper, the sky was brighter, the colors of the buildings were more saturated. The Mediterranean atmosphere immediately permeated me, and I had a feeling this is a place where I can simply slow down. Nice is not just a beautiful city on the coast -
Marseille - Mediterranean chaos that surprises you at first, makes you fall in love the second time
Marseille is not a city you understand right away. But if you give it a chance, if you let the noise of the streets, the smell of the sea and the southern French sunshine take hold of you, something grabs you - something raw, real and very much alive. It is the oldest city in France, but it is not a dusty museum. Marseille is a true Mediterranean mix: French, Arab, African, Italian - but very different and completely its own. The streets are filled with music, conversation, a
Paris attractions - because Audrey Hepburn said: "Paris is always a good idea"
Let me make one thing clear from the start: I’m a huge fan of Paris. I read a lot of negative reviews about how much this city has changed, how it has lost its charm, the overtourism, the poor public safety in immigrant neighborhoods, the lot of trash, and the not-so-friendly behavior of the French were the most common reasons listed. I think a well-organized trip to Paris can still be a great experience, so now I want to share some ideas on how you can make your trip to Pari
Emily tour - The locations of the series Emily in Paris that I collected
A study found that the series has increased interest in and desire to travel to Paris, with many tourists visiting the city to explore the locations where Emily, Gabriel, Camille, Mindy and the others live. Of course, one can argue about how realistically Emily in Paris presents the French lifestyle, how stereotypically and at times degradingly it portrays French people and culture (and European culture in general), but it certainly puts Paris at the center of attention; the
The Parisian macaron
Paris and the macaron are almost inseparable - these tiny, colorful, elegant sweets are now not just a cake, but one of the most emblematic symbols of French lifestyle, sophistication and Parisian pastry art. Anyone visiting Paris must sit down in an elegant pâtisserie and taste some of these little jewel-like delicacies while watching the hustle and bustle of the street with a cup of coffee. The macaron is not just a dessert - it is the essence of the Parisian atmosphere. Th
Moscow - A city where the past and the future walk hand in hand
Moscow is a city that never shows just one face. At first glance, it is austere: monumental buildings, military symmetry, somber colors - but then it suddenly opens up like a Russian matryoshka doll, and layers emerge one after another: vibrant art, underground culture, postmodern cafes, elegant metro stations, and of course, history, which lives here not only in textbooks, but also in the air. Moscow is not just the capital of Russia, it is a symbol. It has existed for over
St. Petersburg - the cultural capital of Russia
I could travel to Russia with my family before the war. I'm still very glad about that, because - political issues aside - it's a beautiful country, and it was a great experience toexplore the two most famous cities. We bought multicity tickets and first traveled to St. Petersburg, then took a high-speed train to Moscow , and from there we flew home. Let's take a look at the stops of our journey in order! St. Petersburg The history of St. Petersburg is as cinematic as the cit
Santorini Attractions - Where white walls meet blue domes
Santorini is on the bucket list of many travelers, and I was no exception. I had seen so many beautiful pictures and videos of it, and I definitely wanted to see the sunset over the caldera. I wanted to walk among the iconic white houses, find the best viewpoints, and see the blue-domed churches. I arrived by cruise, so the first step was to climb the hill straight up to the city. You can also take a cable car, but the line was so long that I chose to walk, despite the heat.
Things to do in Mykonos
I have only been to this beautiful island once, in August 2023. I was completely enchanted and couldn’t resist taking pictures of the beautiful houses and windmills. If you only want to see one Greek island in this region, and you are interested in my opinion, I think Mykonos should be it, because the sights on Mykonos are truly special. What do you need to know about this wonderful island? Mykonos (Greek: Μύκονος) is a part of the Cyclades archipelago in the Aegean Sea, abo
Things to do in Rhodes - The Island of Knights
I've been to Rhodes twice, most recently after the big fire in 2023. They've managed to restore everything, the island was beautiful, but the tourists haven't returned yet. It was a surreal and wonderful experience to be almost alone on the beaches and walk around the deserted old town. I felt sorry for the locals, because most of them live from tourism, but I also enjoyed not having to deal with the usual crowds, which made it easier to see the most important sights in Rhode
