After having spent a fantastic day underneath, on top, and between the magnificent walls of Tisá, I cannot fathom why this breathtaking labyrinth of towering sandstone formations amid the Bohemian Switzerland is such a hidden treasure. After all, it is perfect for hikers, climbers, and, obviously, even tightrope walkers!
The dramatic shapes of the sandstone steles that time has colored a mysterious black, and the winding paths feel like stepping into a fairytale world. Easily accessible and less crowded than other spots, they offer stunning views and an almost otherworldly atmosphere.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Bohemian – this term always sounds so sophisticated and almost decadent. In this case, however, I’m referring to the geographical meaning. And what can I say: The Bohemian Switzerland is as refined and opulent as you could wish for. So let me convey the fascinating past, trendy presence, and most importantly, breathtaking wonders of nature you get to enjoy in just one weekend in Decin, the amazing gateway to the Bohemian Switzerland.
Barbados is famous for its fabulously beautiful beaches. And among many other outstanding things, Barbados also boasts one of the best bus systems I have ever experienced in all my travels. This makes it easy, convenient, and very inexpensive to explore every day a different one of the best beaches in Barbados by public bus.
Barbados has 80 beaches, and I obviously cannot introduce them all. Therefore, for this post, I picked the 15 dream locations I enjoyed the most.
This Way to the Whole Story ->No, understandably, no one comes to Barbados for a bright-light, big-city experience. And yet, it would be a mistake to ignore Barbados’ capital, Bridgetown, altogether. After all, it is a vibrant blend of history, culture, and tropical charm. Here, you can explore UNESCO-listed landmarks, lively markets, and a scenic waterfront. From historic sites to great shopping and authentic Bajan cuisine, Bridgetown offers a perfect taste of the urban side of the Caribbean, and in this post, I’m taking you to places not to miss when exploring Barbados’ charming capital.
Who remembers the British duo Typically Tropical, who released their debut single called Barbados back in 1975? After starting the song with the determined announcement Woh, I’m going to Barbados, the singer made clear why he was visiting this amazing island in the heart of the Caribbean. His main reason was to get away from his dull job and Britain’s bad weather. And although hardly anybody remembers this classic one-hit-wonder, who in their right mind wouldn’t agree that Barbados is one of the best places not to miss?
I, for one, absolutely agreed with Typically Tropical and made my way to Barbados. Since their song remained a one-hit-wonder, I’m pretty sure the duo has given up their career by now; and who knows, maybe they retired in Barbados.
Howsoever, in this post, I’m taking you to the best places the island has to offer.
Few cities can match Rome’s cultural wealth and fascinating variety. Hence, it is known as the Eternal City for a reason. There’s ancient history at every corner. Yet, this goes just fine with the modern, energetic, and sophisticated millennial metropolis. In this comprehensive guide, I’ll show you why mesmerizing Rome turns first-timers as well as repeat visitors into eternal admirers.
Of all Italian cities, Milan probably deems the least what we consider Italian. No jolly groups sipping Aperol Spritz while playing boccia. Instead, executives rush from their stately apartment houses to offices in glittering business centers. Hardly a narrow cobblestone alley. Rather big cars on broad avenues. Money makes the world Milan go round.
And yet, if you visit with an open mind, Milan will by no means disappoint: Get the big picture from the roof of the Duomo, and enjoy contemporary art at various industrial sites that were transformed into humongous art galleries. Window shop at the posh Brera district or the fabulous Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Admire Leonardo da Vinci’s Cenacolo, hence, the Last Supper. Oh, talking ’bout food: Finish a long day of sightseeing with a relaxed Milanese Aperitivo in one of the countless bars alongside the Navigli, the city’s old waterways.
Sounds like a plan? Mind you, these are only a few of the best things you should do in Milan on a long weekend!
In this comprehensive guide to Florence, I’m taking you to the home of the Medici Family and all the paramount spots of the Italian Renaissance.
To this date, there are so many art treasures that Florence deems rather an open-air museum than a North Italian city with ordinary people and everyday life.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Ma certo, one week is quite tight when it comes to a trip to Sicily, even if you limit your visit to the very best places. The island at the southern tip of mainland Italy has more to offer than you would find in many entire countries! Did you know that Sicily has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites? These excellent locations are so different that there is something for everyone. Whether it is the ancient archaeological sites in Syracuse, the artistic mosaics of the Villa Romana del Casale near Armerina, the baroque center of Noto, or the Aeolian Islands – you will be amazed!
But in addition to these fantastic sites, you should, of course, also make time to laze on the beach in Taormina and enjoy a delicious aperitivo in the evening during the sunset. After all, the Dolce Vita is as much a part of Italy as pizza and pasta.
So that you don’t lose track of all these fantastic options, I have put together an itinerary for you with the best places that you should definitely visit in one week in Sicily.
If you have more time, even better – you won’t be bored for a second, believe me!
Agreed, Taormina is definitely one of the most touristy places in Sicily, and this comes with all the annoyances overtourism tends to cause. This being said, no one can deny that Taormina is the most beautiful town in all of Sicily, hence, in this guide, I’m introducing the best thing not to miss when visiting this gem on the eastern coast of the island.
