There’s a mermaid in Warsaw, canals in Amsterdam, and in general, Stockholm has always seemed more interesting to me than the other Scandinavian capitals. In that case, is it worth visiting Copenhagen? If so, does it make sense to stop for only one day? Here’s my very subjective opinion on that.
Over the last decade, several truly unique historical museums have been established in Poland, ones that you visit not so much by viewing the exhibits in display cases, but by participating in a kind of story. The European Solidarity Center, which we recently visited, belongs to this type of facility.
According to us and many other travelers, Gdańsk is one of the most interesting cities in Poland. There are probably tons of materials on the main attractions and suggestions for sightseeing routes, which is why we will simply focus on a place that you will not find on the first pages of guides, but we liked it very much. Let’s travel to the Zaspa district.
One of the other places we saw during our visit to Portugal was the southern Algarve region. What’s there to see in this eye-catching place? Which places did we like the most? Today we’ll answer these and many other questions.
Porto is a city that, on the one hand, looks better on pictures than in reality, but on the other - it gains character when you get to know it better. We decided not to go crazy and limited the visit to one day, and after leaving, we felt pretty satisfied. In this post you’ll find a quite biased list of Porto’s worthwhile attractions, sprinkled with comments and our impressions.
Despite my interest in geography, until recently I couldn’t name any other Portuguese city than Lisbon and Porto. However, after researching a bit, I came across Aveiro. It’s not a very big city (less than 100,000 inhabitants), but there’s definitely a lot to see there.
We reached this edge of Europe for the first time in 2020, and taking into account the negative experiences of hitchhiking in Spain and the coronavirus lurking in the background, we didn’t have much hope of reaching our destination fast. Nevertheless, we took up the challenge and it went much better than we expected. If you want to find out how hitchhiking works in Portugal (at least from our experience), read on.
To complement the two previous posts about the HRP, we prepared a gallery of 130 of our favorite photos from the trail
Because of the fact that this was our first long distance trail, we could undoubtedly have done many things much better. Nevertheless, we managed to complete the Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne (HRP) running through the entire range without hurting ourselves. This post can be treated as tips for other hikers, but also as answers to the most frequently asked questions.
The adventure is over, it’s time to summarize. Today we will tell you how much of a hard time the almost 800 km long Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne gave us. Lest there be any doubts - it will also be about the fact that it was worth it. But don’t worry - we’ll also talk about why it was worth it.
