Travel Daily Tip

At  sagrada familia in Barcelona there is a lift you can take (2.5 euros) to go to the top and view the city, when you are inside the church you will see a line of people waiting to go up the lift, dont join them – instead go outside and search for the 2nd lift – it is a smaller lift but hardly any people waiting there and the best part about this one is that you can walk between towers and not only get to view the city from one tower – much more fun.

Note that the way down is by stairs

This is a really beautiful basilica. This church is named after Saint Stephen I of Hungary who was the first King of Hungary (c. 975–1038) and his hand is also presented in there (there is a special glass box where you need to put some money to get the light on, i must admit this is pretty bizarre, but you still want to see it.

When visiting Amsterdam, try to visit the western church one of the mornings, every morning they have a tour to the top of the chrch while climbing narrow laders viewing many amazing, huge bells. The tour is a guided tour of an hour or so and it is really nice, in addition the view from the top is an extra bonus.

This place is one of my favorite spots in Budapest, it is located at Buda and it is a well-known for the wonderful panoramic views of the city. Near this place you can also find the Matthias Church. You can reach there  by the Castle bus (Varbusz) from Moszkva ter, or just take bus #16, although i think the best option is just to walk across the chain bridge to Buda.

This is defiantly one of the most interesting church I have ever seen (especially from an architecture point of view), the church looks really different than anything I have seen before. The best part is to take the elevator to the roof  of it and get a great view of Rekjavik.

Watch out  – The bells, which are located on the same roof you are getting the wonderful view from,  will begin ringing like crazy at the beginning of an hour  – really loud.

Address: Skólavörðuholti – Pósthólf 651 – 121 Reykjavík
