while in Barcelona we stayed at Casanova by Rafael Hotel, located at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 559 (which is about 5 minutes walk to plaza Catalunya. the rooms are really big considering it is close to the center, and they were clean and very comfortable to stay at.

On our way to Geirangerfjord (before starting to drive on trollstigen), we made a small detour to Eikesdalen valley and we drove there, once you get to the waterfalls you can turn around and drive back all the way or you can drive on a dirt road for 3 or so hours – views are amazing.

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 06:16:47 +0000

There are some great restaurants in Prague and prices are very reasonable, one restaurant I really liked is Ambiente located on Celetna 11 which is at the old town (when you are at old town square just look for this street (near Tyn church) and start walking down this street for few minutes.

There are also other restaurants in Prague which has the same name and belong to this branch – but as i understand they are not the same – so i can only recommend this one.

When visiting Bavarian Germany it is worth to drive to the city of Schwangau (near fussen which you probably going to visit anyway) and take a tour inside the Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle is truly amazing both from the inside but mainly from the outside.

Prague free walking tours – travel tip #88

admin — Tue, 17 May 2011 09:45:25 +0000

There are free walking tours in major cities around the world, presented by the Neweuropetours and I just happen to catch a walking tour in Prague (few months ago my husband was also taking this tour in London and he loved it). The tours are really light and the guides are really funny and share a lot of knowledge – defiantly should check their site and see if there is a tour where you are heading next.

For the Prague tour – you meet the guide daily at 11 am or 2 pm right near the Starbucks at old town square

Gamla Stan, Stockholm – Travel Tip #87

admin — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 09:07:12 +0000

Stockholm is a beautiful city with many islands combined together, one of the best parts in Stockholm is the old city which is known as Gamla Stan, this is not a big part of the city, located in the heart of Stockholm and connected by bridges to other islands. you should just spend a few hours walking in the old street, and visit the royal palace.

Portobello Market, London – Travel tip #85

admin — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 05:43:44 +0000

I really love markets, whenever i visit cities i try to visit at least few markets, it doesn’t matter if I end up buying stuff or not (and usually i do) but it is a lot of fun to walk and see all kind of stuff laying on the stands.

In London I really enjoyed Portobello Market, even if it is not the most famous, and it is pretty small, it was great fun, it is actually a street market located at Notting Hill.

Port Olimpic in Barcelona – travel tip #84

admin — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 08:36:12 +0000

I was visiting Barcelona for a week during September 2010 and I actually had a dilemma about this tip, since usually I write about good experiences and stuff i really liked but in this case its the opposite.

Port Olimpic is the area with some restaurants, bars and night clubs in Barcelona, right on the port so of course it has a great potential, great view and nice atmosphere there, but, i tried 2 different restaurants there and other than the fact they look really fancy and great and they are much more expensive than other places, the food was not that great (to say the least) – both times i was very disappointed – so maybe i chose the wrong places but striking out 2 out of 2 looks like a pattern to me…if you go there – make sure to know which place to go by recommendations (from someone you trust) before you go there.
