Ghent is one of Belgium’s major cities, and I have to admit that I didn’t have particularly high expectations of it, especially after experiencing the fairytale charm of Bruges not once, but twice. Still, I’m always curious to discover somewhere new. So, during my last visit to Belgium I decided to make a plan for visiting Ghent.
A well-planned city break gives you more time for neighbourhoods, landmarks and local food without turning each day into a race. The key is to remove the small delays that gradually consume your schedule, from carrying bags across town to retracing your route between distant attractions.
You don’t need to account for every minute. A few sensible choices about timing, transport and luggage storage in Melbourne can create enough flexibility for an unexpected market, a longer lunch or one more museum before closing.
Monteriggioni is the hidden gem of Tuscany, a place like a movie set, a handful of medieval buildings surrounded by a fortress. A place where you suddenly plunge a few centuries back in time. A true fairy tale. We were there at sunset and it was amazing.
Many years ago, I had the chance to explore several beautiful places in Croatia. This year, I returned to the country, this time to discover the best things to see in Zadar. I arrived without many expectations, which perhaps made the experience even more enjoyable. By the end of my visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the city’s history, atmosphere, and seaside charm.
Edessa waterfalls are several beautiful waterfalls in the northern part of Greece. Two of them are particularly impressive – Karanos, about 70 meters high and considered one of the highest waterfalls in Greece, and Lambda – just below the large waterfall. A pleasant park for walking has been built near them – Edessa waterfalls park.
Parga in Greece was off my list of places I dream of visiting. I had heard of it, of course, but it wasn’t until my friends suggested we take a late summer or early fall trip there that I researched the area, looked at photos, and then couldn’t wait for the time to come for our visit to Parga, Greece. It took place at the end of September. It turned out to be a pretty good time to go there – warm, without the horrendous heat.
The Vishegrad Bridge is an impressive bridge over the Drina River in Bosnia and Herzegovina, titled as one of the most significant constructions in Bosnia during the period 15-19 centuries.

Until recently, I associated Sicily mainly with the Etna volcano, but now I know this is the island of sun, sea and ancient history. In seven sunny October days, I was exploring the island and realized that there are so, so many remarkable places to visit in Sicily. Each of those destinations revealed me a different face of this interesting island – remains of ancient cities, old streets of small towns, volcanic landscapes, a sea of hills and dizzying sea panoramas. Those seven days turned out to be insufficient to see everything I wanted, but they definitely immersed me in the spirit of the Sicily.
Here I have gathered a list of some interesting facts about Sicily.
Thanks to my recent visit to Sicily, I learned a lot about the history, geography and culture of the island and gained great impressions, most of which I shared in several separate articles dedicated to a trip to Sicily.
