Siena was on our way to Florence from Rome, so we decided to stop for a few hours. The drive is just over 2h and 30 minutes, and the scenery of Tuscany is fantastic. The city is a Unesco World Heritage Site and its beginning dates back to the age-old 900 BC. Every corner of the city was charming, and you do not need a car to get around the city. This is why we parked in a public parking lot just 10 minutes from everything. Piazza del Campo and the Duomo di Siena (or Siena Cathedral) are the main attractions, and located about five minutes apart, in the middle…

Our fourth day in Rome was dedicated to a visit to the Vatican. We booked all day for the tour there, but in fact we were able to see a few more things after visiting the Vatican Museum, which we had bought tickets in advance online, St. Peter’s Basilica and take a general tour of the area. I knew almost nothing about visiting the Vatican until I researched the subject before the trip. One thing I didn’t know was that access to the Vatican is not controlled, meaning I had the idea that it was monitored/paid for. What is really needed is the ticket to the Vatican Museum, one of…

Rome is the largest city in Italy, and it’s reach in history and landmarks. I think it’s a city like Paris, London, or New York, when you can go as many times as you want, and there’s still something new to see. In 2018, we started our tour of Europe here, and it did not disappoint. Since there’s so much, I decided to break down the post in three. The three posts are this one, our top five attractions and our day in the Vatican. This post can be considered the best of the rest of Rome. 🙂 Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna The Spanish Steps, which are in…

Rome is one of the oldest cities in the world and its history goes back 28 centuries. The city now has over 2 million inhabitants, with more than 4 million in the metropolitan area. But you can still feel like you’re back in time when strolling through its narrow streets, or visiting some of the old buildings around the city. If I look back at all the places we’ve been to, I would say Rome is on our top 5. Our Top Five Attractions Coliseum I will start the post with the most famous attraction in Rome – the Coliseum. Even if you’ve been there before (like myself), it still…

Our last stop on the old continent was in Seville and despite being at the end of the trip and we were already a little tired, the city ended up closing our first visit to Spain with a golden key. You know the first thing that crossed my mind while walking down some alleyways in town? What a romantic city, a good option to spend your honeymoon. Only then I went to read that yes, Seville is considered one of the most romantic cities in Spain. We took the early train in Valencia and arrived in about 4 hours later in Seville, the city of flamenco. The trip is quiet,…

Visual explosion at Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias Our visit to Valencia, Spain very short, but we managed to visit several of the most important sights. The city that emerged as a Roman colony in 138 BC. has a lot of history to tell, as well as a lot of recent things to visit. Of course, leaving Barcelona, it seemed that we would not be dazzled by little, but now recalling those days, I think Valencia gave a show, in his own way. We had 2 whole days to tourist in Valencia, the third largest city in Spain, behind only Madrid and Barcelona. We got there by train…
