Iceland is one of the most otherworldly destinations on Earth, reachable by plane rather than a billionaire’s startup. Offering some of Europe’s most astounding natural landscapes, including staggering volcanoes, gushing geysers, and geothermal springs to soak in for our own leisure, Iceland has soared to new heights over the past decade or so as an …
For most tourists heading to Europe in the summer, the Mediterranean is probably at the top of their bucket list: We’re all familiar with Italy’s rugged coastal drives, Croatia’s scenic pebbly coast, and the white-sand beaches and vintage feel of the South of France, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting a bit of that, but …
One of the most popular sunny destinations worldwide, the Mediterranean is at the top of every Europe-bound traveler’s bucket list this summer. Picture riding vespas along coastal cliffs in Italy on your way to a pastel-hue town where delicious seafood pasta and lemon sorbet awaits, lounging on a pebbly beach in the Dalmatia Coast with …
Dreaming of a sip of that frothy, pitch-black Guinness in a dimly-lit alley lined with pubs, to the sound of Gaelic buskers? Or maybe exploring fairytale castles nestled deep in a verdant hinterland, where few have trodden before? You know, the stuff of legendary kings and chivalric tales. Ireland is calling, and it’s high time …
Paris may well be Europe’s most sought-after destination, home to a plethora of iconic landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and its adjacent Champs-Élysées, Montmartre with the buskers and cobbled lanes… Do we really have to go through the list again? There are many reasons why we love Paris, from the romantic cafe culture …
After many years of delays, it’s finally happening, my friends. No, not the Electronic Travel Authorization, the other (equally) bureaucratic hurdle facing travelers when landing in the European Union (EU) in the near future—and this includes Americans. The 27-country-strong block is gearing up to launch its much-postponed Entry-Exit System, commonly shortened to EES, as early …
Croatia is a country of many islands- over 1,000 to be somewhat exact- and you’re likely to have heard of a trendy Hvar, an up-and-coming alternative to Ibiza, the resort-filled Krk at some point, or the idyllic Brač and its white-pebble beaches at some point. Croatian islands are nowhere near Greece’s level of popularity, but …
A small island lying off the Amalfi Coast, Capri is known worldwide for its crystal-clear seas, luxury villas, and lush gardens. Considering how many times it’s been featured on mainstream media, it’s no wonder it seems to be at the top of the bucket list for everyone visiting South Italy. However, it’s far from being …
Everyone who seems to know Spain almost exclusively thinks of Barcelona and its Gaudí-built wonders, Madrid for the leafy boulevards lined with Belle époque buildings, and Malaga for the golden-sand beaches, but there’s still plenty they don’t know about the vast, incredibly diverse Iberian country. We’ve already covered extensively lesser-known territories like Basque Country, to the north, …
I’ve been traveling for years and am definitely guilty of overlooking certain destinations because I assume right away they are out of my price range (looking at you Dubai)… But what if I told you the wealthiest country on Earth is actually a super affordable travel destination? Yep, I was just as surprised as you …
Come rain or come shine, Spain remains one of the most popular destinations globally. We guess we’re lucky now that spring is finally here and temperatures are rising across much of the sun-drenched Iberian country. This year, it is predicted to welcome over 100 million tourists, who are largely drawn to its sandy Mediterranean beaches, …
When you think of an idyllic European life, with Vespa rides, blood-orange sunsets, soft pistachio ice cream, and lounging for hours on a scenic beach, feet caressed by the warm Mediterranean, Italy, Croatia, or Greece probably come to mind.
