The second time I visited Czech Republic, Kutnà Hora captured my interest with its mysterious ossuary. It is a chapel that is entirely decorated with bones (from more than 40.000 human skeletons!) and with peculiar elements, such as angels. The effect is quite special.
In 2015, I spent 4 days in Portugal, in Lisbon. One day, I can’t recall exactly why, most of the museums and shops were closed in Lisbon, but the attractions of Sintra were open. So I decided to take the train and go there for the day.
Czech Republic is a beautiful country. And I’m not just talking about Prague. There are many other cities worth a visit, and one of my favourite is Český Krumlov (pronounce “Tsheskee Krumlof”). I spent 2 nights there in April 2016 and loved it!
We walked around the cute streets, amazed by the beauty of the Trulli of Alberobello. There were the regular trulli, some kind of little houses with actually more space inside than expected.
If you are visiting Paris and, like me, you enjoy chasing the street art, I recommend going to Montmartre. This district is well known for its artistic history. In the 19th century, it was the home of many artists, and quite a few of them are now renowned.
Last week, I spent a few days in London. My friend is incredibly knowledgeable about what to do in London, and when I told her I was looking for a place to do shopping and walk in a park, she suggested Kingston Upon Thames that is close to Hampton Court Park. And it was the perfect idea!
As a child, I went several times to Chaumont-sur-Loire’s International Garden Festival with my brother and my parents. During Summer, it was a nice day trip, with a lot of gardens and usually water to play with.
Strasbourg is composed of various quarters, with different feelings. The one that appears most often online is the “Petite France” (litterally Little France), with its typical houses, canals and touristy places.
There are a few tourist attractions to see in Ankara, and the Kocatepe Mosque is one of them. I found it absolutely stunning.
