a long rectangular image split into four parts. a small sliver on the bottom is some tall bright green grass. Then a lake takes up the rest of the bottom half the photo before more land split the lake from the sky. On this bit of land sits an old school castle. The clouds in the sky take up the remainder of the photo
Europe
I originally thought spending a day in Brussels was all you needed to explore the city. After living in Brussels for a month, I stumbled on so many hidden gems that you need to visit! Some are more off the beaten path than others, but well worth staying longer to have time to make your way there!
Both Namur and Dinant share a lot of similarities so there’s really no need to visit both. Especially if you’re only in Belgium for a limited time, you should choose to visit one or the other based on your interests.
When you’re looking up where to go in Belgium, you might stumble upon Dinant. It’s a photographers, bloggers, and Instagrammers dream! I mean talk about an Instagram worthy backdrop. But I’m here to show you that Dinant Belgium is a lot more than just a good view.
A one-day road trip to St Andrews from Edinburgh is the epitome of a day in Scotland. It has it all! Castle ruins, stunning (sunset) views, and there’s even golf for those interested!
You can visit Monjuïc for as long as you want. You can make a quick pit stop at the castle, take the Teleferic and that’s it. But there is so much more to this hill! I recommend spending a day visiting the different attractions in your Barcelona itinerary.
Girona (the city) is a lovely day trip from Barcelona. This small medieval town in the province of Girona in the North of Spain just a 30 minute train from Barcelona. It makes an easy day trip with picturesque views and links to Game of Thrones.
We absolutely loved staying in Gràcia during our Barcelona vacation. It’s the perfect neighbourhood if you’re looking to live like a local. Over a one month period, Gràcia truly became our home away from home.
Barcelona was my favourite place for souvenir shopping! It’s all very affordable and locally sourced good quality product. With so much to choose from, it’s good to have an idea of what you want beforehand.
Figueres is an interesting Spanish city to visit. It’s by no means the prettiest or cutest Spanish town I’ve seen. There also isn’t too much to do there. But, if you’re interested in Salvador Dali, then a day trip to Figueres is a must!
