Prague, the City of a Hundred Spires has breathtaking views that you definitely can't miss, especially on a summer night. The best spot for an amazing panoramic view of the city takes a climb of 287 steps up to the Prague Castle. Believe me, it's worth the effort! Price: FREE (if you would like to go inside the castle: basic: 350 CZK, family 700 CZK) Prague has its own version of the Eiffel Tower. It is called Petrin Tower , set on Petrin Hill. It measures 60 meters, however, be ready to climb the most stairs in the city- 299 in number. Price: Price: basic- 150 CZK, family- 350 CZK.

After a long absence due to being in the middle of three jobs, I decided to get back to my travel writing hobby. Today I want to tell you about the trip I had in June to Montenegro. I am this type of person that plans the most amazing trips on the last minute and.... by myself. It was a weekend in June, had some days off because of some national holidays in Romania and I was thinking that I NEED to go somewhere (you know that feeling of ''escaping''). So, as I based in Timisoara (Romania, close to Hungary and Serbia) it is easier to get into European countries by any means of transportation. So, I booked the Timisoara-Belgrade train, then Belgrade-Budva bus. The train tickets were booked locally at a very low rate through an offer called ''Banat Special'', designed to promote the tourism for Romania and Serbia. The bus ticket from Belgrade to Budva was booked here, for only 18 euro per way! I got safe to Budva (booked a hostel in advance), enjoyed

Venice- the city with 118 islands, and 417 bridges 72 of which are private has a lot to offer no matter of the low or high season. Today I will share with you how I got to Venice and where I left my luggage for a day trip within the city. I took the overnight train from Rome to Venice, however, I will admit this was not a brilliant idea. The slow train is not worth the traveling time and gets out all of your energy. I booked my tickets with Loco2  as they had a better offer than TrenItalia.  Book your trip as soon as you have decided on your dates because the prices are increasing tremendously from one day to another. It seems that they are subject to availability (for example, today you can get a ticket Rome-Venice for 9 euros and in a week it can go up to 50 euros). So, first, check Train Italia and if the options are not as expected, try some agencies, like Loco2. Our train departed at 22:35 and arrived at 05:20. A bit early, huh? That's why I recommend departing a

The Dracula's country (this is the symbol we are known mostly worldwide) has more to offer than you ever could have imagined. We has as neighbors the Republic of Moldova, Serbia, Hungary, Ukraine and Bulgaria.  Usually, you have no reasons to get out of the country when is about travelling: we have the Black Sea on the East mountains on the middle and the North of the country, fields on the West. The medieval cities kept their structure (like Brasov, Sighisoara, Sibiu, which is an amazing one).  In 2007, Sibiu was the European Capital of Culture and for 2019 wants to be the European Region of Gastronomy. But the question is, what do you think of when you say ''Romania''? Before you answer, here are some details not all people know: 1.
