Prague, Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Kraków, Vienna, and Budapest are popular tourist destinations today. But believe, it's worth getting off the well-trodden tourist routes and visiting other cities! The best thing you can do is to choose a walking tour to see the beautiful European streets and swing into magical yards. So where do we suggest you go?
Milan leads the popularity rating of cities in the northern Italian region of Lombardy. For those who don't like shopping, we suggest: if you somehow got carried away in Milan — run. Not far away, 50 km away, is Bergamo. The Old Town's iconic Piazza Vecchia, 14th-century Venetian walls, cobblestone pathways, shops, boutiques, and restaurants blend modernism with the Middle Ages. You may ride the funicular up the mountain from the bottom to the town, then from the center to the city park at the top of the mountain. After the colorful strolls, savor local wine and the famed Grana Padano cheese.
Split is a city monument but does not have as many historical sites as, for instance, Dubrovnik, nor is it as large as Zagreb. And most lately, there has been the Game of Thrones decor. In the fifth season, dragons make their first appearance in Diocletian's Palace, located in the heart of the Old City. Celebrate the fact that Stina is never unhappy in reality, take in the Adriatic air, sample the local food, or simply unwind on Kastelet's beach.
To see the broad perspective of the city and the sea, climb a mountain in the Maryan National Park if you enjoy the adventure. A day excursion to the island of Hvar, which is known as a tropical paradise and is located less than two hours from Split, should also be planned.
Granada is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The city served as the seat of the greatest and wealthiest emirate in the Pyrenees during the 12th century, the Emirate of Granada. Because of this, everything in this area, including the churches, has a Moorish feel.
The Alhambra, a royal complex with fortifications, gardens, and atop a rock, is Granada's most significant historical monument. The complex's terraces provide a breathtaking view of the city. By the way, there will be a wait for your panoramic shot because visitors are invading the Alhambra. Personal tickets for the castle are booked one to three months before the visit.
Additionally, we suggest purchasing your tickets for the well-liked excursion to the Moorish era. After spending time in the Moorish era, head back to the city to enjoy the vibrant bars and eateries. Do you want to socialize with the locals? Then check out the tapas bar.
Your visit to the Netherlands will not be complete without a visit to Maastricht. By the way, direct trains from Amsterdam to Maastricht run every half hour, and the journey takes 2 hours 26 minutes. For a "tourist for an hour," there is a boat on the water or an excursion School bus — you can see the main sights and orientate yourself in the area.
Walking through the old city squares of Vrithof, Markt, visiting the Basilica of St. Servas, the church of St. Jans, or the Dominican church built at the end of the 13th century, you understand how rich the history of the Netherlands is.
