]]> There’s never a bad time to dream of skiing adventures, even when the summer is about to start. The ski season will open eventually again in Europe, so let’s take a look at some of the most interesting resorts Switzerland has to offer.

Zermatt

This is the highest resort in the Alpes area, with summits as high as 3,900 meters. Other than the usual facilities, the ski resorts here offer guests a GPS app to help them navigate between the different tracks.

St. Moritz

This is a classic and perhaps most known as the luxury location for a ski vacation. The village has already hosted the Winter Olympics twice, and the facilities are state of the art. Don’t be surprised to find some world leaders and celebrities skiing on the same slopes as you.

Davos

Known mostly for the yearly economic summit, Davos is also a great place to ski in. The local resorts have more than 300 kilometers of different pistes (the longest is more than 13 kilometers long!), so you’ll never get bored.

Verbier

This place is the perfect location for experienced skiers and less suitable for beginners. It has the steepest descents in Europe, which is obviously an attraction for many of the world’s professional skiers.

]]> Summer is coming! At least if you are living or visiting the southern hemisphere. And if you are, you might want to have a look at these amazing beaches in Sydney—where you can surf, jog or just chill.

Bondi Beach

This is probably the go-to beach for most people in the city. Being located just 15 minutes from the city center makes it very accessible. You can enjoy the golden sand and all the beach facilities as well as a beautiful promenade.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CGuODLwBOdN/

Manly Beach

This is the center of the action. On this beach, you can enjoy numerous restaurants, cafes, shops and attractions. It is also possible to rent a bike and take a tour around the promenade. For beginner surfers, this is also a hot spot as swells are usually consistent.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYEwQrH6Xj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Balmoral Beach

A favorite place for local families. Balmoral Beach has calm water and a shark net, which keeps everyone safe. There are also many cafes around, as well as picnic spots where you can enjoy some quality time with friends and family.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CEvfo04MrNT/

Tamarama Beach

The locals refer to it as “hipsters beach.” Swimming here is not really advised, because of rips and drop-off, but if you want to see and be seen—this is the place for you. This is also a popular meeting place for people who enjoy playing volleyball.

Address: Via degli Orfani, 84, 00186 Roma
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 7am to 8pm

Sunday from 10:30 to 7:15 pm

]]> Its unique location in the west of Europe granted Portugal some of the most beautiful beaches on the continent. If you are looking for a place to spend your next summer vacation, you should definitely check these beaches out as an option.

Praia de Marinha

This is perhaps Portugal’s most iconic beach. Surrounded by golden cliffs that separate it from the road, you will find easy access to its soft sand and clear water. If you like diving, you can also try out finding one of the numerous underwater caves.

Praia Dona Ana

Not far from the city of Lagos—which is full of hotels and great restaurants—this beach is heaven for photographers. The surrounding cliffs give you shelter from the sun and create a wide array of colors. Try to avoid it during high season, when it is packed with tourists.

Paria de Benagil

This place is a unique spot and known for its sea-caves. The beach itself is lovely, and you can take a boat ride to see the famous caves or just rest on the white sand.

]]> During the 16th century, many farmers in Tuscany started to grow grapes and produce wine. However, at the time, selling the wine was much more difficult than today for three main reasons: first, the land where the grapes were growing didn’t belong to the farmers but rather to the rich landlords who taxed the wine selling. Moreover, a set of regulations were installed that burdened the farmer and made the selling of wine not economical. A third reason was that epidemics were quite common at the time, making the selling dangerous for the winemakers.

The solution the local winemakers found was absolutely brilliant. They have created a small hole in the wall from which they can sell the wine while protecting their identity and limiting contact with the buyers.

Today there are around 267 “wine windows” in Tuscany, most of them in the city of Florence. These became once again popular lately with the spread of Covid-19. The restaurants in Florence were forced to close during the pandemic, but the 16th century solution was proved useful once again, allowing the wine sellers to continue running their business.

Cova

Cova is all about coffee. This hole-in-the-wall tiny coffee shop had a few chairs and, of course, you can always take-away and find a nice spot outside. If you love espresso, this is the place for you.

It all dates back to the 1930s, when an owner of a local hotdog stand decided he wanted a change and used the grill to make some thinly sliced steaks. Add some bubbly hot cheese and fried onions to that, and you can see why it turned into a local hit. We gathered for you the best places in town to get the full local experience.

Joe’s Stakes

This is a vintage American place for steaks and sodas. They treat their own meat, so you get a sandwich that is made of very fresh steaks and not premade packed one. It is also very easy to get there with public transportation.

Address: 1 W Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 11pm

Tony Luke’s

This place is owned by a local celebrity Tony Luke who is often on TV to comment on local food. The place offers 12 different versions of cheesesteaks with a variety of toppings.

Address: 39 E Oregon Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 8am to 10pm

John’s Roast Pork

As the name suggests, this place is not all about cheesesteaks, but they surely make one of the best sandwiches in town. It is a family-owned business that had won many awards in BBQ competitions. They take their sandwiches really seriously, and you will get no less than 340 g of perfectly tender beef.

Not far from the city of Lagos—which is full of hotels and great restaurants—this beach is heaven for photographers. The surrounding cliffs give you shelter from the sun and create a wide array of colors. Try to avoid it during high season, when it is packed with tourists.

Paria de Benagil

This place is a unique spot and known for its sea-caves. The beach itself is lovely, and you can take a boat ride to see the famous caves or just rest on the white sand.

]]> During the 16th century, many farmers in Tuscany started to grow grapes and produce wine. However, at the time, selling the wine was much more difficult than today for three main reasons: first, the land where the grapes were growing didn’t belong to the farmers but rather to the rich landlords who taxed the wine selling. Moreover, a set of regulations were installed that burdened the farmer and made the selling of wine not economical. A third reason was that epidemics were quite common at the time, making the selling dangerous for the winemakers.

The solution the local winemakers found was absolutely brilliant. They have created a small hole in the wall from which they can sell the wine while protecting their identity and limiting contact with the buyers.

Today there are around 267 “wine windows” in Tuscany, most of them in the city of Florence. These became once again popular lately with the spread of Covid-19. The restaurants in Florence were forced to close during the pandemic, but the 16th century solution was proved useful once again, allowing the wine sellers to continue running their business.

Cova

Cova is all about coffee. This hole-in-the-wall tiny coffee shop had a few chairs and, of course, you can always take-away and find a nice spot outside. If you love espresso, this is the place for you.

]]> In Philadelphia, the cheesesteak is not just a sandwich—it is a whole culture. It all dates back to the 1930s, when an owner of a local hotdog stand decided he wanted a change and used the grill to make some thinly sliced steaks. Add some bubbly hot cheese and fried onions to that, and you can see why it turned into a local hit. We gathered for you the best places in town to get the full local experience.

Joe’s Stakes

This is a vintage American place for steaks and sodas. They treat their own meat, so you get a sandwich that is made of very fresh steaks and not premade packed one. It is also very easy to get there with public transportation.

Address: 1 W Girard Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 11am to 11pm

Tony Luke’s

This place is owned by a local celebrity Tony Luke who is often on TV to comment on local food. The place offers 12 different versions of cheesesteaks with a variety of toppings.

Address: 39 E Oregon Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 8am to 10pm

John’s Roast Pork

As the name suggests, this place is not all about cheesesteaks, but they surely make one of the best sandwiches in town. It is a family-owned business that had won many awards in BBQ competitions. They take their sandwiches really seriously, and you will get no less than 340 g of perfectly tender beef.

Address: 14 Snyder Ave, Philadelphia, PA
Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm
