]]> Winter isn’t exactly the most enjoyable time of year. Cold temperatures, gray skies, and minimal daylight can have a serious impact on mental health, leading many travelers to book trips to tropical destinations in effort to get away from it all. If you’re someone who isn’t bothered by the season, however, Europe is one of the best destinations to visit during the winter months. Read on to learn more about some of the top European cities perfect for a snowy escape.

Prague, Czech Republic

Often called “The City of a Hundred Spires,” winter transforms the Czech capital into a picture-perfect scene straight out of a fairytale. The city’s historic architecture, including the iconic Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, becomes even more beautiful under a dusting of snow. Cozy up with a cup of hot mulled wine at a cafe, or check out the local Christmas markets to shop for handmade gifts.

Interlaken, Switzerland

The Swiss town of Interlaken in the heart of the Alps is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts and those seeking a more adventurous retreat. Go skiing or snowboarding against a backdrop of snow-covered peaks, or go off the beaten path with activities like curling and snowshoeing.

Vienna, Austria

Vienna’s grand palaces and classical music heritage take on a special charm when accompanied by festive lights and traditional Christmas markets. The city has an almost magical quality that can only be improved by listening to some Mozart with a rich cup of hot chocolate.

Old Town Square

A visit to the city’s Old Town Square is a time well spent. You’ll get to enjoy incredible architecture like Gothic towers and churches, see live performances, and be in awe of Prague Orloj; the world’s oldest astronomical clock still in operation.

Wallenstein Palace

Besides its intriguing Baroque design, the place is also famous for its gardens. Entry to the gardens is free and offers tourists and locals a place where they can escape from the city noise while relaxing with the sights of flowers, fountains, and peacocks.

]]> Fall is our absolute favorite time of year in Europe—the intense heat of summer has finally broken, and the cold darkness of winter has yet to arrive. The cool, crisp air is perfect for days spent strolling through cobblestone streets, and the foliage looks even more beautiful against a backdrop of historic buildings. Prague, in particular, has a unique charm that makes it an ideal setting to enjoy all that the season has to offer. Read on to learn more about some of the best ways to enjoy fall in the Czech capital.

Explore Local Parks

Prague is home to hundreds of beautiful parks that are worth visiting year round, but come fall, the lush greenery of summer transforms into a sea of red and gold that makes local parks an absolute must-see for anyone traveling in the city. Some of the most famous include Letná and Stromovka, which offer views of the Vltava River as a backdrop to the foliage. Take a leisurely stroll and soak it all in, or use it as an opportunity to capture some postcard-worthy travel photos.

Enjoy Seasonal Czech Cuisine

Autumn calls for comfort food, and the climate of Prague combined with the culinary traditions of the region have led comfort food to become something that Praguers do exceptionally well. Warm up with a bowl of goulash, a traditional dish consisting of beef in a thick onion gravy, or keep it simple with some traditional bread dumplings. Explore local markets to see what’s in season, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even try foraging for mushrooms in the Ďáblice forest just north of the city.

Check Out Fall Festivals & Events

Take advantage of the weather in Prague before it gets too cold by checking out local events and festivals. One of our favorites is the Signal Festival, a digital light and art show held annually in the middle of October. There are also plenty of food and beer festivals held throughout the season, including a dedicated soup festival known locally as Polívkování. By November, you’ll start to see Christmas markets popping up.

]]> There’s so much about Europe that makes it a fantastic destination for travelers of all types—its culture, architecture, and history, to name a few examples. Unfortunately, a lot of what makes Europe feel special can also be a challenge when it comes to navigation. Cobblestone streets are charming, but they can also be uncomfortable to walk on for long distances, and historical buildings aren’t always updated with accessible features. For some, this may not be an issue, but for others, limited mobility may be an essential factor in deciding whether to visit a particular location. If this applies to you, read on to learn more about some of the most walkable cities worth visiting in Europe.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Amsterdam is generally considered to be the most walkable city in all of Europe. The infrastructure in most areas features well-maintained pedestrian paths, while the city’s compact neighborhoods keep shops, restaurants, and museums of all kinds easy to access. With its charming canals and over 30 parks, walking around Amsterdam is also quite visually appealing.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague’s size makes it an ideal destination for travelers who prefer to explore on foot. While the entirety of modern Prague is relatively large, its historic center is quite compact and easy to navigate. Take a stroll across the Charles Bridge, or visit the iconic Prague Castle—both less than 20 minutes walk from the city’s Old Town, or “Staré Mesto.”

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is reasonably walkable compared to other European cities, but what really sets it apart is how accessible it is for those with limited mobility. The capital of the Catalonia region has top-notch public transportation, much of which has been adapted to make it accessible for wheelchair users.

We next venture to the sun-kissed Amalfi Coast in Italy. With its stunning cliffside villages, azure waters, and delectable cuisine, the Amalfi Coast is a dreamy haven for couples. Take a scenic drive along the winding coastal roads, explore the picturesque towns of Positano and Ravello, and indulge in candlelit dinners overlooking the sparkling sea.

Santorini

Last but not least, we set our sights on the idyllic island of Santorini in Greece. Famous for its whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and stunning sunsets, Santorini offers a postcard-perfect setting for romance.

]]> There are so many things to do when traveling that it’s hard to make time for everything. But if you love reading as much as you love traveling, visiting a library should always be on your travel itinerary. These are three of the most beautiful libraries in the world.

Tianjin Binhai Library, Tianjin, China

Opened in 2017, making it the newest library on the list, the city of Tianjin, China is home to the Tianjin Binhai Library.

Strahov Monastery Library, Prague, Czech Republic

Designed in the iconic Baroque style, the Strahov Library is a feat of beautiful and unique architecture.

George Peabody Library, Baltimore, Maryland, United States

If you’ve been looking for a library that resembles a wedding cake, the George Peabody Library is the one for you. Opened in 1878, the library boasts five tiers of ornamental cast-iron balconies leading up to a skylight 61 feet from the floor. It was opened as a dedication to the people of Baltimore by philanthropist George Peabody and it contains more than 300,000 books.

]]> If you’re a huge fan of gothic architecture, Prague will leave you in awe since it’s home to some of the best examples of this architectural style. Gothic churches are scattered all around the Czech capital, and here are three you shouldn’t miss during your visit.

St. Vitus Cathedral

You practically couldn’t miss this beautiful cathedral even if you wanted to because it’s one of Prague’s top attractions. It’s part of the Prague Castle complex, and it’s best known for being home to the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman emperors. Make sure to step inside during your visit because its stained-glass windows are a sight to behold.

Church of Our Lady Before Týn

This stunning gothic church dominates the skyline of the Old Town of Prague, and it’s been around since the 14th century. Its two towers with picture-perfect spires are its most recognizable features and they can be seen from many lookouts in the city.

Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul

Vyšehrad fortress is one of Prague’s must-see attractions on the east bank of the Vltava River. Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul is the first building you’ll notice once you’re there, and it will win you over with its neo-gothic architecture, and elaborate frescoes, carvings, and mosaics.

]]> Fans of gothic and baroque architecture will feel right at home in Prague, but you won’t be disappointed by this city if you’re looking for something a little bit quirkier. Unique attractions are scattered all around the Czech capital, and these three are truly bursting with color.

Lennon Wall

Lennon Wall stands in stark contrast to Prague’s classic architecture, but that’s not stopping it from being one of the city’s top attractions. This colorful wall started taking shape in the ’80s and it’s now covered with John Lennon-inspired graffiti, the Beatles’ lyrics, and other messages related to social causes.

Golden Lane

This tiny street in Prague was named after goldsmiths who lived here in the 17th century, and it was once home to writers Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Seifert. Surprisingly enough, this isn’t what this street is best known for—its colorful houses, painted during the 50s, give it a special charm.

Jubilee Synagogue

Jubilee Synagogue, also known as Jerusalem Synagogue stands in stark contrast to many of Prague’s most recognizable buildings thanks to its unique style. It was inspired by elements of Moorish Revival and Art Nouveau, and its colorful façade with horseshoe arches is impossible to miss.

]]> There’s so much about Europe that makes it a fantastic destination for travelers of all types—its culture, architecture, and history, to name a few examples. Unfortunately, a lot of what makes Europe feel special can also be a challenge when it comes to navigation. Cobblestone streets are charming, but they can also be uncomfortable to walk on for long distances, and historical buildings aren’t always updated with accessible features. For some, this may not be an issue, but for others, limited mobility may be an essential factor in deciding whether to visit a particular location. If this applies to you, read on to learn more about some of the most walkable cities worth visiting in Europe.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Amsterdam is generally considered to be the most walkable city in all of Europe. The infrastructure in most areas features well-maintained pedestrian paths, while the city’s compact neighborhoods keep shops, restaurants, and museums of all kinds easy to access. With its charming canals and over 30 parks, walking around Amsterdam is also quite visually appealing.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague’s size makes it an ideal destination for travelers who prefer to explore on foot. While the entirety of modern Prague is relatively large, its historic center is quite compact and easy to navigate. Take a stroll across the Charles Bridge, or visit the iconic Prague Castle—both less than 20 minutes walk from the city’s Old Town, or “Staré Mesto.”

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is reasonably walkable compared to other European cities, but what really sets it apart is how accessible it is for those with limited mobility. The capital of the Catalonia region has top-notch public transportation, much of which has been adapted to make it accessible for wheelchair users.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to indulge in some quality time together, there are countless enchanting destinations that will set the perfect stage for romance. Here are three captivating places that will sweep you (and your loved one) off your feet and create lasting memories.

Amalfi Coast

We next venture to the sun-kissed Amalfi Coast in Italy. With its stunning cliffside villages, azure waters, and delectable cuisine, the Amalfi Coast is a dreamy haven for couples. Take a scenic drive along the winding coastal roads, explore the picturesque towns of Positano and Ravello, and indulge in candlelit dinners overlooking the sparkling sea.

Santorini

Last but not least, we set our sights on the idyllic island of Santorini in Greece. Famous for its whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and stunning sunsets, Santorini offers a postcard-perfect setting for romance. The combination of natural beauty and Greek hospitality makes Santorini an unforgettable destination for couples.

]]> There are so many things to do when traveling that it’s hard to make time for everything. But if you love reading as much as you love traveling, visiting a library should always be on your travel itinerary. These are three of the most beautiful libraries in the world.

Tianjin Binhai Library, Tianjin, China

Opened in 2017, making it the newest library on the list, the city of Tianjin, China is home to the Tianjin Binhai Library. Nicknamed “The Eye”, it features a luminous sphere in its auditorium and floor-to-ceiling bookcases across its walls. It’s a giant, futuristic-looking building over five levels, with a staggering surface area of 33700 m². The library also acts as an educational center and a social space. 

Strahov Monastery Library, Prague, Czech Republic

Designed in the iconic Baroque style, the Strahov Library is a feat of beautiful and unique architecture. The oldest part of the library is the Theological Hall, founded all the way back during the 1670s. With over 18,000 books on theology, it’s one of the most beautiful monasteries, and libraries, in the world. 

George Peabody Library, Baltimore, Maryland, United States

If you’ve been looking for a library that resembles a wedding cake, the George Peabody Library is the one for you. Opened in 1878, the library boasts five tiers of ornamental cast-iron balconies leading up to a skylight 61 feet from the floor. It was opened as a dedication to the people of Baltimore by philanthropist George Peabody and it contains more than 300,000 books.

]]> If you’re a huge fan of gothic architecture, Prague will leave you in awe since it’s home to some of the best examples of this architectural style. Gothic churches are scattered all around the Czech capital, and here are three you shouldn’t miss during your visit.

St. Vitus Cathedral

You practically couldn’t miss this beautiful cathedral even if you wanted to because it’s one of Prague’s top attractions. It’s part of the Prague Castle complex, and it’s best known for being home to the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Holy Roman emperors. Make sure to step inside during your visit because its stained-glass windows are a sight to behold.

Church of Our Lady Before Týn

This stunning gothic church dominates the skyline of the Old Town of Prague, and it’s been around since the 14th century. Its two towers with picture-perfect spires are its most recognizable features and they can be seen from many lookouts in the city.

Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul

Vyšehrad fortress is one of Prague’s must-see attractions on the east bank of the Vltava River. Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul is the first building you’ll notice once you’re there, and it will win you over with its neo-gothic architecture, and elaborate frescoes, carvings, and mosaics.

]]> Fans of gothic and baroque architecture will feel right at home in Prague, but you won’t be disappointed by this city if you’re looking for something a little bit quirkier. Unique attractions are scattered all around the Czech capital, and these three are truly bursting with color.

Lennon Wall

Lennon Wall stands in stark contrast to Prague’s classic architecture, but that’s not stopping it from being one of the city’s top attractions. This colorful wall started taking shape in the ’80s and it’s now covered with John Lennon-inspired graffiti, the Beatles’ lyrics, and other messages related to social causes.

Golden Lane

This tiny street in Prague was named after goldsmiths who lived here in the 17th century, and it was once home to writers Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Seifert. Surprisingly enough, this isn’t what this street is best known for—its colorful houses, painted during the 50s, give it a special charm.

Jubilee Synagogue

Jubilee Synagogue, also known as Jerusalem Synagogue stands in stark contrast to many of Prague’s most recognizable buildings thanks to its unique style. It was inspired by elements of Moorish Revival and Art Nouveau, and its colorful façade with horseshoe arches is impossible to miss.
