Brno in the South Moravian Region is actually the second largest city in Czech Republic. But it is my understanding that it is not an extremely popular tourist destination: despite the fact that there are so many things to do in Brno, I did not see tourists crowding anywhere. Well, except the main square 😊 And people here speak more German than English, which is no wonder as the city […]
A guide to the Paris metro system. Whenever I travel to a big city, I always check if they have a subway system. In my opinion, it’s the most convenient and fastest way of moving around and has many advantages: trains run quite often, no traffic jams, and they usually have stops very close to famous tourist attractions. And the Paris metro isn’t an exception. I have visited Paris a […]

Stavanger, the oil capital of Norway, is a small city in the Southern part of Norway. It is one of the most beautiful small cities I have ever seen: it has colourful buildings, some fantastic street art, and the area of old town is simply spectacular! Now, what to do in Stavanger then if you have one day only? Just look at the buildings? Is there anything else? Yes, there […]
Preikestolen, or the Pulpit Rock in English (some call it Preachers Rock as well) is a cliff overlooking the picturesque Lysefjord in the southern part of Norway. It is on the bucket list of many people and, I guess, Preikestolen hike alongside with Trolltunga are two of the most famous in Norway. The Pulpit Rock is relatively not far from Stavanger (I hope you have time to see this amazing […]
I have been to Paris several times, but it has always been a part of my business trips, and I have never had enough time to actually see the city. To help other busy travelers, who usually have a day between the last meeting and flight back home, I made this itinerary with places to visit in Paris in one day. Unfortunately, it does not include all of the best […]
I didn’t plan to visit Stonehenge in February, but the stars aligned this way 🙂 I had a business trip to London, and my dear boss, who knew I wanted to go to Stonehenge, said: ‘Why don’t we go to Salisbury for a day then?’ What it meant was that we didn’t have much choice, so rain-no rain, we had one day only for visiting Stonehenge. Salisbury seemed to be […]
Prague has quite a neat public transport system consisting of metro, trams and buses. I have never had any difficulties navigating the city as everything is pretty clear. I spent more than a week in Prague and used all means of transportation available, so I came up with a useful guide to Prague public transport. If you stay in the city center and do not plan any day trips, you […]
Prague is a fantastic city! Visiting it had been a dream of mine for many years. And do you know why? Just because one day I saw pictures of its red roofs and it was enough for me 🙂 I spent a week sightseeing Prague, and I did not manage to see everything I had in my list. Still, it is not that difficult to define the most important tourist […]
If you read my blog, you probably know already that I am not a fan of museums, but I am really into architecture, parks and gardens. I have to say that Prague perfectly combines all the things I consider beautiful and amazing. You can enjoy the city’s architecture just by walking around the city, and its parks and gardens are free to visit. So, what to do in Prague for […]
