Perhaps the singular most frequent question I get asked having lived in Paris since 2016 is "do you have any recommendations for a great French restaurant?". The answer is Yes! This guide includes: 🇫🇷 20 Classic French brasseries and bistrots I've been to and loved, sorted from least to most expensive with price estimates per person. 🇫🇷 2 Corner Cafes that I truly adore (sometimes 'corner cafes' will also be brasseries or bistrots, but to me, corner cafes have their own special vibe). 🇫🇷 3 Corner Cafes that are specifically for great people-watching. 🇫🇷 5 Restaurants specializing in traditional dishes like crêpes, planches, flammekueche, French-style tapas, and more.

Guide includes: 8 Left Bank locations 4 Bridges 5 Right Bank locations What to expect and benefits of each location 12 of the 17 spots mentioned include my photos underneath each card (not in the cards themselves) so you can see what a "regular" person's photo looks like from these spots.

This was my second time in Edinburgh; both times I stayed about 5 days, so I've covered a lot of ground! During my first visit, I did the following: Free walking tour Edinburgh Castle Holyrood Palace The Whisky Experience Camera Obscura This time around, we were focused on one main "anchor" activity each day, and those were: Royal Yacht Britannia Underground Tour Arthur's Seat Hike Museums Aside from our "anchors", we spent lots of leisurely wandering and walking. We also ate and drank well (coffee and whisky). By now, I am confident I've done each of the big touristy things, AND a lot of more unique and off-the-beaten-path stuff. This itinerary is based on our 2nd trip so it doesn't include the major things we did the first time around. That said, if you'd like my assistance with organizing a custom itinerary for Edinburgh, I can help! (I'll discount the service by the price of this guide if you previously purchased it.)

FYI: The average price of a (good) cocktail in Paris is between 12-15 EUR. Sometimes you can find happy hour deals for 8-10 EUR.

Pack a ton into a long weekend in Stockholm, Sweden with this ambitious itinerary. Of the 5 days, the arrival and departure days are slow-paced; the 3 days in the middle are based on days starting at 9 AM, getting in 20k+ steps/day*, and ending around 11 PM/midnight. *This itinerary also relies on 2-wheel transport. We used scooters, but bikes are available, too. This itinerary follows a logical and efficient order for each day, and covers the following: - 5 Museums: Fotografiska, Vasa, Skansen, ABBA, Avicii - 3 Viewpoints - Archipelago Boat Experience - Neighborhoods: Gamla Stan, Sodermalm, Djurgarden island, and some Ostermalm & Norrmalm spots. - Food & Drink: Swedish cinnamon buns, Swedish meatballs, a local food market, a speakeasy, and a Viking beer hall; food & coffee suggestions throughout - ~10 Atlas Obscura finds (unique & unusual things) You will also find: - A few basic points about Sweden and Swedish culture (i.e. tap water, tipping expectations) - Accommodations: Our hotel + 3 others fitting different budgets - General Itinerary Plan (high-level view) - Additional activity and restaurant suggestions, in case you want to swap out some of the activities/restaurants we went to - Trip Cost Breakdown

This guide covers everything you need to know about how to spend a quintessential 3-6 days in Bergen - a UNESCO World Heritage city! Famous for its Fjords, seafood, and reindeer sausage hot dogs, discover what this coastal Scandinavian gem has to offer! This itinerary & guide combo includes: General Info: 🇳🇴Basics 🌦️Weather 🧳Packing Tips 🏷️Bergen Card, and❓Is it worth it? 🌭Food to Try 🍺Alcohol 📝Game Plan of how to spend 3-6 full days Day by Day Itinerary 📍Days 0-6 ❌What to Skip (hint: this guide costs less than what you’ll save!) 🚗Day Trip Recs (8) Extra Food & Drink Recs ☕️Cafés (3) 🍽️Restaurants (10, including 3 from our local guide) 🍸Cocktail bars (2) 🏨Lodging Recs (3 different price points) 💰Trip Cost Breakdown Psst: I'm not Norweigan, nor do I live in Bergen. BUT, I scoured the internet, TikTok, Atlas Obscura, Viator, ChatGPT, brochures, etc. to thoroughly plan this trip, not to mention asked our local Fjord tour guide for his personal recs. I've done (nearly) everything suggested on this itinerary for Days 1-3. Days 4-6 are suggestions based on my research/time I wish I had! *Some day trip suggestions may require a car. 🌱I travel with sustainability in mind. Bergen (and Norway) is a super green destination! You can do electric, zero emissions Fjord cruises (see my tour rec!), there are electric city buses, most cars are electric, and there’s simple transport by tram from the airport into the city. Norway’s incredible nature is one of the main draws, with lots of low-carbon activities to do like hiking and kayaking. Plus, the beauty of the majestic Fjords will blow you away and remind you how incredible our planet is 💚 This trip was planned for a group of 4 friends (2 couples) traveling together, without a car. Our intentions were to explore Bergen and the surrounding areas, spend time visiting with each other, and not break the bank (while not foregoing iconic experiences).

Out of all the places I adore in France, Nice and its surrounding areas truly has my heart. This is where I dream of retiring. You're still very much in France - BUT: The people are noticeably friendlier than in Paris (no shade to Parisians, I love them too), the weather is delightful, the beaches are gorgeous, and the food has a lighter, Mediterranean flair (as opposed to the heavy dairy-based recipes typical in much of France). If 6 days sounds like a lot to you, never fear: This itinerary uses Nice as a home base and includes many day-trip options. Guide includes: 📍 High Level Plan ✨ General Tips 🍅 7 Food & Drinks Not to Miss 🧼 7 Souvenir or Gift Ideas 🍴 10 restaurant/bar recs in Nice (5 cheaper, 3 mid-range, 2 higher end) 🗒️ 6-day Itinerary: 3 days in Nice (including arrival & departure days, and 1 full-day in Nice with two morning options & 2 afternoon options), and 3 days for half-day trips, full-day trips, or a free day* 🗺️ 7 additional options for your half or full-day trips from Nice or for your free day 💚 Pro Tips *I suggest 1 full-day trip, 1 day split between 2 half-day trips, and 1 day of free time. These do not overlap with the 7 additional options for half and full-day trips, You also get: ✍️ My personal notes for each recommendation 📍 An interactive map of all recommendations 🔓 Access to all future updates (I love Nice and keep going back) 🎞️ Linked videos (where applicable) that bring recommendations and advice to life 💙 If you love this guide, I would really appreciate it if you shared it with a friend, left a great review, or contributed a tip.

Marseille is a major port town on France's southwestern coast. It's a unique French city that has a vibe all of its own… You might not really feel like you’re in France! Marseille has been heavily influenced by immigration from Northern Africa & Italy, resulting in a rich and colorful diversity. Vibrant street art, lots of interesting food, and a little bit of a gritty feel will be the backdrop to your stay here. Marseille is frequently used by visitors as a home base to hike, enjoy the water, and explore the surrounding towns and natural areas. I have visited Marseille three times and love this city! This guide includes: 6 general recommendations, including advice on where to stay and things to eat 6 things to do 5 restaurants 4 pizza places 4+ laptop-friendly cafes 3+ bars 4 day trips 3 Calanques recommendations 4-day relaxed itinerary 2-day compact itinerary You also get: ✍️ My personal notes for each recommendation 📍 An interactive map of all recommendations 🔓 Access to all future updates 🎞️ Linked videos (where applicable) that bring recommendations and advice to life 💙I'd be so grateful if you shared this guide with a friend, left a review, or contributed a small tip. 🙏🏼

This is a 1-day itinerary for Guadalajara city center. We were based here for a few nights and also saw the Tequila Route and Tlaquepaque (these are not included on this itinerary). I was traveling with parents, one of whom has limited mobility. As such, they took DiDi (an Uber competitor) rides between places. These cost about $3 per ride, so very affordable! However, I walked everything except the initial DiDi from the Hotel to the farthest site (Casa ITESO), and it was completely manageable in a day, in this order.

Paris had almost 200 covered passageways ("les passages couverts" or "les galeries") in the 1800's. Today, 25 such passageways remain, mostly on the Right Bank, and this map guide includes the most well-known of these (not all 25). Covered passageways are icons of Paris, home to beautiful shops, captivating architecture, and tucked-away cafes. Wonderful to seek out on a rainy day, or to pop into and walk through if you're nearby on your Paris wanderings!

A curated list of all my actual favorites - NOT every single street food place in Paris and certainly not every single one I've ever tried. By 'street food' I mean generally cheap (<13 EUR, with a few exceptions) grab-and-go options, where there is little-to-no sitting area; oftentimes it's just a walkup window. Eating in public - like while you walk - is actually not very common in Paris. If you get street food, I recommend finding a nearby park or garden to sit in and enjoy it while you peoplewatch. Guide includes: 7 Sandwich & Burger places 2 French places 5 Kebab, Wrap, Falafel places 2 Place I want to try You also get: ✍️ My personal notes for each recommendation 📍 An interactive map of all recommendations 🔓 Access to all future updates (I'm always trying new places) All but two suggestions on this guide are on the Right Bank.

Paris is a major global city, meaning incredible food from under-represented cuisines is at your fingertips. I have made a point to try restaurants from under-represented cuisines, and these ones are SO GOOD! It's not hard to find incredible French restaurants, authentic Italian restaurants, and even a plethora of mouth-watering Asian restaurants. However... this guide is different.
