Welcome to my travel shop. 👋🏻 I'm Lena, originally from Germany but have called California, Mallorca (Spain), and Chile temporary homes over the years. When I don't travel, I like to spend my time with landscape photography, digital product design, baking, and drinking overpriced coffee. My goal here on Thatch is to offer you more than travel guidance. I'm dedicated to bringing value to your future trips by sharing my carefully curated itineraries, expert tips, and, most importantly, the priceless locals' perspective. Why should you work with me? Because I've lived it. I've walked the cobblestone streets of Valldemossa, Spain, set out to find the best cardamom bun in Copenhagen, and hiked the W-Trek in Torres del Paine, Patagonia. Because I've made mistakes, taken detours, and found hidden gems. I've learned from every step of my journey, and I'm here to share those lessons with you. Love, Lena P.S.

2024 European Summer City-Break | 10 Best Cities to Visit this Summer

If you're looking for a city escape to live your European Summer dream, you've come to the right place! This is my 100% honest opinion of my 10 favorite European cities to visit in Summer. I see lots and lots of guides out there suggesting Paris (hello, has someone heard of the Olympic Games taking place?), Madrid (if you love 45° weather I guess) or Lisbon (great choice if you want to be 1 or 100 000 tourists). While these are all great destinations year-round, I don't think Summer is the right season to visit them. Personally, I'd go there in Spring or Autumn, not during the high season. Full disclosure, this is a no Greece, no Italy guide. You'll only find cities that I love, and I think are worth going to discover if you're looking for a short city-escape this Summer. What will you find in this guide? 📅 Recommended trip duration ☀️ Weather info 💰 Cost, $, $$ or $$$ 👉 Top 3 Activities in each city ⛰️ Top 3 Day-trip from each city 😴 $, $$, and $$$ accommodation options Which cities are you going to discover? 1. Kraków, Poland 🇵🇱 2. London, UK 🇬🇧 3. Prague, Czech Republic (Czechia) 🇨🇿 4. Lyon, France 🇫🇷 5. San Sebastián, Spain 🇪🇸 6. Budapest, Hungary 🇭🇺 7. Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹 8. Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪 9. Tallinn, Estonia 🇪🇪 10. Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 PS: Don't forget to click on each destination to get my personal insights on each city! But, if you really don't care about my life, which I understand, we don't know each other, you can skip ahead.
