Maelys' Travels

Besançon, France

Hi, I'm Maëlys and I've always had a passion for travel. From a very young age, I've been immersed in the world of travel. Following my studies in the tourism sector and my ever-increasing desire to leave home, I decided to take the plunge into the unknown in 2022. I set off with my rucksack to Central America, with nothing planned and travelling solely by public transport. All in all, 8 months of travelling, 6 countries crossed, a few voluntary jobs and a lot of memories. Since then, I've also visited some of Europe's capital cities and I don't intend to stop there. The words that define me: are spontaneous, adventurous, thirsty for discovery, enthusiastic and always on the go. Travelling is a passion that allows me to discover the beauty of the whole world and the different cultures that inhabit it, as well as meet incredible people along the way. The idea for this blog and travel planner was born during my travels. I noticed that on the one hand, I had a lot of questions about trave

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!
