Lisbon is a total gem of a city where traditional heritage meets modern vibrancy, and this is nowhere more evident than in its food and culture scene. The city is a bustling metropolis that offers a unique blend of the old-world charm with contemporary flair, making it a must-visit destination for culture enthusiasts and foodies alike.
Lisbon's culinary scene is a reflection of Portugal's rich maritime history, with an emphasis on fresh seafood. Cod (bacalhau) dishes are ubiquitous, served in various forms such as "Bacalhau à Brás" (shredded cod with onions, potatoes, and eggs). Sardines, especially grilled sardines (sardinhas assadas), are another staple during the summer months. But Lisbon's food scene isn't limited to seafood; "Alheira," a type of sausage made from meats other than pork, and "Bifana," a traditional pork sandwich, are also popular among locals and tourists.
Pastries and sweets hold a special place in Lisbon's culinary landscape, with "Pastéis de Nata" (custard tarts) leading the charge. These creamy, flaky pastries originated in the city's Belém district and are a must-try for anyone visiting Lisbon. The city's coffee culture is equally noteworthy, with cafes and pastelarias dotting every corner, inviting visitors to indulge in a leisurely "bica" (espresso) paired with a pastry.
Lisbon's culture is as diverse as its culinary offerings. The city is renowned for Fado music, a soul-stirring genre characterized by its melancholic tunes and lyrics that reflect the Portuguese concept of "saudade," or longing. Visitors can experience live Fado performances in various "casas de Fado" throughout neighborhoods like Alfama and Mouraria, offering an intimate glimpse into Portugal's soul.
Art and history are woven into the fabric of the city, with numerous museums and galleries showcasing everything from contemporary art to artifacts that trace Portugal's maritime exploits. The LX Factory, a former industrial complex turned cultural hub, epitomizes Lisbon's blend of historical roots with modern creativity, hosting art studios, bookshops, eclectic boutiques, and thematic restaurants.
The city's architecture is another highlight, with the Pombaline downtown area (Baixa) offering a grid-like layout unique to Europe, majestic plazas like Praça do Comércio, and iconic monuments such as the Belém Tower and Jerónimos Monastery. The juxtaposition of traditional azulejos (ceramic tiles) adorning buildings with street art and murals in districts like Bairro Alto and Graça adds to the city's vibrant aesthetic.
Lisbon is a city that delights the senses and stirs the soul, offering a rich tapestry of food and culture that seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. Whether it's in the simple pleasure of a Pastel de Nata, the haunting melodies of Fado, or the intricate beauty of azulejos, Lisbon invites exploration and promises unforgettable experiences.

Young children and museums don’t usually mix well, but maybe you just haven’t been to the right ones! Berlin has some fantastic modern museums that are great for kids, offering hands-on experiments, exciting workshops and guided tours, all aimed at twerking your children’s interest and keeping them entertained.

But think again, this city is full of green spaces, parks and playgrounds which kids of all ages will love, as well as the largest zoo in Europe! So why not rent a bicycle or take a river cruise to explore?
So without further ado, let’s look at the best things to do with in Berlin with kids.

Where else but in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea might you find such a little, gorgeous island? Malta is a lovely place to go for a summer beach holiday, however… the islands of Malta have a rich history that has yet to be explored. Will a week be sufficient? Due to its compact size, Malta allows visitors to maximize their sightseeing potential.
This Itinerary is based on my explorations and carefully chosen places based on the best reviews, and my experience for an amazing road trip in Malta in the offseason.
There are three islands to choose from, but You will only have time to explore two of them—Malta and Gozo—in just seven days. If You go in the off-season, however, You may also have time to visit Comino. Don’t waste Your money and time staying in different places if you’re traveling just for a week, do it only if it’s Your comfy home on wheels and you’re staying there.
To give you an idea of how effective this can be, consider the following: two nights at one hotel on the island of Gozo, remaining nights in one hotel on the Maltese mainland, and one day of exploration in Comino without lodging.
If you’re flying and hiring a car at the airport, Gozo as a first destination will be more convenient, but for the following days, explore Malta’s mainland. The streets are mostly tiny in Malta so be prepared for that.

Oh, Berlin! From clothes to objects and furniture, to music, jewelry and kitchenware. On IG you can take a look at the treasures I found until now under the account @vintage.walks .
You can dive deep into the 20s, the 60s or the 80s, find something incredible or simply marvel at the city from another perspective, a city that had such a wild history, now showing its layers through its fantastic boutiques.
In almost each neighborhood, I have included a few coffee shops and restaurants where you can take a relaxing break or have dinner and immediately feel as if you're transported back in time to a marvelous and elegant time, but also chic and daring and even famously trashy at times. It's a wild mix, you'll love it!

This is a guide for Athens and Alimos Greece. If you are not familiar with Alimos (I wasn't either), it is a seaside town on the coast and is very close to Athens. It makes for a great city break from the heat of Athens. If you are heading to the Greek Islands for the summer it's very likely you'll pass through Athens. There is a wealth of things to do here. We've been a few times now and I still have things on my list that I'd like to see and do in future trips.
This guide will cover all of the things that I have personally done, seen, and eaten in Athens. *Including a mini street food our that we personally created and did! It will also cover things I have researched that sound amazing and that I wish to do on future trips.
Why Athens?
Personally I find Athens to be an incredible city. Not everyone wants to spend time in Athens, but we really enjoyed Athens and found it had a lot to offer. There are lots of great things to do and see here and so much history. We have visited twice so this guide for Athens will include quite a bit. You can pick and choose what you would find most enjoyable for a day or two here at the beginning and possibly also the end of your trip.
I am going to divide this Athens portion into 2 sections. The first will be for more of the heart of Athens and first timers or people who love all of the main and major things in the city. We also created our own mini street food tour here and that is included as well.
The second section is with a base in Alimos. This is likely for people who have already been to Athens and have seen all of the history and main sites. Or for people who just don't care and would rather beach and chill during their day or two in Athens.

Egypt & Jordan - considered two unbelievable wonders of the world - provide thousands of years of history.
This 14-day itinerary has been put together based on a group trip I led for clients back in 2022. It was my 2nd time to Egypt and my first-time to Jordan - both countries should definitely be visited.
The itinerary is set-up in a way that you could separate out each country if your schedule only allows for minimal travel days. So in essence, you get 2 country itineraries for the price of 1!
Throughout you will experience a dramatic world beyond what you can think, as you enter into two countries filled with legends, history, and indescribable natural beauty.
The itinerary includes a visit to the famous Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx and includes a 4-night Nile River Cruise.
In Jordan, you will visit Petra, the “Rose Red City” that appears as if it emerged straight from the rock bed. Admire the ethereal landscape of the desert city of Wadi Rum, the “Valley of the Moon.” And, indulge at a deluxe spa resort on the Northern shore of the Dead Sea.
We have also added in some key tours, unique experiences and the opporutinity to delve into the culture and flavours of these lands. Hundreds of thousands of years of history and iconic wonders, delicious cuisine, and stretching sunsets fading against the desert horizon – this is Egypt and Jordan.
Note, throughout the itinerary we have listed options available for tours or additional stays to extend your trip and encourage a greater experience and immersion into the countries.
