Greece, my favorite European country! The Greek mainland is by far my favorite part of Greece. It is less crowded and a lot cheaper than the famous islands. You can still find many authentic villages and incredible beaches. You can find the most relevant archeological sites here and breathtaking monasteries. It is the best region to go hiking and explore the many waterfalls. We always rent a car and go on a road trip through the vineyards and olive and peach trees. Here’s my Northern Greece Travel Guide including what you can’t miss when you go there and where to eat and stay.

Complete guide with attractions and venues where to eat/drink, get those very special souvenirs from (bespoke & local brands and markets) and catch a beautiful sight…or just your breath after walking up and down the hills of this marvellous city. Lisbon is all about art, colors, architecture and GOOD vibes! 🇵🇹💚
💡General tip: combine Lisbon with visits/stays in Sintra and Porto.
Highlights:
🚋 Trams - The Lisbon tramway network is a system of trams in operation since 1873; it presently comprises six lines and has a length of 31 km with 63 trams in operation (45 historic "Remodelados", 8 historic "Ligeiros" and 10 modern articulated trams). Tram 28 is famous because happens to go past many of the city's most significant landmarks in districts like Alfama, Baixa and Estrela. Because the route also uses some heritage-style tram carriages, it has become a popular tourist attraction in the city.
💠 Azulejos - is a form of Spanish and Portuguese painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework. Azulejos happen to be one of the most distinctive art forms in Portugal and are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses, schools, and nowadays, restaurants, bars and even railways or subway stations.
🧼 Soaps - Oprah Winfrey said they're one of her favorite things, so the world is now also a fan of Portuguese soaps. But they're not recent products. They've been made since the 1800s and are 100% natural. They've maintained beautiful Art Deco and Art Nouveau packagings from the 1920s, and have become one of the favorite gifts to take from Portugal.
🥮 Pastel de nata - is a Portuguese egg custard tart pastry, optionally dusted with cinnamon - looks like a cross between a custard tart and a cake; created by monks in the Jerónimos Monastery, a major tourist attraction today and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
🍲You also have to try these traditional dishes: Bifana, Sardines, Caracoletas & Prego na Pao, Alheira de Mirandela, Queijadas.
🧉Ginja - also known as ginjinha. This sour cherry liqueur is a tourist favorite but has sweetened locals’ palates for a long time too. There are establishments in Lisbon entirely dedicated to selling this sweet beverage made with Morello cherries, a variety of spices, and plenty of sugar. Nowadays, ginja is also served in edible chocolate cups. While you may choose among white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate, dark chocolate does indeed pair beautifully with the super sweet, almost syrupy drink.

1. Jeronimos Monastery
Cost: €12 for adults, free for children under 12, €6 for seniors (65+), and €6 for students; or free with the Lisboa Card.
Highlights:
Jeronimos Monastery, also known as Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, is a stunning example of Manueline architecture, a Portuguese style that combines Gothic and Renaissance elements with maritime motifs. Commissioned by King Manuel I in the early 16th century, the monastery was built to commemorate Vasco da Gama's successful voyage to India and to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for his safe return.
The monastery's architecture is simply spectacular. The intricate stone carvings adorning the façade showcase the wealth and artistry of Portugal's Age of Discovery. Detailed motifs, such as twisted ropes, sea creatures, and botanical elements, reflect the country's seafaring history and the natural world. And inside, visitors can marvel at the beautiful cloisters, considered some of the most magnificent in the world.
Tips:
- With so much to see, make sure to plan to spend at least a couple of hours exploring the monastery and its grounds.
- After your visit, take some time to check out from Pastéis de Belém, which has been serving their famous custard tarts since 1837. It's just a short walk from the monastery and is a must-try treat while in Lisbon.
Best Time to Go: The lines can get very long, so make sure to get there right when they open at 9:30 am.
2. Miradouro de Santa Luzia
Cost: Free
Highlights: This miradouro (viewpoint) offers one of the best views in Lisbon, as it provides a panoramic look at the Alfama district and the Tagus River. The tiled mosaics and beautiful gardens add to its charm, making it the perfect spot to catch a sunset.
Best Time to Go: We recommend going at sunset. The views at sunset are especially breathtaking at that time and the lighting is perfect for photos.
3. Carmo Convent
Cost: €7 for adults, €5 for children, students, & seniors.
Highlights: The Carmo Convent, a stunning example of Gothic architecture, stands as a significant reminder of Lisbon's past. Partially destroyed by the devastating earthquake of 1755, the convent's roofless nave creates a beautiful open-air space. Today, it houses the Carmo Archaeological Museum, where visitors can explore a fascinating collection of artifacts, including prehistoric relics, medieval tombs, and ancient sculptures.
Best Time to Go: The Carmo Convent tends to get crowded in the afternoon, so we recommend getting there when it opens at 10 am.
4. Praça do Comércio
Cost: Free
Highlights: One of the largest squares in Europe, Praça do Comércio is bordered by impressive yellow buildings and the Tagus River. It's a vibrant hub of activity with restaurants, cafes, and the iconic Rua Augusta Arch.
Best Times to Go: We recommend going in the early evening to catch the sunset. The square is also beautifully lit at night, perfect for a leisurely stroll after dinner.
5. Lisbon Cathedral
Cost: €5 for adults, €3 for children
Highlights: The oldest church in Lisbon, the Lisbon Cathedral features a mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque architectural styles. Highlights include the impressive rose window, the Gothic cloister, and the treasury with its collection of sacred art.
Best Time to Go: To avoid the crowds, we recommend going in the early morning or late afternoon.

Montenegro is probably the MOST underrated European country. Located in the Balkans by the Adriatic sea, most people would choose Croatia or Greece over Montenegro.
Why pick Montenegro instead? Because it's way less touristic and cheaper than its neighbors. And despite its small size, it has it all! From picturesque coastlines with centuries old towns to Alpine mountains and waterlily filled lakes, Montenegro doesn't disappoint.
And because of its small size, it's possible to see its highlights in 7 days, from North to South.
This guide is best suited for road trip enthusiasts and avid travelers who want to see as much as possible in a limited time and on a budget. There is little time for relaxation, expect to be exploring and driving every day (on average 3 hours per day), but it will be absolutely worth it!
For convenience reasons, this itinerary starts and ends in Dubrovnik, Croatia, right at the border with Montenegro.
This guide includes a detailed 7 days itinerary based on my own road trip done in 2021, with cheap accommodation recommandations, places to eat, activities, sight suggestions and even hidden gems! Everything you need in one place, so you can focus on enjoying your trip!

Montenegro is a picturesque hidden gem. The Bay of Kotor, just off the Adriatic Sea, is surrounded by beautiful mountains with historic towns dotted along the coastline. Exploring The Bay of Kotor and towns along the Adriatic Coast will give you the fullest Montenegrin experience.
We heard Montenegro was a great place to sit out on a tourist visa from the Schengen Region, but didn't know what to expect. We took the leap, booked a 2.5 month trip, and found ourselves enchanted by the country. From tranquil charm to picturesque old towns, sun-kissed beaches, and majestic mountains, Montenegro has all the ingredients for an idyllic getaway—it exceeded our wildest dreams.
In this extensive, jam-packed guide we cover:
🚘 Logistical travel information
🗺️ 3 towns to visit
🗓️ Sample routing (how many days to spend in each place)
⏱️ The best times to visit
💬 Basic cultural information (language, currency, etc.)
🛏️ Where to stay
🤓 Historical information
🏰 Must-see sights & things to do
🍲 Dining recommendations
☕️ Coffee shops
🍻 Where to grab a drink
+ 3 ideas for day trips!
It's useful for all travelers, whether you're planning to visit Montenegro for a few nights or an extended period!
🌱 We found Montenegro to be moderately vegan/vegetarian friendly.
🐾 Montenegro is very dog-friendly. In this guide, we share more information about requirements for entry to Montenegro with a canine, as well as pet-friendly places to make your trip a paw-some success!
🏳️🌈 Montenegro is moderately LGBTQ+ friendly. It is more progressive than other countries in the region, but we did not see any signs of visible LGBTQ+ presence, such as pride flags, gay bars, or open displays of affection. More on this in the guide.
‼️ If you're looking for more detailed information regarding places to spend time outside the Schengen Region or long-term travel to Montenegro, feel free to reach out or set up a consultation call.
