Results for Southern Europe
While this is still a largely undiscovered part of the world by most foreigners, it's widely known as a culinary mecca for everyone with an interest in food and food culture. Basque cuisine is renowned worldwide for being some of the most visionary and avant-garde in the industry, and food as a whole is an extremely important part of Basque culture.
There's so much more to do in the Basque Country than just enjoying the food though! The entire region is truly a gift to the planet in terms of natural beauty, being nestled between mountains and the sea. Basques have been fishers and mountain climbers, sailing the seas and scaling mountains, while also developing some of the strongest industry in Southern Europe.
Here's a guide to some of the absolutely crucial visits you *must* make while you're in the area, whether you're based in Bilbao or San Sebastián (referred to as "Donosti" by Basques, a shortened form of its Basque name Donostia), though I prefer Bilbao because I'm biased. 😜
This guide encompasses everything from landmarks to towns and even a few restaurants, perfect for when you're considering whether to check out this beautiful and charming region.
I focus on the Spanish Basque Country as it's what I'm most familiar with, but recommendations for the French Basque Country (known as the "Iparralde" or "north country" in Basque) will come soon!

Did you know that Albania has some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe? Stretching down the southern coastline on the Ionian Sea, the Albanian Riviera is an adventurers dream where high mountains drastically drop to glistening turquoise pebble beaches.
This is the route I took on my Hot Mermaid Summer Solo Backpacking trip in 2022.
A hidden gym, Albania offers affordable options for solo travelers and is the perfect place to go before the rest of the world discovers its beauty!
I found Albanian culture to be fascinating due to its complex history including isolation and dictatorships. There is a lot to learn about this rather less traveled country. Albania should definitely not be over looked when planning your European summer vacation.

Located in the mid-west of the country, Sibiu is in Transylvania with a view of the magnificent Southern Carpathian Mountains. The town has a strong Germanic influence and a romantic Old Europe charm.
It is tourist friendly. You'll hear a blend of Romanian, German, Hungarian, and English being spoken around the city. Great for a day trip as you explore Romania, a long weekend visit, or stay a few days more!

My fiancée excitedly asked if we could take a day trip to Sweden when we were in Copenhagen. I rolled my eyes thinking: what is there in Malmö that is so worth sacrificing a day in one of Europe's most incredible cities? But alas, happy wife happy life: we visited Sweden.
During our visit I was incredibly surprised at the breadth of activities and experiences to be had in Southern Sweden's Skåne region. Despite being culturally similar to Denmark, it really does feel like a different country: more modern, more ethnic diversity, more Dutch renaissance style architecture, even more coffee and pastries (fika is a Swedish concept after all!). If you are taking a weeklong trip to Copenhagen, spending a day in Sweden is a great way to experience something a bit out of the way and even less touristy.
This guide focuses on three great places to visit in Skåne: Lund, Malmö, and Helsingborg. You could easily combine two of these into one day trip, especially if you are looking for a full day of activities. I've also included a hotel recommendation in each city, just in case you want to extend your Swedish sojourn!

After immersing myself in this port city on the Río de la Plata, affectionately known as "BA" by locals, I crafted this guide for a friend with food, culture, and outdoor enthusiasts in mind.
Buenos Aires is a very walkable, though sprawling, European-feeling South American city made up of many distinct neighborhoods. Among them: trendy Palermo, Parisian-like Recoleta, Spanish Plaza de Mayo, bohemian San Telmo, vibrant Boca recalls Southern Italy. Italian, Spanish, and French heritage is tasted in its love for pizza, cheese, bread, meat, wine, and coffee.
The guide includes both affordable and world-class restaurants and hotels, but mostly, find luxury in slow travel where you truly get to know the culture.
Virtual explorers and trip planners alike, explore Buenos Aires with this interactive guide. Check out what to SEE + DO, where to EAT + DRINK, places to STAY + REST, and ways to COME + GO around Argentina's largest city.
In addition to cultural immersion, this comprehensive guide provides:
1. Interactive map
2. Portable, mobile-first format
3. "Remixable" make-your-own itinerary
4. "Living" guide that receives updates
This guide is intended for you to make your own. Explore at your own pace within your available timeframe. Visit all of the sites or just those that call to you. Skip around or simply glance on the way to your next meal.
As a travel expert and creative, I built AMG Inspired to design quality architecture and support sustainable tourism, defined as “tourism that respects both local people and the traveler, cultural heritage and the environment.”

Active volcanoes. Dancing northern lights. Gushing geysers. Massive glaciers. Thermal hot springs. Thundering waterfalls. Iceland is the ultimate adventure destination. How have you not been here yet? It’s finally time. Start in the northernmost capital in the world. Reykjavik is a hip, modern city. Then start exploring the wild coastline, the sheep-filled countryside, the icy interior, and the peaceful islands. There are plenty of black-sand beaches, small fishing villages, turf-roofed houses, and epic hikes along the way. Just remember to pack layers. Sometimes, the Gulf Stream provides moderate temperatures. Other times, it’ll feel like you’re in the Arctic. Also don’t forget the long, dark winters and the 24-hour daylight during the short summers. If you take advantage of Icelandair’s free stopover program—a great excuse to visit Helsinki, Copenhagen, and even Paris—you can keep returning to discover which season you like best.
This detailed guide includes:
Places: regions, cities, islands, peninsulas, towns, neighborhoods
Stay: hotels
Eat: bakeries, cafés, coffee shops, food carts & trucks, food halls, ice cream, Michelin stars, pizzerias, restaurants, soup
Drink: beer bars, breweries, cocktail bars, wine bars
Shop: beauty products, bookstores, Christmas stores, chocolate shops, clothing boutiques, flea markets, knitwear, outdoor wear, record stores, vintage clothing, wool products
Do: art museums, bays, beaches, bridges, caves, churches, concert venues, cultural centers, fjords, geothermal areas, geysers, harbors, hikes, history museums, horseback riding, hot springs, lagoons, lakes, lighthouses, memorials, mountains, national forests, national parks, natural wonders, nature reserves, parks, peace stones, ponds, roads, rock formations, rocks, rootless cones, scenic drives, sculptures, shipwrecks, sports venues, squares, streets, swimming pools, thermal baths, tunnels, valleys, viewpoints, volcanoes, walks, waterfalls
Transportation: airports, bus terminals, car rentals, ferries, parking lots, transfers
Note: I travel to Iceland frequently, so this guide is updated often.
