New York

By far the most famous tenement museum is located in New York City’s Lower East Side. The area was home to immigrants from various countries, many willing to do whatever it took to remain in the United States, even live in deplorable conditions. The museum includes guided tours of apartments inside two of the historic buildings, as well as walking tours around the neighborhood, telling the stories of the generations of migrants who lived in the city in previous generations.

Dublin, Ireland

14 Henrietta Street in Dublin’s North Side is the historical home of Dublin’s Tenement museum. The building is a Georgian townhouse that’s remained intact since its construction as homes for the wealth in the mid-18th century and became tenements in the early 20th century. A ticket includes a tour of the building that includes the stories of the 100 people who called 14 Henrietta Street home.

Shakespeare & Company bookstore and café

Located at 37 Rue de la Bûcherie and filled to the brim with literary classics as well as a variety of newly published books, this bookstore is an absolute must-see for every book lover. The trademark dark green exterior is hard to miss, and the cozy interior invites you to spend hours casually browsing books, with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea in hand. 

Le Petit Moulin

This little cafe is located in Montmartre, very close to the famous Moulin Rouge, but what makes this place particularly charming is the fact that it was used as the set of the movie Amelie. For fans of the movie, being here can be a surreal experience, but even for casual visitors, it is a great space to rest after hours of walking and sightseeing.

The Wall of love

This giant wall, composed of blue enameled lava tiles on which the phrase “I love you” is written 311 times in 250 languages, is a little harder to locate, but if you step into the Jehan Rictus garden square in Montmartre, you’ll be sure to find it. The mural was created in 2000 by the French artist Fédéric Baron, and it is the perfect spot for picture-taking, especially if you’re visiting it with your loved one.

It’s important to be comfortable even when the mercury climbs. So, here are four tips that will help you stay cool while exploring cities this summer!

Wear Light Fabrics

“Light” in this case refers to two things: both the weight and the color of the fabric. 

Avoid dark colors and heavy fabrics like wool in order to keep your body cool in the summertime.

Drink Lots of Water

Water is your best ally against overheating. Keep a liter or so of cold water in a temperature-resistant thermos and carry it with you, being sure to drink regularly!

Seek Out Spots with Air Conditioning

Instead of roasting outside all day, it’s nice to get a break inside an air-conditioned space at times. Grab a quick lunch or snack in a place with air conditioning in order to cool off.

Free Your Feet

It’s amazing how much wearing socks can make you feel hotter. Wearing sandals helps you feel much more fresh and cool during hot weather travel!

Siobhan Ferguson, the founder of the Pretty Cities brand, curates this account which showcases different Instagrammers’ shots of cities around the world. Instead of just reflecting one person’s experiences in a limited group of cities, it instead draws photos and inspiration from a big community of travel bloggers and amateur photographers.

The Pretty Cities provides snapshots of a wide range of cities, from large, internationally-known capitals to smaller and more unknown cities that have a charm that many haven’t experienced.

Urbanism is enough to excite any city lover, and the harmonious blend between shops, pedestrians, commuters, and tourists define the environment of any city that experiences tourism. The Pretty Cities puts the focus on places where this blend has been achieved.

In short, if you love cities and want to find ideas for your next destination, I cannot recommend this account enough!

Fast-forward to three months in the future, when you’re about to board your flight. What if you realized that you never did any research about the city you visited. Is this going to be a wasted vacation?!

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be. Nearly all cities with any type of tourist tradition offer tours of their historic centers and their most important sights for visitors to see.

They are the answer to the millennials’ problem of affordable travel that was nearly impossible for those not interested to stay in hostels and share rooms with as many as a dozen other people.

One such hotel is Arlo NoMad, located in NYC. There are similar ones around the world, including One Bunk in Tijuana, Mexico and The Modernist in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Small rooms and spacious common areas prove to be the winning formula for many young travelers today, so it’s no surprise that hotels like this keep appearing all around the world.

A lot of people go to New York to see the touristic sites, but little people put together that famous Coney Island is actually a beach in Brooklyn! It’s so easy to get out there with the subway, and especially in the summer when the city is so humid, it’s nice to have a break at the beach.
