]]> Copenhagen, Denmark, is a city that will charm you with its famous castles, gardens and parks, monuments, art, and much more. But don’t be surprised if you have to wait in lines and deal with a bunch of tourists to see it all. If you want to take a more relaxed option and still have the best time in Copenhagen, consider doing these non-touristy things.

Enjoy Art at Cisterns in Søndermarken

Those who want to experience art in a completely different way should head to Cisterns in Søndermarken. This is an underground art gallery situated in the city’s defunct subterranean water reservoir. The place organizes rotating exhibitions including a special annual event in which international and local artists gather to create site-specific artworks.

Ski at the CopenHill

You can ski in Copenhagen even if there is no snow. The city’s artificial ski resort CopenHill, built on top of a power plant, is open all year round and offers a similar experience to real ski resorts except the snow is swapped for a slippery artificial surface. Tourists rarely bother to check out this experience but locals definitely enjoy it.

Bike Along The Harbour Circle

The Harbour Circle is an eight-mile-long trail and cycling path situated on the city’s waterside that offers amazing views along the way. While you can opt to check it out by walking, a better option is taking a page from the locals’ book and using a bike.

Relax at the Dyrehaven

Dyrehaven, which translates to Deer Park, is a nature resort that is bellowed by locals who visit it for relaxing walks, picnics, and various outdoor events. If you are lucky, you can even get close to one of the 2,100 friendly deer that call the resort their home.

]]> Europe’s most popular travel destinations like Paris, France, and Rome, Italy, are definitely worth experiencing. However, they also come with their fair share of downsides including high travel costs and large crowds that are taking away from the authentic experience. Luckily, there are plenty of alternatives to Europe’s most popular travel destinations that will provide you with just an amazing experience, but at a lesser cost and in a much more relaxed environment.

UK: Manchester Instead of London

London is the UK’s biggest city and its cultural and administrative center. However, it is also expensive and packed with visitors all year long. Manchester, on the other hand, is also a big city but one that feels a lot more authentic. You will be able to get a real feel of British culture while also enjoying its vibrant and dynamic and plenty of awe-inducing attractions.

France: Lyon Instead of Paris

Lyon is also quite popular among tourists, but you won’t feel that as much as in Paris. While in Paris everything seems courted to foreign visitors, Lyon actually does a great job of allowing visitors to get immersed in its everyday life. You’ll get all the breathtaking architecture, great wines, and delicious food but in a much more laid-back and budget-friendly environment.

Italy: Verona Instead of Rome

Verona is often overlooked by tourists in favor of cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. However, it represents a great budget-friendly and less touristy alternative to Rome. It has its own Roman amphitheater, albeit a lot smaller than Colossuem but one that is still in use today, with plenty of beautiful piazzas and charming streets, and its fair share of archeological ruins. On top of that, it is the city where the story of Romeo and Juliet takes place.

Spain: Valencia Instead of Barcelona

Valencia might not have Sagrada Familia or Montjuïc, but it offers plenty of the same things as Barcelona for a fraction of the cost. It is also situated on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, has breathtaking examples of Baroque and Gothic architecture, offers plenty to explore for arts and science enthusiasts, and has just as amazing food.

]]> Visiting the Colosseum should be at the top of anyone’s must-see tourist attractions in Rome, Italy. Seeing this ancient Roman amphitheater and walking the site where gladiators fought is a truly unforgettable experience. However, if you want to have the best time visiting the Colosseum, there are some tips you should follow.

Get Your Tickets Ahead of Time

Tickets are no longer sold at the Colosseum site. Instead, you need to book them online through the official website or with approved vendors. It is advisable to get them well ahead of time, since the most popular time slots are quickly sold out, especially during the peak season.

Set Aside the Entire Day

When you book a ticket to the Colosseum, you will also get access to the surrounding grounds of Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. It is a massive ground to cover and rushing it will take away from the experience. Instead, set aside the entire day so you can properly enjoy the visit.

Visit in Late Fall or Early Spring

During the summer, the Colosseum is swarmed with tourists. You will constantly be surrounded by large crowds, will have a hard time getting to the best spots for taking photos, and the heat is almost unbearable. That’s why you should visit in late fall or early spring when the number of visitors drops and the temperatures get more comfortable.

Consider Full-Access Guided Tour

Getting a full-access guided tour might be pricey but it is well worth it. You will get to explore parts of the Colosseum that regular visitors can’t approach and learn more about the history of this amazing place as well as some interesting facts you probably didn’t know before.

]]> Berlin, Germany, offers plenty of tourist attractions and activities that will keep any visitor entertained no matter how long they stay in this storied city. But if you really want to have the best time in Berlin, you should also try to experience it through the eyes of the locals. Here is how to do it.

Explore Street and Flea Markets

Berlin is famous for its bustling street and flea markets. You’ll find them all across the town and each of them has its own appeal. Some focus on food and local produce, others on antique items and collectibles, and some offer amazing handcrafts and art. They are perfect places to learn more about the city’s culture, pick up some unique souvenirs, and mingle with the locals.

Party at an Underground Techno Club

Berlin offers some of the best nightlife in Europe and that is primarily thanks to its underground techno clubs. They are the gathering place for the locals who want to have a great time and dance to techno beats until the early morning. Some of the clubs are notoriously hard to get into, like the world-famous Berghain, but it is easy to find an alternative as there are so many of them.

Enjoy a Relaxing Day at Tempelhofer Feld

Tempelhofer Feld was once a parade ground and an airport that now serves as a public park. It is one of the favorite gathering places for the locals due to its large space and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. You can use the former airstrip to ride bikes or skateboards, have a picnic, or marvel at the public art and gardens. The park is also often the site for various cultural events and live performances.

]]> Visiting Rome, Italy requires more planning than just researching the best tourist attractions and booking a flight and accommodation. In order to really get the best experience, you have to choose the best time of the year that suits your needs. 

Best Weather: Summer Months

Do you want the best weather with plenty of sunshine and little to no rain? Then, head there during the summer months. It will be a perfect setting for exploring ruins and taking long walks around the city. However, know that this is the peak of the season and that you will have to deal with large crowds and expensive accommodation.

Best Prices: Late Fall and Winter

Want to have a budget trip to Rome? Then, head there in late fall or winter. This is when there are fewest tourists around, and prices of flights and accommodation are slashed. You can expect some rain and colder days, which will require warmer clothes, but the weather never gets too bad in Rome, and snow is extremely rare. But make sure to avoid Christmas and New Year, as the prices surged during this period.

Best of Everything: Early Spring

To get the best overall experience in Rome, book your trip for early spring. The prices are still affordable, tourists are just starting to flock to the city, and the temperatures are pleasant. You can use the sunny days for outdoor activities and find shelter in museums and churches when it’s raining outside. Keep in mind that you should avoid Easter, as the number of visitors to the city significantly spikes, along with the prices.

]]> Ever feel like you’ve seen all there is to see in Europe’s most buzzed-about cities? Well, think again. Europe’s got some under-the-radar spots that are just waiting to be explored. From the quiet streets of Ljubljana to the maritime vibes of Gdańsk, let’s take a less-traveled road to discover what these cities have to offer.

Ljubljana, Slovenia 

Ljubljana is compact and easy to explore on foot or by bike. Its picturesque Old Town with car-free streets is a great place to explore the beautiful architecture and cultural scene of the city. Make sure to check out the Ljubljana Castle the lush Tivoli Park!

@visitljubljana If you have ever been in Ljubljana, you know it's anything but "just a town"!❤ #visitljubljana #ljubljana #slovenia #ifeelsLOVEnia #tourist #traveltok @NikaKrmec ♬ Link in bio x – Dominic Wright

Gdańsk, Poland 

Gdańsk is a port city on the Baltic coast of Poland. It’s most famous for its beautifully restored Old Town and fascinating maritime history. The city played pivotal roles in the history of the 20th century, including World War II and the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, and is the perfect getaway for history lovers.

Valletta, Malta 

Valletta, the capital of Malta, is one of Europe’s smallest but most visually stunning cities. This UNESCO World Heritage site is packed with historic sites, from the opulent St. John’s Co-Cathedral to the ancient Fort St. Elmo. Valletta is a city made for walking and perfect for a leisurely vacation. 

@laurenmarietravels ✨Things to do in Valletta- Malta These are my top 3 things to do whilst in Valletta⤵ 1.St. John’s Co-Cathedral-The conventual church built by the Order of the Knights of St John was completed in 1577, soon after the Great Siege. Here you can see marble tombstones and monuments, historic artefacts and museum collections. 2.Upper Barrakka Gardens- beautiful garden with a panoramic view of the Grand Harbour. 3.Saluting Battery- The Saluting Battery is where a cannon once fired salutes to visiting naval vessels. If you time your visit right, you can watch one of the cannons be fired at 12noon or 4pm. This can also be viewed without going into the Saluting Battery from the balcony of the Upper Barrakka Gardens #valletta #malta #maltatiktok #travel #traveltiktok #travellife #traveltok #traveling #traveltips #travelbucketlist #explore #vacation ♬ Baiana – Barbatuques

]]> Grab your camera and get ready to walk in Shakespeare’s footsteps! Whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply curious about the legend behind the plays (and sonnets! Let us not forget), here are five must-visit spots where major parts of his life and work took place.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Kick off your journey at Shakespeare’s Birthplace in the heart of this charming town. Wander through the well-preserved Tudor home where the Bard was born and passed his childhood years. It’s history you can literally stand in.

Anne Hathaway’s Cottage

Next up, explore the idyllic cottage where Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway (not the actress), grew up. Set on 90 acres, this 12-room gem was restored by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust to its original glory and is now a museum. The surrounding gardens are perfect for a stroll back in time.

The Globe Theatre, London

Head to London’s Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare’s masterpieces dominated the stage in the late 1500s. The current building is in fact a recreation of the original playhouse, destroyed in 1644. It was then rebuilt with 16th-century techniques, restoring the magic of his plays (or at least, trying to).

Banqueting House, Whitehall

Visit Banqueting House, the last remnant of Whitehall Palace. Here, you can stand right where Shakespeare’s company performed for royalty. Imagine watching one of his iconic plays just like King James did in 1611.

Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon

End your journey back in Stratford-Upon-Avon at Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare is buried. Walk along the greenery-filled path to his grave, where a small donation lets you stand before the Bard’s final resting place. Make sure you don’t miss the curse inscribed on his tombstone.

]]> The UK has some amazing attractions to offer locals and visitors. There is stunning countryside, exciting cities, jaw-dropping coastline, and fascinating historical sites. There are also many sites that are incredibly significant within the world of literature. Whether it’s the home of a famous author or the setting of an iconic scene, there are plenty of intriguing literary-themed areas to explore. If you want to plan a tour of some of these areas, then here are a few to add to your list. 

Haworth, Yorkshire

This charming village in the picturesque county of Yorkshire was home to the Brontë sisters and was where they wrote many of their most beloved stories. The village itself is a beautiful spot to explore, with pretty cobbled streets, cute shops and cafes, and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. 

Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire

This ancient woodland is a wonderful place to explore. Its life as a forest began at the end of the last ice age, so its mystical winding paths have many tales to tell. This forest is also known as the home of the fictional character Robin Hood, and where many of his exciting adventures took place. 

Shakespeare’s Globe, London

This working theatre is an incredibly realistic reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre for which Shakespeare wrote his plays in the 1500s. It’s built in the same area as the original, on the south bank of the River Thames, and hosts many plays and performances.

Berlin is famous for its bustling street and flea markets. You’ll find them all across the town and each of them has its own appeal. Some focus on food and local produce, others on antique items and collectibles, and some offer amazing handcrafts and art. They are perfect places to learn more about the city’s culture, pick up some unique souvenirs, and mingle with the locals.

Party at an Underground Techno Club

Berlin offers some of the best nightlife in Europe and that is primarily thanks to its underground techno clubs. They are the gathering place for the locals who want to have a great time and dance to techno beats until the early morning. Some of the clubs are notoriously hard to get into, like the world-famous Berghain, but it is easy to find an alternative as there are so many of them.

Enjoy a Relaxing Day at Tempelhofer Feld

Tempelhofer Feld was once a parade ground and an airport that now serves as a public park. It is one of the favorite gathering places for the locals due to its large space and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. You can use the former airstrip to ride bikes or skateboards, have a picnic, or marvel at the public art and gardens. The park is also often the site for various cultural events and live performances.

]]> Visiting Rome, Italy requires more planning than just researching the best tourist attractions and booking a flight and accommodation. In order to really get the best experience, you have to choose the best time of the year that suits your needs. 

Best Weather: Summer Months

Do you want the best weather with plenty of sunshine and little to no rain? Then, head there during the summer months. It will be a perfect setting for exploring ruins and taking long walks around the city. However, know that this is the peak of the season and that you will have to deal with large crowds and expensive accommodation.

Best Prices: Late Fall and Winter

Want to have a budget trip to Rome? Then, head there in late fall or winter. This is when there are fewest tourists around, and prices of flights and accommodation are slashed. You can expect some rain and colder days, which will require warmer clothes, but the weather never gets too bad in Rome, and snow is extremely rare. But make sure to avoid Christmas and New Year, as the prices surged during this period.

Best of Everything: Early Spring

To get the best overall experience in Rome, book your trip for early spring. The prices are still affordable, tourists are just starting to flock to the city, and the temperatures are pleasant. You can use the sunny days for outdoor activities and find shelter in museums and churches when it’s raining outside. Keep in mind that you should avoid Easter, as the number of visitors to the city significantly spikes, along with the prices.

Valletta, Malta 

Valletta, the capital of Malta, is one of Europe’s smallest but most visually stunning cities. This UNESCO World Heritage site is packed with historic sites, from the opulent St. John’s Co-Cathedral to the ancient Fort St. Elmo. Valletta is a city made for walking and perfect for a leisurely vacation. 

@laurenmarietravels ✨Things to do in Valletta- Malta These are my top 3 things to do whilst in Valletta⤵ 1.St. John’s Co-Cathedral-The conventual church built by the Order of the Knights of St John was completed in 1577, soon after the Great Siege. Here you can see marble tombstones and monuments, historic artefacts and museum collections. 2.Upper Barrakka Gardens- beautiful garden with a panoramic view of the Grand Harbour. 3.Saluting Battery- The Saluting Battery is where a cannon once fired salutes to visiting naval vessels. If you time your visit right, you can watch one of the cannons be fired at 12noon or 4pm. This can also be viewed without going into the Saluting Battery from the balcony of the Upper Barrakka Gardens #valletta #malta #maltatiktok #travel #traveltiktok #travellife #traveltok #traveling #traveltips #travelbucketlist #explore #vacation ♬ Baiana – Barbatuques

]]> Grab your camera and get ready to walk in Shakespeare’s footsteps! Whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply curious about the legend behind the plays (and sonnets! Let us not forget), here are five must-visit spots where major parts of his life and work took place.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Kick off your journey at Shakespeare’s Birthplace in the heart of this charming town. Wander through the well-preserved Tudor home where the Bard was born and passed his childhood years. It’s history you can literally stand in.

Anne Hathaway’s Cottage

Next up, explore the idyllic cottage where Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway (not the actress), grew up. Set on 90 acres, this 12-room gem was restored by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust to its original glory and is now a museum. The surrounding gardens are perfect for a stroll back in time.

The Globe Theatre, London

Head to London’s Globe Theatre, where Shakespeare’s masterpieces dominated the stage in the late 1500s. The current building is in fact a recreation of the original playhouse, destroyed in 1644. It was then rebuilt with 16th-century techniques, restoring the magic of his plays (or at least, trying to).

Banqueting House, Whitehall

Visit Banqueting House, the last remnant of Whitehall Palace. Here, you can stand right where Shakespeare’s company performed for royalty. Imagine watching one of his iconic plays just like King James did in 1611.

Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon

End your journey back in Stratford-Upon-Avon at Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare is buried. Walk along the greenery-filled path to his grave, where a small donation lets you stand before the Bard’s final resting place. Make sure you don’t miss the curse inscribed on his tombstone.

]]> The UK has some amazing attractions to offer locals and visitors. There is stunning countryside, exciting cities, jaw-dropping coastline, and fascinating historical sites. There are also many sites that are incredibly significant within the world of literature. Whether it’s the home of a famous author or the setting of an iconic scene, there are plenty of intriguing literary-themed areas to explore. If you want to plan a tour of some of these areas, then here are a few to add to your list. 

Haworth, Yorkshire

This charming village in the picturesque county of Yorkshire was home to the Brontë sisters and was where they wrote many of their most beloved stories. The village itself is a beautiful spot to explore, with pretty cobbled streets, cute shops and cafes, and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. 

Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire

This ancient woodland is a wonderful place to explore. Its life as a forest began at the end of the last ice age, so its mystical winding paths have many tales to tell. This forest is also known as the home of the fictional character Robin Hood, and where many of his exciting adventures took place. 

Shakespeare’s Globe, London

This working theatre is an incredibly realistic reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre for which Shakespeare wrote his plays in the 1500s. It’s built in the same area as the original, on the south bank of the River Thames, and hosts many plays and performances.
