London
Tower of London
London Things to Do
First thing when visiting the Tower is to hurry up to
the Waterloo block where the Crown Jewels are on exhibit. Do it before
09.30 am. to avoid the lines. Visitors are whizzed past the Crowns on a
moving walkway.
If you are early you can go back and look again if... more

Amsterdam
Red Light District - De Wallen

habit of rolling his eyes whenever you asked for anything! We had to ask
for a glass in order to drink our beer – twice! – then once the... more
Venice
Churches
Venice Things to Do
Santa Maria della Salute is my favoured church in
Venice, more than San Marco for a very practical reason: during my last
two visits to Venice the queue at San Marco was so long that I abandoned

Copenhagen
Tivoli
Copenhagen Things to Do
Been there in December, there was a Christmas market.
It's a nice place to stroll around. If you're with kids they will love
the rides there. There's a entrance fee I just don't remember how much
but it was reasonable.

Vienna Things to Do
When visiting the park of Schönbrunn palace, don’t miss

German Food
Berlin Restaurants
Not really a restaurant as you can see from the picture!
Those guys are selling grilled bratwurst for less than 2 euros so I'd
say it's pretty good value. There is only one: bratwurst but you can
have it with or without bread.

Il Duomo - Santa Maria del Fiore
