Europe is a continent rich with history, culture, and beauty. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the bustling streets of Paris, there’s no shortage of amazing destinations to explore. But with so many choices, it can be tough to narrow down the list of cities to visit. That’s why we’ve put together a guide to some of the most charming cities while discovering Europe, complete with reasons why they’re worth a visit.
I have written a blog post about Global Entry previously, but I thought I would just update the 5 best reasons why this is great for international travelers. If you travel internationally a lot, then Global Entry is a program that you should definitely consider to fast-track your international journeys. Here’s why:
Paris is a magical city at any time of year, but during the holiday season it truly comes alive. If you’re planning on visiting the city of lights this Christmas, here are some of the best things to do to get you in the holiday spirit for Christmas in Paris.
Italy is a country known for its rich history, beautiful art, and delicious cuisine, and during the Christmas season it becomes even more special. If you’re planning on visiting Italy this holiday season or next, here are some of the best things to do to get you in the holiday spirit for a Christmas in Italy.
Richard and I decided to get out of Florence for a day to visit a picturesque wine estate in Tuscany. The property was called Torre A Cona. It was built in 1066 originally as a castle, and later changed to a country estate . There are many buildings on the property now, to include an Enoteca, a large cellar and wine making buildings, as well as a hotel and some private villas/apartments. Torre A Cona has a large swimming (with a second on the horizon) as well a restaurant and bar area. This Tuscany wine estate is a great way to see the iconic Tuscan countryside.
Richard and I are off to Italy next week and we are so ready to go (well, except I haven’t started packing at all yet). But we cannot wait to be back in our favorite country together this time. While thinking about my blog for this week, I thought it should be about Italy in some fashion. I am actually returning to Italy in November too for a wine/luxury hotel conference, and we are staying in Barga, which is an area of Tuscany Italy I haven’t been to before.
One thing Europeans do, and do big, is festivals. From traditional festivals featuring rituals and generational customs, to music and dance festivals with worldwide performers, there’s usually a festival for everything and everyone. Here’s a glimpse into some. Can you feel the euphoria of European festivals?
There are multiple reasons why people travel. Whether it be a business trip, visiting a friend, reuniting with family, or just a vacation, traveling is something we all do. But, what is often overlooked, is luxury travel. Usually people hear luxury, they think in dollar signs. But the honest essence of luxury travel can’t just be purchased. At the core of luxury travel is a number of feelings that many of us rarely come into contact with. And those feelings of comfort, exclusivity, and intimacy are truly the essence of luxury travel.
One thing about me is that I love a good hotel. And if you possess that same love like me, you know that there are a number of things that make a “good hotel”; amazing customer service, good food, and fun, thoughtful quirks. There’s so many things that hotels can offer and it’s pleasing to see when different hotels put in effort to make your travel experience even more unique! Here’s a luxury European hotel quick guide with 3 hotels I believe will add a special touch to your next European vacation.
Discovering secret, hidden places is one of my favorite pastimes. While indulging in touristy adventures and experiences is a fun part of exploring new places, going into lesser known parts of a city or country is truly where it’s at. It allows you to uncover a new side, or even the true essence, of wherever you’re at and can make for unique memories. Here is a short list of some hidden treasures in Europe.
