Poland

Gdansk, Poland

- This is a very beautiful eastern European city that most will never travel to because it is not on most people's radar. It is surely a must visit destination because it gives such a welcoming atmosphere! The architecture is spectacular--it was even rebuilt exactly how it looked before being destroyed in the war. The food tastes amazing (get it at the milk bars) and it is cheap too. When visiting Gdansk, we recommend stay at the Q Hotel Grand Cru Gdańsk which is near the Motlawa River. We highly recommend staying here as it is a great location to all the local attractions and the hotel staff were extremely helpful! Explore our pictures below of Gdansk and gain inspiration to travel to this city on your next city holiday!

Prague- The Czech Republic

There is just something special about Prague that no other city we have travelled to in Europe quite has. It is just so beautiful and unique, but also alludes to the special feel Paris has. You just have to come to experience it for yourself! Trust us!

When staying in Prague, we chose to stay on the outskirts a little bit which seems to be much cheaper than the city center and allowed for a much more authentic and cultural feel. Lovely coffee shops just minutes from our accommodation and a few grocery stores too. We stayed in the neighborhood of Vinohrady & Vrsovice. It was truly magical and we highly recommend anyone traveling here to stay in this neighborhood as it is a nice metro trip in for only pennies on the dollar and it's not too far if you choose to take a walk into the city center. However, if you want to skip all the cultural stuff, stay in the city center and experience the craziness of this place like a tourist.

Spain

Valencia

When staying in Valencia, our recommended locations are as follows: city center, the science buildings, and near the beach. That way, each of the places allows for great vacationing and site seeing. It just depends on what you want out of your vacation. But that is our top three places for staying in Valencia, Spain. 

Fez and Morocco's Todra Gorge

Fez

-What a crazy city here in Morocco! This place is dirty, grand, and spectacular all at the same time and should be on anyone's bucket list to visit. The small alley ways, unique culture, and hustle and bustle of everyone around makes for a fun and interesting place to visit. When you are here, make sure to stay near the markets and the main center as this will provide you with the best opportunities to find great food and great picturesque sights. You will not be sorry you visited this place.

Todra Gorge

This place yields for a wonderful little escape from the craziness of the big city. It is very tranquil and the Berber food is amazing to eat here. There is a few nice walks that you must do while staying here so try for that and you won't be disappointed. Definitely stay within the gorge it self. you can get a lot of great views of the date groves and ancient casbahs. 

Belgium

Brussels

Who wouldn't want to indulge is the typical life of a Belgian. In this location that we are going to recommend, you will really feel like a local drinking all the best beers and eating the best foods! One of the best places we found when visiting Brussels was staying in the Saint Cathrine area near the St. Cathrine Cathedral. This area offered beautiful reflection pools, wonderful outdoor terraces to eat and drink at--all while feeling like you were a local and not a tourist. This place is also just a short 10 minute walk from all the main attractions in the city center. 

Abu Dhabi UAE

Abu Dhabi

This lovely mosque is a must see if you find yourself in the UAE. It is not necessary to stay near here in order to see this place. We recommend staying nearly anywhere within the city as you can take the local buses for cheap and are really easy to understand. If you ever get confused, the bus drivers will help you in where you are going next.
