Louvre Museum Paris France 🖼️🇫🇷
#europetrip
My trip to the Louvre Museum in Paris was an amazing adventure through art and history surrounded by the city's autumn beauty 🍂. Situated in the heart of Paris, the Louvre's famous glass pyramid and the courtyard were decorated with vibrant leaves, creating a charming scene.
Discovering the museum's extensive collection, from the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa to the magnificent Winged Victory of Samothrace, was even more magical with the warm hues of autumn in the background 🍁. The tranquil courtyards and gardens, like the Cour Carrée and the Jardin des Tuileries, provided a peaceful retreat in the cool air.
Visiting the Louvre during the fall season offered a special mix of cultural immersion and natural splendor, making it a memorable experience that enhanced my love for art and the changing seasons 🏛️🍁. #France #france #paris #louvremuseum

Standing under the Eiffel Tower in Paris was like stepping into a magical moment filled with history and sophistication ✨.
As I gazed up at its intricate iron structure, I could feel the echoes of the past blending with the buzz of the present. Going up the tower felt like a journey through the ages, with each level offering a unique view of the city's charm.

It was a moment frozen in time, forever etched in my memory. 🗼🇫🇷 #paris #france #eiffeltower

Regarding swimming in the Seine River, it has been prohibited since 1923 due to safety concerns and water quality issues. However, thanks to the city's efforts for the 2024 Summer Olympics, there are plans to open three swimming areas along the Seine River to the public by summer 2025 🏊♂️🌊.

Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam 🖼️ 🇳🇱
#europetrip
When I went to the Vincent van Gogh museum, I was truly amazed by his life story and incredible artworks. The museum gave me a fascinating glimpse into the struggles and triumphs that shaped van Gogh's artistic journey. As I strolled through the exhibits, I felt a deep admiration for his dedication and passion for art.

Palace of Versailles Paris 🇫🇷
#europetrip
Chateau de Versailles The most renowned French king is definitely Louis XIV. The history of Versailles is closely tied to Louis XIV. While the site had a long history before the king, Louis XIV developed a strong fondness for Versailles early on and chose to expand it beyond the chateau that originated from his father's hunting lodge of brick and stone.
It's best to purchase your tickets online instead of waiting in line there since queues can stretch for hours during busy periods like summer. 🎟️🏰

Walibi Universal Studios Netherlands🇳🇱
#europetrip
Walibi - Universal Studios in the Netherlands# When I first came in, my friends in Beijing were shocked. Isn't this the pirated Universal Studios? But Walibi's roller coaster. I really enjoy playing, and the queue time is not long. I can definitely play the entire park once a day. Recommended more than once: Goliath Governance is the longest roller coaster in the Bilu area, located on the far left side of the map without a 360 degree rotation. The scenery is good and the wooden structure looks great. The height and maximum speed are both online, and the feeling of being involved is strong. Only the queue time is the longest. It is recommended to enter the park early to queue
Kenwood House stands as illustrious past 🏴
#europetrip
Entering Kenwood House felt like stepping into a bygone era of aristocratic grace. Its majestic facade greeted me as I traversed the manicured grounds of Hampstead Heath. Inside, the opulent interiors whispered tales of opulence and refinement, echoing the legacy of its former residents, the Earls of Mansfield. Every room revealed a new marvel, from the intricate architecture to the exquisite artwork adorning the walls. As I wandered through its halls, I couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the cultural heritage preserved within these walls. Kenwood House stands as a timeless monument to London's illustrious past.
Stunning The Londoners Macao 😍❤️
#europetrip
Londoners who come to Macau must not miss these six places! Since the appearance of Londoners in Macau, I have always come here and brought friends to laugh and say, "Local" has been to Macau more than ten times. I summarized the six key points worth checking in for Londoners, all of which are worth paying for. Don't miss this place! The article also includes a color mixing education program that many people have asked about, along with the arrangement of placing the camera in position P1, connecting to the outdoor terrace on the left side of the Four Seasons Famous Store overpass
Blue Hour at Budapest Parliament 😍❤️
#europetrip
After the blue hour sunset in Budapest, don't rush to leave. In the next twenty minutes, you will see the "blue tone moment" in the sky. When the sun is one to four degrees below the horizon, but it is six degrees, a blue world is obscured by Budapest. This is the sky and the night view bay: both are beautiful cities. Consumption is very cost-effective compared to European countries. There is no need to do too much. Attack slowly and stop. Stop at Park 2, Kakuang County Store 2, street side small shops to pass the time. At sunset, Teng, go for a stroll on the Danube River, which is a super unforgettable romantic moment

As I strolled along North End Way, the allure of Inverforth House beckoned. Nestled between Hampstead and Golders Green, its timeless beauty captivated me. The mansion and its lush gardens seamlessly merged with the surrounding West Heath and Golders Hill Park, creating a picturesque retreat. Originally erected in 1807, the estate bore witness to centuries of history. Now, under the stewardship of Lord Inverforth since 1925, its legacy flourished anew. Each corner of the estate whispered tales of grandeur and refinement, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its rich heritage.

The stately rooms, adorned with ornate furnishings and priceless artwork, whispered tales of aristocratic splendor.

The serene beauty of this ancient heath🏴
#europetrip
As I ascended the sandy ridge of Hampstead Heath, the cityscape melted away, replaced by sprawling greenery. The expanse of grass beneath my feet seemed to stretch on endlessly, punctuated by clusters of trees and winding paths. From this vantage point, London lay below like a miniature world, its skyline etched against the horizon. A gentle breeze carried the scent of earth and wildflowers, while the distant sounds of city life faded into a tranquil hum. Here, amid nature's embrace, time slowed, allowing me to immerse myself fully in the serene beauty of this ancient heath.
Oceanografic Valencia Spain 🇪🇸
#europetrip
The aquarium is worth a visit to Oceanographic 🐠🐟
The whole family has over 120 tickets, remember to buy them online. It's best to go at 10 o'clock ⏰in the morning.
It will be very hot in summer and start to get tired at noon. There are many restaurants inside, one of which is in an aquarium where you can see fish, which we didn't know at first. It was eaten at a self-service restaurant, the price is not cheap, and the taste is decent.
The aquarium is very good, with many sharks and large fish. Please forgive me for my lack of language. And there's the beluga whale, I've never seen it anywhere else. It's much larger than the aquarium in La Rochelle.
In addition, Valencia taxis are very cheap. Apart from requiring child seats when coming out of the airport, there are no requirements in the city, so it's the cheapest rental price in France. A French speaking driver born in Paris even complained to us for half a day. Compared to the price in Bordeaux, it is simply too affordable. Basically, when we go from Queen's Square to other attractions, it's within 10 euros, with very few exceeding 10 euros.💶

Klifki's springs
#europetrip The klifki's springs is a place of rare and unique beauty! it is located at the middle of the Arachthos' river canyon. You can admire a series of waterfalls that vary from small ones to a very big one that is 47m high. The water comes out from a natural formed water tank that collects the water from the canyon and the cave. The waterfalls bring the water to the Arachthos river.
There is a view spot on the way down to the river, where you can sit and relax having an amazing view to the river and the canyon.
To get to the klifki's springs you have to start from Kalentzi's square and take the road to the east, it is a flat and easy pathway that brings you at the beggining of the path to the springs.The path will take you down to the waterfalls, an old watermill and the Arachthos river.
Cape Skinari
#europetrip Important thing about this place is that is not reachable by land it is only reachable with the boat. first we came here With the car and then we realized that we cannot see anything and that we cannot visited then they after tomorrow we came with the boat and the view was beautiful.It’s a nice place to explore. We also got a boat from there to see the shipwreck. The personnel was really kind and helpful and waited a bit for us to prepare for the trip.
Anemomilos Windmill
#europetrip The Windmill itself is not that amazing, however, the beach right next to it is great. The views of the bay, Fort and the hills is astonishing. We took a sightseeing bus tour, got out at the windmill, and ended up going for a swim in the bay with the locals. The water was amazing, nice and warm on the inside of the bay and nice and chilly on the outside. Water is quite salty but the experience itself is fabulous. there is a cafe by the entrance and two publi changing rooms as well for those that want to go for a swim. It is quite difficult to get back on the sightseeing bus though, as not many people get off at the Windmill. We ended up missing 3 buses as they were all full.
Venetian Watch Tower
#europetrip Actually the photo speaks for this place - nothing else here can be found, so worth to check if You are exploring somewhere near. Additional tip: the watch tower is on a little hill and there is a bench on the cliff near it where some nice view can be found! It was strong wind during my visit but still took some time and enjoyed that view!Beautiful little watch tower, stunning views, free entry no queues. Definitely a worthwhile view
Oxya Viewpoint
#europetrip There are three popular spots from which to get a good view along the main length of the Vikos Gorge and this is the most accessible from the village of Monodendri, which is where many people chose to stay. All offer spectacular views which are constantly changing with light and weather, time of day and season. In an ideal world you'd be able to come back frequently and visit them all, but for most of us this is probably a half hour stop then there are other places to move on to. Access from the road is along a rough but well trodden path, about 5-10 minutes but not suitable for wheelchairs (the viewpoint at the village of Vikos is much better for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility).
Spring Of Manas
#europetrip A beautiful place. It's mysterious and wonderfully cool. The road is easy to walk. It's a stone, sometimes a big stone. But even a child can do that. Only you should wear shoes, not flip-flops. Green nature in its original shape! I definitely recommend it.A beautiful and quiet place is easy to walk, you can put your car at the end of the road, and you can enjoy nature across the cafe.
Vikos Gorge
#europetrip Definitely worth a visit. The gorge is breathtaking but there also are so many nice little hiking trail in the area. You could spend one day here and just walk a trail to see the gorge but you could definitely also spend a few more days to explore the area.Beautiful gorge. 5h needed to track through. No public transport available. Best is to combine with your own car and a cap ride (50eur)

Archaeological site of Mycenae
#europetrip Fantastic and extensive ruins with some parts dating back 5,000 years and a must see in the Nafplio area. Informative signage throughout in Greek and English make the visit much more interesting. Some parts of the site are accessible for mobility impaired but not all. Interesting trails below the citadel lead to beehive tombs-- don't miss these! The museum on the same grounds hold the collections taken from the excavations and gives context to the visit. Don't miss it. Be aware this is a stop on many tourist itineraries and it can be crowded with tour groups.
Blue Caves Zakynthos
#europetrip A beautiful work of nature. The rocky coast has been carved by the work of the sea and waves in an incredibly beautiful way. The water is crystal blue and perfectly transparent. The Blue Caves have been very popular lately and a large number of boats and excursion boats are pushing around them. If you are lucky, you will make unforgettable photos. Touring and taking pictures of the Blue Caves takes about 10-15 minutes. Immediately nearby is a beautiful rocky bay where you can swim in the crystal clear sea. Boat trips from Kefalonia cost €50 and include Navagio Beach, the Blue Caves and the small village of Agios Nikolaos. Agios Nikolaos is a very small and boring place.
Spanish Steps
#europetrip The Spanish Steps in Rome, even in the brisk month of February, exude a vibrant charm that magnetically draws visitors from around the globe. This iconic monument, a grand cascade of Baroque artistry, offers a picturesque backdrop that seems to capture the very essence of Rome's eternal allure. Despite the cool weather, the steps buzz with the energy of tourists, each eager to partake in the shared experience of marveling at this architectural wonder. The abundance of visitors adds a lively atmosphere to the place, making it feel like a cosmopolitan meeting point where cultures converge.

Temple of Diana
#europetrip (Temple of Diana) is located in a very nice park. It’s has very beautiful architecture and is a very well kept temple. The temple is surrounded by a very lovely garden. The temple is just one of many sites to see. It’s fairly large park and it’s worth the trip visiting and checking out the temples, statues, water fountains and ponds located in and around the area. I enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend taking a nice long walk in this park and seeing its beautiful surroundings and sites.
Doge's Palace
#europetrip The queue wasn’t very long (we went there at 3pm on a Wednesday) but it was extremely crowded inside, we basically followed a line of people from start to finish and the whole experience lasted about 90 minutes. Despite all this it was still enjoyable and the architectural details, the painting and ceilings were stunning. I highly recommend buying tickets online a few weeks in advance. We overheard several people saying they wouldn’t be able to go inside because they weren’t selling any more tickets.
Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore
#europetrip The Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore is absolutely incredible! The first time I saw it, I was literally blown away by its beauty.
One of the most beautiful and imposing cathedrals I have ever seen.
The facade adorned with colorful marble, the intricate details of sculptures and reliefs.
The iconic Dome towering over the city's skyline, it's just impressive and stunning.
The interior is equally impressive, with its vast spaces, magnificent frescoes, and serene spiritual atmosphere.
It's truly a must-see for anyone visiting Florence, and it's definitely recommend to visit.
Free to enter just need to wait in queue, to see basement ticket needed.
