Seven Days in Dubrovnik

 Dubrovnik: South Dalmatia, Croatia Located on the southern coast of Croatia,  facing  the  Adriatic Sea, this beautiful area is famous for its walled city. It is a great place  for a relaxing seaside city break.  DAY 1 - OLD TOWN, CITY WALLS                                     Dubrovnik is famous for its old town which is a walled city with many historical sights. Walking tours of the city are available if you want to see the highlights however, if you have a few days to spend here, I recommend exploring on your own, at your own pace. For any Game of Thrones fans, you can take walking tours to see some of the sites featured in the series.                           I also recommend taking a walk along the city walls which will give you amazing views of Dubrovnik and surrounding areas.  DAY 2 - MOUNT SRD                        Leaving from the old town, you can take a short cable car ride up to Mount Srd for some of the best views over the old town and Elafiti Islands: there is also a r

Three Days in Rome

Rome: Capital of Italy Home to stunning architecture, the former Roman Empire and the smallest country in the world, Rome has a lot to offer. This city is filled with so much culture that it can be hard to take it all in: three days allows you to see the highlights. DAY 1 - SPANISH STEPS, TREVI FOUNTAIN, PANTHEON, ALTER OF THE FATHERLAND, COLOSSEUM                           As one of the most famous sights in Rome, the Spanish Steps are a must see for any traveller.                      The Trevi Fountain is a must see and considered the most famous fountain in Rome. I recommend getting here early or late in the day in order to avoid the crowds. This is one of many fountains in the city so be sure to look out for others such as the Fountain of Four Rivers.                                 Located just a short walk from Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon is famous for its architecture: with no windows, an oculus called the Eye of the Pantheon is the only light source.                         T
