Stavropoleos Church is one of the oldest churches in Bucharest, dating back to 1724. It is amazing that the church is still standing after the communist period, especially as it is located in the central part of Bucharest – the Old Town. Many churches were destroyed and new buildings were constructed on the sites in […]
Museum of Communism in Bucharest or, in Romanian, Undeva in comunism [Somewhere in communism] is a must visit museum. I followed them on social media and I knew I wanted to visit the museum in our short trip to Romania. It takes an hour and a half to visit and it is so worth it. […]
This post is on Otopeni Airport, the main airport in Bucharest. I didn’t take pictures of the airport because the border guards would have been unhappy. Just seeing us walking slowly in the train station and taking pictures of it was enough to put us in the “random ID checks” situation. While others might be […]
I haven’t been to Romania for a very long time and I didn’t know what to expect, in relation to food. I talked about vegan options with friends and family, but it was not clear how many options we had, as tourists in a way. The people I chatted about food prepared many of the […]
My post for today, walk through Bucharest, is full of pictures and a few short descriptions. All the buildings pictured are important, either historically or politically or both. I’ve spent under 2 days in Bucharest, so all are from the city centre, due to the time limitations. This is the Bucharest North train station. CFR, […]
The second place we’ve been to in Amiens was a late 19th-century home in which Jules Verne lived. It has some of items he used, beautifully preserved interiors, and a garden. Jules Verne lived for 34 years in Amiens and 18 of those years were spent in this house which is now a museum. When […]
Amiens Cathedral is one of the 2 attractions in Amiens I saw on my way back from Paris. This cathedral is stunning. It was built in the 13th century. During 2 years of the French Revolutions it sustained damage as people looted and destroyed churches all over the country. From early 1800s the restoration started […]
The last posts from Paris were about places that needed no introduction. I’m not so sure about Malmaison though. It was considered a palace, but judging by its size, it is similar to a small country home by British standards (and French if we think of Versailles and Louvre). Malmaison was the private residence of […]
Musée de l’Armée is going to be a pictures only post. It’s a wonderful museum which I couldn’t visit in its entirety because we arrived at the museum 2 hours before closing and I assume it takes about 3-4 hours to properly see everything. I shared the highlights, which include Napoleon’s tomb. I have to […]
Louvre is another place that needs no introduction. Unlike my visit to the Eiffel Tower, which was something I wasn’t particularly interested in doing, I was looking forward to visiting the Louvre. It was my favourite place in France, without any doubt and one of the best museums I’ve been to. If I’m in Paris […]

I will disclose by mentioning in the post and/or by marking them with an asterisk (*) or c/o.
