Palermo is famous for its street food. Cheap and simple, street food in Palermo is a delicious way to try lots of local specialities as you explore the markets. However, it can be a little intimidating to know what to choose and where to get it from, so I was thrilled when Palermo Street Food […]
Berlin wasn’t the first place I thought of to go to a Las Vegas style show. I suppose Las Vegas was the only place I’d thought of going to a Las Vegas show! However, when I visited Berlin in March, the Palast Berlin got in touch to invite me to go and see their revue […]
After a hectic week in Berlin, I needed some downtime in Sicily. I was exhausted and desperate for a good nights’ sleep, so found a little bed and breakfast to spend a quiet three nights in Palermo Sicily. Kalamonjo Suite&Rooms was perfect for what I needed, so if you are wondering where to stay in […]
El Palacio da Pena is the most famous of all the castles in Sintra, and the one you’ll see on all the Portugal guidebook photos. The brightly coloured red and yellow towers are visible from all around Sintra, as this castle is high on the hillside and the gardens include the highest point in Sintra. […]

Porto is famous for its wine. As well as the Port wine, the Douro Valley region just outside Porto produces some fabulous wines and a Douro Valley wine tour makes a wonderful day trip from Porto. I contacted Cooltour Oporto about one of their Porto wine tours which included transport to the Douro Valley, wine […]
Hostels in Portugal are of an incredibly high standard. There are some amazing hostels in Lisbon, to suit every taste, from luxury hostels to all-night parties. After spending some lovely relaxed days in Evora I wanted a bit of excitement during my stay, and when Tatiana from Good Morning Hostel got in touch, I knew […]
I loved Evora in Portugal. This beautiful city has so much to offer, yet many people only spend a day here on a whistle-stop Lisbon to Evora day trip – they are missing out big time! I spent three days enjoying Evora at a relaxed pace, and with plenty of things to do in Evora, […]
A lot of people come to Evora just for a day trip from Lisbon. That is such a shame, and they are missing out on so much in Evora and the Alentejo region. There are a lot of things to do in Evora city itself, much more than you can do in a day, and […]
