For me the Czech Republic was like a very beautiful fairy tale. Bohemia, Moravia, Beer, Skoda, these are some of the keywords of the territory but the country has much more to offer. The Country itself is practically in the middle of Europe.

Krakow, The Old Royal Residence
Me at the cities town square, Krakow, Poland
The Renaissance architectural masterpiece of Krakow is a charm on its own
It was such an honor for me to see Krakow with my own eyes. I always wanted to visit this place cause I was aware of the fact that Krakow is exceptionally beautiful even before I went there. I consider this city to be one of Central/Eastern Europe’s best, and if you travel in the nearby future, I strongly recommend to visit Krakow as soon and as thoroughly as possible.
Hour after hour, a harsh and bugle sound can be heard from the tower of St Mary’s Basilica and then it suddenly stops. At the Rynek Glowni cafe, situated on the square of the old town is worth a visit. Krakow is not only the “Slavic Rome” but also the “Citadel of Legends”.
Here you will find more than 100 churches and monasteries, nuns that have faces reminding us of Virgin Mary and numerous people who worship everyday in one of Krakow’s churches.

Istanbul, The Striking Light of Bosphorus

In Istanbul both European and Oriental traditions can be sensed.
If we could choose a city filled with contrasts, we would choose Istanbul, the city that divides Europe and Asia by the Bosphorus strait, yet at the same time, unifying them in a paradoxical. Occidental life is generally accepted on the Asian part, and the Oriental traditions remain strong on the Golden Horn, which is European Land.

Sydney’s Charm

The biggest port of Australia was established by British deportees
It was the most unusual load that Admiral Arthur Phillips ever transported. The commander of 11 ships started his journey of 7 months from England to the eastern coast of Australia, having over 700 British convicts for deportation and over 450 marines.
On 18 January 1788 the ships touched the ground described by other navigators as good for landing. At this point the exhausted prisoners – at least those who survived the voyage – could finally leave the ships.

The Capital of Estonia is a flourishing commercial center of the Baltic The Toompea hill, where the cathedral lies, was a landmark for navigators over the centuries. When the weather is good it can be seen even from Helsinki, the other side of the Gulf of Finland.
About 20 ferryboats cross daily from Tallinn to Helsinki and vice-versa, bringing many Finns to the city that can benefit from the lower prices and can take a walk in the beautiful medieval town.
