Escape with us to one of the world’s most romantic, magical cities. Lisbon is 400 years older than Rome and Paris and rivals both in beauty. The spirit of exploration still lives here, inspired by those who set sail from its shores to discover the world. Come with us and explore its countless charms.
Lisbon is a magical and romantic destination, highly recommended for every traveler’s bucket list. Within the city’s unique and charming neighborhoods – Baixa, Alfama, Chiado, and Bairro Alto there’s enough to fill weeks of exploration. Click here for our city guide: Exploring Lisbon where we provide an itinerary that covers the major sights and experiences, while leaving enough time to take it all in at an unhurried pace.
But beyond the city limits, Lisbon is also the perfect jumping off point for spectacular day trips – within an hour of the major city you can escape to castles, gardens and medieval villages. Each tour we took was expertly guided by Lisbon by Locals, who we highly recommend!
Come with us as we share our experiences from days 3,4 and 5 of our 8-day adventure. Now, let’s embark on three unique day trips, covering 6 towns not to be missed. Enjoy!
Escape to a place where time stands still, experiencing world-renowned destinations where nature, heritage, culture and cuisine exceed your imagination. The wonders to be explored in Croatia are seemingly endless, and promise to be among the most treasured memories you will carry with you for a lifetime.
Between the mainland and hundreds of spectacular islands, there are over 2500 miles of coastline beckoning to be explored. Planning the perfect itinerary can be quite daunting, as you won’t want to miss captivating old town city walks, swims in the sea and the unique Croatian cuisine. The ultimate way to take it all in is a private charter, sailing in luxury as we did on the Adriatic King. With much gratitude we were graciously hosted by Michael Gelber and IWORLD of TRAVEL for a unique leaning experience designed for travel agents.

This world-class cruise ship explores the gems of the Adriatic, featuring every amenity you could ever want. We were hosted by a crew made up od family and friends who made us feel like one of their own from our first day spent with them. The balance of organized tours, swim stops, 5 star meals and exceptional service makes yachting the perfect way to experience it all.
We’re thrilled to feature our first guest blogger, our dear friend Jean Devlin…sharing her travel adventures and stunning photography.
When it comes to foreign travel, I try to familiarize myself with basic words and phrases of the native language. My language acquisition hit some serious roadblocks when it came to Czech and the only word I could remember was pivo, which means beer. Fortunately, that really came in handy and better yet, most merchants and waitstaff speak decent English in the city.
Prague is a beautiful city that deserves a visit. Most of the main attractions are within walking distance of each other, which is good because though the metro system is simple to navigate, trying to figure out how to pay for a ticket is extremely difficult. Personally, I’d rather be above ground, soaking in the sites instead of riding on a subway anyway. The Vlatva River divides Prague, with the Little Quarter and the Prague castle on one side of the river and the Old Town and New Town on the other.
The Charles Bridge is a beauty and not to be missed and we crossed over it many, many times during our visit. I’ll get into my observations on that later.
