The highlight of our Morocco trip was no doubt the 4 days we spent travelling through the mountains, valleys and the borders of the desert. Being able to get out of cities and enjoy the rural countryside has always been something I look forward to when travelling, and clearly Morocco is one good place for...

I must admit, I wouldn’t consider Marrakech as one of my favourite cities. The narrow alleys that are barely lit at night. The unkempt but ever-busy streets. Walking in the old town with the occasional stares or “Konnichiwa”s isn’t the most comfortable experience one can ask for. But then again, I ask myself what was...

For only £10 return, Tiantian and I bought advance tickets to the seaside town of Brighton, located just 1 hour south of London! To be honest, there isn’t much to do visit and explore here – the best thing to do is to simply relax on the pebble beach and watch the sunset. Along the...

Connecting the Old Town and Lesser Town, Charles Bridge is the most popular structure in Prague. In the day, it is bustling with activity as artists sell their paintings or jewellery on both sides of the bridge and musicians busk amidst the walking traffic. In the night, it would turn into a romantic place to see the...

After visiting Munich, Fussen, Salzburg and Vienna, little did we know we saved the best for the last – Prague. Having just walked out from the Soviet sphere of influence, Prague has a charm that can’t be found in the cities we visited earlier. The cobblestone streets, the occasional non-classicist architecture, the shades of communist...

Vienna may not be the prettiest city we’ve had seen, but there’s no reason to skip it as well. In the cultural and economic centre of Austria, the word ‘grandeur’ is exemplified in many aspects, including music, architecture and even food (the coffeehouse culture). Within a short 2 days, Tiantian and I tried to capture the essence...

Vienna is another one of those cities with a treasure trove of good quality museums. If you’d love museums, I dare say you can spend 4-5 days here simply visiting one or two of each per day. However, for the casual travellers that just want to check out a select few, we would recommend visiting...

If there’s one regret during our stay in Salzburg, its that we needed more time! As we only arrived in Salzburg on the night before and had the next train to Vienna at 3pm in the afternoon, we effectively only had 6 hours of day time to explore the city of Mozart and The Sound...

Famous for the Neuschwanstein castle, Fussen is a small town about a 2-hour train ride south-west from Munich. It isn’t the first time I’m here, the last time being a few years back during winter. The tourist crowds visiting the Neuschwanstein castle remained as huge, but I must say the weather is much more pleasant...
