Here's a guide to Pompeii, Italy.
I've been craving Spanish tapas, ever since my recent Euro-trip! I found this cute restaurant that was perfect for my grandma's birthday celebration and also to satisfy my tapas craving.
Here is what you need to know before visiting the Vatican.
Ciao Roma! How can you visit Italy without stopping by and exploring Rome? The city of unforgettable history, art, restaurants, nightlife and entertainment is a must see. With a limited time frame in Rome, hitting up the main attractions is up high on the priority list.
Florence is filled with so much art and cultural history it is hard not to love this city. You will be swept away into Renaissance as you are surrounded by beautifully preserved, architecturally perfect, historical buildings and breathtaking art at every turn. Also the food here is amazing with trattorias, osterias, cafes, gelaterias and pizzerias everywhere!
If you love food, Smorgasburg is the place to visit to try out yummy foods from a variety of vendors!
En route to Florence, we have a stopover in Pisa! This is a tourist filled sanctuary that's always busy throughout the day. This is a popular stop between Venice and Florence. I couldn't wait to see the structure in person and take my basic tourist photo in front of it as well as the hundred of other people doing the exact same thing.
Oh Venice, the wonderful city of colorful buildings, whimsical bridges, tons of canals, and tiny streets. Every corner you you turn, your lost in a real life water color painting that your camera can never do justice (trust me I tried). This blogpost is PHOTO HEAVY, I couldn't stop snapping away photos here!
Make sure you dress up in your nicest outfit to head out for a night in Monaco! It is your one night to be alongside the rich and famous so make it count. Monaco is one of the smallest countries in the world besides the Vatican. Its known for it's opulence of luxury cars, high rolling gamblers, legendary casino, huge yachts, amazing nightlife and sightings of rich and famous celebrities. Things are more expensive here but don't let that get in the way of having fun in Monaco!
If you're ever in the South France, you have to visit the gorgeous town of Nice. There's so much to see and do so make sure you allocate your time correctly!
The South of France has many hotspots to visit and Antibes is definitely a place you need to go check out whenever you're in the area!
We finally made it to Spain! The coach ride was very long but I slept most of the way. I was excited to see what Barcelona had to offer. When I booked this tour I didn't really know what to expect when going to Barcelona, I was initially more excited to see the other cities on the tour. Surprisingly, I was taken aback on how much I really loved this city. I don't know if it was the energy, the food, or the people, it just reminded me of home. As a latina, being in a country that speaks spanish, has amazing flavorful food, fresh juices, great music that just made me want to dance all night long, just took all the homesick feelings away. I could see myself living there, I just didn't want to leave. I never would of thought I would fall in love with Barcelona the way I did. I wish we stayed in this city longer during this tour because it wasn't enough. I was craving more time in Barcelona and I will for sure be coming back soon!
From the busy city of Paris to the picturesque country side, the views are unbelievable! The long coach ride was filled with singing, sleeping, talking, and eating. Having a window seat and seeing the scenery on the way to our next destination was just breathtaking.
Oh Paris, the city of love. Many of us think of romantic love stories from the movies we watched or books that we read when we hear or think of the city of Paris. I was super excited when we finally arrived and couldn't wait to see what the city has to offer!
Getting off the airplane, going through customs, finding my luggage seemed like I was in a dream or maybe it was the jet lag kicking in or that fact I was really sleepy but it finally hit me that I'm OFFICIALLY in Europe... by myself.. OHMYGOD!
If you're considering booking with Contiki, here is a full honest review on my trip I did with them. I went on the London to Athens plus 9 day Greek Adventurer tour which was my first ever tour experience and it was a whirlwind adventure.
