    Lazy summer days in Sibiu county

    A Scottish New Year’s tale: Glasgow and Edinburgh

    Which Scottish city is better for a getaway: is it Glasgow, a former industrial powerhouse, that’s been trying to reinvent itself in the past years, by rebuilding its image and architecture, or is it Edinburgh, a former royal capital, that

    Barcelona: uncovering Gaudí’s large playground

    Is Barcelona one of the best travel destinations on the planet? What makes it so attractive to people all over the world? Has it got any secrets? And how surreal are the works of Antoni Gaudí in reality, compared to

    Weekend in Transylvania: Brașov county

    Weekend in Transylvania: Brașov county
