    Is Amsterdam Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I’ve been to Amsterdam three times now, and each trip taught me something the last one didn’t. The first time, I did the tourist checklist: canal cruise, Anne Frank House, a coffee shop I walked past twice before working up the nerve to go in. The second trip, I stayed longer and rented a bike,…

    Is Barcelona Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I’ve been to Barcelona three times now, once as a quick weekend stop, once for a full week, and once as a base for a longer trip around Catalonia. Each visit changed my opinion of the city a little, and by the third trip I felt like I finally understood how to actually enjoy it…

  • Is Berlin Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    Is Berlin Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I’ve visited Berlin twice now, and both times I left thinking the same thing: this is one of those places that doesn’t quite match its reputation, in a good way. People describe Berlin as grey, gritty, and a little chaotic before they’ve even landed, and honestly, there’s some truth to that. But underneath the concrete…

  • Is Budapest Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    Is Budapest Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I spent nine days in Budapest last spring, split between a small apartment in District VII and a guesthouse across the river in Buda. I went in expecting a cheap, pretty city to tick off a list. I left with a real soft spot for the place, and a phone full of photos I still…

    Is Copenhagen Worth Visiting? Top 10 Reasons to Visit (2026)

    Is Copenhagen worth visiting? Yes, absolutely. Copenhagen is one of those cities that is easy to like from the moment you arrive. I enjoyed exploring the colourful waterfront, cycling through the city, and spending time in the many parks, cafés, and neighbourhoods. What stood out most was how relaxed and easy-going the city felt. Even…

    I’ve been to Krakow three times now, once as a quick weekend trip, once for a full week based in the Old Town, and once passing through on a longer route across southern Poland. Each visit changed my opinion of the city a little. The first time I came for Auschwitz and the salt mine.…

    Is Lisbon Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I’ve been to Lisbon twice now, once for a long weekend and once for a full week with more time to explore beyond the main sights. Both trips left me thinking about the city long after I’d flown home, which is usually a good sign. But “is Lisbon worth visiting” is still a question I…

    Is London Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I moved to London in 2018, and I still remember standing on Westminster Bridge on my first proper day off, watching Big Ben and thinking I’d somehow wandered onto a film set. Eight years later, the postcard moments haven’t worn off, but I’ve also spent enough time navigating the Tube at rush hour and queuing…

    Is Oslo Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I’ve now visited Oslo three times, and each trip gave me a different answer to the question I get asked most: is Oslo worth visiting? My first trip was a quick two-day layover on my way to the fjords. I almost skipped the city entirely. My second trip was a full week in summer, when…

    Is Prague Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I’ve walked across the Charles Bridge at 6 a.m. to beat the crowds. I’ve gotten lost in Prague’s Old Town more times than I’d like to admit. And I’ve eaten my body weight in trdelník on more than one trip. So when people ask me “is Prague worth visiting?”, I don’t answer with a quick…

  • Is Rome Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    Is Rome Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)

    I’ve visited Rome twice now, and both times I left thinking the same thing: this is a city built for repeat visits. Rome is genuinely one of those places where you could spend a lifetime and still not see everything, and even after two trips I know I’ve only scratched the surface. It earned its…
