Is Rome Worth Visiting? Top 10 Reasons to Visit (2026)
Is Rome worth visiting? Yes, absolutely. Rome is one of those cities that somehow exceeds even the highest expectations. The first time I visited, I felt like I was walking through a living museum. Around almost every corner, there was another historic landmark, beautiful square, or impressive church. At the same time, Rome felt vibrant…

Is Húsavík Worth Visiting? Top 10 Reasons to Visit (2026)
Is Húsavík worth visiting? Yes, absolutely. Húsavík was one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. I had heard it was one of the best places in Europe for whale watching, but I quickly realised there was much more to the town than that. I enjoyed the peaceful harbour, the coastal scenery, and the…

Is Akureyri Worth Visiting? Top 10 Reasons to Visit (2026)
Is Akureyri worth visiting? Yes, absolutely. Akureyri was one of my favourite places in Iceland. While many travellers spend most of their time around Reykjavik and the south coast, I found northern Iceland just as rewarding. I enjoyed the slower pace, the beautiful views across the fjord, and the easy access to some of the…

Is Reykjavik Worth Visiting? Top 10 Reasons to Visit (2026)
Is Reykjavik worth visiting? Yes, absolutely. Reykjavik was unlike any other capital city I had visited. I expected it to be small, but I didn’t expect it to have so much character.

Is Pécs Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)
I added Pécs to my southern Hungary route almost as a whim, after a friend who’d studied abroad there wouldn’t stop talking about it. I went in with low expectations, thinking it would be a pleasant but forgettable stop between Szeged and Croatia. Instead, it turned into one of the best two days of that…

Is Szeged Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)
I got to Szeged by accident, in a way. I was planning a short loop through southern Hungary and needed somewhere to break up the drive between Budapest and the Serbian border. Szeged was the obvious stop on the map, so I booked two nights without expecting much. I stayed three, and I’ve recommended it…

Is Debrecen Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)
I added Debrecen to a Hungary trip almost as an afterthought, tacked onto the end of a longer stay in Budapest. I expected a quiet stopover before heading east toward Romania. Instead, I ended up staying two extra nights, and I still think about the place more than a lot of “bigger” stops on that…

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 Corfu Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)
Corfu was a deliberate trip, not an add-on. I’d already spent time island hopping through the Aegean, on Mykonos and Santorini, and I wanted to see how the Ionian side of Greece compared, since everyone kept telling me it felt like a different country entirely. I flew in directly and spent a full nine days…

Is Santorini Worth Visiting? Pros, Cons and Travel Tips (2026)
I added Santorini onto the same trip that took me to Mykonos, hopping a ferry south after my four days on Mykonos to see what all the fuss was actually about. I went back a second time the following June, this time flying in directly and staying a full week instead of rushing through in…
