I visited Budapest, the charming Hungarian capital on the Danube river, in the summer of 2009. My stay featured tours of the central areas, mountaintop views, a river cruise and sampling of the great local foods. The city is divided into two parts by the river (Buda and Pest) and is surrounded by high hills. […]
This is the quaint capital city of Latvia, in the Baltic regions of Northern Europe. I visited this city twice (in 2011 & 2022) and posted photos here from the most recent trip only. I had a rental car here and was able to drive around different parts of the city that most tourists may […]
I visited the Polish capital in 2011 and again in 2022, clearly seeing how it has grown into over that period into a modern metropolis. The new downtown area now resembles large American cities but also Warsaw has kept its colorful, historic old town fully intact & vibrant. The firs group are photos from the […]
This is the lively capital city of Romania, in Eastern Europe. I visited here back in 2011 and more recently 2021, mainly exploring the center area full of cafes and shops. First are some high views of the city from the hotel I stayed in: Next is the bustling old center area with lots of […]
I visited this cute little city in July 2009 and again in 2022 (photos are from the most recent visit). Ljubljana is quite popular with European tourists in the summer months, albeit not too crowded. It was busing with liveliness and music, and its fortunate setting under mountains and along a riverbank helps it create […]
The Dutch capital is famous for its endless waterways, masses of bikes, street culture, nightlife, and “special” pastries! Here are some various photos from around the city central/touristic areas, taken from summer 2015 & 2022. Next are some modern business/shopping areas a bit outside the center — who knew those existed here? 🙂 I stayed […]
I visited the German capital in the summer of 2015, and was amazed by its colorful mix of historic and modern buildings. I took open bus and river cruise tours to make sure I saw more parts of the city and entered a few museums as well. Berlin is quite easy to get around with […]
I visited Albania in the fall of 2016. It’s a quaint and inexpensive place with lots of history, culture, and great foods fused from Balkan and Italian styles. Another thing that caught my attention here was the very colorful apartment buildings and floral arrangements all of over town. Cities are shown in this post are […]
I was truly impressed with Glasgow as a modern design city and shopping hub, as I had expected to see an old and slow place. You will see below the astounding amount of modern architecture, shopping centers, and active people lining the streets. I visited here in October 2012 and the weather was mostly rainy/windy, […]
I visited Copenhagen, capital of Denmark in 2013 and again in 2023 (photos are from the latest visit). The weather was nice and sunny most days, so I got a chance to take many bright and clear pictures. I stayed there a few days and had a chance to take a full open-top bus tour […]
