  • The 7 Most Beautiful Villages in Provence There is a reason why so many artists flock to Provence for inspiration – whether it is to capture its beauty through a paint brush or poetic prose, I now know why. The tall cypress trees, shimmering valleys, countless vineyards, daily markets, pretty villages and of course, the endless fields of lavender and sunflowers. Yes, the secret is out…Provence is beautiful.

  • The Distillery District is a large commercial area (13 acres) that today, is full of cafés, restaurants, art galleries, shops and a microbrewery all housed within 40+ heritage buildings of the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery making it the largest collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture in North America.• The Gooderham and Worts Distillery was founded in 1832 and by the late 1860s was the largest distillery in the world, providing over 2 million gallons of whisky, mostly for export on the world market.• The Distillery District, designated as a National Historic Site, should be on your must-see list when visiting Toronto.

  • When you find yourself in Malá Strana, or Lesser Town, one of the monuments you are likely to find is the Holy Trinity Column. The Holy Trinity means the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Like other plague colums this one was created as an expression of gratitude for the fact that the plague epidemy in Prague during which many people died was over in 1713. The Lesser Town councillors got the column created in 1715, however some plastics were not added until the famine in 1772. The huge pedestal itself is made of sandstone and reaches 20 metres high.• Want to learn more, check out my latest blog ‘A Guide to Prague’s Historical Quarters: Malá Strana’• • • • • • #malastrana #lessertown #prague #praha #czechrepublic #czech #praguestagram #igerscz #igersprague #iglifecz #praguelife #insta_prague #pragueworld #instaprague #loves_czech #pragueworld #igerscz #instaczech #czech_world #tistravellife #travelguide #travelblogger #travelblog #mytravelgram #traveljunkiediary #momentsofmine #travelersnotebook #theculturetrip #neverstopexploring
  • As you cross the Charles Bridge, after coming through the Lesser Town Tower you are in the historic area of Malá Strana; and this is your view.

  • At the end of Charles Bridge are the Malá Strana Bridge Towers. The two towers do not match, as they were built 200 years apart. The smaller tower was built in the 12th century. Named the Judith Tower, it was part of the Judith Bridge before it was destroyed by floods in 1342. The tower was used as a jail for two centuries and later housed the customs office. The taller of the two towers was constructed as part of Charles Bridge, but wasn’t actually completed until a century after it, in 1464. This tower was mainly used as a storehouse and a watchtower. Connecting the two towers is a 15th century arched stone gate, creating a dramatic entrance to Malá Strana.

  • Standing on the cliffs of the Ponta da Piedade where all you hear is the soaring sound of the wind and crashing waves against the dramatic limestone coastline where mother nature has created these rock arches, pillars and hidden grottos. For as far as the eye can see are these golden coloured cliffs and turquoise sea. One word to describe it all...stunning.
