  • The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague’s Jewish Quarter is the city’s oldest surviving Jewish burial ground. It dates back to the middle of the 15th century. Due to the fact that Jewish people were prohibited from burying their dead outside the Jewish Quarter, this graveyard is crammed with some 12,000 visible tombstones. It is estimated that there are 100,000 more bodies stacked up to 12 layers below ground. The graves were never relocated because Jewish traditions dictate not to move bodies after they are buried. The settling of the ground over time has created lopsided tombstones pointing in every direction, a most surreal sight that casts an eerily, yet beautiful spell. What do you think? Take a virtual tour through my latest blog “A Guide to Prague’s Historical Quarters: Jewish Quarter”.

  • Prague was been known to have many nicknames. The ‘city of a hundred spires’, ‘the magic city’, ‘the mother of cities’, ‘the city with 100 bell towers’, ‘the golden city’; and the ‘heart of Europe’. Travel to Prague, and you will instantly understand why. It is a captivating city full of beautiful buildings and historical sites just waiting to be explored. As part of a five-part travel blog series, I have focused on five historic areas that are a must see for any traveler going to Prague. This is the last one, the Jewish Quarter, a declared UNESCO World Heritage site. So, since we can’t travel to Prague, let me bring the Prague to you.

  • The virtual tour of “The Best Neighbourhoods in Lisbon” from my latest blog is coming to a close. We end with the bohemian neighbourhood of Bairro Alto. It is one of the coolest places in the city. This hilly neighbourhood is asleep by day, but comes alive by night. It has a high concentration of art shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, and hostels. It was one of my favourite places to roam. What has been your favourite neighbourhood?

  • We are continuing our virtual tour of “The Best Neighbourhoods in Lisbon” from my latest blog. This is our second last one, it’s the bustling neighbourhood of Chiado - where commercial and culture collide. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was turned into a shopping district, where museums, opera and theater houses were built. Thus, it is a mecca of people. What I loved the most was its cute shops and restaurants, especially ones that set up cozy tables in these staircases. At night the only source of light would be the soft glow of lanterns or string of lights with the fade sound of fado music playing somewhere. Ah, the memories.

  • We are still on a virtual tour of “The Best Neighbourhoods in Lisbon” featured in my latest blog. Have you been following along? This is the historic neighborhood centered on Castelo São Jorge, the castle that overlooks all of Lisbon. If you want to get the best view of Lisbon, then you need to visit here, as it’s the highest point in the city. Inside the castle walls, you will find quiet small streets filled with apartments, shops and a few cafes. Outside the castle walls, it spills into Graça, a lively neighborhood where locals sit on the street, where shop owners stand in doorways and talk to passersby.

  • We are taking a virtual tour of “The Best Neighbourhoods in Lisbon” in my latest blog. We are in the charming neighbourhood of Alfama, one of Lisbon’s oldest areas. It’s one of the few areas in the city that didn’t need to be completely rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake and that’s what makes this area so special. Wander through the maze of narrow, cobblestone winding streets, alleys and staircases. This part of the city has a distinct village feel and it’s where you will find some of the best street art. Not to be missed is visiting the 12th century Se Cathedral.

  • Who wants to take a virtual tour of “The Best Neighbourhoods in Lisbon”? In my latest blog, I share 6 of them. Let’s start with the tourist-friendly neighbourhood of Baixa. It’s where many of Lisbon’s main attractions can be found. This main part of the city was destroyed during the famous earthquake of 1755, but was immediately rebuilt later that century. It’s considered Lisbon’s downtown, with its close proximity to the riverfront. This is Terreiro do Paço, a large U-shaped square facing the Tagus river. It is surrounded by the bright yellow Praça do Comércio with the equestrian statue of King Jose sitting right in the middle. It may look quiet, but trust me, give it an hour after sunrise and it will be will be bustling with people.

  • Lisbon simply oozes old-world charm. Built on seven hills, this compact city is chock full of pretty pastel coloured buildings with their terra-cotta roofs all sloping towards the Tagus River. As a holidaymaker, Lisbon offers up some of the best neigbourhoods to explore. Street art, hip bars, trendy restaurants, boutique hotels, and fado music clubs, you’ll quickly see why it has been one of the hottest travel destinations in the last couple of years. My latest blog “The Best Neighbourhoods in Lisbon” takes you to my favourite 6. Follow along where I will feature each of them over the next several weeks.

  • A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine, A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind, A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be, A rose can say I miss you and wish you were here with me, A rose can say I'm sorry if I've hurt you in any way, A rose can say get well soon, May God bless you today, A rose can say I wish you happiness, and the best for you each day. A rose can say farewel when someone goes away, A rose can say hello, I'm thinking of you today, There's just so many wonderful things that a rose can say, A rose can say goodbye when a love one is laid to rest, No matter what there is to say, a rose can say it best. Poem by Margie Driver •• And to me, a rose is a reminder of my mom. Her love of gardening and always having such beautiful roses. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, may your day be as beautiful as a rose.•• Photos from my latest blog post “17 Photos to inspire you to visit Queralbs Spain”. • #queralbs #queralbsnúria #valldenuria #valldenúria #pyrenees #hikingpyrenees #mountains #mountaintown #spainmyworld #travelspain #visitspain #spain #españa #ig_spain #igersspain #catalunya #loves_spain #travelblogger #travelblog #mytravelgram #travelguide #momentsofmine #travelersnotebook #traveladvice #choosemountains #mountainview #mountainvillage #mountainlife #mountainvibes #mountain-hiking
