Monaco.mc

Overlooking La Condamine harbour, with Monte Carlo in the background
Whilst this article will undoubtedly explore the main attractions of the tiny principality; as you can see from some of the photos, it is most definitively set against the backdrop of the ear-drum-breaking Grand Prix de Monaco.

Milan.it


Milan is undoubtedly the economic heart and fashion capital of Italy.

However among tourists, the city is often considered less interesting than Rome or Florence when it  comes to culture. Therefore this post will attempt to show that Milan is more than overpriced designer shops and dull office buildings.

Dubrovnik.hr


From Belfast to the Balkans; we now arrive in the walled city of Dubrovnik, on Croatia’s Adriatic coast.  An historic rival to Venice; to get a sense of its splendour, the poet Lord Byron once described it as “The Pearl of the Adriatic.”

Belfast.uk



Not an overly long while ago, Lonely Planet advised against travelling to the “four B’s” – Baghdad, Beirut, Bosnia, and Belfast. Oh how things have changed over the last decade and a half; Belfast is now generally recognised as one of the most hip places to see in the UK and Ireland. It came top in my recent poll for ‘next destination’ on this blog and is also my hometown, so I am pleased to provide my simple guide to the second city on the island of Ireland.

Budapest.hu


We now stop in Budapest, Hungary to take in one of my favourite European cities. Often overlooked, or at least not as popular as many of Europe's western cities, Budapest's regal charm (thanks to past glories) is one to savour.  It is a tale of two main cities (Buda and Pest) rolled into one.  Two distinct backgrounds, two differing alures; combined to ensure one great capital - and a definite must see.

Stockholm.se



The second stop we make on our journey around Europe is to Stockholm, Sweden.  So what does the largest city in Scandinavia offer to a curious traveller? Well, plenty - From its well preserved historical roots in Gamla Stan ('Old Town'), through to the picturesque archipelago (via its extensive variety of shopping); Stockholm has something for every traveller.
