Last month we made a round trip through Slovakia, a rather unknown destination for travelers. Although its capital city, Bratislava, has become increasingly well-known to the general public since Slovakia became an independent state, much of the rest of the country remains a hidden secret. This is a shame, because here you will discover charming […]
A JEEP TOUR TO FIVE MOUNTAIN LAKES OF BJELASICA
A few weeks ago we were invited by our friends from RAMS Travel in Bijelo Polje to participate in a promotional trip concerning the implementation of the project „STIN – Sustainable Tourism in North Montenegro“, which is funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Goverment of Montenegro. The project is implemented by Trip […]
AN ADVENTUROUS ROAD TRIP THROUGH PIPERI
In the immediate surroundings of Podgorica is a mountain region called Piperi, which is mainly unknown to expats and tourists. Why unknown? I could mention several reasons: the roads are narrow and bumpy, without guardrails and absolutely not recommendable for people who suffer from fear of heights. Moreover, it is difficult to find your way, […]
3 AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN FORTRESSES IN MONTENEGRO
Have you ever thought of exploring the old Austro-Hungarian fortresses in Montenegro? Many of these fortresses are located along the Montenegrin Coast and most of them can be found around the Bay of Boka Kotorska. The majority of these buildings is abandoned and dilapidated, but some of them are well-preserved and worth visiting. And of […]
IMPRESSIONS OF ABU DHABI
As I have never travelled the Arab countries in the Middle East, I was very curious to visit Abu Dhabi, capital city of the United Arab Emirates. Each day it is easier and cheaper to travel the world – low-cost carrier Wizzair offers direct flights to Abu Dhabi from Tirana, 3x a week. With a […]
5 AMAZING PLACES IN HUNGARY
It was a great experience to make a round trip through Hungary in October. From thermal spas and fine Baroque architecture to dense forests and endless pusztas, this country appeared to be a marvelous travel destination. Apart from the highlights of Budapest (see DISCOVER BUDAPEST, PARIS OF THE EAST) and Hortobagyi National Park (see HORTOBAGY: […]
DISCOVER BUDAPEST, PARIS OF THE EAST
Did you know that Budapest is emerging as one of Central Europe’s most popular city destinations? During our stay in Hungary in October, we spent a long weekend in this fascinating city and we got convinced that it has a lot to offer: UNESCO World Heritage landmarks and monuments, fine architecture, good food and eventually […]
HORTOBAGY: A CARRIAGE TOUR THROUGH THE HUNGARIAN PUSZTA
One of the highlights of our recent round trip through Hungary was our visit to the Hortobagy National Park, registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1999. The park is situated at a distance of 190 km east of Budapest, and consists of a vast area of plains and wetlands (75,000 ha). I have […]
A GASTRO TOUR OFF THE BEATEN PATH
Last week I had the pleasure to accompany a small group of German tourists from the agency „Kunst & Kultur“ on a gastro tour through Montenegro. The tour was organized by Sabina and Musa Ramović, owners of RAMS Explorer from Bijelo Polje, an agency that is promoting – among other activities – rural tourism and […]
KOBAŠ, PELJEŠAC – PAST AND PRESENT
As we are spending our summer – as usual – in Slano, Southern Dalmatia, it is easy to visit the nearby peninsula of Pelješac, which is small enough to cover by car in one day (its length is 70 km only). Pelješac is connected with the mainland by the recently constructed Pelješac Bridge, while the […]
