Italy’s train network is one of the best in Europe, and it’s the easiest, cheapest and most sustainable way to travel between cities. We’ve used trains for every trip we’ve taken to Italy – Rome to Florence, Florence to Venice, Naples to Pompeii – and we’d always choose them over renting a car for a…
Getting hit with £92 in roaming charges after a week in Belgium wasn’t the best end to our holiday. We learnt our lesson, and so we tested 12+ eSIM providers across 8 European countries over the past year. eSIMs let you avoid roaming fees entirely – you’ll have local data the moment you land, without…
Rome is one of those cities where the hardest part isn’t what to see – it’s what to leave out. Four days sounds generous until you open a map and realise everything you’ve ever heard of is apparently “unmissable”. It’s a brilliant city to visit – but it’s big, and there’s a lot to do….
November often gets overlooked as a travel month, but we think it’s actually one of the best times to visit Europe – especially if you’re choosing between the best European destinations for November rather than defaulting to peak-season trips. The summer crowds have gone and winter’s peak holiday rush hasn’t yet begun, and so November offers authentic…
Bucharest’s Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) is just outside Bucharest, but getting into the city itself is straightforward once you know the options. There are several easy ways to travel from Bucharest airport to the city centre: public transport via train or bus, ride-hailing apps, licensed taxis or a private transfer. The best choice depends…
Leaving the hustle of Florence behind for a few hours and drifting into the gentle hills of Tuscany was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. If you’re in Florence and want a day out of the city, a wine-tour day-trip is ideal: vineyards, olive groves, historic estates, local producers, authentic Tuscan lunch…
Looking for a European city break that’s cultural, charming, and easy to explore? Most people skip over Lille for Paris or Bruges, but it’s definitely worth a visit – even if you can only spend the weekend in Lille. Compact, walkable, and full of beautiful Flemish architecture, Lille is perfect for a city break or…
Although most people visit Auschwitz on a group tour, it’s easy to get the train and visit Auschwitz from Kraków independently. This guide walks you step by step through the process: how to reserve your ticket, the exact train you’ll need, what to expect when you arrive, and the little details (like bag rules and…
Taking the Eurostar from London to Belgium is one of the quickest and most convenient ways to cross the Channel. In just over two hours, you can swap London St Pancras for Brussels Midi, and from there, connect to Bruges, Ghent, or Antwerp. If you’ve never taken the Eurostar before, the process can feel a…
When we first went to Bucharest we didn’t know much about Romania. In the UK (and perhaps elsewhere) it’s maybe (unfairly) associated with the Romanian orphanage crisis in the 90’s (Romania has improved its child services and is one of the best in Europe now). We didn’t know what to expect, but found an interesting…
