Florence, Italy 4/2013
TWO TIPS FOR VISITING ROME
1. When you visit Vatican City, go to Vatican Museum first. The exposition finishes in Sistine Chapel. There are two exits from the chapel. If you use the one on the right side, you will get to the St. Peter´s Basilica directly without waiting in another queue. But you have to blend in some tourists group, because this exit is for groups only. Btw. St. Peter´s Basilica is for free and really worth of visit.
2. For visiting Colosseum you can do similar trick: buy a ticket for Palatino - Foro Romano. It is valid for Colosseum as well. And when you have the ticket once, you don´t have to wait in the queue in front of Colosseum a you go directly to the entrance.
These two tips can save you lot´s of time, which you can use for something more pleasant than waiting in a queue. Even though it wasn´t the main season, Rome was full of tourists this weekend and some places were so crowded, that it wasn´t worth visiting (the famous The Trevi Fountain or the Spanish Steps).
Budapest, Hungary 3/2013
Even though the weather was really chilly during Easter I spent beautiful three days in Budapest, Hungary. The city is full of breathtaking architecture, has more than 30 thermal spas and the second oldest subway in the world (still in use) is there. So you can imagine how tight our program was :)
If you find yourself in Budapest don´t miss a night cruise on the Danube. You will see the whole panorama in the nightlight. I recomend to buy a 24 hours ticket for a boat (Hop On-Hop Off). It costs like 10 USD and you can use the cruise during the day as a regular means of trasport and during the night enjoy the beautiful scenery…
Missing travelling… Hamburg, Germany, 2012
First sunny day in two weeks. The trip was perfect. It made me sure once again how great it is to travel in winter without all the crowded streets and noisy tourists…
And one epoch is over. To find something positive on leaving Germany I decided to make a stop in Berlin during my way home.
Unforgettable two days in Dresden with my sister. Can´t wait for Christmas to see her again!
Weihnachtsmarkt in Hamburg, Germany.
If you have the opportunity to visit the Weihnachtsmarkt in Hamburg these days, do not hasitate. It worth it :)
I´m here more than one month now, but I still enjoy how differently streets look in Wernigerode. One day I´ll build house like this and wikk live inside for the rest of my life :)
On friday I visited with my friends Oktoberfest in Hannover. It was great! We arrived too early, so we were the very first visitors on the festival. But during the evening fun started and we had perfect time there. If you are in Germany these days you should definitely visit one of the Oktoberfests (Munich, Hannover, Wernigerode and many others).
Today I bought the very first thing to make my dorm more personal. It is the biggest mug I´ve ever had!
(The translation: Good Morning, Sunshine!)
This beautiful view is from Wernigerode Castle. It was real indian summer today :)
I´m finally in Germany! Wernigerode is the most german like town I´ve ever seen. It looks like some place from german criminal serie :D It´s really lovely! All 34 exchange students are very nice too :) I´m very thrilled to study here!
Flying over the London… Wish I was there right now.
