Visiting Versailles is inevitable when you are visiting Paris. I took the 45 min train and decided to go for a one day trip. It all started as a humble hunting lodge in 1624 by Louis XIII, and then when king Louis XIV decided to move the residence from the center of Paris to build the Palace of Versailles. The entrance looks pretty amaizing: the … Continue reading Versailles castle, France

In 2025 The area’s development is linked to the Austro-Hungarian rule, with the Provincial Government taking over the spa in 1885, contributing to its development.

This city in your 30’s hits different. I have decided to spend one weekend again in this city, focusing on Amsterdam’s history and politics from 16th century and onwards, when Amsterdam experienced a period of growth during the late 16th century, becoming a major trading hub for goods such as spices and textiles. This growth hit the stone to the liberalism as we know today. … Continue reading Amsterdam (̅_̅_̅(̅(̅_̅_̅_̅_̅_̅̅()ڪ
Finishing our Route de Champagne, my friend Petra and I spent the entire day exploring Reims, a city in the Grand Est region of France. It was a hot sunday but worth of evey walk through the city.
