Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße
I'm a little surprised there isn't already a review of this site, as it's slated for inclusion in 2019 and also one of the most visited locations in Austria. The …

San Cristobal de La Laguna
This was our first World Heritage site on the Canary Islands, and proved to be quite interesting. It was one of Spain's first overseas colonies, and the city's layout was …

Tower of Hercules
Probably our shortest World Heritage site visit so far, even shorter than the plague column in Olomouc! The tower itself is very impressive, though most of what you can see …

Decorated cave of Pont d'Arc
This was a fantastic site visit for us. It's home to the famous Chauvet Cave, only discovered in 1994 and home to paintings dating back almost 30,000 years. It's amazing …

Mount Etna
It's hard to even know where to start with a colossal site like Mount Etna. We decided to base ourselves in the town of Trecastagni, and as luck would have …

Vegaøyan
This was quite a tricky site to visit, as it's a fair way off the usual Norwegian tourist itinerary. We spent two nights in a small campground in Salhus, halfway …

This was a difficult site to truly appreciate. I think it's quite difficult to really grasp the subtleties and nuances behind the Appellation of Controlled Origin moniker without tasting lots …

Royal Palace at Caserta
It's not as big as I expected! That's probably your first thought when you see it on the walk over from the train station. It's further away than you think, …

Arab-Norman Palermo
Palermo is a fascinating place. Despite being the capital of Sicily, it was the last major city we visited on the island and for the first time in months it …

Ivrea
My wife and I visited Ivrea in January 2018 on a sunny winter's afternoon. It's an easy one hour train ride from Turin's two main stations, and trains leave about …

My wife and I visited Brugge (Bruges) in August 2017. I'd visited just over 12 years earlier, and little seemed to have changed. It's still very beautiful, still very touristy, …
