At the top of Wencelas Square stands the National Museum in Prague, an impressive building with breathtaking views from the Cupola.#praguenationalmuseum #solotravel #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
Even if Fortnum & Mason on Piccadilly is too packed with people to fit inside, the outside of the building and the window displays are worth seeing.#fortnums #piccadilly #londonatchristmastime #solotravel #traveltheworldwithme
A crowd gathers every hour to watch the Astronomical Clock in Prague put on a show 😂 Then some people clap and cheer, and some people laugh in an 'is that it' kind of way.#prague #astronomicalclockprague🏰 #solotravel #traveltheworldwithme #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
Started off this morning heading to a market, but as I was passing St Stephen's Basilica, the bells were ringing to signal a service was about to start. I figured that would be the way to get in without paying the hefty admission charge ✨️I took a few quick photos before things got underway! Then realised I was the only person there who didn't know the words, or the actions, so when everyone stood up as part of their routine, as I was in the back row, I just backed out completely.....#ststephensbasilica #budapest #solotravel #sundayinbudapest
Went to the stangest market in Vienna at Rathausplatz. Every one of the stalls sold wine, a few sold food, there were people everywhere in national dress, some holding, but no one playing, musical instruments......and Verstappen's F1 car!!???#traveltheworldwithme #eastermarkets #vienna #viennaeaster
Finally a sunny day in Budapest, strolling on Margrit Island, great weather, no complaints, perfect!#margritisland #budapest #soloadventure #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
Exploring Prague with lots of walking and lots of tram rides! Walking across Charles Bridge, up to the castle, through Lesser Town, into New Town, and historic Old Town.#prague #praguelife #solotravel #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #seeeverythingdoeverything
As usual, when it cones to museums, I usually find the building more interesting than the exhibits!! Vienna Natural History Museum was no exception!!#viennanaturalhistorymuseum #vienna #solotrip #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
Everywhere you look in Budapest the buildings are amazing ✨️ so ornate, full of character, luckily the city is very walkable!!#budapestarchitecture #budapest #solotravel #walkingthestreets
Memorial to the Jews who were rounded up during WWII, they were lined up on the edge of the Danube, forced to remove their shoes, then they were shot in the back and their bodies fell into the river.......#shoesonthedanube #solotravel #busapest #traveltheworldwithme
Had a quick run around Prague after a 4 hour train trip from Vienna. I was last in Prague 9 years ago, all seems familiar except Wencelas Square....apart from the statue of Good King Wencelas on his horse, the rest of the square that used to be an elegant collection of historic buildings, hotels, cafes, etc......has now turned into Oxford Street, London...Primark, C&A, Half Price, the list goes on......who thought that was a good idea????#prague #solotravel #traveltheworldwithme #charlesbridgeprague
.....further to my previous post. I walked past Hochstrahlbrunne, a fountain built in 1873 to celebrate the opening of Vienna's high pressure water system. Then once I arrived at Schloss Belvedere, I found that this was not the place to be at Easter. There was one long queue to buy a ticket to stand in one of 3 other long queues to get in!!! Even one of the staff on crowd control said he had never seen it like this - I'll go back after the Easter weekend crowds have left.#vienna #viennaeaster #soloteavel #changeofplans
Budapest's streets are full of art✨️ apparently there are mini sculptures scattered everywhere, and I've found one of them so far!! The hunt continues.....#artinthestreets #budapest #solotrip #neverstopexploring
The streets of Valletta, Malta. Endless hours of exploring this amazing place. A wonderful place for solo travellers, easy to get around and very safe. Something for everyone, especially for history buffs!!#solotrip #traveltheworldwithme #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #solotravelinmalta
Cesky Krumlov, a quaint medieval town in the south of the Czech Republic, a simple day trip by train from Prague....then lots and lots of walking on cobble stone paths!!#ceskykrumlov #daytripfromprague #solotrip #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
After visiting the Easter Markets at Schonbrunn Palace , I went for a walk up through the gardens, all the way up to the 'Gloriette' at the top of the hill way off in the distance. The Gloriette was built in 1775 for no other reason than the view - when the Habsburgs were sitting on the balcony of their summer Schloss, they wanted something nice to look at, so they had the Gloriette built along with a few ponds and fountains. The world became a better place!!#schönbrunnpalace #schönbrunnschloss #solotravel #habsburgfamilyresidence #vienna
Just blew the days food budget on Sacher Torte and Coffee at the Sacher Hotel because......why not??? Priorities, priorities!!#sachertorte #sacherhotel #solotrip #traveltheworldwithme
The fairytale world of Castle District, perched high above the Danube on the Buda side. Hours of leisurely strolling are a must!! My solo adventures in Budapest continue...#budapestcastledistrict #budapest #solotrip
In the London Bridge area on the south side of the Thames, after visiting the Versace exhibition at The Arches, I walked down past The Shipwrights Arms across to Hay's Galleria....used to be Hay's Wharf....now shops, restaurants, Christmas stalls, and a giant Christmas Tree.
Arriving in Vienna, I found my hotel at set off exploring the neighbourhood, the architecture is all gobsmacking, but hard to get far enough away from to photograph!! #vienna #traveltheworldwithme #neverstopexploring #solotravel
Went to the Gianni Versace exhibition over at The Arches, near London Bridge ✨️ Not many people there, so a lovely break from the crowds.#gianniversace #thearches #londonbridge #highfashiom #londonlife
Had lunch in one of London's oldest pubs yesterday, on Fleet St, not far from St Paul's. Re-built in 1667 after the original Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub went up in flames in the great fire of London the previous year🔥I've had better fish and chips in older London pubs - The Prospect of Whitby and The Mayflower - but still very nice to sit by the fire, then explore the rabbit warren of areas in this pub, knowing people have been drinking here for nearly 400 years.#yeoldecheshirecheese #londonpublunch #historiclondon #solotravelinlondon #londonlife
Aimlessly wandering around the streets of Prague - beautiful💖#prague #praguelife #solotrip #praguearchitecture
It's a museum kind of day in Vienna, 2 to 5 degrees, we've had a bit of snow, a bit of sleet, a bit of rain and a lot of cold ❄️❄️❄️The Furniture Museum is a collection of furnture and other items from the Imperial Palaces, including a display of the toilets from the day.The museum holds huge stores of furniture that they lend out for movies, plays and other events needing furnishings from that era.#viennafurnituremuseum #coldday❄️ #solotravel #traveltheworldwithme
Chilly morning in Vienna today, but apparently its going to warm up big time tomorrow! First stop Naschmarkt, then strolling past Karlskirche on my way to Schloss Belvedere.......#naschmarkt #karlskirche #solotravel #traveltheworldwithme
Vienna is magnificent to just wander around aimlessly, the buildings, the parks, everything, just perfect.#vienna #solotravel #solotrip #traveltheworldwithme
On a chilly Budapest morning, but the blue sky was a nice touch ✨️. I was planning to visit the Hungarian Parliament Building today... but Saturday crowds got the best of me! The exterior of this building is stunning, can't wait to explore the inside. #solotravel #hungarianparliamentbuilding #budapest #budapestarchitecture
Porto Nuovo, or 'new gate', was built in the 15th century, but after a fire, the current gate was built in 1669. Guess 'new' is relative! This spot became a hub for me - markets nearby, lovely parks and the bus stop to other towns like Monreale, was just through here. Located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Palermo.To read about the places I stayed on my solo adventure to Malta and Sicily, click the link to my website in the bio.#palermo #palermosicily #Sicily #portonuovo #soloadventure #solotravelinsicily #traveltheworldwithme #solotrip #seeeverythingdoeverything #sicilianhistory #neverstoptravelling
Walking from Bratislava train station to the town centre takes 15 minutes, passing through a park and by the parliament buildings before reaching the historic cobblestone streets.This is where the touristification of the town kicks in, every shop is a restaurant or souvenier shop.Even the castle is a remake of what they think tourists want to see....we actually want to see the original castle!!#bratislava #streetsofbratislava #solotravel #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
The Design Museum over in South Kensington, the 'Malta' paving stone was front and centre!!#londondesignmuseum #southkensington #seeeverythingdoeverything #londonlife
The Hungarian Parliament Building from across the Danube at night ❄️ It was a freezing cold evening, but a quick trip under the Danube on the Metro to get a few photos is just what needs to he done!#hungarianparliamentbuilding #budapest #soloteavel #traveltheworldwithme
London at Christmas time goes over the top with decorations ✨️ if it can be decorated it is ☃️🎄 Leadenhall Market🎄 Covent Garden🎄 Liberty of London🎄 Burlington Arcade🎄 The Ritz
Czech artist, David Cerney, famous for his politically opinionated art works.✨️Here showing King Wencelas riding an upside down dead horse into battle. Hanging in the Lucerna Palace, Prague.✨️Then 2 men (politicians??) pissing on the Czech Republic!! This one is outside the Kafka Museum across the Charles Bridge.#davidčerney #politicalart #prague #solotrip
On my solo adventure in Palermo, Quattro Canti became a familiar spot I visited almost daily ✨️ This iconic intersection of Via Maqueda and Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the center of the city's historic quarters - Kalsa, Seralcadi, Albergaria, and Castellammare all meet here. In the evenings, it's the perfect spot to soak up the atmosphere and plan a night out at one of the many restaurants on Via Maqueda.#solotravelinsicily #palermo #traveltheworldwithme #solotrip #quattrocantipalermo
Explored the stunning Belvedere Palace in Vienna, a former imperial residence that's truly breathtaking. The gardens were gorgeous, especially with the ponds and fountains coming to life now that winter's loosening its grip, slightly....!!#belvedere #schlossbelvedere #vienna #solotrip #traveltheworldwithme
St Matthias Church in the Castle District near Fisherman's Bastion. Climb the steep stone spiral staircase for a stunning view into the main church and explore the artifacts on display. This historic church dates back to the 11th century.#solotrip #stmatthiaschurch #budapestcastledistrict
