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
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
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 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
Vienna's Easter markets are in full swing now, with beautifully decorated eggs and plenty of food and drink. Great to amble around in the sun, even though it was a bit chilly!!#solotravel #vienna #eastermarkets #traveltheworldwithme
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
Beautiful day to have another amble around the gardens at Schonbrunn Palace after exploring the Imperial Apartments, in another month these gardens will be in full bloom☀️☀️☀️#schönbrunnpalace #schönbrunnschloss #palacegardens #solotrip
Just blew the days food budget on Sacher Torte and Coffee at the Sacher Hotel because......why not??? Priorities, priorities!!#sachertorte #sacherhotel #solotrip #traveltheworldwithme
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
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
Dinner at the Parisi Passage, a historic gem from the 1800s inspired by Parisian arcades, it withstood bombing raids but faced neglect post-war, now revived as a stunning hotel with an incredible restaurant and bar.#solotravel #parisipassage #parisipassagebudapest #párisipassagecaféandbrasserie
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
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
The best part of the day trip from Vienna to Bratislava was the boat trip back to Vienna on the Danube!! The hydofoiling catamaran was fast, about 90 minutes, the crew were great. It was freezing cold and windy outside, but I couldn't help myself, I just had to keep going out to take photos, then running back in to sip my wine 🥂!!!Great for solo travelers, I met so many other travellers onboard.#cruisingonthedanube #twinliner #solotravel #traveltheworldwithme
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
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
.....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
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
As promised, a beautiful sunny Easter Sunday in Vienna ☀️☀️☀️ After being in Palermo last Easter, where it was underwhelming, Vienna really knows how to take Easter to the extreme!!!#easterinvienna #eastermarkets #soloadventure #vienna
Vienna is magnificent to just wander around aimlessly, the buildings, the parks, everything, just perfect.#vienna #solotravel #solotrip #traveltheworldwithme
The crowds were out in force in London on a gloomy Boxing Day so just a quick visit to Trafalgar Square, then back to Piccadilly area, through Princes Arcade, which drew me in with the tailoring/sewing/fashion decorations and up past Fortnums. #trafalgarsquare #princesarcadepiccadilly #fortnums #londonatchristmastime #londoncalling
Back to Schonbrunn Palace to see the Imperial Apartments. Gold was definitely the order of the day ✨️ but I reckon I could live there quite comfortably with a few more mod cons!! #schönbrunnpalace #imperialapartments #traveltheworldwithme #solotrip
The Design Museum over in South Kensington, the 'Malta' paving stone was front and centre!!#londondesignmuseum #southkensington #seeeverythingdoeverything #londonlife
Just opened my curtains to see this beautiful sunrise ✨️over Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. Beautiful colours to start the day, I was just in time to catch it, those peach colours are no longer there!#londonsunrise #bigben #westminsterabbey #londoneye #housesofparliament
Hofburg Palace, the Habsburgs' stunning Vienna residence until 1918. Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth (Sisi) indulged in royal luxury here and spent summers at Schonbrunn Palace. What a life!#hofburgvienna #sisimuseum #soloadventure #vienna
Finally a sunny day in Budapest, strolling on Margrit Island, great weather, no complaints, perfect!#margritisland #budapest #soloadventure #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
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
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
Everywhere you look in Budapest the buildings are amazing ✨️ so ornate, full of character, luckily the city is very walkable!!#budapestarchitecture #budapest #solotravel #walkingthestreets
Caught the train from Vienna to Bratislava for a day trip. Walking up the hill to visit the castle is not for the faint hearted!! And the walk back down 🥴 brutal on the dodgy knee!!! But I made it 😃!!!#bratislava #daytripfromvienna #daytripfromviennatobratislava #traveltheworldwithme #solotravel
Strolling through the tranquil Palermo Botanic Gardens took me to this lovely glass house, complete with a statue of the Genius of Palermo with a giant snake biting his chest, then on to ponds full of lily pads. The gardens are just down the hill from the station, and a peaceful escape from the gritty, grubby city centre.#palermo #solotrip #solotravel #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #traveltheworldwithme #seeeverythingdoeverything #palermosicily #palermobotanicalgarden #thegeniusofpalermo
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
More sculptures in the streets, and I found another one of the minitures that are dotted all over the city. It's hard to tell what it is, but perched on the wall near the castle, the little guy in the last photo is looking through his telecope at the city below!!#streetsculptures #budapest #artinthe streets #solotravel
