The most magical reindeer ride through the forest path!

The small but perfectly-formed wellness and spa zone with salt-water Jacuzzi in the garden, alpine-style swimming pool, saunas, steam bath and massages invites the entire family to relax and while away the hours.  Free WIFI throughout the hotel, free parking on-site, pick-up service at the rail station on arrival and departure, and the private ski bus in the mornings during the winter season complete our offerings.

The steepest funicular in Europe up to the top of Gelmersee lake! Amazing views!

Canoeing on Lake Louise - rent a canoe from the Boathouse at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

The famous historical fortress that has been featured in Star Wars and Game of Thrones

Historic fort next to Dubrovnik Old Town with studding views if the sea and Dubrovnik walls. Famously featured in movies.

Large three star hotel with conference facilities and good WiFi. Solid digital nomad base 👌🏻

Fun tourist boat trip from the harbour. Pretty standard boat trip. Lots of sun, swimming and strong wine

Wine bar in the pretty village of Primošten, the outdoor seating spots have an incredible view of the sunset. Watch the yachts roll in to moor for the night and local fisherman take thier catches direct to the local restaurants. The organic wines should reduce that hangover too

Of all the bars on Split's main seafront promenade Olive Tree seems to be one of the most popular (maybe because it opens 'till 1am). It's a modern, cool, sassy joint with great cocktails. 

During the day there's a large cafe out front and i heard rumours there is a rooftop bar

Worth visiting this place and taking a look at this interesting architecture!

Huge market with various Dutch goodies! Restaurants and bars to visit as you look up at the large overhanging ceiling filled with art!

The colours in Switzerland are like no other! From the blue lakes to the green grass. Switzerland looks exactly like it does in the photos.

Iseltwald is a stunning small town on the edge of Lake Brienzee and is also nearby the very famous Lauterbrunnen.

This is the best waterfall in the south of Iceland and its particularity is that you can go behind it. Absolutely a fantasy!
Carpark is not free and it nearby the ring road

Iconic city sign welcoming you to Braga – a snapshot of Portugal’s charm.

Steps taking you to the top of the sanctuary, architecture is beautiful!

Exciting husky sled rides and Arctic adventures in Rovaniemi, Lapland.

Copper Mountain Ski Resort on West Main Street in Frisco, Colorado, is a premier ski destination known for its diverse terrain, family-friendly atmosphere, and reliable snow conditions. It offers year-round mountain activities and up-to-date weather and snow reports for visitors.

Avoriaz ski park featuring small to medium-sized jumps — ideal for freestyle skiers and snowboarders looking to practice in a fun and accessible environment.

Lively après-ski spot with live music, top DJs, great food, drinks, and an unforgettable party atmosphere right on the slopes!

Need more to elaborate. One of the famous GOT location.

Words can’t describe how absolutely mind blowing it is to walk here. Feels like a completely different world￼

Bring your raincoat and good shoes to hike the stairs up to the top of the waterfall!

One of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland. The walk behind is great.

Impressive waterfall in a cave that can be accessed and seen up close.

The most extreme and safest thing to climb are these great mountains with beautiful landscapes

 Both the winery and the brewery of Latitude 20 have just visited. At the winery you will find wines from all over the world.

Aunque es la hermana pequeña de la Ópera Garnier de Paris, sigue siendo una maravilla. This Christmas is the face decorated with colorful lights.

An interesting and pintoresco bar. Wines, cocktails, coffees,… at low prices. Relaxed atmosphere and terrace.

Beautiful black sand beach with a backdrop of beautiful mountains and a perfect spot to catch the northern lights
