Everyone knows the famous museums in Europe, like the Louvre in Paris. But, if you’re looking for something off the beaten museum path, here are five of the most obscure museums worth your time.
Located in the triangle between Bayreuth, Nuremberg and Bamberg is a piece of natural bliss — Franconian Switzerland. Known as Fränkische Schweiz in German, this forested area has numerous caves, castles and hiking trails.
Just across the river on the other side of the soaring skyscrapers crowding Canary Wharf is the maritime heart of London. Sitting on the southeast edge of the city is a borough steeped in rich history, international renown and sweeping vistas of the capitol’s skyline, Welcome to Greenwich.
As the days grow shorter, the temperatures drop and kids get ready to go back to school (hopefully), take time out of your busy schedule for one last summer trip. Let the warmth of the sun relax you on the beach or visit a castle that you’ve been dying to see.
At some point in time, virtually all military families have endured assignments that weren’t quite their cup of tea. It could be due to location, moving away from dear friends, or leaving favorite schools.
If you’ve been searching for the perfect city to visit that won’t break the bank, look no further. Poznan, Poland is full of colorful buildings, 16th-century houses and incredibly inexpensive food. The towering churches, stunning palace and modern zoo are sure to hold your attention.
Heidelberg has charm, Cologne a cathedral, Frankfurt its skyscrapers and Stuttgart is the home of some fancy automobiles. So what’s the often-overlooked city of Bonn got to offer? Fans of art, architecture and culture are in for a pleasant surprise here!
So you’d fantasized your time spent stationed in Germany would be a wonderful springboard to exploring all of Europe. That was prior to 2020, when the world revealed it had other plans for you.
So, you just got word that you’re being stationed in Italy. You and your family have passports in hand and are ready to see what the European lifestyle is all about. Well, brace yourselves; Italy can be very overwhelming, especially to the newly arrived.
If you grew up in a land-locked state as I did, a day at the beach meant piling into the station wagon without air conditioning and driving at least six hours in the sweltering Texas heat.
Being stationed in the United Kingdom, I always seem to find myself looking to vacation elsewhere. With cheap flights to mainland Europe on the rise, staying home may not be your first choice for a break. However, who says you need to jet off to Europe for an escape?
Get ready to enjoy your tea and crumpets; you're moving to England! Although thinking all British locals drive mini coopers and drink tea while munching on crumpets is a stereotype, some things are true about moving to England.
It’s easy to get caught up in seeing the major cities in Germany. There are so many choices of dynamic and iconic cityscapes. One would be remiss if they overlooked spending a day in the charming city of Würzburg.
ABOUT THE CITY
During spring break, my family decided to take a jaunt up to Edinburgh, Scotland for a few days. Unbeknownst to me, I inadvertently booked our lodging on Cockburn Street.
