Where to Stay in Milan: The Best Neighborhoods for Your Visit

Posted : 3/28/2024 | March 28th, 2024 Milan is a popular destination for travelers who are into fashion and design. But there’s a lot of history and culture here too. The city was both the former capital of the Western Roman Empire and influential during the Italian Renaissance. I consider it a must-visit stop on any trip around Italy . As the country’s second largest city (over 6 million people live here), where you stay during your visit will have a big impact on your trip. While it’s pretty easy to get around the city, you don’t want to spend all your time in transit. Instead, you’ll want to pick an area that’s close to where you want to spend the majority of your time. To help you do just that, here’s my list of the best neighborhoods in Milan for travelers: Area Best for Best Hotel Centro Storico First-Time Visitors B&B Hotel Milano Sant’Ambrogio See More hotels Brera Arts & Culture Brera Prestige B&B See More hotels Navigli Nightlife & F

The 6 Best Hotels in Prague

Posted : 3/28/24 | March 28th, 2024 Prague is one of my favorite cities in Europe . Ever since my first visit in 2006, I’ve loved coming here. The winding cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and spacious squares give the city an unrivaled historic allure. Since my first visit, the city has skyrocketed in popularity. It gets crowded in the summer and there are now tons of hotels to choose from. I’ve stayed in a bunch of them over the years, so to help you plan your visit, here’s my list of the best hotels in Prague: 1. Hotel Metamorphis This four-star hotel is located in a historic building right near the Old Town Square. The rooms are bright, spacious, and airy, with a lot of natural light. The décor is a little dated, but the rooms feature light colors and distinct touches, such as exposed beams or unique tiles. Rooms also include a flatscreen TV, minibar, desk, and coffee maker. The bathrooms look a little dated but they are super spacious. A tasty breakfast with eggs, me

The 6 Best Hotels in Budapest

Posted : 3/28/24 | March 28th, 2024 I didn’t know what to expect when I first visited Budapest . I thought it would a drab, bland city, owing to its Communist past. Fortunately, I was wrong. Once under the radar, Budapest has been growing in popularity thanks to its affordability and its lively nightlife. The city also has photogenic architecture and layers of interesting history, making it a well-rounded choice for anyone visiting Europe . I’ve been visiting the city for over a decade and always have an amazing time. I love the city so much I used to run tours here! Naturally, I’ve stayed at countless hotels over the years. Here’s my list of the best hotels in Budapest: 1. Bohem Art Hotel Staying here feels like you’re staying in an art gallery. This four-star hotel has a very retro design. I especially love the art in the lounge and rooms (there are lots of unique photos and murals). The hotel is right near the river too, as well as the popular Váci utca pedestrian shopping

The Best Walking Tours in Florence

Posted : 3/27/2024 | March 27, 2024 Florence is one of the most popular cities in Italy . Its stunning Renaissance architecture gives it an iconic look, and the abundance of art could keep any traveler busy for weeks. There’s the Galleria de Uffizi, which holds some of the world’s most important Renaissance pieces; Michelangelo’s David , one of the most recognizable works in the world; and the towering Duomo, a Gothic cathedral and UNESCO World Heritage Site. To see it all and learn about this beautiful destination, I always like to take a walking tour (or three!) while I’m here. I think walking tours are a great way to learn about a place and see some non-touristy sites. And Florence has a lot of them! From introductory free tours to in-depth history and food tours, here’s my list of the best walking tours in Florence. Best Overall Tour Learn More Take Walks Take Walks is my go-to tour company in Italy, offering access to places that no other gets and featuring incredib

The 6 Best Hotels in Vienna

Posted : 3/21/24 | March 21st, 2024 I think Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe . The historic core of the city is a massive UNESCO Heritage Site brimming with incredible museums, beautiful galleries, and sprawling Baroque palaces. The city is a history buff’s dream and there’s a lot more to see and do here . There’s an incredible café culture, a nearby wine region, tons of amazing eateries, awesome live music (including world-class opera), and much more. I’ve been coming here for years and I never get tired of visiting. (I love the city so much I used to run tours here!) Naturally, I’ve stayed at countless hotels during my visits. Here’s my list of the best hotels in Vienna: 1. Hotel-Pension Wild This two-star hotel is one of the few affordable lodgings in the city center. It has simple but bright rooms that feature comfortable beds, plenty of space, and large windows that let in a lot of natural light. The design is a bit dated (the carpeted rooms don’t look

How to Experience Milwaukee Like a Local

Posted : 3/15/2024 | March 15th, 2024 The following guest post is by my friends Adam from the website Getting Stamped . He and his wife are long time residents of Milwaukee and, since I’ve never been, I’ve invited him on to share some tips about visiting the city. Milwaukee is underrated, in my opinion. I love it! The largest city in Wisconsin and only 1.5 hours north of Chicago, it is the perfect size: not too small not too big. It offers tasty food and drinks, great sports teams, and fun festivals. Plus, it’s affordable. And don’t forget the friendly locals! I have lived here my whole life, and my wife has lived here for 20 years. We’ve traveled around the world many times, and when it came time to plant roots and start a family, we could have gone anywhere. But we choose to come home to Milwaukee, which has so much to offer. If you want to know how to experience it like a local, here are my insider tips:   1. Stay central I highly recommend staying downtown or the Third Wa

The 5 Best Hotels in Singapore

Posted : 3/15/2024 | March 15th, 2024 Singapore is one of my favorite cities in the world. It has an iconic skyline of futuristic skyscrapers, lush green spaces, and is one of the best foodie hubs in the region. The markets here are brimming with cheap hawker stalls, including stalls offering some of the most affordable Michelin-starred meals in the world. But Singapore is expensive. It’s easy to blow your budget here. While you can get cheap meals, accommodation will eat away at your budget. Over the years, I’ve stayed at countless hotels in Singapore, so today I want to share my list of the best hotels in Singapore: 1. The Scarlet This award-winning four-star hotel is in Chinatown, my favorite area of the city. It’s spread across restored 19th-century shophouses and an Art Deco building from the 1920s (you can’t miss its distinctive red façade). The inside is bright and bold, with rich colors and plush furnishings. The hotel also boasts a rooftop restaurant and bar, an outdoo
