Just some autumn vibes from Munich in one of those rare instances when the sun shines! 🌤

Good morning from Munich! 🤗
I have been away for a while and I know -of course- you all missed seeing some of our pictures, so I brought you here one I like most 😇

Remember the Nymphenburg palace? Well this is its garden! It is not just big, it's HUGE! You can barely walk till the end of it and it's hard to grasp that some royalty considered this place as their backyard someday! 😅
All over the garden you can see some colorful flower beds, sculptural works of art and lots of ducks just walking around so freely like they own the place 😂

Hope that your day is as bright and cheerful as the garden of the Nymphenburg palace ^_^

Welcome to Munich! We're taking you today in a royal tour! 😎
Meet the Nymphenburg palace, one of the most important landmarks in the city. The Baroque palace used to be the summer house of the rulers of Bavaria, and it is surrounded by some beautiful lakes and very wide colorful gardens, actually so wide that you could barely see their end! Here's a photo from the place from outside! 😁

Hello Amsterdam 🇳🇱

Aside from being an amazing city and the closest one to my heart, one thing I really liked in Amsterdam is that it's almost impossible to capture a bad photo there. No matter what you are shooting, no matter what Camera you're using or what lense you have, your captured photo will still be good enough.

You can feel the happiness in the streets of the Dutch capital. The environment is chilled and the people are friendly, and that's what a tourist basically need. I would never get bored of Amsterdam and would visit it again whenever I have the chance. I honestly envy the people that live there. 😁

Buongiorno from Florence 🇮🇹

In the center of Italy, the capital of the Tuscani region was ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in the world by Forbes Magazine, due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage.

The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, the statue of Michelangelo and other historical landscapes make Florence on of the top touristic cities in Italy, attracring millions of tourists each year. Florence is also one of the top 15 fashion capitals in the world.

In addition to all that, Florence has an amazing ice cream and Pasta, so don't forget to give them a try if you're there someday!

Every place that markets itself as a tourist destination focuses on the bright parts of its life to attract people and tries to convince them of its ability to offer them some joyful and wonderful experiences.

While this is great and we all look for it from time to time, yet one cannot claim they have had the real experience of the place without seeing the whole picture and seeing beyond the bright lights to the shadows in the image. When one sees both the light and the dark, they can truly say they have had a genuine experience with the place and their feelings towards it would be a lot deeper. This is the line that marks the difference between a "tourist" and a "traveller".

Oh and speaking of light and shadow, here's one of my favorite pics from Munich that I took earlier this year, near the English garden 😇

Salzburg is the fourth biggest city in Austria, yet with only about 150 thousand people living there! A small river, the Salzach, runs through it and leaves such beautiful sceneries to capture like the one on this photo 😍

Although Salzburg is near the borders of Germany (one can even reach there with some of the Bayern local tickets), the city has some very distinct traditional culture. I had the luck to visit the city during a local city festival and it was wonderful seeing many people walk around in their traditional clothes and also see the local artefacts and souvenirs sold in the bazars.

On the borders of Germany and with views of the Alps, lies the amazing Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart.

A chilled city with interesting history and wonderful sightseeings.

We'll share with you more photos from our Salzburg-MiniTour in the upcoming posts. :)
