Save this for your Normandy itinerary or send it to someone that wants to visit Mont Saint Michel 🇫🇷 10 things you should know before visiting Mont Saint Michel: 1️⃣ Stop at the iconic snake road viewpoint before arriving One of the most beautiful panoramic views of Mont Saint Michel is from the winding road viewpoint at these exact coordinates: 48.603272, -1.506898. It’s the perfect photo stop, especially around sunrise or sunset 2️⃣ Park at the official Mont Saint Michel parking area 3️⃣ Take the free “Le Passeur” shuttle bus to the island You can also walk the bridge back for the views 4️⃣ Enter through Porte du Roi and explore the medieval main street 5️⃣ Visit Mont Saint Michel Abbey The abbey is the highlight of the entire visit, and from my point of view, a guided tour is an absolute must. We did an amazing English tour and learned so much about the history and significance of this place. You’ll also get to see the beautiful cloister, which has one of the best views on the island 6️⃣ Enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants along the main street A meal with a view makes the experience even more special 7️⃣ Check the tides before visiting Mont Saint Michel looks completely different depending on the tide level 8️⃣ Stay overnight if you can Most day-trippers leave in the evening, so staying overnight lets you experience the island when it’s much quieter and more magical 9️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes The streets are steep, uneven, and often crowded, so good walking shoes make a big difference 🔟 Visit early in the morning or later in the evening These are the best times to avoid the biggest crowds and enjoy better photo opportunities ✨ Bonus: try the famous omelette at La Mère Poulard Honestly, Mont Saint Michel needs more planning than people think, but it’s absolutely worth it. © Sparkling Escapes | Europe travel itineraries #france #normandie

This Paris café and restaurant near Opéra Garnier looks like a Christmas ballet, and it's not just for photos. Café de la Paix and The Verriere Restaurant is part of Le Grand Hôtel and works perfectly for both coffee and lunch. 8 With the ballerina-shoe Christmas tree and the soft, elegant setting, the whole place feels very ballet-core Paris in December. Come for a quiet coffee break in the afternoon, or plan it as a slow lunch between sightseeing. It's central, elegant, and easy to fit into a Paris day without rushing from one place to another. We ordered the onion soup and the beef tartare, and both were genuinely delicious. Comforting, classic, and exactly what you want on a winter day in Paris. A really good stop when you want something classic, pretty, ano very Paris. Save this for your winter Paris plans. #paris #operagarnierparis #pariscafe #parischristmas

It’s called Guinigi Tower, one of the most unique towers to visit in Tuscany. Entry is 8 €. We got our tickets there, but it’s better to book online and choose your time slot. The rooftop is small, so it can get crowded quickly even if the tower itself feels quiet. If you’re planning a trip to Tuscany or spending a day in Lucca, save this post so you don’t miss it. The view from the top is unreal, and it’s the only tower where you can stand under oak trees above Lucca’s rooftops. #tuscany #luccatuscany

Just a few steps from Piazza Navona, this café is hidden inside the beautiful Chiostro del Bramante, one of my favourite hidden gems in Rome.

There are plenty of tables where you can enjoy a coffee, lunch or aperitivo while overlooking the historic courtyard, or sit inside and admire the colourful painted interiors. If you’d like to walk through the courtyard and visit the exhibition spaces, tickets are currently €20. If you’re planning a Rome itinerary and looking for unique cafés near Piazza Navona, add this spot to your list. Save this for your next Rome trip 🇮🇹 📍 Chiostro del Bramante 💶 Exhibition ticket: €20 ☕ Café accessible without an exhibition ticket 🎨 Colourful interiors + views over the historic courtyard 🚶‍♀️ Near Piazza Navona 📌 Perfect stop for coffee, lunch or an aperitivo © Please do not copy, reproduce or repost this content without permission.

#hosted You don't always need a long vacation to see multiple destinations. This was Windstar's Quick Getaway: La Dolce Vita in Italy & France, @WindstarCruises a 4-day yacht cruise that combines Portovenere, Cinque Terre and Bonifacio in Corsica into one trip. 📍Day 1: Embark in Civitavecchia (Rome) 📍Day 2: Portovenere + Cinque Terre 📍 Day 3: Bonifacio, Corsica 📍Day 4: Return to Civitavecchia What makes this route different is that while you're sleeping, you're already on your way to the next destination. And because there are only around 350 guests on board, it feels much more personal. The crew gets to know you by name, there is plenty of space to relax, and it never feels crowded. Between destinations, you can spend time by the pool, book a spa treatment, enjoy the hot tub, swim directly trom the yacht during marina days, or simply watch the coastline go by with a cocktail in hand. There are multiple restaurants on board, great food, live jazz in the evenings, and plenty of excursions in every destination if you don't want to explore on your own. Personally, the Cinque Terre boat tour and Bonifacio in Corsica were the highlights of this trip. If you only had 4 days, would you choose Cinque Terre or Corsica first? #windstarcruises

The Bernina Express is one of the most scenic train journeys in Switzerland, connecting St. Moritz and Tirano across the Swiss Alps. If you travel in late autumn, you can actually see autumn and winter in the same ride. It's a UNESCO World Heritage route operated by RhB (Rhaetian Railway), famous for its panoramic views, mountain passes, and spiral viaducts. The regular Bernina Red Train follows the same route, but with openable windows (a dream for photographers). • Useful info: • Route: St. Moritz - Tirano - Chur • Duration: about 2 h 20 min (one way) • Tickets: from around 40 € (2nd class) • No seat reservation needed • You can hop off at small Alpine stops along the way • Can be done easily as a day trip from Milan, that's what I did, and it was absolutely worth it. It's one of those rare travel moments that feels both luxurious and real. Golden valleys, snowy peaks, and that quiet hum of the Bernina Express gliding through the Alps. Save this for your next Switzerland or Italy itinerary, especially if you're dreaming of an autumn-to-winter journey through the Alps.

#hosted | What if you could visit all these places in 4 days... without changing hotels? You have all day to explore on your own or join one of the excursions in each destination. Then, instead of worrying about trains, ferries, hotel check-ins or packing again, you're back on board enjoying a spa treatment, the jacuzzi, live jazz or a cocktail. One thing I loved about Windstar's La Dolce Vita itinerary is that the yacht can visit smaller ports that larger ships can't access, which means you get to discover some really special places. And if you don't feel like exploring, there's plenty to do on board too: the marina, paddle boards, swimming in the sea, the pool, the jacuzzi and the spa. The best part? You wake up somewhere new every morning without moving your luggage once. 📍Civitavecchia, Rome 📍Portovenere 📍Monterosso 📍Bonifacio Would you try a trip like this? #windstar #windstarcruises @WindstarCruises

✨ 20 days of Italy that feel slow and unforgettable. I keep coming back to Italy again and again. Some cities I’ve visited twice, and they never lose their charm. This 20-day itinerary works both ways. You can start from Rome and end in Venice, or the other way around. Either way, it’s the perfect balance between cities, countryside, and coast. 🏛️ Rome - 4 days Start in the capital. See the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and Vatican City. Take short breaks for espresso and people-watching. They’re part of the experience. 🏡 Tuscan Countryside - 2 days Stay near San Gimignano or Val d’Orcia. Visit vineyards, try local wine and see Pienza, Montalcino or Montepulciano. 🏰 Siena - 1 day Spend the day in Piazza del Campo, climb Torre del Mangia for city views, visit the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Facciatone Tower. Don’t forget to try pici pasta. It’s one of Siena’s local specialties. 🎨 Florence - 4 days See the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio and the Duomo complex. Visit Boboli Gardens, Palazzo Pitti, Palazzo Vecchio, the Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy and Cappelle Medicee. 🕍 Pisa - 1 day Stop on your way north. See Piazza dei Miracoli with one pass for all main sights and take that classic Leaning Tower photo. 🍝 Bologna - 2 to 3 days (3 if you also visit Modena or Parma) Italy’s food capital. Climb the Asinelli Tower, see Piazza Maggiore, Cathedral and Clock Tower, Prendiparte Tower, Archiginnasio and the Quadrilatero Market. 🌆 Milan - 2 days Visit the Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and The Last Supper. Walk through Brera and enjoy an aperitivo along the Navigli canals. 🌿 Lake Como - 4 days Stay in Varenna. Take the ferry to Bellagio and Menaggio. Visit Villa Monastero, Villa Cipressi, Villa Carlotta and Villa Balbianello. 🚤 Venice - 3 days End your trip surrounded by water. See St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, Museo Correr and Teatro La Fenice. Take a short trip to Murano and Burano and finish with a boat ride at sunset. 💫 Save this itinerary. Your future self will thank you when you’re sitting in a piazza with a coffee instead of running for the next train.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Trevi Fountain and I think it’s absolutely worth visiting. But Rome has so much more to offer beyond its most famous landmarks. Here are 10 places that deserve a spot on your Rome itinerary. 📍 Appartamenti Segreti Doria Pamphilj One of the most beautiful interiors in Rome. Keep in mind this requires a separate ticket from the gallery and currently costs €6. 📍 Galleria Doria Pamphilj One of the most beautiful art galleries in Rome and a must for anyone who loves historic palaces and impressive collections. 📍 Castel Sant’Angelo + Ponte Sant’Angelo A Rome classic that combines history, architecture, and some of the best views in the city. 📍 Basilica di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola Famous for its optical illusion ceiling and mirror viewpoint, but worth visiting even if you don’t queue for the photo. 📍 Chiostro del Bramante Home to one of the most beautiful interactive exhibitions I’ve visited in Rome. Don’t miss the café overlooking the courtyard. 📍 Rooftop Lounge Trevi A great alternative if you want to enjoy views of the Trevi Fountain without standing in the crowds. Entrance is €25 and includes a drink. 📍 Palazzo Barberini One of the most underrated museums in Rome, with beautiful staircases, impressive rooms, and a peaceful garden. 📍 OTMV Rooftop One of the best rooftop views of Altare della Patria and central Rome. 📍 Palazzo Altemps An underrated palace filled with sculptures, elegant rooms, and far fewer visitors than many of Rome’s famous museums. 📍 Spanish Steps Still one of the most beautiful places in Rome, especially early in the morning or around sunset. Whether you’re visiting Rome for a weekend or planning a longer Italy trip, save this Rome travel guide for later 🇮🇹 Content made and owned by @sparklingescapes.

The Smarter Way to See Venice Seeing Venice from the water just feels different. The gondola is iconic, but if you want to actually see Venice and not just float through it, take a guided boat tour. In about an hour, you’ll pass: 1️⃣ St. Mark’s Square 2️⃣ Bridge of Sighs 3️⃣ Church of the Most Holy Redeemer 4️⃣ Hilton Molino Stucky Venice 5️⃣ Chiesa di San Simeon Piccolo 6️⃣ Ponte degli Scalzi 7️⃣ Chiesa dei Santi Geremia e Lucia 8️⃣ Museo di Storia Naturale 9️⃣ Ca’ Vendramin Calergi 🔟 Church of San Stae 1️⃣1️⃣ Fish Market (Mercato di Rialto) 1️⃣2️⃣ Galleria Giorgio Franchetti alla Ca’ d’Oro 1️⃣3️⃣ Rialto Bridge 1️⃣4️⃣ Palazzo Bernardo 1️⃣5️⃣ Palazzo Pisani Moretta 1️⃣6️⃣ Palazzo Balbi 1️⃣7️⃣ Palazzo Barbarigo 1️⃣8️⃣ Palazzo Genovese 1️⃣9️⃣ Punta Della Dogana 2️⃣0️⃣ Doge’s Palace You’ll see Venice from a completely new perspective: fewer crowds, better views, and a calm rhythm that lets you enjoy it instead of rush through it. So yes, do the gondola once, it’s part of the story. But the boat tour? That’s the one that stays with you.
