The beautiful Lake Geneva at the center of the city, a spectacular cityscape, aura of a global financial powerhouse, gorgeous parks, that wonderful balance of the new world and the old world, and much more. Our 2018 autumn trip to Geneva is a cherished memory.
At the fag end of our European sojourn in 2018, we decided to spend two days in Amsterdam, the city where canals weave a web of magic. With the North Sea flanking its north, the Amstel river flowing through the city, and 165 canals crisscrossing the whole city, it felt like water, water, and water everywhere! It hardly felt like a city, rather it seemed like a big garden with curated buildings all around.
Paris is indeed charming, and a very romantic city. Its beautiful cityscape, classy buildings, lovely boulevards and river Seine make it a truly lovable city. It’s also called the city of light. My 2016 trip was short, but quite memorable.
We had a wonderful time in Italy in 2018. We visited Rome, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Venice and Milan. Each of these places is unique, and I don’t like to compare places. However, if there is one place that I would definitely go back, it is Florence.
England often doesn’t augur that ‘ancient cultural’ vibe as its other western neighbors like Italy and Greece do. But England, (and the United Kingdom) is home to some of the most amazing symbols of ancient civilizations. The Avebury ring, Skara brae, Hadrian’s wall, Edinburg castle and Corfe castle are just a few to name. I had the opportunity of visiting two such ancient wonders- Stonehenge and Bath, in a day, in 2015.
