]]> Each city has its spirit, charisma, and identity. When we visit a new city, we will normally perform a rigorous investigation about the trendiest spots in the city to capture those photos that make our friends jealous. As Brussels is no different, I decided to save you the effort and leave you with the list of the 10 most instagramable spots in Brussels.

1. Pavillon Chinois

A little Asian touch in the middle of the European frenzy. In the Laeken region, the Chinese pavilion together with the Japanese tower, quickly transport us and take us on a journey through Asian culture. In perfect conversation, this area has plenty of interesting spots to offer.

2. Grand-Place

It is a mandatory stop for anyone visiting the capital of Belgium. Recognised for its authentic and eccentric architecture, the grand place is a place not to be missed when visiting Brussels. It is recommended to visit in less busy hours as the place tends to be quite crowded with tourists. Come early if you want to take that photo with no one in the background.

3. Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert

Lined with fashion and chocolate shops, the bright ceiling of the galleries becomes an ideal place for a classy photography.

4. Pannenhuis Metro Station

Certainly, the most beautiful and urban metro station in the city of Brussels, and probably one of the most iconic in Europe. Its authentic design makes it look like we are in a futuristic dimension. When you are there, do not forget to look at the ceiling, as for many people the details of this metro station go unnoticed.

5. Palais de Justice

The iconic Brussels Palace of Justice, which for its stunning structure is at the background of several views of the city, is a place not to be missed. It is not only the most important building of justice in Belgium but also the largest building built in the 19th century.

6. Roofttop Warwick Brussels

A great view of Brussels to have a drink with friends and enjoy the view of the city.

7. The Avocado Show

If you are an avocado lover, you will not want to miss a visit to The Avocado Show. In addition to the delicious and unique food, you can also take advantage of the restaurant’s excellent decoration to take some cute photos.

8. Botanical Garden

A jungle in the middle of the city. Here you can find plant species from all corners of the world due to the controlled ecosystem. From the desert climate to the tropics, get ready to travel without leaving the same place.

9. Parc du Cinquentenaire

One of the best-known places in Brussels. Doing sports, going for a walk, or just chatting with friends, this green lung of the city center offers a multitude of opportunities.

10. Mont des Arts

The king of the Brussels sunsets. This spot is perfect for the end of the day, and almost always results in a nice atmosphere to take some pictures.

]]> What is the Sahara Desert and what makes it so special? As the second-largest desert in the world, the Sahara has an area equivalent to the entire territory of the United States of America and is cross-border since it extends to several countries on the African continent: Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Nigeria, Sudan, and Tunisia. The Sahara is also considered the warmest desert in the world, where temperatures sometimes reach 50 degrees Celsius. Its size and intense climatic characteristics make it a unique place on planet Earth.

1. How to get there?

There are several ways to reach the Sahara Desert through entry points in each of the countries where the desert extends. However, most visitors start their journey through Morocco, either via Marrakech or Fez. Getting to the Sahara desert alone may not be the easiest mission since the journey is quite long, tiring and the roads are not the best. It is recommended to take a tour with local agents since there is a very wide offer at very affordable prices that include staying in the desert in campsites adapted for the same purpose. A quick google search will be enough to find different offers. Do not forget to see reviews and negotiate, in the end, we are talking about Morocco and it is almost considered a lack of respect if prices are not negotiated.

2. Where to stay?

Sahara has been on the traveler’s bucket list for many years. For the same reason, the infrastructure to support tourism is well developed and the offer is quite diverse. Depending on the budget, it is possible to find all kinds of offers from the cheapest options to the most luxurious options.

It is possible to find places like the Sahara Luxury Camp which has a daily rate of around ā‚¬200. Or for cheaper options it is possible to find stays in simpler camps between ā‚¬10 to ā‚¬20 per day.

]]> Looking at the headline of this article, one could wonder: What does Vietnam have to do with King Kong? In fact, it has nothing to do with it, and it has everything to do with it at the same time. Yes, we all know that King Kong is a fictional character and does not exist in real life, however the Vietnamese province of Nihn Bihn has one characteristic that puts the fictional and real realms in symbiosis. In 2017, the film ā€œKing Kong: Skull Islandā€ premiered, which chose this charismatic place for several shooting sets.

The entire region consists of mountain limestone formations. These limestone mountains, damaged by erosion, have many unique shapes, which always end up making good impressions on all the visitors.

The most notewirthy region where some takes of the film were recorded is Trang An, which, despite already being well known for being recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014, attracted even more fame thanks to the fact that the film of the saga of King Kong was recorded there.

1. When to visit?

You can visit Trang An and all the entire Ninh Binh region at any time of the year. However, the period between January and March is recommended. This is the time when Trang An festivals take place, therefore you can combine taking tours of great views with exploring the typical festival features here like the Trang An festival, along with water and faith processions on the river.

2. Routes

Trang An Grottoes Tour offers three different boat routes for discovwering the Trang An region and its many natural wonders.

Route 1. Intended for those who prefer caves, since it is the route that visits the largest number of caves. From Tran Temple to Khong Pagoda, you will have the chance to visit 12 caves and 3 spiritual points on the Sao Khue River in the following order: Trinh Temple, Toi Cave, Sang Cave, Nau Ruou Cave, Tran Cave, Ba Giot Cave, Seo Cave, Cave Son Duong, Khong temple, Tran cave, Quy Hau cave.

Ā© Trang An Grottoes Tour

Route 2. Most tourists opt for this itinerary, as it is suitable for people with a reduced schedule. On this route, you will be taken to visit the following places: Trinh temple, Dot cave, May cave, Suoi Tien temple (Fairy Stream temple), Dia Linh mountain, Dai cave, Vu Lam imperial palace, Kong: Skull Island movie studio.

Route 3. If the main interest is to see limestone mountains, route 3 is the most suitable. This focuses more on observing the mountains.

Lā€™article Is Ban Gioc Waterfall worth visiting? est apparu en premier sur Travel Tomorrow.

]]> When talking about the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, sometimes this huge gem in Northern Vietnam is not even mentioned. However, Ban Gioc is one of the most beautiful and stunning waterfall complexes in the world. With a proponent dimension and dozens of waterfalls concentrated in the same place, it makes it one of the places that should not be missing in any tourist itinerary in Vietnam. For all lovers of natural landscapes, this is undoubtedly a breathtaking place.

1. Where is it?

The beauty of this waterfall is so vast that it had to be divided into two, and this is one of the most curious facts about it. Its location on the edge of the Vietnamese province of Cao Bang means that it belongs to Vietnam at the same time that it belongs to China. Confused? Well, territorially speaking the waterfall is located half in Vietnamese territory while the other half is in Chinese territory. In this way, the waterfall plays a role as an aquatic border between both territories. You can even see the cultural contrasts between China and Vietnam just by looking around the infrastructure of the waterfall. On the Vietnamese side, there is little policing and relatively low scrutiny of what visitors do while they are there. On the Chinese side, it is possible to observe a more rigid organization in relation to the route to be followed by visitors, as well as a strong police presence when compared to its neighbors.

2. How to get there?

This is probably the biggest challenge to visit this magnificent place: How to get there? Cao Bang is a province in northeastern Vietnam that is characterized by its long mountain ranges and its diverse agricultural fields. As it is a relatively poor region when compared to the rest of Vietnam, Cao Bang lacks roads and that factor makes it difficult to reach this region. Located about 300 km from one of the main tourist hubs in the country (Hanoi), the trip has to be planned and measured because in the end, although 300 km seems little, it is necessary to consider the quality of the roads and the maximum speed allowed by Vietnam, which makes the journey longer than traveling the same distance on European soil. The bravest travelers choose the adventure of renting a scooter and driving by themselves to the province to visit the famous waterfalls. However, the vast majority of tourists opt for tours departing from Hanoi, also taking the opportunity to visit historical landmarks along the way, thus ending up doing some multi-day tours just to be able to visit the place.

3. When to visit?

Ban Gioc Waterfall is open to visitors throughout the year, without any interruptions. However, it is important to consider that the landscape can change with the seasons. The most recommended time to visit the waterfalls is during the dry season, which occurs between September and October, since at this time the waterfall is much calmer, thus making it possible to better enjoy the natural beauty of this hidden gem.

4. What about over-tourism?

Often there is considerably some crowd in the place, both in the Vietnamese part and in the Chinese part. However, the volume of people is quite sustainable and does not become uncomfortable. The width of almost 300m that the waterfalls present makes it possible for a considerable dispersion of people present in the place.

On both sides, it is possible to take a raft ride that travels to the base of the waterfall allowing you to observe its beauty in an even more impressive and unforgettable way.Ā

Built over 850 years ago on top of a 70-meter-high rock, the castle of Eltz is one of the most impressive buildings in Germany. It is believed to have been erected between the 11th and 12th centuries, throughout the Stauffe dynasty. The castle skirts the Eltz River – a tributary of the Moselle – on three of its four sides, which gave it a lot of political influence.

2. Neuschwanstein

Getting even closer to the city of Koblenz or Koblenz, in German (about 45 minutes by car – 55 km), a city famous for being a great place to stay for those who want to know the beautiful medieval castles and wineries of the Rhine valley in Germany.

6. Schweriner Schloss

One of the most worthwhile tours in northern Germany is to visit Schwerin castle. This small town is the capital of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and, despite being the smallest German capital, it has a lot of interesting things to see.

7. Hohenschwangau

Hohenschwangau Castle was the first castle in the region and was built by King Maximilian II of Bavaria, who was to be the father of Ludwig II, who was the creator of Neuschwanstein Castle.

8. Wartburg

Wartburg, almost a thousand years old, has seen many historical events that took place on its premises. It has also served as an inspiration for many artists and poets throughout history, such as Goethe and Richard Wagner. Due to its historical importance, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

9. Wernigerode

Wernigerode Castle is located in the Harz mountains above the city of Wernigerode in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The current building, completed in the late 19th century, has a similar style to the Schloss Neuschwanstein, although its foundations are much older.

10. Burg Rheinstein

]]> The current pandemic in which we live has indeed changed many of our holiday and holiday plans. This Easter will certainly be a very special one (in the sense of being something different from what we are used to). However, if you live in Belgium, all is not lost. Belgian nature tourism has developed a lot in recent years and is a great choice for many domestic tourists. As such, whether for this Easter or a next opportunity, here are some very original accommodations for a different and unique getaway.

The Ourthe boasts one of its most impressive aspects between La-Roche-en-Ardenne and Houffalize, with a sheltered valley and fantastic viewpoints. The site is right at the heart of the Parc Naturel des deux Ourthes, and the immediate area is a Natura 2000 region. The Parc Naturel des deux Ourthes covers 187,795 acres and is the largest of the nine Parcs Naturels de Wallonie. In this place, you can find rooms on the Moullin as well as more authentic Cottages.

4. Slow Cabins

In a Slow Cabin, guests spend several days in hidden, non-vulnerable nature near home. They escape the city’s traffic and learn to live again to the rhythm of nature. Moreover, they actively contribute to the (re)construction of nature.

A lot of touristic attraction are closed and roads are not easily accessible, especially in the highland. However, more and more people chose to visit Iceland during Winter as it also present some advantages: sauvages landscape, most of the time covered with a white coat and completely different from what you can see in the summer season, amazing northern lights illuminating the night, very few tourist so you can better enjoy touristic sites, lower prices, and a most authentic experience.

1. JƶkulsĆ”rlĆ³n Ice Cave, the biggest glacier in Europe

JƶkulsĆ”rlĆ³n Ice Cave is located in the Vatnajƶkul national park. These caves are only accessible in the winter from mid-December until mid-March. Despite the price of the tour that is a little bit expensive for small budget, it is a wonderful natural wonder that you cannot miss. They are also called the Crystal Caves as the light shining through the blue ice makes them look like crystals.

2. Relax and warm up to the Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal spa in southwestern Iceland located in a lava field near GrindavĆ­k, which is approximatively at 45 minutes from Reykjavik. You can enjoy the hot spring, which is even more pleasant in the winter to warm up your body after a day of discoveries and sightseeing. They have different treatments with a lot of virtues for your skin. The plus about going there in the winter is that the water is more blueish than in the summer which makes amazing pics.

3. Admire the northern light. 

Although it is not really a place in itself as you can admire them from the entire country, winter is the best time of the year to have the chance to see these amazing northern lights. There are a lot of website to track these beauties as https://aurorareykjavik.is/aurora-forecast/ so be ready to jump in your car and search for it and why not camp outside or in your car to admire them for hours.

4. Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach in Vik

If you are a big fan of series, you might remember this beach from Game of Thrones. And itā€™s not a hazard that they chose to record some sequence there considering the beauty of this beach. The sand is black as charbon and the view on the rocks on the ocean makes it truly unique. Itā€™s definitely a must do!

5. Seljalandsfoss Waterfall

This 60 meters high waterfall is one of the most visited and photographed waterfall in Iceland. What makes it unique is the fact that you can hike behind the waterfall and have a totally different panorama. You really feel like you are in the waterfall, feel the mist all over your skin and hear the song of the water dropping and forming a small river.

6. Gullfoss waterfall, located in the golden circle

This waterfall is very close to the capital, which also makes it one of the most popular for day tours. Some viewpoint are closed in the winter but however, itā€™s one of the most appreciated as you can see the waterfall from above and not from below as most of the waterfall. The good point about visiting this waterfall in the winter is the ice all around the water which makes it look very unique!

7. The famous Geysir, also located in the golden circle

This is certainly one go the most famous spot in Iceland and we can understand why! Every 5 to 10 minutes, you can assist to a magical and natural show where water erupts from the ground. Unfortunately, the original Geysir rarely erupts anymore, but visitors can enjoy regular eruptions from smaller neighbor Strokkur.

8. Skaftafell glacier hike

If you are a little bit adventurous and want to try an activity that you wonā€™t forget, try glacier hikes! Iceland is covered of 10% of ice which is why it is called the land of fire (volcanoes) and ice (glaciers). There are dozen of tours, with different levels and length and with very skilled guides to help you in this new adventure.

9. SĆ³lheimasandur plane wreck

This US navy plane crashed in 1973 because of a lack of fuel. Fortunately, everyone survived and the remains are still lying on the black sand very close to the beach. If you want to do something unusual and jump into a science fiction movie, this place is made for you!

10. SnƦfellsnes peninsula

This peninsula is located Icelandā€™s western coast and is approximatively 90 square meters. There are plenty of things to see there as for example the Kirkjufell mountain, the Arnarstapi village, the RauĆ°feldsgjĆ” Gorge & the Sƶnghellir cave, the BĆŗĆ°akirkja black church surrounded by lava fields or the GerĆ°uberg basalt cliffs. It might worth staying a few days there.
