Explore Galway's Wild Atlantic Way

Just 13 miles south of Galway, in neighboring County Clare, lies a sparse and unique rocky landscape known as the Burren. On your way south, stop at Moran's Oyster Cottage, an old-fashioned thatched restaurant, for fresh seafood. Near Dunguaire Castle, a huge 16th-century stone fortress in Kinvara, overlooking Galway Bay. It is lit up at night and hosts medieval parties to explore the castle's literary connections.

&nbsp;Kinvara itself is worth a visit. This pretty little harbor is home to many 'hookers', traditional Irish wooden boats originally used to transport fish and grass, which now cross the bay every summer during the regatta Cruinniú na mBad. Nearby Flaggy Shore inspired one of Seamus Heaney's best-loved poems, "Postscript". The Burren begins on the coastal road south of Kinvara and extends inland.

Surf the booming surf scene in Sligo
Sligo County&nbsp;
Once not known as a surfing destination, Ireland is finally being put on the surfing map thanks to two developments in County Sligo. First, wave enthusiasts around the world were shocked by footage from 2020 showing an Irishman riding a giant 60ft wave at Mullaghmore Head, just north of Sligo town. Second, Sligo is set to open a major new surfing attraction by the end of 2022. The National Surfing Center of Excellence will offer virtual surfing experiences, a surfing museum and other tourist facilities. It will be located at Strandhill, a beach popular with swimmers and domestic holidaymakers, and unlike the challenging Mullaghmore, it has gentler waves, perfect for beginners . So put on a thick wetsuit, dive into the sea and learn from one of Strandhill Surf School's professional instructors.

Follow in the footsteps of James Joyce in Dublin
Dublin
Blooming Day is celebrated on June 16, the day on which James Joyce's epic novel Ulysses was set. It is named after the book's main character, Leopold Bloom, whose experiences are described in detail from 9am until the early hours of the next day.

&nbsp;In 1954, the 50th anniversary of the novel's events was marked by half a dozen writers visiting the locations mentioned in the novel, sipping whiskey as they went. Nowadays, Dublin's Bloomsday Festival takes place over six days in June.

&nbsp;Hundreds of Irishmen donned straw hats and Edwardian costumes to visit locations associated with the novel and eat Bloom's breakfast of roasted lamb kidneys. A program of readings, performances and guided pub walks ensure lively entertainment. At other times of the year, visit the James Joyce Center.

County Mayo
Extremely narrow and winding, many roads in Ireland are extremely dangerous for cycling. This is a real shame as they enter the quiet rural environment which would make a great companion for cyclists. Luckily, in recent years the Irish government has created a series of 'greenways' - easy and safe walking and cycling routes through some of the country's most beautiful landscapes. The best of them is the Great Western Greenway, a 27-mile stretch through County Mayo, stretching from the pretty town of Westport to majestic Achill Island. This route can easily be covered in a day, even by amateur cyclists. Backpackers can split their trip into two days by spending a night in the picturesque riverside town of Newport.

&nbsp;There are six main greenways in Ireland, including the Waterford Greenway, Old Rail Trail, Limerick Greenway, Royal Canal Greenway and Suir Greenway. The weather in Ireland is unpredictable 12 months of the year, so even when the weather is nice, bring a well-insulated raincoat.

&nbsp;Admire Ireland's towering sea cliffs from above and below
County Clare
Ireland's west coast is dotted with dozens of majestic cliffs that stretch from farmland to the choppy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Two of these cliffs are among the most spectacular in Europe. The second most visited tourist attraction in Ireland, the Cliffs of Moher are 700 feet high and stretch five miles along the coast of County Clare.

&nbsp;Tourists can admire the dramatic views from walking paths that run south along the cliffs, away from the site's impressive visitor center. They can also admire this wonder from its base, on one of the regular boat trips to the Cliffs of Moher, which depart from the port town of Doolin, just north of there.

&nbsp;Meanwhile, hidden in little-visited County Donegal are the highest accessible cliffs in Europe, around three times higher than those at Moher. This natural wonder, the Slieve League, underwent a €5m renovation in 2020, including a new visitor center and 2.5km of new cliff-top walking tracks. Visitors can hike to the top of the cliffs or take boat tours with stunning sea-level views as well as swimming and fishing opportunities below the cliffs.

Marvel at the Giant's Causeway

Created 60 million years ago, Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a mass of nearly 40,000 basalt columns stretching hundreds of meters into the sea. shoreline and crystallized into a mass that resembled a giant honeycomb rising from the ocean.

Folklore has it that the giant Finn McCool, in an attempt to reach a giantess he loved on the Scottish island of Staffa (where the causeway reappears), created columns as stepping stones. Unfortunately, the giantess's boyfriend found out, and in the ensuing battle, Finn flew a giant land mass towards Scotland. The crater then became Lough Neagh and the landing grasslands created the Isle of Man. During the peak summer months, the Causeway can be very crowded, so arrive early or wait until late afternoon, when the weather is generally calm. To get there, you can walk 1 mile up the scenic long hill or take the Causeway Coaster minibus. Both of these journeys begin with a tourist experience at the Giant's Causeway, made of basalt quarried locally from the same lava flow that formed the causeway.

&nbsp;Discovering a 6,000-year-old wonder challenges scientists
Flanked by giant cliffs and sheep-filled meadows, lies a six-millennium-old archaeological wonder that challenges scientists and delights tourists, and has recently become even more attractive. thanks to the renovation. The Ceide Fields are considered the largest Stone Age ruins in the world. Five square miles of megalithic tombs, houses, fortifications and agricultural structures are designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If located near Dublin, instead of a 3.5-hour drive west in the remote countryside of County Mayo, Ceide Fields would be one of Ireland's top tourist attractions. Instead, few people outside of Ireland know about this gem, the debates surrounding its origins or the increasingly dense Irish legends associated with this sacred site, much of which remains buried (reinforcing its mystery). All this fascinating context is explained inside the Ceide Fields Visitor Center, reopening in mid-2022 after a major renovation.

Visit Skellig Michael's otherworldly Star Wars set
Skellig Michael
Famous for being used as a backdrop in the Star Wars films, Skellig Michael is perhaps the most impressive location in Ireland. Rising from the Atlantic Ocean eight miles off the coast of County Kerry, this very steep and jagged island is home to a 1,400-year-old monastery. These ancient ruins can only be reached by climbing more than 100 rough stone steps after reaching the island's small dock.

&nbsp;The ocean around this UNESCO World Heritage Site is so rough and the cliffs along this pier are so jagged that it is often dangerous for boats to dock. Tourist access to the island is therefore limited to a short season from mid-May to late September when the sea is calmer. Even during this time, boat trips often have to be canceled due to weather conditions; If so, you can visit the Skellig Experience visitor center in the beautiful fishing village of Portmagee.

Discover with BITBOOK how to get to Albania, where to stay, how to get around during your trip and much more,all with a great cashback!&nbsp;

The throngs of tourists jostling through Greece and Croatia are too busy boarding crowded ferries and waddling through sweaty crowds to notice the other country right there, ostensibly sandwiched in the middle. Albania, a little-visited but comparable Ionian coastal paradise, shares many of the same attractive qualities as its more famous neighbors.

&nbsp;Along the Albanian Riviera, with its clear, blue waters, there are many beaches, interspersed with hidden caves that rise like cathedrals from the coastal cliffs. Small coastal towns whiten under the Mediterranean sun, promenades bustle with cafes during the day and bustle with revelers when the sun goes down. In addition to the beaches, the quaint, well-preserved towns each possess their own character and ancient charm, their windows scanning the landscape like a thousand eyes, gazing at the colored hills. The fat nourishes leafy vines and silver-green gnarled olive groves. . Strong agricultural lands and rich seas produce ingredients for fresh, flavorful dishes that are edible evidence of Albania's multicultural influence. Roman stone ruins crumble beside alluvial rivers, while in the capital the ruins of fallen regimes coexist with the dynamic spirit of a modern metropolis.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/9601696094348.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
The obvious advantage of traveling to Albania is that tourists going there are not as excited as those going to Greece or Croatia, there is more space on the beaches and in hotels and restaurants. Even during summer on the Albanian Riviera, you can find empty beaches and attractive and affordable last-minute accommodation. The number of visitors to Albania's coastal towns pales in comparison to peak season levels in Dubrovnik or Santorini, two beautiful locations that are attracting many tourists. Best of all, Albania is affordable: money goes much further here than in other more popular destinations.

In northern Albania, a dense chain of abandoned mountain peaks rise in solitude, bisected by clear rivers flowing through their lonely gorges. Known as the Cursed Mountains, the dark intensity of the name suggests the area has more to offer than its breathtaking landscape. A deep local culture has existed for centuries, isolated in this remote corner of the Balkans. Although much has changed here since the people of the area live and everything according to the laws of the Kanun, a tribal document that defines the rules of conduct that everyone must adhere to, the traditions in This continues, less publicly than before. . but continues to inform local sentiment.

&nbsp;Tour operators in this mountainous region offer well-organized trips connecting small villages on treks through magical and diverse terrain, with clear turquoise lakes transparent and sparkling waterfalls. The trails are bursting with wildflowers and shared with roaming cows and goats, offering stunning vistas at every turn. After your hike, you can relax in charming guesthouses nestled in postcard-perfect valleys, surrounded by high peaks. Food is fresh and locally grown, and even before it appears on the dinner table, it can be observed in the form of vegetables growing in carefully tended gardens or plump, chirping chickens. Clucking on the grass.

Albania's history is one of the fiercest in 20th-century Europe. After a wartime invasion and subsequent occupation by the Italians and Germans, the communists took control, pushed the country into complete isolation from the rest of the world, comparable to North Korea, until its "collapse in 1991. The isolation is still visible today." – the countryside is shrouded in ghostly domes of concrete bunkers and lacks recognizable international channels – and explains why Greece and Croatia are more familiar with the global collective consciousness. The country has spent more time than Albania perfecting its Balkan coastal tourism industry, thanks to government policies that have granted its citizens basic personal freedoms and allowed outside influence. outside - social realities that have been denied by Albanians for nearly half a century.

&nbsp;In Albania, a guest is as precious as gold
In Albania, especially in the north of the country, there is extreme respect for guests and hospitality towards tourists. Albanians are welcoming, friendly and open, which is remarkable for a country long isolated from the rest of the world. One of the benefits of visiting a country with such hospitable people (besides feeling welcomed and cared for) is that their kindness can also inspire visitors to take notice of you. than.

&nbsp;The capital's cafe scene is unparalleled
Tirana is a city that seems like the kind of place people will be nostalgic for once prices go up and people move there. As the progressive and modern center of Albania, there is plenty to do and see in the capital. Visitors will immediately notice the abundance of beautifully designed, classier cafes. Open, airy and decorated with plants and thoughtful décor, these cafes encourage visitors to spend hours in their inviting embrace. Bars and restaurants line the streets of trendy, vibrant neighborhoods, where there are many perfectly furnished, affordable apartments for rent right in the middle of it.

Skanderbeg Square, a large square surrounded by cultural and government buildings, is located in the city center. Bunk'Art is a multi-story underground bunker, originally built as a hideout for government elites, then converted into a museum of art and history. The Tirana Pyramid, a strange brutalist pyramid built to glorify a dictator's ego, has undergone renovations and been renamed an arts and cultural center, only Newly completed in June 2023.

&nbsp;Nowadays, escaping underground is no longer necessary to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. You can find respite in the Grand Park of Tirana, which is truly as large as its name suggests, spanning 230 hectares and including a botanical garden, historical monuments and an artificial (but very Real). The Datji Ekspres cable car takes visitors 1,600 meters above the city to the top of the mountain for panoramic views.

Although Albania struggles with social problems like every other country, it has some interesting progressive ideas. Christians and Muslims in Albania practice religious tolerance and live together peacefully. They did an impressive job (certainly by 2023 standards) of respecting everyone's beliefs, even going so far as to celebrate each other's holidays. It is not unusual to see a church and a mosque next to each other, a clear symbol of the harmonious relationship between two historically opposed religious groups.

&nbsp;Why now is the time to visit Albania&nbsp;
Where Greece and Croatia are familiar and predictable, Albania leaves room for surprises. Perhaps now is the time to discover a part of Europe that has not yet been reduced to a caricature of itself or a reflection of current global tastes that undermine local identities. Depending on the actions of the Albanian government and the EU over the next few years, Albania could become Europe's next hotspot, and if so, rising prices and quality of tourism infrastructure are just a few steps away. time problem. equal. with Greece and Croatia. Currently, Albania is barely in the spotlight, which makes it clear that it's a great time to go.

<h1 dir = "auto">Caucasus Itinerary - Azerbaijan</h1>
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/85011696082173.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Azerbaijan in one trip

This Trip is not one of the most explored regions in the world, the mountains that separate Europe from Asia offer an unusual journey, full of adventure and variety. Taking a trip to the Caucasus means getting acquainted with what was once the Silk Road and marveling at the cultures of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

&nbsp;These three countries, each with its own history and identity, can easily be visited together on a 15 to 20 day trip through the Caucasus, which will introduce you to a different side of Europe, including a glimpse of the Middle East and Central Asia. .

&nbsp;Although this region, especially Georgia, is receiving more and more attention and tourism agencies are trying to showcase this trio of countries as a travel itinerary, it is an underrated destination. invaded by mass tourism, which means you'll have many of these wonders to yourself.

You may be wondering: “What exactly is the Caucasus and where is it located?” Well, the Caucasus is a mountainous region located between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea; It borders Russia to the north and Türkiye and Iran to the south. This is a geographical area rich in diversity, both in landscape and culture.

This region is divided between the North Caucasus, part of the Russian Federation, and the South Caucasus, where three countries are on this list:
Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Each of these countries has its own language, religion, cuisine and traditions, dating back to ancient history and incorporating European and Asian influences.

This area is perfect for those who love nature and adventure travel. There are snow-capped mountains everywhere, such as Mount Elbrus and Ararat, rural valleys and crystal-clear lakes.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/55381696083069.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Best time to visit the Caucasus
The region has four well-defined seasons, and each of them is ideal for a certain type of trip.

If you are a fan of winter sports and snowy landscapes, the months of December to February are for you. The Caucasus Mountains attract many skiers and snowboarders every season. But be prepared for intense cold and very short days.

If this is not the case for you, it is best to avoid winter altogether.

The months of April to June are spring, and record milder temperatures, perfect for those who want to enjoy hiking and exploring the local culture. The same occurs in autumn, from September to November

Summer is also an option, especially if you want to explore the coastal areas, but be prepared for the heat and a larger number of tourists.

Despite being a less explored region, the Caucasus is accessible, especially if you are coming from Europe or other parts of Asia.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/74021696083184.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>

By Plane: The capitals of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan — Tbilisi, Yerevan and Baku, respectively — have international airports that receive flights from various parts of the world. If you are in Europe, there are several direct or one-stop flight options. As the largest and most connected city, Tbilisi is often the gateway for travelers to the Caucasus.
By Train: If you are in Russia or neighboring countries, the train may be an interesting option. There are scenic routes that cross the landscapes of the Caucasus, making the trip part of the adventure. This is also a great option for getting between Tbilisi and Yerevan, as we will see below.
By Car: For the more adventurous, renting a car can be an excellent way to explore the region at your own pace. The roads vary in quality, so be prepared for some more challenging sections. But the freedom to stop wherever you want to take photos or enjoy the view makes up for any setbacks. However, you need to plan your trip so as not to cross directly from Azerbaijan to Armenia. I will give more information about borders below.

The Caucasus is a region rich in culture, landscapes and hospitality, but it is also a place where political and diplomatic issues can directly affect your travel plans.

Before packing your bags, it is important to understand some of the complexities surrounding borders and relationships between countries in the region.

As the region is unstable and things change a lot, it is always a good idea to check the border situation before traveling. The website I used for this and which has up-to-date information about borders across Central Asia is Caravanistan.

Border between Armenia and Azerbaijan
The Nagorno-Karabakh region, formerly part of Armenia, was annexed by Azerbaijan during a conflict in 2008 and is still considered a conflict zone today.

Although the conflict goes through warmer moments, from time to time things escalate and there is an exchange of fire between troops, sieges and other military operations. Without going into the merits of the political, historical and humanitarian issues of the conflict (Armenia currently accuses Azerbaijan of genocide), the issue is restricted to this region and does not affect tourism in either country, especially in their capitals and nearby regions. .

Azerbaijan
Start your trip by investigating Baku and its attractions. Two days are enough to see both the ancient and advanced parts of the city and its primary attractions, counting the Maiden's Tower, Fire Towers and the Carpet Historical center.

On the third day, take a day trip to Gobustan to see the archeological location and mud volcanoes. It's conceivable to go by transport, but with a guided visit, you'll see more things within the same day.
The fourth will be reserved to visit the Ateshgah fire temple and learn about the Silk Road and Zoroastrianism.
The fifth day will be a trip to Tbilisi. perfect way"&gt;The most perfect way to travel is by flying. The trip takes fair over an hour and you'll discover tickets for as small as US$100.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/47981696083116.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Depending on the time of your flight, take the opportunity to visit another eatery in Baku or Tbilisi and take off an additional day free to rest and appreciate the city.

Promenade Inn Baku:
Located on the Boulevard, it may be a 5-star lodging with exceptionally reasonable rates, starting at US$95. It contains a lovely porch and overhangs with a view.
Fairmont Baku:
How about a one of a kind encounter in Baku, remaining inside the Fire Towers? The Fairmont offers 5-star settlement inside the city's largest postcard, additionally has famous eateries, a drinks bar, outdoor pool and rooms with all encompassing seats. Every day rates begin at US$200.
Greenery Craftsmanship Boutique Inn:
My convenience in Baku. It could be a basic but comfortable guesthouse, 200 meters from Praça da Fonte, a place full of eateries and bars. Day by day rates begin at US$56.
Travel Motel Lodging:
Budget convenience in Baku, with collective settlement from US$8, and private convenience from US$24. It is just 500 meters from Wellspring Square.
Day 6 to 10 – Tbilisi
Tbilisi is, for me, the foremost curiously halt on this agenda. I went through three months there and I would have remained longer, effectively. But for this agenda, we are going to consider four days there.

In short, however, you ought to set aside a day to investigate Ancient Tbilisi and cross the Peace Bridge to the other side of the waterway. Within the moment, visit the National Exhibition hall of Georgia and spend the evening getting a charge out of the environment of the Fabrika. The third day will be saved for seeing Chronicles of Georgia and the Tbilisi Ocean.

Caucasus Itinerary - Azerbaijan

<h1 dir = "auto">Amalfi Coast</h1>
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/61181696080602.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
The Amalfi Coast is a 60km stretch of coast in Campania, south of Naples.
Discover with BITBOOK how to get toAmalfi, where to stay, how to get around during your trip and much more.
&nbsp;Set between majestic mountains and the cobalt blue Tyrrhenian Sea, it offers stunning views of the Italian coast, including the most beautiful road and some of the most charming villages.


Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana is 60 km long and connects Sorrento to Salerno. This is a very narrow passage - most of it is carved into the cliff.

&nbsp;Whatever your means of road transport, the speed will always be low.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/78551696080684.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Sorrento
Starting point of the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento is located on a peninsula between the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno. The city faces the Gulf of Naples and allows for the quickest crossing to the island of Capri.

Due to its location – convenient both for touring the coast and for getting to and from Capri – Sorrento is a practical base for a quicker itinerary along the Amalfi Coast.

As it is larger and less picturesque than Positano or Amalfi, it is also the best choice for spending less on accommodation.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/24191696080727.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Positano
Sliding from the road to the edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea, Positano is the loveliest – and therefore most coveted, and consequently most expensive – of the villages along the Coast.

But if it fits in your pocket, it's worth the extravagance. Positano delivers the vertigo of the Amalfi Coast without you having to drive around. Just wander around the city, and the beach + mountain + cliff + Italy combo will be guaranteed.

In season, boats run to Capri.

Amalfi
Located at sea level, Amalfi is the historic city of the Amalfi Coast: in the 9th century there was a church in the place where its Cathedral stands.

Devoid of the pretentiousness (and designer stores) of neighboring Positano, Amalfi tends to offer better accommodation rates.

The location is very good for sightseeing: it is close to Positano and at the foot of the road that goes up to Ravello. In season, boats run to Capri.

Ravello
Commonly described as “a paradise between heaven and earth”, Ravello is the best viewpoint on the Amalfi Coast.

Ravello is not a beach village, but a mountain one – complete with elegant gardens and vineyards delicately cultivated on the hillside.

Salerno
Situated on the eastern tip of the Amalfi Coast, Salerno is a fairly ordinary resort – a large, boring city.

Its logistical advantage is having a high-speed train station – in 2h10 you are in Rome, without the risk of congestion on the road.

Capri
Less than 20 km from the Sorrento peninsula, the island of Capri fits perfectly into an itinerary along the Amalfi Coast.

It has been a desired destination since the time of the Roman emperors – Octavian and Tiberius built palaces there.

Capri has many ways to use it. It is a place that is both super chic and super touristy, attracting both jet-setters and day-trippers.

But by choosing where to stay carefully, you can find a compromise to enjoy one of the most glamorous islands in the Mediterranean.

The tourist season on the Amalfi Coast and Capri runs from April to October. Outside of these months, many things will be closed. Even during the season, some services (such as boat lines) and excursions will operate on a limited basis.

&nbsp;For warmth, good weather and everything there is to do, go from June to September, with June and September, both at the end of the season, being the best months. July and August are the hottest and busiest months (August more than July). For each of these months, book in advance using BITBOOK.

&nbsp;If you want to avoid these summer months because of the heat or crowds, go in May.

&nbsp;&nbsp;We don't recommend going in April (very cold!) or October (very cloudy, already transitioning into the rainy season).

In this article you will find all the tips on what to do in Cinque Terre. A cinematic destination with the most Mediterranean flavor of Italy and overlooking the Ligurian Sea.

&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you planning a trip to Italy, join me to discover all the secrets of Cinque Terre, a paradise with beautiful and colorful villages hanging in the Liguria region.

&nbsp;Discover with BITBOOK how to get to Cinque Terre, where to stay, how to get around during your trip and much more.


<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/53121696075588.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>

Cinque Terre is an Italian national park on the Ligurian Coast, which was made a UNESCO heritage site in 1997, with Portovenere and the islands Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto.

The five villages that form the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre (Cinque Terre National Park) are: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare.

The picturesque villages attract crowds of tourists every year, with beaches of all types. Bathed by a blue sea, which helps to calm the summer heat.

The Terres were built on the hills of the Ligurian Coast, amidst olive plantations and vineyards overlooking the sea. And they are connected by a series of trails, such as Sentiero Azzurro, the most famous of them.

Take the opportunity to get to know them from several different points. And keep an eye out for the beautiful magical hours of the day. Seeing the sunrise or sunset from these hills on the Italian coast is magical!

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/38471696075606.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>

Also make sure to go to Portovenere, a city south of Cinque Terre, built in the 12th century.

You can get there in just a 30-minute ferry ride from Riomaggiore. And even though it is not officially part of Cinque Terre, it is considered&nbsp;
Getting to Portovenere from La Spezia by car is super easy. You also have the option of traveling by boat or bus (line P, towards Portovenere). The drive is beautiful, and bordered by the Ligurian Sea.


Riomaggiore
The journey to Cinque Terre by train starts in Riomaggiore, the first terre from La Spezia.

The highlights here are the Church of San Giovanni Battista, the Castello di Riomaggiore and Via Colombo, the main street of the small village, where there are many bars and restaurants, with emphasis on Il Pescato Cucinato and the practical Mama Mia, which sells a delicious pizza.


Manarola
The next stop is Terre Manarola, an ancient village in the Cinque Terre, built during the Roman period on a rocky outcrop in the Rio di Groppo valley. This is where Cinque Terre wines, such as Sciacchetrà, are produced.

Here it is possible to have a wine tasting including a walk through the vineyards. Have you ever thought about your dream of traveling there?

Other highlights of Manarola are the Church of San Lorenzo and the marina, which during the summer turns into a beach and attracts a crowd.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/87021696075717.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>

Corniglia
Corniglia is the land at the top and was my favorite village on this trip. It is the only land that is not ‘on the sea’, but even so, it is very charming.

The village is quite small, but you can visit the Church of São Pedro, built in 1334 and the Oratory of the Flagellants of Santa Catarina.

To get to the center of the village you can use the bus that leaves from the train station – free with the Cinque Terre Card -, or climb Lardarina, a long staircase with more than 360 steps.


Vernazza
Vernazza is charming. The charming village has its origins in the Roman era and its heart during the summer is the marina, where the beach is located. You will also find here – and around the square – many bars and restaurants, such as Il Gambero Rosso, known for its delicious seafood dishes.

To complete the visit, go to the top of Castello Doria and visit the beautiful Church of Santa Margherita, an important representative of the Ligurian Gothic style, built in 1318

Monterosso al Mare
Finally, we arrived at Monterosso al Mare, which is the village known for its two beaches that are bustling during the summer. And here, the idea is this: rent an umbrella at Praia da Vila Antiga or Praia Fegina and enjoy swimming in the calm sea.

Other highlights in the upper part of Monterosso are: the Capuchin Monastery, the Church of San Francisco and the Church of San Giovanni Battista, built in 1244.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/92211696074144.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>

Victor Hugo was one of the greatest French writers of the 19th century. He is the author of masterpieces such as Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

The writer was also a committed politician, defender of human rights and freedom.

Start your literary itinerary in Paris at Maison Victor Hugo, on the second floor of the Hôtel de Rohan-Guéménée, on Place des Vosges.

The writer lived here between 1832 and 1848 and today, it houses a museum with personal objects, paintings, drawings and original manuscripts.

Head to Café de Flore, on Boulevard Saint-Germain, in the heart of Paris. Victor Hugo used to meet with other writers and intellectuals of the time, such as Balzac, Musset and George Sand.

Picasso, Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre and Hemingway were also regulars at this traditional café in Paris. And it maintains its charm and elegance from the 19th century to this day.

Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the most beautiful and oldest in Europe. It is the main setting of the novel ‘Notre-Dame in Paris’, also known as ‘The Hunchback of Notre-Dame’, published in 1831.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/58031696074161.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>

An interesting fact is that the work was a success with the public and critics and helped save the Cathedral from abandonment and demolition.

Currently, Notre-Dame Cathedral is closed due to the serious fire that occurred in 2019. However, the reconstruction work should be completed in 2024.


<h2 dir = "auto">Itinerary in Lisbon with Fernando Pessoa</h2>
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/73971696074173.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>

Fernando Pessoa is considered one of the greatest poets in the Portugal. Born in Lisbon in 1888, he lived much of his life in the Portuguese capital, where he created more than 70 pseudonyms, or heteronyms. Each with their own personalities, styles, philosophies and biographies.

Casa Fernando Pessoa is the best place to start a literary tour of Lisbon inspired by the poet.

Fernando Pessoa lived the last 15 years of his life in this three-story house in the Campo de Ourique neighborhood. Today, it houses a museum with an exciting exhibition about his life and work, as well as a library specializing in world poetry.

Head to Café do Chiado, one of the most emblematic cafés in Lisbon, to take a true trip back in time. The century-old space still preserves its original charm and elegance. And it was one of Fernando Pessoa's favorite places in the Portuguese capital.

Outside, a bronze statue of the poet marks his eternal presence there.

To complete the itinerary, go to the Jerónimos Monastery, in Belém, a UNESCO world heritage site. The poet is buried here, with other great names, such as Luís de Camões and Alexandre Herculano.


<h2 dir = "auto">Itinerary in Verona with Shakespeare</h2>
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/2161696074186.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>

Verona is one of the most beautiful cities in northern Italy and the setting for one of Shakespeare's most famous works: the tragic love story between Romeo and Juliet, published in 1597.

Although we don't know if Romeo and Giulieta actually existed, or if Shakespeare even visited Verona, as we follow in the characters' footsteps and visit some of the settings in this novel, we will discover some gems about the history and culture of Verona.

Start your itinerary at Casa di Giulieta, where the famous balcony is located where Romeo declared his love for Juliet. As this is one of Verona's main tourist attractions, arrive early.

Popular belief is that the famous balcony dates back to medieval times. However, it was only added to the building in the 1930s. And most surprising of all, there isn't even a balcony scene in Shakespeare's original play.

Also be sure to visit the bronze statue of Juliet in the courtyard. They say that whoever touches your right breast is guaranteed love.

On the second floor, there is a small museum with the costumes and bed that appear in Franco Zeffirelli's classic 1986 film. Entry is free with the Verona Card.

Head to the House of Romeo to see the place where the Cagnolo Nogarola family lived in the 14th century, who are said to be Romeo.

Complete your itinerary by visiting the Tomba di Giulieta.

Shakespeare chose the monastery of San Francesco al Corso as the setting for the tragedy of the lovers' deaths. It is located outside the city's medieval walls, on Via del Pontiere.

There is the stone sarcophagus that would have been used to bury sweet Juliet.
