Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, or Dresden - popular German destinations. Here's why you should add Düsseldorf to your list of places to visit in Germany.
Last September we stopped over in Vienna for a few days, as part of our trek across Europe. We visited seven hotels in 14 days, and a new destination every few days. Vienna was a must-see.
For Valentine's Day this year, we made a trip back to Slovakia to re-visit Bratislava, after our September 2024 visit resulted in a washout, with terrible floods across the region, and torrential rain.
On the 31st December, we decided to welcome the New Year in Prague, and within hours we were on our way to the Old Town Square for midnight.
In September 2024 we travelled across Europe, visiting Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland. Halfway through our trip, we checked into the Hotel Matysak for two nights.
