When deciding where to stay in Porto, you have a variety of options, each neighborhood offering something unique, whether you’re looking for culture, nightlife, beaches, or a mix of everything. I’ve been to Porto several times and used to live nearby. Porto feels like Lisbon’s edgier sibling, with its sprawling, creative vibe, full of character and history. While some areas may look a bit rough, just beneath the surface, you’ll find beautiful architecture, delicious food, and friendly people. Ribeira: Historic and Atmospheric Ribeira is the historic heart of Porto, located on the banks of the Douro River. It’s a maze…

In the distance, we saw the old town perched on a cliff. Our taxi driver navigated around the edge of the town, trying different streets but often hitting dead-ends or one-way roads. He frequently checked the city map, mumbling in Bulgarian, searching for a way through the ancient walls. Eventually, we decided to walk instead of continuing to drive. Feeling bad about not getting us there, the taxi driver didn’t charge us the full fare, though we gave him some money for his efforts. This kind gesture foreshadowed the warmth we’d experience over the next five nights in Plovdiv. We…

When you think of European cities that are great for digital nomads, Budapest might not be the first place that comes to mind. However, after spending two months living there, I found it to be one of the top spots for remote workers. Hungary, once part of the communist bloc, has a turbulent history. But Budapest has transformed in ways that left me pleasantly surprised. The remnants of communist times have been turned into famous ruin bars, giving the city a unique charm and energy that erases its once gloomy atmosphere. Both an ex-member of the Habsburg Empire and the…

London is a vibrant city brimming with things to do, from fascinating museums and attractions to historic castles and beautiful parks. However, the city also holds a darker past, and one of the most intriguing ways to explore Victorian London’s grim history is by joining a Jack the Ripper tour.
