If I had 30 days in Germany, I’d skip the usual Berlin-only itinerary.

I’d visit 12 cities where history, beer gardens, castles, and overlooked treasures collide.

Here’s the route…🧵 Image
Bamberg

A town built on seven hills with winding alleys and half-timbered houses. Its smoky beer is a local legend you won’t find anywhere else. Image
Heidelberg

Home to Germany’s most romantic castle ruins overlooking the Neckar River.

The old bridge and university give the whole city a timeless feel.
Regensburg

One of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe. Narrow lanes, stone bridges, and riverfront beer gardens make it a place to linger.
Lübeck

The Queen of the Hanseatic League, known for its brick Gothic skyline.

Walk through the Holstentor Gate and it feels like stepping back 500 years. Image
Rothenburg ob der Tauber

A storybook town with cobblestone streets and pastel houses. At night, the medieval walls glow under lantern light.
Dresden

Rebuilt from the ashes of World War II, it’s a mix of baroque palaces and modern energy.

The Frauenkirche is one of Europe’s most stunning churches.

Trier

Germany’s oldest city, founded by the Romans. You can still stand under the Porta Nigra gate that’s been here for 1,800 years. Image
Quedlinburg

A UNESCO gem packed with more than 1,300 half-timbered houses.

It feels untouched, like time skipped past. Image
Freiburg

Tucked against the Black Forest, it’s full of sunny squares and little streams running through the streets. The cathedral tower has one of the best views in Germany. Image
Würzburg

A wine city with a hilltop fortress and the lavish Würzburg Residence.

Grab a glass of Franconian wine on the Old Main Bridge at sunset....it’s tradition. Image
Goslar

A quiet Harz Mountains town with a thousand years of mining history. The market square is straight out of a postcard.
Passau

Where three rivers meet, with pastel buildings and a hilltop fortress watching over it all. The baroque cathedral holds the largest pipe organ in the world.

If I had 30 days to visit Italy, I’d focus on 12 cities that guarantee the richest cultural and culinary experiences.

I’d mix iconic destinations with hidden gems most travelers overlook.

Here’s the list….🧵 Image
Rome

The Eternal City is packed with history, from the Colosseum to the Pantheon.

Don’t miss wandering through Trastevere’s charming streets and stopping for an authentic gelato.
Florence

Florence is the heart of the Renaissance, filled with stunning art, architecture, and museums. Climb to Piazzale Michelangelo for a sunset view over the city’s terracotta rooftops.

Think Europe’s islands are all packed with tourists?

Think again.

These 15 hidden gems prove you can still find true serenity…..🧵 Image
Isle of Eigg, Scotland

Tiny and community-owned, Eigg feels more like a village than a tourist stop. Rolling green hills meet dramatic cliffs, with just a handful of locals to share it with. Image
Gozo, Malta

Quieter than Malta’s main island, Gozo is all honey-colored stone and sleepy fishing villages.

Its slow rhythm makes it feel worlds away from busy Valletta.

Everyone thinks the most famous national parks in the United States are the best.

Think again.

I researched all 63 parks and uncovered 15 under-the-radar gems that outshine the iconic spots….🧵

Often overlooked, this park boasts jagged peaks, alpine lakes, and over 300 glaciers.

It's a paradise for hikers and photographers seeking solitude and stunning scenery. Image

Great Basin National Park, Nevada

Home to ancient bristlecone pines and the Lehman Caves, this park offers a mix of high-desert beauty and hidden underground wonders.

Most travelers think the world’s most beautiful countries are France, Italy, or Japan.

Not even close.

These 12 blow them out of the water and hardly anyone visits them…..🧵 Image
Georgia

Medieval stone towers rise over green valleys, and vineyards have been pouring wine here for 8,000 years.

Locals will invite you in before you’ve even asked for directions.
Slovenia

Small enough to cross in a few hours, but filled with fairytale lakes, vineyards, and a sliver of Adriatic coastline.

You’ll wonder why it isn’t packed with visitors.

Most travelers think Austria is just Vienna and the Alps.

Wrong.

Here are 19 places more breathtaking than either. Most tourists never find them……🧵 Image
Hallstatt

A lakeside village so perfect it feels unreal, with pastel houses reflecting in still water. Early mornings here are pure magic before the day’s visitors arrive.
Salzburg

Mozart’s hometown blends baroque beauty with alpine views.

Wander the old streets, and music seems to follow you everywhere.

Everyone talks about Paris and Rome for food.

But they’re missing the real gems.

These 15 European cities serve up better meals—and you’ve probably never even heard of half of them....🧵 Image
San Sebastián, Spain

This small city in the Basque Country has more Michelin stars per capita than anywhere else in Europe. But the real magic?

Bologna, Italy

Skip Rome….Bologna is where Italians go to eat. It’s the home of ragù (what Americans call “bolognese”), handmade tortellini, and some of the richest pasta in the country. Image
