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.
Quedlinburg
A UNESCO gem packed with more than 1,300 half-timbered houses.
It feels untouched, like time skipped past.
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.
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.
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.

Most people think abandoned places are creepy and dangerous.
Not even close.
I studied 100 worldwide, and these 10 are more beautiful than tourist hotspots…..🧵
Kolmanskop, Namibia
Once a diamond mining town, Kolmanskop is now slowly being swallowed by the desert.
Sand dunes spill into the abandoned houses, creating a surreal mix of decay and natural beauty.
Gunkanjima (Hashima Island), Japan
This former coal mining island looks like a battleship from afar. Its crumbling buildings rise dramatically from the sea, making it a photographer’s paradise.
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….🧵
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…..🧵
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.
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.
Most travelers think Austria is just Vienna and the Alps.
Wrong.
Here are 19 places more breathtaking than either. Most tourists never find them……🧵
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.
