Pancakes in Amsterdam: brunch at the Breakfast Club
If I had to choose a favorite breakfast it would surely be a stack of pancakes. (Confession: or just something from a bakery in Paris). Sometimes I bake them myself, but I find it even more fun (and easy) to eat pancakes at a nice breakfast place. Especially when I’m in Amsterdam for the weekend and I’ve been to the Breakfast Club a few times. Where, as the name suggests, you can order breakfast dishes all day long. So I ate Pancakes in Amsterdam. Every now and then I combine a concert with a weekend in Amsterdam. And since a…

Cheap hotel in Paris: Campanile Paris Est – Pantin
Paris is an expensive city, so every Euro you can save is one. During my city break, I stayed in a cheap hotel in Paris. (Or well, just off the periferique, but very close to the metro). I shared my room with a friend and for four nights we paid €304. I would like to share my experience with this hotel. Ernestina and I booked our Paris city break more than four months before departure. We chose a weekend in April because we were hoping for nice weather but not too many tourists. Initially we had booked an Airbnb, but…

Good restaurant in Bruges Chagall
While visiting the Belgian city of Bruges, a dinner in a local restaurant should not be missed. After virtually visiting quite a few restaurants, our choice fell on restaurant Chagall on Sint-Amandsstraat. Mainly because the menu sounded good and most of the reviews are almost positive. The Sint-Amandsstraat is in my opinion one of the nicest streets in Bruges. The street is car-free, which makes it extra nice to walk through it. When you walk all the way down the street you end up at the Grote Markt. In the street you see mostly brick houses with stepped gables. A…

Rooftop terrace in Prague: Terasa U Prince
The Instagram hotspot in Prague is the rooftop terrace of Hotel U Prince. The rooftop terrace is described as one of the most photogenic spots in Prague.

So we had lunch at Terasa U Prince and took lots of pictures of the l view of the city. I would like to take you to this place with the most beautiful view in Prague. Instagram spot Prague Before our city…

Camping in Vienna
During a citytrip, the obvious thing to do is to stay in a hotel. But did you know that it is often possible to camp near a city? That way you can sleep in a peacefull and quiet environment. Enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city during the day and return to your campsite in the evening. Moreover, camping is often a lot cheaper of staying in a hotel. I went camping in Vienna and I am happy to share my experience. Where do I sleep in Vienna? With that question, I started looking for hotels. Pretty quickly I…

Cheap hotel in Paris – Hôtel Littéraire Marcel Aymé
Are you going to Paris for a few days and are you looking for a cheap hotel in Paris? Then I would really like to share this tip with you! During a city trip to Paris, I stayed at Hôtel Littéraire Marcel Aymé. A hotel in Montmatre, within walking distance of the Sacre Coeur and the Moulin Rouge. I really liked the hotel and the price wasn’t too bad! Before my city trip to Paris, I booked my hotels. Initially I looked through Booking.com, but found out by accident that I could also book hotels through Tui. (At first I thought…

Vanuit Nederland is de Belgische stad Brugge niet eens zo ver rijden. Dus het is een ideale bestemming voor een weekendje weg.

Graag deel ik wat er te doen is in Brugge tijdens een stedentrip in deze gezellige Belgische stad. Gratis parkeren in Brugge Vanuit Nederland is Brugge het gemakkelijkst te bereiken met de auto. Die moet je natuurlijk ook ergens kwijt als je de stat in gaat. Ik boekte een hotel, hotel Olympia, zonder parkeerplekken. Maar op nog geen 200…

Guided bike tour in Prague
As far as I am concerned, biking with a guide is the best way to get to know a new city. In a short period of time, you get to see a lot of the city. You get information about the place where you are and it gives you the opportunity to ask questions to someone who lives in the city. So obviously, I booked a guided bike tour in Prague when I was there on a city trip with Ernestina. We booked our bike tour through Bajabikes. This is a company where you can book bike tours in several…

Brunch in Antwerp
What is a good place for brunch in Antwerp? That question I asked my colleagues before I headed in that direction for a weekend. A colleague tipped the WASBAR and after seeing the pictures on the Internet I was immediately excited. We ended up having brunch at the WASBAR in Antwerp and all I can say is it really comes highly recommended! The Laundry Bar is a chain of restaurants/laundryettes that you can find in several Belgian cities. The concept is the same everywhere, the WASBAR has several AEG washing machines and dryers that you can use for a fee.…
