Last Christmas lights in Vienna 🇦🇹

Random night shots from Prague 🥃

Prague is known as “The City of a Hundred Spires”. The historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Vltava River flows right through the heart of the city.

Franz Kafka was born in Prague and the city has one of the oldest astronomical clocks in the world (installed in 1410). #

Once you’re in Prague, you’re into Chimney cake aka Trdelník 🥮 🤤

The most famous Prague Christmas market 🎄

We always wanted to visit this christmas market in Prague, the one people are always talking about. I have had the chance this year and honestly this was mesmerising 🤩

Last year we made Gingerbread houses with our friends🏘️
It was such an incredible experience 💕

Mercado de San Miguel, Madrid

It’s one of the oldest markets in Madrid. It still keeps the old-school Spanich markets charm, just much bettee lighting and fancier tapas 🍲

You can literally taste Spain in one place. People line up for fresh oysters and octopus like it’s a festival. We have also tried this one, a bit exotic I must say 😋

We took the Santiago Bernabéu tour in Madrid, on a total whim and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of the day! 🥳
We had such a great time exploring the stadium and soaking in the Real Madrid spirit, though Farhan Fuad Ronok is not a madrista 🤓

🏰 Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real de Madrid)

Rising gracefully above the city, the Royal Palace of Madrid is a masterpiece of grandeur and symmetry. Once home to Spain’s royal family, it now stands as one of Europe’s most magnificent palaces and every corner of it reflects the power and artistry of the Spanish monarchy.
Step outside and you’ll find sweeping views over the Campo del Moro Gardens and the Almudena Cathedral. Even if you don’t go inside, simply standing before its façade feels like stepping into another century!

🏛️ Plaza Mayor

Just a short walk from Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor is Madrid’s beating heart. A grand, sun-soaked square surrounded by red-brick buildings, ornate balconies, and lively cafés spilling into the arcades. Once the stage for royal events, bullfights, and markets, it’s now a gathering place for locals and travelers alike.
The statue of King Philip III watches over you when you stroll.
Visit in the early morning for quiet charm, or come at sunset when the golden light fills the square with a warm glow 😍

If Madrid is a city that never slows down, then Parque El Retiro is its deep breath, a place where locals and travelers alike pause to enjoy the rhythm of nature, art, and everyday life.

Originally created in the 17th century as a royal retreat for King Philip IV, El Retiro (which means “The Retreat”) was once a private playground of palaces and fountains. It opened to the public in the late 19th century, and since then, it’s become Madrid’s most beloved park, a space where joggers, musicians, skaters, and poets all find their corner of peace.
