Of course, being in "Galatasaray" (this is the name of this area), we could not help but visit the famous Galata Tower. After standing in a long line, we took the elevator to the observation deck of the tower.
The Tallinn City Museum is located in an old house with a luxurious wooden staircase. The exposition of the museum is not very large, and tells about the life of Tallinn from the Middle Ages to the end of the twentieth century.
To tell the truth, this is not a museum, but a room of fairy tales, and it makes no sense to go here without children. In different fabulous "compartments" there are mannequin dolls representing one or another Andersen's fairy tale.
The stupidest museum I've ever been to. Its exposition consists of obscene jokes and jokes, the most cultural of which is the interruption of the background music pouring from the speakers in the "rest room" with the sound of a rolling fart.
Since childhood, I have been reserved about zoos, but the zoo in Vienna even delighted me. It occupies part of the Schö nbrunn Park - that's what the Schö nbrunn Zoo is called.
The beautiful park near the palace is one of the best places in Vienna. But, nevertheless, it is better to come here after visiting the central part of the city. You can spend the whole day in the park, since access to it is free.
Walking around Margaret Island, you are unlikely to pass by a local attraction - the ruins of a Dominican monastery. Here, the daughter of King Bela IV, Margarita, who was given to the nun, died.
Margaret Island in Budapest performs approximately the same function as the Hydropark in Kyiv. This is one of the resting places for citizens tired of the dust and noise of the metropolis, and there is nothing better than on a hot summer day to take a pleasure boat at the Freedom Bridge and go strai...
The beginning of November is not the best time to visit: only two of the many skansen houses were open. : (I really liked the menagerie with funny clumsy bears. Also on the territory of the skansen there is a playground with attractions for children, but, apparently, due to the low season, it also d...
For lovers of everything non-standard and authentic, I advise you to start exploring Stockholm from the Ö stermalm market. This covered market is over 125 years old and is housed in a beautiful brick building.
This is a museum for those who like to get to the bottom of things. Few people know that on the site of Budapest there was once a city founded in the 1st century AD. by the ancient Romans.
This is a small old street-museum. It houses the art and craft workshops of the "Guild of Masters of Katharina". Free and free access is open to each workshop. Here you can see an artist at work, printing an etching, a potter firing a vase.
This is one of the youngest and best museums in Tallinn. The pride of his collection is the Lembit submarine, which back in 2011 was the world's oldest submarine afloat. The boat was restored and in 2012 placed in a museum "for dry storage", now it is open to visitors.
I must say right away that in fact this castle has nothing to do with Dracula. One of its last owners was the Romanian Queen Maria, and therefore the exposition in the castle is dedicated to her.
A wonderful place where you can buy a souvenir suitable for your temperament at any time of the year - from a magnet to an original carbon steel knife. By the way, knives are not cheap here, but I’ll tell you a little secret: before the souvenir market closes (and it closes quite early, at three in ...
For several years now we have been starting our walks in Helsinki from Katajanokki. This is a beautiful respectable area with blocks of houses built in the Art Nouveau style and populated by wealthy residents.
This is one of the most popular flea markets in Helsinki. A couple of years ago, you could look at the "antiques" and ask the price of it all year round and every day - in the indoor market.
A very interesting museum where you can spend the whole day and see things that you never knew existed before. For example, painted wedding ...rakes or grandfather clocks in the form of a woman with a dial instead of a face.
Fortress Suomenlinna or Sveaborg is perfectly visible from the board of the ferry "Viking line" when approaching Helsinki. So get your camera ready and fix on the port side of the ship to capture the picturesque views of the fortress, located on several islands.
