Visiting the Pope
Not far from Rome is the small town of Castel Gandolfo. And it is famous for the fact that it houses the summer residence of the Pope. At the time I was there, the residence itself was not accessible to tourists.

Milan trail of Leonardo
The castle is very large with many galleries and passages. Single entrance ticket for all museums inside. Plan 4.5 hours if you want to walk around the whole. I went to look at Michelangelo's Pieta Rondanini and da Vinci's diaries.

You won't be able to get past.
The most popular place in Milan. I was not in the sales season, so I didn’t buy anything (or purchases, or sights : ) I walked, admired the architecture, it’s beautiful, but there was no strong trace left in my soul.

Stone lace
When you go out to the square in front of the Cathedral, and the sun illuminates every curlicue, it seems that it is floating in the sky like a cloud. Built in the flamboyant Gothic style of white marble, the Milan Cathedral is the 5th largest in the world.

Pines and the sea
Punta Rata Beach is considered the cleanest in Europe and is one of the 10 cleanest beaches in the world. This is true, a wonderful clear sea and air filled with the scent of pines.

Mausoleum of Diocletian
The biggest irony of history is that the burial place of a man who fanatically destroyed Christians turned into a Catholic church. The temple was erected in the 7th century, and the graceful bell tower in the 13th.

Ancient Roman pearl of Croatia.
I would call Split the city of Diocletian. A huge imperial palace, on the remains of which the city grew. The palace is surprisingly well preserved. Even if you are completely far from ancient Roman history and culture, the grandiose remains of the palace will not leave you indifferent.

Favorite of the French kings
Even during the campaigns of Julius Caesar, Reims became an important strategic center of the Gallo-Roman Champagne and the capital of the province. In the 5th century, on the site of the collapsed baths, the Basilica of Our Lady and the baptistery were built, to which King Clovis I was baptized.

Defender of Time
Near the Pompidou Center, this square is occupied by an unusual fountain. I am not a strong fan of modern art, but it will be interesting for children. When I was there, it was hot and the kids were splashing right in the fountain.

Square of two theaters
2 theaters overlook the square - the City and the Chatelet, in which Fyodor Chaliapin sang. I went to look at the Châ telet fountain, standing on the square, decorated with sphinxes and a column in honor of Napoleon's victories.

Nostalgia for Italy.
I, as a fan of Florence, could not ignore the palace of Maria Medici, which is so reminiscent of the Florentine palazzo. Today, the French Senate is located here, so it is very difficult to see inside the palace itself (not a museum), by appointment once a month (see the website of the Senate), or y...

Favorite vacation spot for Parisians
The former military parade ground, along which the young Napoleon marched, is now a vast park with shady alleys and fountains. After visiting the Eiffel Tower, you can walk a little along it and relax in the shade of the trees.

Notre Dame de Paris
It is impossible to visit Paris and not visit Notre Dame de Paris. And not just for a tick to be noted: "I was there", but to feel the greatness of this place. No one can say how many generations of people prayed here, since there was also an ancient Roman temple on this place before the constructio...

Madeleine
Very beautiful church, reminiscent of an ancient Greek temple. Be sure to look. And if you go forward from the church in the direction of the Place de la Concorde, then you will fall on the Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré , on which there is no house at number 13 (it’s good to be a superstitious empr...

The Statue of Liberty
With so many attractions, and especially shops : ) like in Paris, you are unlikely to have time for a romantic walk around the island. And to see the Statue of Liberty, I recommend you take a boat ride on the Seine, and at the same time see the bridges.

Just a park
I do not like the French geometric garden. As for me, even the same Uman (Ukraine) is much more interesting, it lacks some kind of comfort, mystery, even, straight, under the ruler.
