Especially in winter, it’s always a gamble whether you’ll make it to Kazbegi when driving the Georgian Military Highway. The road often gets closed without warning. My tour from Tbilisi to Kazbegi starts with a flat tire and ends… nowhere near Kazbegi. And yet, I still had an amazing day!
Tbilisi has endless accommodation options. From swanky hotels to simple hostels and cozy apartments, this city has it all. While I haven’t tested every single place (though wouldn’t that be a dream job?), I’ve stayed at quite a few spots. So, let me share my honest reviews!
It’s quite the tongue-twister: Uplistsikhe, the abandoned cave city in central Georgia. It’s one of the oldest settlements in the Caucasus region. This city, carved into the rocks, reminds me of a lunar landscape and the Flintstones all at once! Uplistsikhe is easy to visit, and I’ll tell you all about it.
Sure, you could race around the entire island in 10 days, but why would you want to? You’d spend way too much time in the car. Instead, limit your Icelandic road trip to the bottom half. This itinerary shows you tons of Iceland between Snæfellsnes and Höfn.
I have the impression that there are more restaurants and bars in Cádiz than there are houses. Lots of tapas bars, and lots of international cuisines. So it’s basically impossible to eat everywhere and give you a complete overview. But I’ve tried quite a few places for you, and the ones below have made it onto my list of favorite restaurants and bars in Cádiz!
It is probably the most famous spa in the world: the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. I am hesitant about whether it is worth the money, but I decide to go anyway. I want to see it with my own eyes, and yes, the water is as really blue as in the photos. I am happy to tell you what to expect and how you can perhaps arrange a small discount on the Blue Lagoon.
Close your eyes and pay up. At least, that’s the strategy I use when I drink a coffee, order a cocktail, or go out for dinner in Reykjavík. Don’t think about it, because then I’ll spontaneously go on a diet. So yes, it’s expensive, but in Reykjavík, there are really nice coffee shops, bars, and restaurants that I simply don’t want to miss out on. So make your own selection and spend, spend, spend!
Reykjavík in Iceland is the northernmost capital in the world. It is a compact, quiet city. There are a handful of sights, street art, and several museums. You can spot whales and even see the Northern Lights – if you’re lucky! I’m happy to share fun things to do in Reykjavík, so read on.
It feels a little like no man’s land. While many travelers do a mini road trip of Snæfellsnes, West Iceland seems almost deserted further inland from Borgarnes. But if you look carefully, you will find Icelandic gems here. I am happy to give you some tips for this part of West Iceland.
