The coastal town of Lagos is a nice mix of beaches, water activities and restaurants – and a vibrant nightlife for those coming to party. The city appears to be very popular among Australians for surfing. Because of its location in the west of the Algarve, you can also do all kinds of trips from Lagos. But first, let’s see what there is to do in Lagos itself!
In Lagos (Algarve) you’ll find many, many food options and cozy cafes. So, I have done my best to have coffee, food, and drinks in as many places as humanly possible in a few days. These are my favorite spots in Lagos.
Hearty German fare or a fresh ceviche? A wine tasting or a tea tasting? I have severe choice stress in Hannover. The largest city in Lower Saxony is perfect for lazy coffee moments, extensive breakfasts, tasty dinners, and everything in between.
Do you know the story about the pied piper from Hamelin? And did you know Hamelin actually exists? This cute town in the north of Germany is a must-visit in Lower Saxony. A few hours is enough for a mini city trip.
Celle has one of the largest half-timbered ensembles in Europe – that is, a lot of beautiful half-timbered houses in just a few square meters. That is also the biggest attraction of the town. But there is more to explore. Will you join me?
Hannover’s urban forest is twice the size of New York’s Central Park. The mayor would prefer a car-free center, and there are all kinds of initiatives under the heading ‘More nature in the city.’ So you guessed it right: there are plenty of green hotspots in Hannover. I’m happy to show you the way.
Hannover is a very green city in itself, but if you are looking for even more greenery and space, plan a visit to the Steinhuder Meer. This nature park and lake of the same name are ideal for a day out and about in nature.
A hairpin bend here, a eucalyptus tree there. The drive to the mountain village of Monchique in the Algarve alone is worth it. Located in the Serra de Monchique mountain range, this village is a welcome, refreshing change from Algarve’s famous coastal strip.
Do you feel like you could use some inner peace and me-time? A yoga holiday or yoga weekend in the Netherlands is wonderfully relaxing and consists of so much more than just yoga. Fantastic accommodations, beautiful walks, healthy food, and more. Check the list with great options for yoga retreats in the Netherlands.
