If you go to the Algarve, you will probably fly to Faro. Most people travel straight to their next destination, but spending a day in Faro is really not a bad idea. I want to share my tips for fun things to do and the best sights to see in Faro with you.
The beautiful town of Tavira is in the east of the Algarve, just over half an hour’s drive from Faro. Divided in two by the Gilão River, it is full of narrow streets with alternating white houses and houses with Portuguese tiles. Tavira deserves a spot on your Algarve itinerary!
When I think of the Algarve, I think of the beaches with the cliffs that change from yellow to gold with the sun’s position. But a little behind those beautiful beaches are many lovely villages and towns. Loulé, for example. Best known for the Saturday market, but there is more to do in Loulé!
Eating in Faro is a feast. The city has cozy cafes, trendy restaurants, and authentic taverns where you can enjoy the best Portuguese dishes and international cuisines. This blog lists my favorite breakfast and dinner spots in Faro.
Tavira in Portugal bursts with restaurants and breakfast spots. And, like me, you’ll probably only be there for a day or maybe two. Then it isn’t easy to choose. So, I’ll share my favorite places to eat in Tavira.
I never go to a restaurant alone at home. When traveling, I sometimes don’t have a choice and have to eat by myself. It feels a bit uncomfortable dining alone. I’m not looking forward to it, but eating out in Lisbon (Portugal) alone is pretty ok. In fact, I enjoy eating out alone!
Between the raindrops, it is easy to see that Briançon, France, is a lovely city. The colored facades, the views of the Serre Chevalier valley, and the impressive fortifications do not lose their appeal in any weather condition. But hopefully, you will get a bit of sun during your visit to the highest city in France!
Whether you travel to the French Alps for a skiing holiday or want to soak up the sun in the Côte d’Azur, you can easily get there by night train. But how comfortable is that really? I tested the night train in France for you!
What kind of crazy person goes to a winter sports area in the fall? Well, me. I’m going to Serre Chevalier in France at the end of October, right out of season, because I want to see the autumn colors and the larch trees just before they lose their needles. And, of course, I want to explore the area. There is plenty to do in Serre Chevalier, even in autumn.
