Fries, mussels, chocolate and beer? We must be in Belgium! Self-proclaimed chocolate capital, Bruges prides itself on its outstanding chocolate. Little boutiques and shops are lined up in almost all the streets in the city center, throwing chocolate into your face. For chocoholics, the chocolate museum might be for you.
The area has made a great deal of effort to morph into a cultural hotspot. Abandoned buildings changed into clubs, restaurants, gyms, youth centers etc. Cities tried their hardest to modify the existing landscape by creating parks and cooperating with artists and architects.
Preservation through alternative use.

What started as a cheerful and supposedly relaxing weekend in Paris turned into a trip full of thoughts.
I should have put up a post sooner about Heidelberg, but I did not have enough footage do compile a worthy photo collection…I just never seem to have the time to take my camera with me. There are just so many places I want to capture on camera..
I know a lot of people preach to stay off the beaten path and explore places where no tourists has ever set his foot on. And indeed, some of my most treasured travel experiences come from getting lost somewhere away from crowded spots and tourist traps. However, I do think that you should also give the most famous tourist attractions a go, I mean, there is a reason why those places became popular in the first place.
I have heard several travel blogger rave about this insider’s tip, hidden between the popular tourist destinations of Italy and Croatia. With some ridiculously cheap bus ticket offers to Ljubljana, the opportunity was too good to resist.
Ljubljana’s food scene genuinely surprised us. With modern restaurants at almost every corner in the old town, there are plenty of options to choose from. Most of the restaurants along the river looked fairly new and covered a broad variety of good quality world cuisine.
