This is such a romantic place to come at night, with pretty lights and the fountains. I've eaten at the resturants here several times and never had a bad meal. The history of the square is really interesting too, long and thin it used to be used for chariot racing and also was flooded for boat races!

Taking over 500 years to complete, this church is one of the largest in the world. The church has hundreds of gargoyles and statues that are absoluetely stunning! You must be dressed appropriately, no bare shoulders or above the knee skirts but it's a church, so that is expected. You will really be blown away by it's beauty.

Madrid’s Plaza Mayor has the look and feel of the quintessential plaza of Old Europe. It’s the perfect place in the city centre to kick back and sip on some Spanish wine, munch on some tapas, and just take it all in. If you can arrange it so you’re there around dusk, that’s an amazing time to soak it up. Loads of people are out (both locals and tourists), and no matter which direction you’re looking…pristine visages await you. There’s plenty of affordable hotels and hostels within walking distance, and safety and security is a given.

Granted the Duomo is likely the most popular tourist attraction in Milan, but it’s definitely earned that distinction. Pure beauty. As you approach this cathedral, you can feel it in the air that you’re nearing something holy, massive and almost unreal. Once inside, it’s dark as ever and perfect for setting the ambience. Ladies, you’ll need to cover up your shoulders and legs…just an fyi. I would also recommend you pay the few Euro’s fee to get to the top of the roof. The scenic views of the city are breathtaking, and to gets so close to the spires is priceless. You gotta go!
