I love a Saturday day trip. Train tickets in the UK are incredibly expensive, but I still try my best to get out of London every now and again. Today, I’m taking you to Cambridge, a famous university city in England, about an hour north from the British capital. I have now been to Cambridge a few times, and I’m going to include photos from various trips. There are enough things to do in Cambridge to keep you busy for a couple of days at least, so try to plan your trip before you go to make sure you manage to see the places you’re most interested in.

Living in London, I’ve had numerous chances to go on day trips to various seaside resorts. There are several coastal towns that I can get to in under 90 minutes, and I try to make the most of it. I don’t always post about those trips. In all honesty, having been to Brighton over a dozen times, I don’t discover anything new there anymore. However, this January, I went on two day trips to the seaside, and experienced two memorable events. And I just had to share them here. Keep reading to find out what I saw!

Stonehenge, the characteristic and mysterious site famous around the world, has been on my list of places to visit for absolute ages. But despite living in London, a mere 80 miles away, for 6 years, I only finally managed to visit Stonehenge a couple of weeks ago. The main reason why I postponed that trip for so long was that it seemed tricky to get to without a car. However, there are ways! In this post, I will tell you about getting to Stonehenge, but also describe the visit itself. Here is how the trip was organised, and most importantly, what you can expect from visiting Stonehenge.

If you’re in London this week, this is your sign: run, don’t walk to Canary Wharf! Winter Lights – an annual, free event is back until January 31st. It’s a great idea for something to do on a free evening! The walking trail runs through the already stunning, urban area of Canary Wharf, and features over a dozen light and sound installations by renowned artists from all around the world. It’s well organised, accessible, and offers an opportunity to admire unique, elaborate installations.

Today, I’m taking you on a photo trip around London at Christmas. You’ll see the major Christmas markets and the famous Trafalgar Square tree, which goes viral on social media every year, for the wrong reasons.

Trips to Christmas markets are amongst my all-time favourite things to do. As soon as the Christmas period ends, I start counting down days to when the Christmas markets start again. In the UK, my favourite Christmas markets are in Manchester, Winchester, and Birmingham. Overall, the best Christmas market, in my opinion, is probably in Vienna, Austria. But today, let me take you to a few Christmas markets in my homeland, Poland. The one in Wroclaw is probably amongst the best in Europe!

I’ve already posted about my day in Bellinzona, a stunning Swiss town with three castles. Today, I’m taking you to Milan, Italy, where I spent a few days. I visited the most popular landmarks, enjoyed some delicious Italian food, and even had a chance to go on an afternoon trip to one of the famous Italian lakes. Here is how I spent a few days in Milan, plus some ideas of activities I didn’t manage to fit in my schedule this time.
