Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Things to do in Mostar. Balkans with kids.

Before we start, please tell me what is the first thought that comes to your mind when you hear: “Bosnia and Herzegovina”. If that thought is anything else than: “amazing”, “OMG”, “no words” or “when are we going”, it means you haven’t travelled to Bosnia and Herzegovina at all or you were there during war. […]

We decided to visit Brussels during our trip to Cologne. The distance between the two cities is not big, so you can plan to visit the capital of Belgium during a one-day trip. We arrived to Brussels by train. It’s a beautiful November day, golden leaves and sunny golden Autumn in full swing. We started […]

Day 1: The Notre Dame Cathedral and the Seine River Start your day with the Notre Dame Cathedral. The is usually a few hours line to enter the cathedral. For us, seeing the Notre Dame from the outside was more than enough. Forget about streets, the Seine River is the main “road” in Paris. On […]

It seems that there is one place on Earth where all the possible cultures and nationalities gather in summer and this place is the most rural part of Poland – Podlasie. The region itself is worth quite a few separate blog entries, as apart from the beautiful nature, you can’t easily find such a small […]
With special thanks to all participants and those who organized this amazing event. You guys do great job!!!! SłAWA Feel free to share:
If you live longer time in one place, it always somehow happens. You simply get used to the place and do not notice the beauty of it. We have been living in Munich for a few years now, and on the way our attention to the city faded. We barely made pictures of it, we […]
The 295 km long Adriatic coastline in Montenegro with cities such as Bar, Budva, Sveti Stefan and Ulcinj (already more oriental in character due to its location close to the Albanian border) is definitely very tempting for anyone looking for nice beaches and warm sea. We heard a lot about it and decided to check […]

From Bay of Kotor to the heart of Durmitor About roads of Montenegro we can write a whole book 🙂 It’s true that they are more steep and curvy than the roads you probably know, but as long you keep driving the main ones you don’t have to worry about anything. The main roads are […]
The Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), 28km long and surrounded by two massifs of the Dinaric Alps (the Orjen and the Lovcen), is definitely the most amazing bay of the Adriatic Sea we’ve seen.

Why so far: Questions we often heard were: Why Montenegro? Why so far?… Well, why not? The idea to travel to Montenegro we had a few years before our trip. We usually buy either used books or the ones on sale. This time among whole bunch of thrillers I found a tour guide through Montenegro […]
While picking our places to stay we had to take into consideration how far they are from each other. There are really many beautiful places on the Adriatic coastline, which do not have a touristic standard ( Makarska is very popular, especially among Poles). However, as we were going before the high season, we didn’t […]
