Have you ever heard about Strasbourg? It is a city located in Alsace, France. It's pretty close to German so you can see a lot of German influences throughout the city. Not to mention, a stunning Cathedral in the middle of the city who successfully steal the attention of both tourists and locals.

Without any doubt, Rome is a really rich city when we are speaking about culture. Every 15 minutes walking probably you wanna stop and take a picture of a nice building, great fountains and stop a while for a museum. It's even hard to visit everything in 3 days. You need more. Not too mention you have Collosseum and Vatican City, each probably takes a whole day to visit.
​
By the city itself, Naples offers a lot of museums as well, don't forget beautiful church you can see everywhere. Each hour you can hear the bell one after another just like a serenade. But when it comes to history, just 30 minutes by train from the city, you could visit Pompeii, everyone knows what is it. This amazing place is really huge, with a mindblowing history and undoubtly nice scenery.

1. First thing first: communicate is hard if you don't understand basic Spanish. 
I did learn Spanish a bit for a year and to be honest I forgot almost everything, after 3 days in Spain I just remembered some words (thanks to google) and finally can get my life a bit easier. The locals they speak English but not so many, even in some tapas bars they will prefer Spanish over English and sometimes you have to count on your body language just to order a food because you will never know the name.

2. Spaniards: souriants
I JUST LOVE HOW SMILEY AND FRIENDLY THE PEOPLE ARE. (note: even if you don't speak Spanish)

3. Sorry to be sounded so greedy but I just love how they put the electricity outlet here and there beside your table. Just bring your charger everywhere, you will survive.

4. Well not that survived, because usually they don't have wifi.

5. Make sure you download your offline map on your phone, or bought a map. I have to be honest that walking will be tiring because from one place to another is kind of far in Malaga but worth the view!

1. Visit parks!
In Amsterdam there's a lot of hidden parks, well it is basically on the map but no one really goes there except locals. By going to the parks you can see the tendance of the locals, how they usually spend their day or small time in the parks. There are several cool parks you could visit:
- Vondelpark
- Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam
- Oosterpark
- ARTIS : Zoo - well this one is the most touristy but it is definitely worthy to go there 

2. Ditch the tram: bike instead
Oh yeah after 15 minutes in Amsterdam you would know exactly who rules the streets: bikers. They run fast (I'm not joking at all), sometimes they go through the traffic light (sorry), and you will see the bell's voice right away when you stand in their way. Well, instead of hating them, just join the group! You can rent a bike anywhere even sometimes from your hostels. Believe me: it's way cheaper than the tram. And in Amsterdam, in 20 minutes you can get anywhere you want.

3. Buy 3-4days ticket or OV-chipkaart
If you really wanna take the tram never, ever, ever try the one hour ticket. It's expensive and I promise you, you will ended up buy too much and spent too much money on the transportation. If you enjoy walking (like I do), I suggest you to buy the OV-chipkaart insead, so most of the time you can walk and use it only when you need it. Plus, you can keep it if you're going back next time. Trust me I went there for 6 days and I only recharge for 10€, the rest was like, I'm walking everywhere
​

Basically there are soooo much things you could do here, I will share what I did there. Here are several things I believe you should try:

- take a boat tour
Well it basically cost you around 12€. But please don't go there directly to buy, perhaps you should ask if they have a package with the wine tasting.
​
I was a little upset when I knew that if I bought the boat ticket, I could go to the Ferreira winery, for free. The thing is, I went to Ferreira first and then I took the boat tour. I told them that I paid for the tour and the boat lady gave me a discount (They don't even ask my ticket/receipt, maybe you should try it to get a discount-- if you know what I mean). So, I paid for 9€ and go directly to the boat

It goes under the bridge and the other places around. There's some like tape recorded tour played on board but you won't really hear that because of the amazing views. And probably the boat is full of people.


​
- Wine tasting, wine tour, wine cellars... Wine, wine and wine
Caves Ferreira, Caves Croft, Espaço Porto Cruz, Caves Calem  and the others. You name it. There are so many wine cellars, and of course wine shop. Try the very famous Port wine. They are unbelievably sweet, with higher alcohol (careful not to over indulge it).

It was cheap, there are four famous type of Port Wines: white wine, and three red wines: Tawny, Rosé and Ruby.

Some parts of the city you can even taste green wine. You should ask from the locals to get one.

If you wanna bought one for souvenir I would suggest you to buy it here. Hence, don't worry too much because at the airport you could buy some Port wine in the duty free. Enjoy it while it lasts, the best Port wine you can get is in Porto (duh, obviously)

Maybe all the thing you know about Porto is just about the Port Wine... Or maybe you don't, you know nothing. Well Porto, or Oporto, is the second largest city in Portugal after it's capital. Beside the wineries, you can see beautiful buildings and outstanding transportation (I'm talking about how clean the metro is!), there are so many things you should do while you're in the city elected The Best European Destinantion ​in 2014

Open from Monday to Saturday, that's enough to make your tummy satisfied with the signature Porto dish, Francesinha, which literally mean french lady. Well, to be honest with you, after eating that I don't feel like a lady at all! The portion is really big and there are several types of Francesinha, but I suggest you to go with the special one. Or you could go ask the waiter, don't worry because they speak english very well. 

It's not that expensive, well it is for a Francesinha, but this café won several awards throughout the years. It will cost you around 7-10€. I personally recommend you to go in weekdays probably around 2pm, because once I went there around 7pm and I could see the long queue outside the café. Just to remind you that your stomach should be empty, because like seriously, this thing is huge!

I also ordered a vegetable soup, it is a typical Portuguese dish. I found many locals eat the soup, it's a bit creamy with many veggies inside, it costs only around 1,20€. Be careful when you order things, because like I said before, the  portion is really big, it could make you feel a bit bloated. I also ordered the house wine, it's a green wine. I was a bit confused at first but then I soon found out that that's a typical wine in Porto.
