Milan, Italy
The grandeur, the fashion, the Aperol Spritz! Milan is Italy’s most wealthy city and its 2nd largest after Rome. The city is Rome & Venice’s less ‘typically touristy’ Italian counterpart. It may be most well-known for its high-end fashion houses, but it is also a perfectly preserved display of classic Italian culture, rich history dating back to 400BC, striking architecture and of course a plethora of bars and restaurants serving endless Aperol Spritz. Saluti!

Sibiu, Romania
A true medieval gem in the heart of Romania. Sibiu is nestled in the region of Transylvania – an area most synonymous with vampires… (admit it, that was probably what first came to mind!). But it is SO much more than that. Its old town is an extraordinary blend of architectures dating back to the 12th Century when it was colonized by Saxon settlers; under the German name Hermannstadt. It benefits from all that you’d expect of a relaxed European city but with friendly people and quaint beauty that won’t break the bank! Check out this video of the top 7 things to do there from when we visited the city here.
