However, while those places are often crowded and touristy, Saragossa remained authentic and genuine. It offers beautiful architecture, world-class cuisine, and rich nature in and around the city.

Perspectives on Basilica del Pilar

Basilica del Pilar is one of those rare magnificent buildings you probably haven’t heard about before (unless you are from Spain or an aficionado of baroque architecture). Situated in the ancient city of Saragossa in Northern Spain, it is one of the largest cathedrals in the world. The four bell towers at each corner of the building give the structure a grandiose feeling. Its reflections in the water, especially at sunset, are beautiful and almost out of this world. While the church is beautiful on the inside as well, in this case, you have to look from afar to appreciate its uniqueness fully (the best view is from the bridge close by!).

Bratislava Off Season

Bratislava is the proud capital of the Slovak Republic, situated in the west of the country at the border with Austria. In fact, the city is so close to Austria that once there were plans for a tram line connecting it to Vienna. Although such a tram was never built, by train, it takes only about one hour to get there, and in summer, there are boat cruises along the Danube between the two capitals. In winter, though, it is much quieter, especially during COVID-19 there was not much going on in the streets, and you almost felt like having the city for yourself.
