Sicily isn’t just about beaches and pizza. It’s an island that will surprise you with its history, scenery, and people, and we’ve traveled all over it to save you time and hassle. In this section, you’ll find a first-hand guide to Sicily.
You’ll find travel guides, lists of the best beaches, accommodation recommendations ranging from budget apartments to boutique hotels, and an honest look at what to avoid. We’ve written about Palermo, Taormina, Mount Etna, the Egadi Islands, and lesser-known spots that aren’t yet overrun with tourists.
Ad space: We’ve been to Sicily more than once and we’ve discovered something new every time. We book our accommodations through Booking.com, which has the best selection even for smaller villages off the beaten path. For guided tours, we recommend GetYourGuide.
Choose a destination and let yourself be inspired. Sicily awaits and we’ve already paved the way for you.
There are places in Sicily where you will understand why people come back. Zingaro Nature Reserve is one of them. But to understand why this place is so important, we need to go back a few decades. The whole story began in the 1980s, when a road was being built...
Tenerife. An island where wild nature collides with an azure ocean, volcanoes, picture-postcard villages and endless adventure. When we started planning our week-long road trip, we had no idea how much was waiting for us. But let’s take it from the top. These are the juiciest tips on things to...
Slovenia has one enormous advantage: in a relatively small area it offers world-class mountains that aren’t overcrowded and still keep their raw, mountainous character. One of the most beautiful treks I’ve done here was through the valley of the Triglav Lakes. A classic route in Triglav National Park, and still...
The Roháče are among the wildest and most dramatic parts of the Western Tatras. Sharp peaks, narrow ridges, chains, exposed sections and views you don’t forget (except that the weather wasn’t exactly on our side). The Roháče traverse isn’t just an ordinary mountain day out – it’s a full high-mountain...
There are towns that have history. And then there are towns that know how to sell it so well you get goosebumps. Bad Ischl clearly belongs to the second category. When the Imperial Festival takes place here, don’t expect a dry historical event for a handful of enthusiasts in uniform....
Romania is a country that managed to surprise us at every turn. From the ancient history of the Dacians through the Dracula legends (yes, only legends!), the natural wonders of the Carpathians all the way to Ceaușescu’s megalomaniac buildings. If you want to know what facts about Romania are hiding...
We came to Katowice mainly as a transfer stop on the way somewhere else. But the city centre personally stopped me in my tracks – in a good way. I expected a grey industrial city and got a lively centre that breathes at first glance, and when I saw old...
We’re writing this one differently from the rest. No funny detours. Auschwitz is a place that doesn’t deserve that tone, and yet we wanted to write a guide that helps you handle the visit both practically and humanly. Because here too, good preparation makes the difference between standing confused at...
