27 Feb 2016We arrived to Vienna airport in the afternoon and, after picking the luggage, we took the CAT (City Airport Train) which left us very close to the hotel where we stayed, near Stadtpark Park.

25 Jun 2015Palazzo Ducale (Doge’s Palace) is another must-see visit for the lovers of art, gothic architecture and Venetian painting from XVI to XVIII centuries. It’s located in St. Mark Square, by the basilica, and it even shares some of its walls with the temple.

But we wished we could have more time to know the city better.

16 Apr 2015In the afternoon, after visiting Aare Gorge, we went to Lucerne to walk in the old town and to visit its two famous wooden bridges. The weather wasn’t good and it rained from time to time, which spoiled a bit our promenade. We wished to stay longer in this city, but we had to come back to Interlaken.
