What makes a day trip unforgettable? For me, it was Wiesbaden. I share what to see, where to wander, and why it belongs on your itinerary.

I returned to Nuremberg years after my first visit, unsure if it would feel the same. Medieval charm, layered history, and a quieter vibe that invites you to slow down. Curious what makes this city worth visiting? 

A simple day trip from Frankfurt turned into one of the most memorable stops of my month in Germany. Wiesbaden’s history, calm energy, and unexpected discoveries stayed with me. Here’s why it stands out. https://dreamplanexperience.com/is-wiesbaden-worth-visiting/ #travel

Curious about Art Nouveau in Brussels? I’ve mapped three self-guided walking loops with all the must-see buildings. Explore the city at your own pace with my curated Google Map and uncover its architectural gems.

Not sure where to stay in Frankfurt? During my recent long visit, I split my time across different areas and hotels so I could truly compare them. The result is a practical guide to the neighbourhoods, and where I stayed. 

What if one city could give you all of Germany without constant travel? I used Frankfurt as my home base for over two weeks—city streets, museums, and effortless train day trips. This 7-day itinerary shows how slow travel works in practice.

Debunking Frankfurt's reputation of just being a layover city. Slow travel in Frankfurt teaches you to move deliberately—discover quiet streets, pause in cafés, and experience a city that feels alive when you slow down.

If you’re wondering about the best things to do in Frankfurt, this guide brings you my personal list. Discover cool local spots, riverside evenings, and experiences that will convince you this is one city to experience.

If you have 3 days in Frankfurt, you have more than enough time to see its best sides — the old and the new. You can wander cobbled lanes in the morning, sip apple wine by sunset, and still feel unhurried.

In just 2 days, you can walk through its Old Town and linger by the river. Here’s how to discover the Frankfurt most travellers overlook. 

Before my third trip to Frankfurt, I had visited the city on two other occasions for one day. I always left thinking I'm missing out.  If you ever find yourself in Frankfurt for just one day, here’s how to do it.

Frankfurt isn’t just for business travellers. It’s for those who know how to slow down—and still see it all.  The real question isn’t if you should go, but how many days in Frankfurt is enough to feel its energy. 

Frankfurt isn’t only finance towers and airports. Many travellers leave without seeing its charm, culture, or quiet gems. I explored the city deeply, from historic Altstadt to river walks. 

Frankfurt isn’t a typical destination—and that’s why it works. If you want culture, easy day trips, and a real sense of German life without the tourist crush, this city might surprise you.

Ever booked a "stylish" European stay that looked perfect online — and arrived to be disappointed? Here’s where to stay, my handpicked places — and where not to stay based on my own bad experience.  https://dreamplanexperience.com/where-to-stay-in-bologna/ #TravelAddicts

Ever wondered how many days in Porto is enough? Most travellers get this wrong — and leave too soon. I share my perspective on daily itineraries to help you decide with confidence. https://dreamplanexperience.com/how-many-days-in-porto/ #TravelAddicts

I share the one street that captures Montmartre’s true spirit — let me guide you to rue de l'Abreuvoir.

What is Porto famous for? It’s not only wine and bridges. But there’s so much more hidden behind those tiled walls, and why it might become your favourite city in Portugal.

What if the best thing to do in Rome… is nothing at all? Too often, we rush through cities, clutching checklists and missing the soul of a place. But Rome? Rome rewards the wanderer. https://dreamplanexperience.com/is-rome-worth-visiting/ #TravelAddicts

Portugal’s true magic isn’t in the cities. It’s in the villages you’ve never heard of. If you crave beauty, stillness, and soul in your travels — I’ve handpicked the ones that moved me.  https://dreamplanexperience.com/beautiful-villages-in-portugal-2/ #TravelAddicts

Not all vacation rentals are created equal. If you value beautiful design, trusted service, and peace of mind when booking, there’s a better alternative to Airbnb—especially for slow travellers. https://dreamplanexperience.com/plum-guide-review-a-better-choice-than-airbnb/  #TravelAddicts
