The small European country with over 14,000 caves

With thousands of caves and hundreds of castles to explore, the landscape looks like the setting of a fairytale, and you can ski and swim in one day...

It wasn’t long ago that just about every magazine was calling Slovenia a “hidden gem.” Today it’s well known as a top European destination, whether for a weekend break or a two-week deep dive, during which you can feel you’ve seen it all.

Slovenia is small—about the size of Maryland—but is geographically diverse and spectacular enough to have been the setting for many films and series, from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (filmed in the Soca Valley) to The Witcher series (with scenes set at Predjama Castle, Postojna Cave, and Kranjska Gora).

The most culturally and economically developed of the former Yugoslav republics, Slovenia has been independent since 1991 and is one of the friendliest and easiest places to visit in the region.

It's time to venture off the beaten path in Greece and discover its lesser-known islands. Here, you'll find picturesque beaches, savour unique dishes and marvel at the charm of white-washed buildings.

Greece has about 6,000 islands in total (the exact number is unknown), scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, of which only 227 are inhabited. You are never out of places to see and things to do in Greece.

The central Italian region where the Renaissance began

Where medieval towns perch on hilltops, the wine is some of the best in the world, and the art’s so beautiful it may make you dizzy...

Rolling hills dotted with sunflower fields, country roads lined with cypress trees, vineyards producing some of Italy’s most prized wines, medieval villages, and Renaissance monuments—chances are these are some of the things that come to mind when you think about Tuscany.

The central Italian region, which stretches over an area of 8,877 square miles, has all that and more.

The history of Tuscany pre-dates the Roman Empire. It was settled by the Etruscans (the region’s name derives from them) around 1,000 BCE, came under Roman rule in the 3rd century CE, and became a duchy in the 6th century CE.

Over the centuries, the region has been ruled by a number of aristocratic families, the most important being the Medici family. Today, Tuscany’s rich history can still be felt in the cities and small towns, where locals hold tight to traditions in food, art, and festivals.

Renaissance treasures
From roughly 1400–1527, everyone who was anyone in the world of European art and culture passed through Florence. Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Raphael all worked there, commissioned by popes and wealthy families like the Medicis. Their masterpieces now reside in churches, palaces, and museums like the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery.

Aside from admiring their works, intrepid travelers can take an off-the-beaten-path excursion to see the quarries of Carrara, where Michelangelo sourced his preferred marble.

Let's bridge the gap between your travel trivia knowledge with a delightful tidbit from Europe:

Which capital city is practically overflowing with bridges, outshining even Venice in its aquatic infrastructure? The answer might just span your surprise—it's Hamburg, Germany!

With a staggering count of over 2,500 bridges, Hamburg doesn't just cross water; it weaves an intricate tapestry of connectivity that leaves Venice's famed canals playing catch-up. So, next time you're pondering over a map, remember that in the realm of bridges, Hamburg is the reigning champion, a true testament to the city's love affair with architectural crossings.

Lithuania is looking to break free from common Eastern European stereotypes in its new tourism advertising campaign contrasting the expectations vs reality of the capital, Vilnius.

The campaign is poking fun at stereotypes overseas residents frequently have.

At first, the commercial depicts the cliche stereotypes of Eastern Europe which still prevail in social and traditional media, as well as communities living outside the region — Soviet-era buildings, drunks defacing the streets, thieves, and shady market sellers — while the narrator, satirically, describes the city as an Eastern European pearl and a photographer’s paradise.

The second part of the commercial breaks these stereotypes — the architecture and streets are colourful rather than monochrome grey, the gastronomical delights rival Europe’s best cuisines, and numerous indoor and outdoor activities gather crowds of thousands.

Check it out and let us know what you think...

If you think Eastern Europe is not worth visiting, come to Vilnius and let us change your mind.https://www.govilnius.lt/expectations-vs-reality
