Belarus finally confirms that you CANT enter with a Double Entry Schengen Visa.. didn’t clarify on Multiple.. assuming a NO 🇧🇾
“Hello,

To arrive in Belarus, Central African and Congolese citizens need a Belarusian visa.

1 year UK BRP and existing double entry Schengen Visa are not valid for visa-free stay in Belarus

Information about the procedure for obtaining a Belarusian entry visa is available here:

So, the Romania 🇷🇴 part has been cross verified by self! Entry done! Unfortunately not that smooth, since, even the officer at the immigration booth wasnt sure if an Indian can be allowed entry to Romania using Schengen visa. Clarified after showing my embassy mail and few phone calls from her end! Phewww!

Welcome back, from the other side of the road (hopefully you are following my Prague series, and my last video, where I just finished walking from the famous Old Town Square, up towards this point, or should I say, the most famous meeting point in Prague, the historical Charles Bridge).

This bridge has an historical importance, connecting the east and west of Prague, and creating the main trade route in this part of Europe! But that’s past.. today, anyone who visits Prague, comes down to this place and then move ahead towards the Prague Castle, which is on the outskirts of the main city, sitting on the top of the hill, like any other big European counterparts.

Anyways, once on the bridge, do enjoy the lovely views on both sides.. specially the view of the castle from here, and dont miss the famous statues which, as the legends says.. rubbing it brings luck and also, brings you back in Prague, sometime soon in future 🙂! So.. enjoy the walk, but at the end of the other side of the bridge, let’s not head towards the Castle (keep it for another hour :)) and take a detour and visit an hidden gem, just nearby… basically a wall!! But more on that, in the next video 🙂 🇨🇿❤️

Welcome to the walk starting from the Prague’s one famous touristy point, the Old Town Square; to, rather the most famous meeting point, the Charles Bridge. Once you have enjoyed the amazing and astonishingly beautiful astronomical clock (the oldest running one in the whole world), start heading towards the Charles bridge through this route.

On your way, you will find some amazingly beautiful shops, each and the other, trying to amaze you with some weird thing or other.. be it duck boutique (yes, you read it correct) or cannabis shop (yes, very much legal) or those famous chimney cake shops, one, probably every 3rd shop! And, if you get tired reaching the bridge, do sit down, have a Kuppa, get yourself energised and get ready to reach the bridge; from where, the real chaos starts 🙂

Once in Prague, I bet that you will find yourself at the bridge, every few hours, as the views are amazing, specially at the sunset!
More on that, once I cross the road in my next video 🙂 🇨🇿❤️

Once you have landed in Prague, the first place you need to reach, to get the vibes of the city, is the OLD TOWN SQUARE. The charm and charisma of this city, can be best felt here, where all the tourists gather together at the stroke of every hour, to celebrate the magic created by the oldest running astronomical clock of the world... yes, you read it correct 🙂 .. and if that's not enough for you, then take a stroll of the square, starting from the 3 famous colourful buildings (yes, you will see them in every other Prague souvenirs) and then move towards the wider part of the main square. Get into a cafe, relax and soak in the views! Isn't that amazing 🙂 Old Town Square has my heart !!! 🇨🇿❤️

Welcome to the "What To Do On Arrival" series of mine, from yet another city, yet another airport. I think every traveller/tourist is most nervous, once he/she crosses the barriers of the immigration and enters out of the arrival gates. Where to look for a local sim? Where to look for an ATM? Where to find a local currency exchange? How easy is it to reach to the city centre? Does buses run from the airport to the city? Does it run at night too? If not, are there any trains or metro connected with the airport? Do I have to get an expensive cab ride, to reach my hotel/hostel?

Here, I have tried to answer all these questions, for you, so that your journey from the Prague airport to the main city centre can be super smooth, and least chaotic. Hope it helps to get a good first impression of the city, once YOU HAVE ARRIVED 🙂 🇨🇿❤️

While traveling abroad.. finding an ATM which doesn’t charge “huge” or “any” conversion charges is a nightmare. Been informed about this app, will try next time. Anyone travelling recently, do try and let us know, if this helps

Some Visa Updates :
If you have a Double or Multiple Schengen Visa; and it has been already used once, you can visit countries like Romania🇷🇴 and Bulgaria🇧🇬 with that.
For Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦, you have to have a Multiple entry Schengen Visa, a Double entry wont help here to enter.
Confirmed from email replies back from the respective Embassies.

And, lastly.. the find of the day - Selfie Cappuccino or Selfieccino 🤣🤣… well, say no more, am already blown away ❤️ .

Day 3.. and the next country, on my Euro Road Trip! Welcome to Bratislava, Slovakia 🇸🇰… I had near zero expectations, and boy, what a beautiful city!! I highly recommend this for your weekend break between the biggies.
And this probably is the most interesting way to roam around the historical town, following these crown marks on the pebbled streets. This is the Coronation Trail, of the Hungarian King(s), from the castle, to the cathedral, to the church, and finally to the outside of the city via the gate; on his coronation day. Follow these 180 odd crowns and you can roam around the full city on your own 🙂.

29/08/2023

Now, this is very interesting. It’s called the zero km point, depicting the kms from this point to the nearest 29 capitals and north & south poles. And this is located just beneath Michael’s gate. Once around, dont miss this.

29/08/2023

A visit to Bratislava cant be complete without checking out the Hungarian style Church of St. Elizabeth or as they call it here - “little blue church”. It’s architecturally very different than a normal church, and probably that’s where the beauty is… dont miss ❤️

29/08/2023

Lunch time finally .. and as always, I had to try the best of the local cuisines.. so here we go .. Bryndzové halušky (sheep's cheese gnocchi) and Kofola (The soviet version of Coca Cola), that too in Europe’s one of the largest restaurants - Flagship SNP! Recommended ❤️

29/08/2023

And now the 3 famous statues of the town!

29/08/2023

Didn’t I say that Bratislava is a beauty 🙂
