Discover the Enchanting Palau Reial de Pedralbes in Barcelona! 🤩

Originally a 17th-century farmhouse, this stunning palace was transformed under the vision of Count Eusebi Güell and the genius of Antoni Gaudí. From 1919 to 1931, and again since 1975, it has served as the official residence of the Spanish royal family when visiting Barcelona. Notably, during the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, the royal family stayed here, marking the palace's last royal use in 1930.

If you're coming to Rome, the best way to see the city is early in the morning. We suggest getting up and out the door by 7 AM. Here are 3 reasons why you should be an early riser on your trip to Rome:

1. Less crowds. Head to the most crowded sites (the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps) to get photos without lots of tourists.
2. Cooler temperatures. Rome in the summer is hot, and you'll beat the heat earlier in the day.
3. Visit local markets. Get a taste of authentic Rome and head to the markets early in the morning with the other Romans! We recommend Campo de' Fiori.

Visiting London for the first time? Here are some tips to make your trip more enjoyable!

1. Instead of using an Oyster Card for public transport, use Apple Pay or your contactless credit card
2. Don’t travel in on the Paddington Express. Instead, take a normal tube line, either the Piccadilly or Elizabeth line. You’ll save a ton of money!
3. Take a cycling tour of the city. We offer many and you can browse them via the link below.
4. London is very walkable. One of our favorite routes is from Trafalgar Square to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Then Westminster Abbey!
5. Venture outside the main tourist attractions and see lesser known neighborhoods like Belsize Park, Hampstead, or Greenwich.
