Yeltsin Bar is one of these places and, there, you will find the most extensive selection of Russian craft beers in Kaliningrad. There are more than 15 different ones from the tap, and there are, at least, two fridges filled with more beers. Most of them are from Kaliningrad, but there are a lot of them from Russia, Lithuania and the area around.

Hidden in plain sight at the Rue Saint-Jacques in Paris, you can find a surrealist timepiece created by an artist famous for his melting clocks. Salvador Dalí installed this concrete sculpture in 1966 with the artist and his pet ocelot. There was also a brass band, and this is pretty much everything we managed to find out about the opening ceremony. Too bad.

The Landwehr Canal is one of our favorite places to spend warm Saturday afternoons, just walking along it. But, it can be a pretty exciting place to explore in winter as well since, from time to time, it freezes completely. A frozen Landwehr Canal is what happened on the last weekend of February 2018, and we went there to take pictures of everything.

The people that live in Helsinki are lucky to live there. Their city is one of my favorite places on the planet and they also have an amazing national park pretty close to the city. So, if you want to take a break from the city life, Nuuksio is the best place to do that.

Like I said before, I first heard about the London Canal Museum due to its ice well, a unique artifact from Victorian times that it’s so unusual I had to see it with my own eyes. This artifact is the King's Cross Ice Well, and it was used by Carlo Gatti to house imported ice from Norway. The ice was brought to the ice well by ship and canal barge, and it was preserved in two wells under the buildings where the London Canal Museum is located today. One of these ice wells can be viewed from the public area of the museum, and it’s a weird sight to see.

Back in 1999, local historian Christian Bormann found something that it wasn’t supposed to be lost. Nine years after demolition began, he found a piece of the Berlin Wall, somehow forgotten in the woods between a train station and a supermarket. More than 80 meters of the original Berlin Wall, built in 1961, is standing there, some with the V-shaped brackets that once had barbed wire on it. It’s hard to believe that something with this historical importance was lost and this is why we went there to see it with our own eyes.

When I went to Estonia at the beginning of 2017, I explored a cemetery of Soviet statues and spent the night in a historical manor surrounded by art. But the thing that made me love Estonia was the food. Yeah, my stomach was impressed, and this is why I had to write a short review of my favorite restaurant in Tallinn: Restaurant Pegasus.

Walled in! – The inner German border is a computer animation produced by Deutsche Welle together with the Berlin Wall Foundation to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall. The short movie describes in details the fortifications and the way that the border between East and West Germany was set up and it’s an excellent resource for those who want to know more about it.
