It is the Okopowa Street Jewish Cemetery. Spanning a bit over 33 hectares and containing upwards of 250,000 graves, it stands as the largest Jewish cemetery in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. There is a remarkable void in the landscape of the capital, where pre-war Warsaw is mainly unaltered and where moss, carved stone, and deep silence all serve as direct windows into the past.

Early in 2026, I was in Bologna for a few days to celebrate a friend's birthday, and since we were a bunch of people in town, we looked for something special to do. This is how we ended up booking a Parmigiano Reggiano tour at Caseificio Ugolotti, a family-run dairy located just on the outskirts of Parma.

Every big adventure has to start somewhere. For me, that somewhere was a dream of celebrating my 40th birthday in July 2021 by cycling solo from Berlin all the way to Oslo. I bought a bike, snagged a set of bikepacking bags, and started spinning training laps around the asphalt at Tempelhofer Feld.

Imagine standing before a massive granite slab in the middle of a Swedish forest. Look closely into the rock. Etched into its smooth surfaces are ships, weapon-wielding warriors, and mystical symbols nearly four thousand years old. These are the rock carvings of Tanum.

If you love exploring European destinations that offer more than just pretty postcard views like I do, I believe the coastal town of Varberg in Sweden, needs to be on your travel radar. But not for the historical fortress and beautful beaches that you can find there. Varberg is where you’re going to find a fascinating and fiercely debated piece of public art: the statue of The Woman With the Handbag.

And we consider it to be the best place to learn about the wall and how it affected the city and the entire continent.

On my trip to Venice in 2024, I saw what I believe is the best and most amazing unobstructed view of Venice. And it wasn't from an ancient bell tower but from the roof of a luxury shopping center: the Fondaco dei Tedeschi. And here is the story behind the view from the Fondaco dei Tedeschi.

When I ask people about Berlin’s green spaces, most of them mention Tempelhofer Feld or Treptower Park. However, tucked away in the Schöneberg lies a hidden gem that offers an entirely different kind of outdoor experience: Natur-Park Südgelände.

I think I rode for 90 km or so when my GPS tracker told me that the UFO memorial was close by. I stepped into the forest and tried to spot it. After a few wrong paths and turns, I saw a clearing in the woods, and there it was: a concrete model of a flying saucer in the middle of nowhere. I was in the right place.
