You can't visit Los Angeles without checking out the giant letters, the symbol of Hollywood. There are some really pretty viewpoints where you can kill two birds with one stone, getting both the sign AND a nice panorama of the city. Lake Hollywood Park is cool, and so is the Griffith Observatory! Great photos in the making! If you are passing through Hollywood, don't miss a tour of one of the studios (Warner Bros, Universal, or Paramount, for example). That was seriously my favorite activity!

What a magnificent destination for a city trip! Between the particularly mild weather in Spain (I visited in February, it was sunny and very pleasant), the food, and the kindness of the Spanish people... And that is not even counting the magnificent monuments all over the city. We immediately think of the Plaza de España and the Alcazar, just to name a few! Simply strolling through the narrow streets and wandering around to discover the city's treasures is a wonderful way to explore it. I stayed at the Catalonia Giralda, we got upgraded, and the hotel was in a great location!

It is very simple: I have never had a bad experience with GetYourGuide, and I always use it at least once on my trips. Whether it is for day trips or one-off activities, it is always solid and simple to use. I once had a provider in Poland who forgot about me, but the GetYourGuide customer service was available on a Sunday at 8:00 AM to call them and try to help me out. Honestly, for my part, I recommend them with my eyes closed!

This is one of the iconic spots in the city of Seville, and it is easy to see why! It is a very beautiful place, the building architecture is truly magnificent, with its little turquoise canals and the way the sun reflects off them! But do not miss the entire Maria Luisa park, which is well worth a visit for a walk, especially the little Isleta de los Pájaros kiosk, which I find very pretty.

The visit is truly fabulous. Whether it is the palace or the gardens, everything is absolutely magnificent. You can easily spend a good two hours there without any problem. If you are passing through Seville, it is in my opinion an unmissable visit! Plus, if you have watched Game of Thrones, you will recognize some filming locations. It is fun to remember the scenes.

If you like theme parks, it is a must to go at least once in your life! From my point of view (an adult without kids, and a rollercoaster fan) it is not the best for thrill rides, but it has the merit of having attractions that are different from what you usually see. Even if sometimes you get the feeling that the park is a bit aging, there are plenty of attractions for all tastes. I think it is a good family destination, to do with the kids.

This is a city where you will definitely find something you love, whether you are interested in history or culture. All the museums could keep you busy for days! For my part, I have a soft spot for the Museum of Natural History. Of course, it is also a destination known for its nightlife, and you will not be disappointed! My little recommendation is a short cruise on the Spree in the early evening with a cocktail. It is the best way to see plenty of the city's points of interest.

A dream destination for a weekend with friends, between the lively streets, the exceptional little shops, the architecture of the Irish pubs, and without forgetting the incredible hospitality of the Irish people themselves! I recommend the guided tour by the students at Trinity College, and you can also find workshops to create a ring, it is a really cool experience. A little piece of advice, avoid doing what I did and LOSING it at the pub literally 2 hours after making it, that would be better :)

A small town, truly a very pleasant place to experience! The ideal spot to stay for a few days and wander around the Highlands, and even as far as the Isle of Skye. The town is full of pubs and nice little restaurants (I have to mention the best carbonara of my entire life at a small Italian place called Little Italy in Inverness, the local specialty, of course!). I was able to take a trip to the Isle of Skye with an extraordinary guide who knew all the movie filming locations.

It is a great place to use as a base for visiting the Cinque Terre villages, and the city itself is actually quite nice and convenient for finding much cheaper lodging! While it may not have the charm of its smaller neighbors, it is still a very pleasant city to wander around, with some great restaurants to help you dive into the wonderful Italian gastronomy.

The little town that you absolutely cannot miss if you are visiting the Cinque Terre! It is a bit harder to get there since there is no train station, and access is by bus from La Spezia (a whole experience in itself, I promise!!), but the trip is really worth it! The town is super pleasant for walking around and relaxing on the beaches. You can take little boat trips to the surrounding islands. In my opinion, this little village and its fort have nothing to envy compared to its neighbors, with breathtaking scenery and a really super pleasant atmosphere (and a bit more space on the beaches)!

Mougins, and especially its old village, perched a bit up in the heights like many villages in the south, is exceptionally well kept. You will find plenty of rather upscale restaurants there, along with lovely little art galleries. It is a very different vibe from other villages in the backcountry, much more affluent. Strolling through the little alleys is super pleasant and you have an absolutely gorgeous view of the mountains and the forest! I recommend stopping by if you are in the Grasse area, it is worth a walk. Special restaurant recommendation: L'Asia, an all-you-can-eat buffet with everything homemade, absolutely delicious!

The town itself is nothing crazy, I would even say that compared to other small villages along the fjords it is disappointing. But it is a very good spot to head out for hikes, and especially to see the fabulous Trolltunga! The hype around this hike is justified! You need a bit of anticipation, get up early to get a spot in the parking lot, but what a sight. If the weather is on your side, it is really worth all those 5 AM wake-up calls. The landscapes all along this hike are incredible, and the climb up to the long-awaited rock is relatively easy.

Very attractive prices. I was pleasantly surprised to do a Rennes to Lorient or a Nice to Marseille trip for just a few euros, especially on the southern route where you are just about as fast as the train. The buses are generally more comfortable than I imagined (let's be clear, it is still a bus). A good experience and a really interesting alternative to the train!

Essential for train travel in France, the site and the app work well overall. A positive point is that you often have the info before it is even posted on the boards. And in case of a problem, you can handle everything via the app, which is really appreciated when things go wrong! There are some small bugs sometimes, schedules that do not display, and redundant info entry at times. It is not perfect, but overall it is functional.

A beautiful city on the California coast with beaches as far as the eye can see and an extremely cute little downtown, with local artisans selling their creations along the beach. It is the perfect stop for a break before arriving in Los Angeles. If you are looking for a smaller place to enjoy the sun without the overwhelming vibe of LA, this is the perfect city!

If you are passing through Death Valley and have a little bit of time, this place is worth the trip! Right next to Beatty, you can see the ruins of a mining town that has been completely deserted, with some buildings still standing. The vibe is pretty wild. You wander through a ghost town in the desert, and it is an experience you have to have! You will also find a house made of bottles, which is pretty fun to see!

A few dozen minutes by car from Death Valley, Beatty is a tiny town right in the middle of the desert. It is the true Nevada experience, with motels, a saloon, and even though its casino is closed, it is absolutely incredible with its steampunk style! It is a good stop to sleep near Death Valley, and I recommend the restaurant Smokin' J's Barbecue. I think it is the BEST meal I have eaten on this trip to the United States!

I absolutely fell in love with the little coastal town of Morro Bay, a one-night stop on a California road trip between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is hard to miss its massive, majestic rock, but beyond that, the vibe of this town is so peaceful, and the locals are so welcoming. If you are an early bird, you can see the little otters sleeping next to the boats at the harbor, the height of cuteness! There are also expeditions you can take to go whale watching!

It would be indecent to be passing through Las Vegas without catching the Bellagio fountain show! They run regularly all day and all evening, and it is a total feast for the eyes! I found it much nicer at night. And do not forget to go visit the Bellagio hotel itself, which is just magnificent. There are themed decorations in the lobby that change regularly, and they are extraordinary!
