My Travel Tips for Barcelona

16. December 2016by enalorenaloveLeave a Comment

Hello peeps, so as I told you Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in Europe. Barcelona includes beach, clubs, food and entertainment, so it never gets boring. This year was my second time in Barca and I definitely will go back soon as there is still so much to do there hehe.

So as I already said I was there two times now and I will put everything together what I know and which may be interested for you too if you decide to go there.

Of course I have still not seen everything I wanted! Next time I’d like to rent a car and to drive around Barcelona and also to lLoret de Mar for a beachparty haha 😀 or so 😛 at the end I will write a list with things I’d still like to do in Barca, but haven’t done yet.

1) Wander around La Boqueria

La Boqueria is really something special. There is a huge selection of various groceries such as fish or nuts. But I was especially impressed by the huge selection of sweets, fresh juices and various kinds of fruits and vegetables. It just looks so amazing and it is actually not that expensive compared to Austrian prices. You will find La Boqueria Mercat at Las Ramblas which is kind of the centre and there you have also a lot of restaurants and shops when you walk down the Ramblas. There are also some hotels.

2) Visit Park Güell

One of the most beautiful parks in Barcelona is Park Güell. It is especially great for running or doing some sports. But also for not so athletic people like me HAHA you have a great sea view from there and you can take some nice photos, I think when the sun goes down it must look really nice from up there. Park Güell is definitely worth a visit. The architecture of this park is also really interesting. The houses here look like gingerbread houses to me Idk why HAHA but looks pretty yummy hahaha when you ask me.

3) EAT!

There are lots of restaurants and lots of different dishes you can try in Barca, have dinner and Sangria at the beach (which can get a bit expensive), or go to W Hotel for a dinner. But you can also find in every corner a “Mercado” where you can get a warm baguette for example for 50 cent haha 😀 which is awesomeeeeeeee 😀 of course you have a big variety on fruits and healthy stuff. In Barca you get literally everywhere and at anytime FOOD which is perfect 😛

4) Watch the sunset at Barceloneta Beach

The most beautiful beaches in Barcelona are actually a bit outside of the city. Nevertheless, Barceloneta Beach is especially beautiful during sunset. The sky there shines in beautiful pastel colors.

5) Go to the beach – anytime

Either you go for a swim or just to chill and drink a mojito or in the evening before going out it’s always pretty cool and the ambiance is pretty nice. I found out that the water is clearer near the W Hotel than there where the clubs are located, obviously people also throw a bit of trash there when drunk which won’t happen near the W Hotel in my opinion.

6) Watch a soccer game of FC Barcelona

I am not a big fan of soccer, but the atmosphere was extraordinary haha really cool 😀 the Catalonians love their soccer team the stadium was full of people I think almost 100.000 people!! After the game we didn’t get a taxi so we had to walk for hours .. make sure to organize all that when heading to a match.

7) Visit La Sagrada Familia

Very nice church from the inside, if you are interested in architecture and sightseeing, give it a try. The sun peeks thru all those beautiful colored windows hehe 🙂

8) Go to park de la ciutadella

Also a very nice park for a walk 🙂 looks very interesting 😀 don’t know the purpose of this park though haha

9) Go to clubs and bars

the Catalonian nightlife is crazy 😀 just be careful, such clubs such as “Pacha”, “Opium” etc. are very expensive. We were at club “Danza” which is also located at at the beach, but was pretty ok not too expensive and music also quite good 😀 and this year we also got the chance to go to the club “Eclipse” at the W Hotel in Barcelona. There you have a pretty nice view of the beach.

Things I want to do the next time I am in Barcelona:

Enjoying the view from Bunkers – El Carmel

Things to do in Paris <3

27. October 201627. October 2016by enalorenaloveLeave a Comment

If you are going to Paris there are plenty of things you can do, but if you are only for a short time there like I was (2 days only) it is a bit stressful, but of course there are some things which you should do! Paris is such a photogenic city and so lovely, but in my opinion only in the centre. Out of Paris it’s not that perfect, but which megacity is it? I also wouldn’t consider Paris as the city of love – I don’t know in summer it just felt like there were millions of people everywhere which is not that romantic in my opinion, but everyone sees things different. But of course for taking photos it is really the perfect spot. Well this was not my last time in Paris that’s for sure! 🙂 as I’m dreaming of a wedding proposal on the Eiffel Tower someday HAHA 😀

Well now let’s talk about what I was doing while in Paris 😛 hehe

OF COURSE you have to go up on the Eiffel Tower, well let’s say take the elevator haha you can also use the stairs, but it is quite exhausting, so make sure you are in a good condition not like me hehe & if you are afraid of heights I also would use the elevator anyway there are always a lot of people, but the view by night is just awesome and totally worth it. Make sure to book in advance otherwise you will have to wait in the line for a loooong time! Before you enter the line I took a pic with my gopro in front of the Eiffel Tower from below. I thought I will just try it because I haven’t seen it on screen until we got home, but it ended up pretty nice as you can see. From below I also took only a pic of the Eiffel Tower which I edited a lil bit, but I think it looks so cute with all the stars haha

Next to the ‘Pont d’Iéna’. You can take pictures with trees from the street or walk down and take pictures from the river level Like here:

The best spot to take photos of the Eiffel Tower is the “Palais du Trocadéro” in my opinion. For taking nice photos like fashion pics, or couple pics or something 🙂 and it’s for free, but in summer there were like Thousands of people haha

If you have some extra money left haha joke it’s not that expensive, buy a ticket to enter on top of the Arc de Triomphe and go upstairs … the view from there is also amazing and you get to see also the Champs Elysees, but there are also A LOT OF STAIRS haha and it is very narrow so make sure you bring a bottle of water with you not to feel dizzy.

Walking down the Champs Elysees is soo nice as all the stores there look so neat and cute and all those designer stores OMG just way too beautiful. In all those alleys you will find a lot of restaurants. We had a pizza which was quite expensive, but that’s normal in the centre of Paris particularly next to the Champs Elysees, but I was on vacation and hungry and the Pizza was very delicious so never mind. I don’t like thinking about money when on vacation as I like to enjoy every minute 😛

Walk to the “Pont Neuf” which means new bridge, but actually it’s the oldest non renovated one in Paris above the river “Seine” there you will also find all the love locks 😛 and if you go there as a couple mount one too on the bridge. Hehe probably most of those people are not even a couple anymore, but you will forever be reminded as one on an old bridge 😀

We also visited the Louvre but haven’t entered the museum as we booked it in advance on “getyourguide” which always worked great for me, but in Paris not at all. So we spent like 70€ 2 persons for entering the Louvre museum, but didn’t got our tickets immediately so to cut a long story short we couldn’t get in as we didn’t found the ticket seller because it was described very complicated in my opinion.

To end the day properly I liked chilling in a hammock on our balcony and watching the sunset, with a view on the Sacre Coeur.

The next post will be about one of my favorite cities ever 😀 I will tell you more later 🙂

15 Things to-do in Berlin

6. September 20166. September 2016by enalorenaloveLeave a Comment

There are a lot of things you can do in Berlin, but here are some things I did and I think you shouldn’t miss when in Berlin.

1) Buy a ticket for the “S-Bahn” for your entire stay and drive around as much as you can. You can also walk a lot since everything is quite in the centre, well of course it depends on where you are situated, but buy only the zones A and B since C is already far from the centre you won’t need it.

2) Visit the Brandenburg Gate – by day and by night! Hehe and take photos of course.

3) Chill at the Berliner Dome enjoy the atmosphere, very nice in the summer at the fountain.

4) Visit the “Reichstag” Building and ask old Italian women to take photos haha 😀 they will do so but in the end they didn’t took any picture.

5) Have coffee and cake at the Radisson Blu Hotel and don’t think about the bill just admire the aquarium.

6) Visit Checkpoint Charlie and take photos with the fake soldiers and get some kisses hahaha. FAIL 😛

7) Don’t forget to check out the Berlin wall, or the rests of it. 😛

8) Go through the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and hold a minute of silence.

9) Visit the Pirates Bar in Berlin, I had some drinks there, but the food looked also very good.

10) Visit Kreuzberg – and when you are there eat a Kebap at “Mustafas Gemüsekebap” – Thank me later.

11) Go to the mall of Berlin.

12) EAT! You can find so much delicious food in Berlin haha

13) Go to the “Berliner Biersalon” at Kurfürstendamm and drink a “Berliner Kindl” Beer – I like the green one the most.

14) Check out the “Fernsehturm” – if you want you can also go up and enjoy the view.

15) Go shopping. In Germany the prices are lower than in Austria 😉

What about you, have you been in Berlin? Are there any things I could do the next time I go there? 🙂
