The Most Unique Religious Buildings to Travel to in Europe
1. La Mezquita de Cordoba (Cordoba, Spain) I visited La Mezquita de Cordoba on a two-week trip around Southern Spain, and seeing the mosque was one of the highlights, and definitely well worth adding Cordoba into your trip for. The mosque has been used as both a mosque and a church and the…

What to do in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
On our Balkan Trip, Sarajevo was one of the best cultural hubs – with a rich, diverse history and so much to do and see. Two or three days is perfect here if you’re passing through, before moving onto some other places in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately our bus from Kotor in Montenegro…
