Wooden chalets full of Christmas ornaments, towering Christmas trees, sparkling lights and the smell of log fires burning, roasting chestnuts and bubbling pans of Glühwein. Christmas markets have taken over Europe, and there are few cities which don’t have…
Jaillan Yehia from Savoirthere leaves the Liebfraumilch behind and gets to grips with world-class grapes in Mainz, Germany’s wine-producing capital, on assignment for On the Luce – it’s a tricky job but somebody had to do it. Here’s what…
From lavish palaces and world-class art museums to lederhosen and oompah bands, Munich’s mix of history, culture and plenty of beer makes it unique. Germany’s southern capital is the heartland of Bavarian culture. And there’s never a bad time…
The capital of Germany’s Bavaria region, Munich is best known for it’s beer-fuelled autumn Oktoberfest, but there’s much more than just Lederhosen and steins on offer in this city. I headed out to Munich to discover some of its…
I don’t know about you, but when I’m planning a European weekend break, I tend to think of the big cities – Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona. But if you’ve only got a few days, you’ve got no chance of seeing…

It’s hard to talk about Berlin without mentioning the wall. It’s shocking to think that just a quarter of a century ago one of Europe’s major cities was split in two and Berliners were separated from friends and neighbours…
![Back on track 🚆 With so much uncertainty, it's been a strange time to be thinking or writing about travel. But after pretty much blankly staring at a screen for the last month I’m back blogging and using the time to catch up on some of the projects that've been lurking on my to-do list for too long. And first up is embracing my train geek side and creating full itineraries for my one-week European rail trip ideas. If you fancy exploring Europe by train when the world opens up again, these posts will tell you what trains to take, how much they cost, how to book and what to see along the way. The first is Northern Europe by train – a week-long trip packed with canals, chocolate, cosmopolitan cities and the stunning scenery of the Swiss Alps [link in bio]

![With its spectacular architecture, Prague isn’t known as the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’ for nothing, but it’s also got 30 bridges, castles, palaces, parks and gardens to explore – and not to mention Europe’s cheapest beer. But although Eastern Europe is known for its good value, Prague’s popularity has pushed prices up for visitors. So if this gorgeous city’s on your wishlist, my new post [link in bio] has all my top tips for saving money on sights, views, food, transport and more to make the most of Prague on a budget .

![#ad Canada's a country that really captured my heart – and my new post [link in bio] is an epic two-week road trip itinerary right across the heart of the country, travelling from Calgary to Toronto, from the prairies to the lakes. Along the way we found everything we’d expect from Canada – spectacular landscapes, wildlife, great hiking and kayaking routes, First Nations history and delicious food and drink – but with a few twists along the way too
