Valmiermuižas alus – Valmiera (Latvia)
This is a brewery that shouldn't be skipped, it's definitely one of those places that you have to see when in Valmeria. It was built in 2005, but the first beers didn't come out until 2008, because the boss and his staff weren't satisfied with the fi[...]

Galerija “Laipa” – Valmiera (Latvia)

The Botanical Garden (Ogród Botaniczny) – Krakow (Poland) en
This is an excellent place in Krakow for some peace and quiet, far from the tumultuous city, even if some consider Krakow as a much calmer city than Warsaw; for myself, I thought the center was quite alive, with lots of movement.
It’s therefore a [...]
