Visiting Brussels during the holiday season is an Visiting Brussels during the holiday season is an incredible experience with all the Christmas markets open around the city centre 🎄 We wanted to stay somewhere that was both central and close to public transportation links, which is why we chose to stay with @meininger_hotels (again) 💪🏼 The MEININGER Hotel Brussels Gare du Midi is less than 15 minutes away from the main square and the old town, and it’s very budget friendly too 🛌 They have a variety of room styles available which cater to solo travellers, couples, and larger groups or families. The hotel also features a shared kitchen space, a bar, a small game zone, and a delicious buffet breakfast every morning 🍳 Have you been to Brussels or stayed in a @meininger_hotels before? 🇧🇪 • • • • • • • • • • #meininger #meiningerbrussels #brusselshotel #meiningerhotel #brussels #visitbrussels #brusselslife #brusselstravel #kristatheexplorer #travel #traveltips #travelblogger #budgettraveling #hotelstay #girlslovetravel #visitbelgium #belgiumtrip #belgium
Is this the coolest travel bag ever?! 🤯 During Is this the coolest travel bag ever?! 🤯 During our recent trip to Brussels for the Christmas markets, I had the chance to try out my new washable travel duffel from @tobiqtravel 🎒 It has 18 organizational options, including a padded laptop compartment and side pockets for easy access to your travel documents 💻 What I love the most about the bag though is that it can be used as either a duffel or a backpack. The backpack straps can be tucked away when they’re not in use too 💪🏼 Would you like to travel with a bag like this? 🇧🇪 • • • • • • • • • • #tobiq #tobiqbags #travelbag #travelduffel #travelbackpack #backpacktraveller #kristatheexplorer #travelblogger #traveltips #historyblogger #girlswhotravel #visitbrussels #brussels #brusselslife #brusselstravel #belgiumtravel #belgiumtrip #visitbelgium #belgiumtourism
Everyone has heard of the Cărturești Carusel boo Everyone has heard of the Cărturești Carusel bookshop in Bucharest, but here’s a cool alternative instead 📚 Cărturești Verona is based inside a 19th century house that was the former residence of one of Romania’s most important historical figures, Dimitrie Sturdza 🤯 There are various floors to explore in the bookshop and each room has been uniquely designed to match the historical nature of the building 🤩 Do you like to visit bookshops when you travel? 🇷🇴 • • • • • • • • • • #bucharest #visitbucharest #carturesticarusel #carturesti #carturestiverona #bookshop #visitbucharest #visitromania #romaniatravel #traveltips #kristatheexplorer #travelmore #historicplaces #bucharestlife #romaniawow #bookshopsofinstagram
Bucharest has an interesting history behind it, an Bucharest has an interesting history behind it, and it’s considered to be one of the newest capital cities in Europe 👀 The first mention of the city only dates back to 1459, through a document signed by Vlad III, also known as Vlad the Impaler 🩸 There are a lot of things to see and do in Bucharest, but the main highlights can easily be seen in just one day. I’d recommend spending 2 days in Bucharest so you can explore areas that are further away from the old town though 🤩 Make sure you stop at @sipbucharest for the best cocktails in Bucharest too! 🍹 Have you visited Bucharest before? 🇷🇴 • • • • • • • • • • • #bucharest #bucharestlife #buchareststyle #visitbucharest #romania #visitromania #romaniatravel #romaniamagica #kristatheexplorer #travel #travelblogger #traveltips #travelblog #historyblogger #historicplaces #enjoybucharest #bucharestcity
