No trip to Switzerland is complete without visitin No trip to Switzerland is complete without visiting at least one mountain 🗻 We took a day trip to Mount Titlis in Engelberg, which has a lot of unique things to do at the top other than skiing 🎿 Even if you visit outside of winter, make sure you come better prepared than we did 😅 Have you been up any Swiss mountains before? 🇨🇭 • • • • • • • • • • #mounttitlis #swissmountain #engelberg #visitswitzerland #kristatheexplorer
Nothing quite beats an early morning in the Ardale Nothing quite beats an early morning in the Ardales 🌄 While this part of Malaga is very famous for the Caminto del Rey walking route, I’d highly recommend driving around the area to see what else you can find 🚘 There are a lot of beautiful viewpoints, some historic sites, and opportunities for water sports on the different lakes, so there’s something for everyone! 📸 If you’re planning to visit the Ardales in winter, you may find it a little chilly so bring some warm clothes, and maybe a blanket too (like @nomadix.ca puffer blanket) 🥶 Have you explored this part of Malaga before? 🇪🇸 • • • • • • • • • • #ardales #malaga #andalucia #kristatheexplorer #malagaturismo
Berlin is a very underrated city to visit in the w Berlin is a very underrated city to visit in the winter ❄️ Sure, you may not have as much sunlight, but there are a lot of great things to do in Berlin regardless 🤩 If you’re visiting in November or December, make sure you take advantage of the Berlin Christmas markets (there are lots around the city) 🎄 Or, if you’re more interested in the Berlin’s history, you should visit ⬇️ Charlottenburg Palace The Berlin Wall Brandenburg Gate Berlin Cathedral Altes Museum (and other museums) Of course, there’s a lot more to see in Berlin than this! I’d recommend no less than 3 days here - but more if you can! 🙌🏼 What’s your favourite thing about Berlin? 🇩🇪 • • • • • • • • • • #berlin #berlingermany #visitberlin #kristatheexplorer #bestberlinphoto
