Despite being so close, Germany is not as popular with Polish tourists as, for example, much more distant Italy or Spain. They lack wide, sandy beaches and warm, emerald water, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve a visit. And it certainly cannot be said of the wonderful city of Cologne, Germany's fourth largest city. Warsaw is less than 10 hours' drive from the city center, so the journey takes a long time and requires rest. Along the way, you can stop in selected cities and discover a lot of beauties in a seemingly harsh country.

Allergies are a worry for millions of people today. It can sensitize practically everything, from food to pollen and dust. You may wonder if the cause is our weakening of immunity or increasing environmental pollution, but the most important thing is that allergies should have as little impact on our lives as possible - and on the lives of our children.

Before that, however, you should plan everything carefully, conduct a short "training" and remember a few things.

The Italian islands are not only Sicily pulsating with passion or Sardinia fragrant with flowers. Nature has endowed the country of pizza and olives with wonderful landscapes, scattering small gems in the form of smaller or larger islands in the sea with a generous handful. Each of them deserves attention, because each has something different to offer. Therefore, during your vacation in Italy, it is worth planning a few trips to the local picturesque islands. Most of them can be reached by ferry, and some are connected by a series of bridges - reaching them will not be a problem, so you really need to take this opportunity.

The islands of Italy - the stars scattered over the sea

For some, the Canary Islands are synonymous with luxury relaxation, for others, the Bahamas or the Caribbean. There are also many people who think of Sardinia, the second largest Italian island. It is washed by the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and the island itself lies halfway between Europe and Africa, tempting tourists with paradise views, a string of picturesque islets and fairy-tale bays. Visitors are delighted with beautiful, sandy beaches, which make up over 1,800 km of extremely diversified coastline . There are also raw, rugged rocks jutting sharply into the water of a wonderful emerald color and crystal clarity. Anyone who has come here will understand why so many people associate an exclusive holiday with this place.

Anyone who appreciates the independence of traveling and explores the world with their own motorhome or other vehicle knows how important an aspect of such trips is proper preparation - also in terms of provisions. After all, the point is not to stop at a roadside restaurant or fast-food bar for every meal, but to be as self-sufficient as possible. Thanks to good organization, we will provide ourselves the opportunity to eat what we want, while reducing the burden on our budget. First of all, you should carefully plan your menu before embarking on a trip. Sounds banal, but it happens that while driving, we either lack an idea for a meal or some of the ingredients and, as a result, give up, we end up in a restaurant. Therefore, it makes sense to have a precise meal plan for each day of travel - it will save you both time and money.

How to plan meals at the campsite?

When we think about vacation, vacation, picnic or a quick weekend trip, we usually consider the west, and even more often - the south of Europe. But why not look the other way from time to time and organize a trip to, for example, Lithuania? It may not be as hot and sunny there as in Italy or Spain, but Lithuanian cities undoubtedly have a lot to offer tourists.

The sun honors us with its presence more and more often, but it cannot be concealed that we are all quite tired of the long and capricious winter. More and more often we think about reloading the battery, going far outside the city and the possibility of forgetting about work and duties. One of the options for such an "escape" from reality is a trip to Slovakia - far enough not to think about problems, and close enough that organizing the trip will not be a problem. Your destination may be the famous spa town of Piešťany situated on the D1 highway. The route leading to it is so simple that no one will have any problems with hitting it, and apart from being easy to get to, the road is exceptionally beautiful, so the trip to the spa will be as pleasant as the stay in the city itself.

Piešťany - an idea for a picnic

Family trips are a great adventure. Spending time together and getting to know new places brings us closer and strengthens the bonds between the members. Parents show their children the world, children absorb knowledge about the area they are exploring, and everyone has a lot of fun doing it. But there is often a problem - sometimes you have to spend several long hours traveling before you get there. If we travel with teenagers, they will take their time on their own. However, if we are taking care of several-year-olds, at best, we are faced with questions: "Are we there yet?" asked every few minutes. For many parents, such a trip is a test of patience, but if planned well, it can be as enjoyable as the sightseeing itself.

"My delight was great when I saw this city and saw so many bell towers and monasteries and buildings, all on the water ..." - the description of Philippe de Commynes, a fifteenth-century French chronicler, also fits well with modern realities. Venice is beautiful, romantic, full of elegant architecture, mansions, palaces and churches. You can fall in love with it. Tourists are delighted with the view of the city from the side of Lido di Jesolo or Punta Sabbioni. You must have a camera, and it will turn out to be especially valuable during a ferry ride - the landscapes you watch are breathtaking. When visiting the city, it is worth buying ferry tickets , which also entitle you to use the Venetian water trams and buses (outside the city). The price of a 72-hour ticket is around 30 euros.

While traveling in the south of Italy, you may experience great dilemmas - common sense tells you to go back, but admiration does not allow it. Why not stay here one day longer? After a short thought, you can head west and walk towards the beautiful town of Reggio di Calabria . If Italy looks like a shoe to so many people on the map, then the journey to Reggio will be on the inside of the foot. But what a beautiful foot!. We noticed the beauty of Reggio di Calabria in historic Lecce . Now, driving west, we will pass several towns where the air is full of the atmosphere of a typical Italian town. There is no other way to describe it. Driving through Francavilla Fontana , one cranes one's neck to see if Sophia Loren might emerge from around one corner to - like in a scene from the film entitled "Italian style of marriage" - walk proudly and attract the attention of all men. In addition to memories of the classics of Italian cinema, the town also has several monuments, palaces and monuments. It is worth paying attention to, among others: to Porta del Carmine , the 17th-century city gates resembling a triumphal arch, or Chiesa del Rosario with its impressive dome. Looking at some of the city's monuments (and not only this one), one may get the impression that in many cases their beauty lies precisely in their domes - in the line of sight they are quite modest, without any decorations, so to admire them, you have to raise your head high or look from a distance.

From heel to toe - Reggio di Calabria

A holiday on the Italian coast, especially in summer, is something everyone should experience at least once in their life. If only to be able to feel this wonderful atmosphere every time he looks at a photo of a romantic cove, incredibly clear water or a wide beach. You will never forget waking up in the morning and looking straight into the blue of the water, blending almost imperceptibly with the blue of the sky. But to be able to admire it, it's best not to waste time and continue your journey along the coast. From Ancona we go towards Pescara , another small but very atmospheric town. It is one of the most important economic, commercial and tourist centers on the Adriatic coast. Thanks to its diversified coastline, over 20 km long, it is also a popular resort, crowded with thousands of holidaymakers in the summer. In addition, each year in July, Pescara organizes the international jazz festival Jazz Pescara . The sounds of jazz resounded here for the first time in 1969, and the event was the first Italian summer festival dedicated to jazz music. Since then, it has been one of the most important jazz festivals in Europe.

Who, who loves the warm sea, wide and sandy beaches and the sun, does not dream of getting to know the Italian coast? And it is not about a blissful holiday with a drink with a palm tree, but about intense sightseeing. What if you took a few days' trip along the famous Italian shoe? Experience the power of adventures, meet a lot of great places and enjoy the sun? The more that before you get to that shoe, you still have to drive many kilometers along its "upper". You can start your journey from the city of Trieste in northeastern Italy. It is a picturesque town with a magnificent town hall, a romantic lighthouse and the mighty Miramare Castle , standing right on the seashore, not far from the city. Trieste prides itself on its monuments, especially the pretty buildings in the old part of the city. It is really worth paying attention to it and spending more time here.
