Terrible

Monastère magnifique ! Mais malheureusement acheter des tickets en avance ne sert à rien. J’ai payé pour rien. L’entrée au monastère est gratuite, seule le musée a l’intérieur est payant mais non...

Brussels

Atomium

Brussels's iconic Atomium was originally intended to be a temporary exhibition for the 1958 World Fair. It was so popular that the city decided to keep it, and now it offers incredible panoramic views and a wealth of history and culture in the exhibition spaces.

Sofia

The Church of St. George Rotunda

Dating back to the early 4th century, the Church of Saint George is considered Sofia's oldest building. Other than its impressive age, the rotunda also features five layers of frescoes. As you stare at the walls, make sure to keep an eye out for perhaps the most impressive of the lot, which dates back to the 10th century and shows the face of an angel in Bulgarian medieval style.
