If you have even a passing interest in movies and moviemaking, the Cinema and Miniature Museum in Lyon is pretty much a must-visit.
Yep, another city, another cemetery. This one can’t even come close to the amazing Monumental Cemetery in Milan, but it’s definitely worth a visit.
If you’re anywhere in the area, you pretty much have to check out Matera. It’s been continuously occupied since the Palaeolithic era (!), making it the oldest city in Italy and in Europe.
Trani actually makes for a thoroughly delightful day trip from Bari; it’s a quick, cheap train ride away, and it’s extremely scenic.
Yeah, that’s right, I said it — a cemetery is a must-visit. I stand by it!
I’ve mentioned before that once you start going to a lot of big, old European churches, they all start to blend together a little bit.
There are exceptions, however. One of those exceptions: St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest. It’s an absolutely amazing building.
Vlatadon Monastery is a 14th century monastery in Thessaloniki that’s interesting to visit, but notable mostly for the jaw-dropping view.
There are three important churches that you’re probably going to want to see when you’re in Thessaloniki. They are the Hagia Sophia, the Church of the Acheiropoietos, and the Church of Saint Demetrius.
The Rotunda in Thessaloniki is a really striking building that’s hard to miss. It wasn’t even on my list of things to see — I just happened to walking around the city, and saw this:
Yep, more ruins in Paphos. If you’re not interested in spending time at the beach, the ruins are really the only thing to do/see in Paphos.
