    1. Prague, Czech Republic)

    Visited here for the first time new year holidays in 2015. Revisited in summer 2016 and spring 2018.

    The main advantages of Prague are, firstly, accessibility (from Moscow and St. Petersburg there are daily flights for 6-7 thousand rubles) and budget (prices correspond to Russian ones, and for some cost categories even lower). Secondly, in addition to the huge number of sights of Prague itself, there are also many interesting things in its environs and neighboring cities.

We traveled the entire coast of the country, from Herceg Novi to Ulcinj, in different companies (with friends or with children) and, without undue modesty, we can assure you that we have penetrated almost all aspects of recreation here :)

    9. Paris (France)

    After Amsterdam, Paris was waiting for us, which left us with rather contradictory impressions. At the moment, work is underway on a guide to the capital of France, information will be replenished gradually.

    10. Portugal

    In February 2017, I visited Porto for the first time. The city has become a real discovery for us. In the summer of 2018, we revisited Porto, as well as Lisbon and its environs. At the moment, work is underway on a separate site-guide to Portugal.

    11. Helsinki (Finland)

    Being advocates of reasonable consumption, we often try to rationally allocate the budget for our travels, which is why we have repeatedly used Helsinki Airport as a starting point. During all this time we managed to get to know this city quite closely and we are ready to give some useful tips.
