    New Walk Museum

    Posted by judithcumming 18 February 2008

    It is a museum and art gallery on a beautiful pedestrianised street that goes from Victoria Park right down into the centre of town. It is free, always interesting and has a good quiet café at the back of the building too.

    Slaščičarna Šmon

    Posted by judithcumming 17 February 2008

    It's a lovely bakery and cake shop situated up by the castle above the lake. The custard cream slice is to die for!

    Near the Castle.

    Ćevapi

    Posted by judithcumming 17 February 2008

    It is a Bosnian dish of grilled spiced mince meat sausages stuffed in a flatbread served with chopped onions. It is found all over the Balkans but I had the best ones in Sarajevo.

    Any café in the Baščaršija area.

    Navigli district

    Posted by judithcumming 15 November 2007

    It is an area round the small and often unknown canal system in Milan. There are lots of restaurants hugging the canal banks and they are a lot cheaper than ones in the centre of town.

    Line 2 (Green) to Porta Genova.

    Tío Vivo

    Posted by judithcumming 15 November 2007

    A bar that is based around a rather loose 'merry-go-round' theme (there are also chains and old priests' vestments on the wall). It's a dark and mysterious world here and the café bonbons are highly recommended! (Coffee, condensed milk and Baileys.)

    Just off C/Toro by H & M.

    Tierentyn Mustard

    Posted by judithcumming 15 November 2007

    It is the hottest mustard I've ever encountered in the world and is only found in Ghent. It goes particularly well as a dip for cheese alongside your beer.

    Just past the Korenmarkt, heading towards the Graveenstein.

    Frituur Jozef

    Posted by judithcumming 15 November 2007

    It is a little chip van that provides quality frites with mayonnaise. Just what is needed for a truly Belgian experience!

    Vridajmarkt, near the massive socialist style building with a large window and clock.

    Hotel Abel

    Posted by judithcumming 19 November 2006

    It is a very reasonably priced hotel in the centre of Kazimierz on ul Jozefa.

    The rooms are clean, towels and sheets are changed daily and although we did not ask for a triple room (and we only paid for the double that we requested) the very friendly staff (who were pleasantly surprised and helpful at my attempts to speak Polish) and hearty breakfast made it a good choice. We also happened to discover one of our favourite bars in Krakow just 20 yards away!

    ul Jozefa 30, Krakow

    The Cogwheel Railway

    Posted by judithcumming 19 November 2006

    It is a simple rack and pin railway that takes you up into the Buda hills, from where you can have wonderful views over to Pest and go walking on various trails through the hills. You can also walk to the Children's Railway (a model railway entirely operated by children volunteers) from here, although we did not have time to do this I would recommend it.

    It is Europe's third oldest cogwheel railway and when you go up into the snow covered hills in January its very pretty and very romantic.

    It is also part of the BKV system therefore if you have day tourist travel tickets you can travel on the cogwheel railway along with the buses, trams and metro.

    The lower terminus is opposite the Hotel Budapest in Buda, you can catch a tram to here from Moskva Ter and it only takes 10 minutes at most.
