Bratislava - Vienna's little sister

It is like crossroads of three worlds. The medieval town meeting art noveau city boulevards in Vienna style all covered in a shell remembering the times of the socialist brutalism. Once a Hungarian capital and coronation city, later moved to the periphery of the Empire's main events, only recently rediscovered as the majestic capital of independent Slovakia. Welcome to Bratislava.

Kyiv - Into the West?

Hello there, fellow travelers,
Long before there ever was Russia as we know it, there was Kyiv. Housing generations of princes and dukes in the fortress on the bank of the Dnipro river, this city has been the centerpiece of a once great empire the Kievan Rus, the very first east slavic country to ever exist. It was here where the ancient East Slavic expansion began and spread throughout the whole territory from eastern Poland to Alaska. Today the city and its peoples are trying to move further west. Will they? And can they? Let's find out. Welcome to Kyiv.

Segovia - A piece of Rome in Spain

Hello there :)
Did you know that if you wanted to see one of the most preserved Roman aqueduct, you would actually have to leave Italy for a bit and take a trip to the Hispanic peninsula. For only here you can find this marvelous piece of ancient architecture that not only stands as landmark on its own, but also serves as the main motive on the town's coat of arms and influences the whole country to that degree that almost all bridges in Spain are named after it - and I am not even exaggerate that much - only in Madrid itself, you can find two. Welcome to Segovia :)
