This page has hibernated for winter, but it's time to wake it up.

This weekend we opened the 2019 trip season with a short getaway to Kutná hora. Here are some moments I wanted to share. Enjoy blue skies and UNESCO... https://t.co/P9I6wYFSGy

[NEW POST ALERT] My 2018 was a year of rediscovering Czech destinations. Bohemian Switzerland was one of the highlights. Why? Check out the post!

I fell in love with Dresden Neustadt at first sight. I guess no one who knows me well is particularly suprised by this, but I still feel like I need to share <3 — at Dresden- Neustadt https://t.co/sY9mLn6hES

I've got Hamburg on my mind today and I tought it might actually be a good time to go through some unpublished images I took back in February*. Here are my favorites. Which one do you like the most?

Guess the destination I will be focusing on!

[NEW POST ALERT] Better late than later! I just posted some pic(k)tures from Kotor on the blog. Because I have a blog, remember?

Just enjoying Indian Summer (aka Golden Autumn) on a free day.

I don't post a lot of art related content these days, but I really enjoy contemporary art galleries.I really love DOX in Prague, for instance. Here is a visual proof of that affair:-) — at DOX https://t.co/pWFJCQUT8q

If you like castles and chateaux, you simply have to visit Czech Republic. This country is like an open air museum.

Here is a chateau of the day - Veltrusy.

It's only 25 km away from Prague! — in Veltrusy https://t.co/FZ5AXJqjN1

Random place of the day: the Great Market Hall in Budapest

Probably my favorite place ever to get groceries from. — at Great Market Hall https://t.co/syxtFvUCGK

Have you ever traveled somewhere just because of a book? I did. I took a trip to Višegrad to see the bridge on the Drina which inspired Ivo Andrić to write his famous historical novel.

It's a beautiful bridge... https://t.co/AD6LigH6n7

Some impressions from a walk along the Sazava River last weekend. A very nice trail, ideal for a day trip from Prague. — in Pikovice https://t.co/Y0PeJV4uKt

Some people consider it odd to visit graveyards on trips, but I just can't help myself. Sometimes they are the most serene of places. The Forest Cemetery in Zlin might be my all time favorite. It seemed to be quite popular among deers, too. — at... https://t.co/S5xiQZFQnZ

[zof_thepicktures @thepicktures]

Zlin is a strange town, very different from any other Czech city I visited.

Its development after the World War I was closely connected to....yeah, a shoe company. Have you ever heard of Bata Shoes? That's where... https://t.co/loZqvRxBoy

Facebook tells me it's been 5 years since I took a leap of faith and moved to Armenia all by myself.

Yesterday was a bank holiday here in Czech Republic. We decided to celebrate it with a trip to the Říp Mountain (or should I call it a Říp Hill?). It's probably the most famous Czech hill - according to a legend... https://t.co/KO2yyLOQrN

I just realised I never shared any pictures from my trip to Bucharest this May. I actually went there to take part in a poetry festival. Fortunately I had some free time to explore the city and rediscover it - it's... https://t.co/hfdhKMFd26

I'm back with my daily dose of the Czech Republic*. Seeing all the notable castles and palaces of this country would probably take a lifetime, but I'm trying my best. Here is Křivoklát Castle a few weeks ago.

I've always been a big fan of regional travel and discovering my own backyard. This spring I managed to fit a daytrip in my schedule almost every weekend, and it was delightful.

Last Saturday I returned to Český... https://t.co/inuOmlgfZj

Bohemian Switzerland Day 2

Here are my favorite moments from Edmund Gorge and Wild Gorge, another truly awesome day trip idea in the National Park NP České Švýcarsko. It's very beautiful, easily accesible, and quite relaxing. — in Hrensko https://t.co/IN8qAuM9vW
