Cabo da Roca: TripTemptation Visited The Edge Of The World

Less than an hour from Lisbon there is a famous place: Cabo da Roca.... or the most westerly point in Europe. People who lived here (right up to the 14th century) believed it was the edge of the world. We could not miss it, and it turned out to be absolutely worth visiting.

This enchanted place is very quiet and peaceful. Especially in winter. One can find here nothing.... just the light house, a small coffee shop and a gift shop. And of course unique nature.... the real paradise for photographers.

Usually tourists spend 20-30 minutes here. We have done all the trails and discovered the hidden corners of the most mysterious place in Europe. And for certain we recommend visiting it.

  • Many tourists come to London every year and enjoy the vibrant capital city, but less than half of them explore other parts of foggy Albion. That’s not right! Great Britain is a fabulous place to travel around. There are so many things to do and see, you just can’t miss it. Here is my list of favourite castles, from elegant England to mysterious Scotland – and believe me, I’ve visited a lot of them!

  • After a car trip along the Balkans I felt in love with their beauty and charm. Dubrovnik, appeared to be one of my brightest impressions. It is a city of a picturesque old town with marble streets, baroque buildings and endless shimmering of the Adriatic. This city attracts millions of tourists and many celebrities such as Tina Turner, Brian Ferry. Diego Maradona was also recently spotted here. Now I understand why.

  • One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world – Bangkok – is famous for its year round, al fresco, rooftop bars. The tropical climate allows visitors to admire the sunset on the horizon of this vast South East Asian city and feel the energy and vibe of this exotic megapolis.

  • Here we are, enjoying another great afternoon tea but this time we’re not in London, not even close. The TripTemptation team has landed in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and we've headed straight for Etihad Towers - the tallest and newest towers in Abu Dhabi. Our visit started with a very special tea ceremony.

  • Spectacular mountains, beautiful white-sand beaches and the sexiest people in the world. That’s all about Rio. But today I want to show you my very special apartment in this tropical paradise, which made my trip even more unique and amazing.

  • The climate on Tenerife is close to ideal, with temperatures between 18 to 25 degrees all year round, even in February when we explored it. We decided to start with the capital, Santa Cruz, and we didn’t regret it. Most tourists skip it, as there aren't any beautiful beaches or famous tourist attractions. The weather in Santa Cruz is chillier than on other parts of the island, especially during the wintertime, but it's still very warm

I still remember my first trip. It was to London. I fell in love with this city the moment I saw it. Just - "click", and my heartbeat quickened. I was chosen by it. Red and funny double-decker buses, serious black cabs, the gorgeous Buckingham palace... That's it! I am your admirer forever! From that moment I have visited many places and have been to many countries. Traveling became my passion. My long lasting love, which I hope will never end.
