Ghent is a super charming city in Belgium, combining medieval charm with modern vitality. There are spectacular ancient buildings here, such as St. Bavo's Cathedral (which houses the famous "Mystic Lamb" altarpiece), Gravenstine Castle, and the photo-worthy bell tower. The small bars and leisurely cafes along the canal make the whole city romantic and a bit literary. Moreover, Ghent is a great place to explore by bicycle, which is environmentally friendly and convenient, and is definitely worth a visit! #Belgium #Europe #Ghent #Middle Ages #Literature

Palanok Castle is situated on a hill overlooking the city of Mukachevo and its surrounding areas. Its history dates back to the 7th century, having served as a fortress, a palace, and a prison, and now stands as a tourist attraction. It is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in western Ukraine, with well-maintained walls, towers, and fortifications that offer a deep insight into the turbulent history of Ukraine and Central Europe. As you walk through its numerous halls and staircases, you can feel the strong medieval atmosphere. Additionally, because the castle is built on a hilltop in the middle of the lowlands, there are several spots where you can enjoy stunning views of the town of Mukachevo and its surroundings. Inside the castle, there are several small exhibitions showcasing the history of Mukachevo and the castle's most famous stories, such as the Rakoczi era, the ancient history of Mukachevo, painter Mihály Munkácsy, and poet Sándor Petőfi. Some English audio guides or English-speaking guides can help you learn more about the castle and the city. Other amenities include taking photos in medieval costumes (30 UAH for the lower castle, 20 UAH for the middle castle), a café offering coffee, tea, and ice cream, and a gallery displaying works by local artists. If you enjoy wine tasting, be sure to set aside time to visit the castle's medieval wine cellar to sample wines - I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! For just 80 UAH, you can taste 8 local wines - three white wines, three red wines, and the famous local fortified sweet rosé wine 'Transcarpathian Rose' (the taste of the last one is something you've never tried before - a must for any wine connoisseur!). The wine tasting alone is worth the visit. We spent over 4 hours there, and you can take a day to truly appreciate the history. The castle is easily accessible by bus from the city center, with a journey of no more than 15 minutes, and then you can walk up the hill to reach the castle.

Gruyères is a small town in the canton of Fribourg in western Switzerland, with a total area of ​​only 28.4 square kilometers and an altitude of 810 meters. This medieval town is an important tourist destination in the upper valley of the Saone River. It produces the best cheese in Switzerland named after Gruyère, and its cheese products have become a must-have on tourists' tables. The history of Gruyères dates back to the Hallstatt period (12th-8th centuries BC) and the La Téné period (325-250 BC). This is confirmed by graves to the north of the castle of Gruyères and other traces of the Bronze Age. In addition, the remains of a Roman villa from the 2nd to 3rd century AD and an early medieval cemetery were discovered nearby. On June 22, 1476, Gruyère took part in the Battle of Morat against Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. With the help of the Old Swiss Confederacy, they defeated the Burgundian army and captured three cloaks of the Order of the Golden Fleece that had belonged to Charles the Bold, including one bearing the coat of arms of his father Philip. Interestingly, the fight happened just as Charles was celebrating the anniversary of his father's death. During the Thirty Years’ War, nuns from the Hospice of Saint Bernard the Great and the Congregation of the Visitation of Our Lady of Mary fled from Besançon and Dole, eventually settling in Gruyères. #Switzerland is a great place #lake scenery #overseas travel #food tour #Switzerland is so beautiful #Swiss Alps #castle #Middle Ages #European travel #European tourism #Swiss travel

Olbia is located in the province of Sassari, in the north of Sardinia, Italy, the second largest island in the Mediterranean. The name of the city originated in Greek. It was called Olbia in Roman times, Civita in the Middle Ages, Terranova in the 1940s, and Olbia was restored after World War II. Although the name is of Greek origin, according to archaeological findings, the city of Olbia was first settled by the Nuragic or Phoenician peoples due to the presence of Greeks in the seventh century BC. It contains remains from the Nuracian era to the Roman era, when it was an important port, and in the Middle Ages, it was the capital of Galluras, one of the four independent states of Sardinia at the time. During the First Punic War, the Romans fought the Carthaginians and Sardinians near Olbia, where the Roman general Hanno was killed. Although Olbia is not a tourist city today, it is a port city for traveling to mainland Italy, with ships sailing back and forth every day. I usually like to choose a night boat and arrive early the next morning. For tourists, this saves a lot of time. And no matter what season it is, as long as it is a sunny day, you can watch the sunrise here, which may be a rare scene in your life. #italy #history #overseas travel #mediterranean #European travel #European tourism #ferry #sunrise #medieval #port #sea view

La Rochelle is the capital of the Charente department in the New Aquitaine region of France. It is a port city on the west coast of France on the Strait of Antioch on the Cantabrian Sea of ​​the Atlantic Ocean. The city has a strong commercial tradition and had an active port early in its history. La Rochelle continued to develop in the Middle Ages and has maintained its economic status in modern times, as its port, La Palisse, is the only deep-water port on the French Atlantic coast and is ranked as the sixth most important port in France. The city's origins date back to the Gallo-Roman period, as evidenced by the remains of important salt marshes and villas. The Duke of Aquitaine granted it a charter as a free port in 1130. With the opening of the English market after Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen of King Louis VII of France, became queen of Henry II of England in 1154, and the emergence of the Knights Templar and the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, the town quickly became the largest port in the Atlantic. Today, the city still has a wealth of historical buildings, including the Tower of St. Nicholas (cover) and urban heritage. This city, once the capital of the French department of Aubignan, has become the most important coastal city between the Loire and Gironde estuaries. At the beginning of the 21st century, the city was consistently ranked as one of the most livable cities in France. #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #EuropeTourism #France #FranceTravel #FranceTourism #Harbor #Middle Ages #AncientCity #TowerGate #Seaview

The Fortress of Valença is a jewel of military architecture, with 5 km of walls, a vibrant and multicultural military fortress. The fortifications of Valença, a village on the left bank of the Minho River, on the border between Portugal and Galicia, Spain, date back to the transition period between the 12th and 13th centuries. Its purpose was to defend the village and the crossing of that section of the river. In the context of the Portuguese Restoration War, this border fort was completely renovated by the Portuguese-French military engineer Miguel de l’Ècole. In this way, the walls were rebuilt to enclose the extended perimeter of the village, and a new system of fortified structures was erected. It resisted the Spanish invasion when the first works began in 1643 and was still under construction when it fell into Spanish hands in 1654, but was reconquered by Portuguese troops under the command of the Count of Castelo Melhor. Work continued in 1661 and was completed in 1713, when its last architect, Manuel Pinto de Villalobos, declared it finished. At the end of the 18th century, the gunpowder store's walls were reinforced and a slaughterhouse was built in 1774. During the Peninsular War, after fierce resistance, it fell into the hands of Napoleon's troops under the command of Soult in 1809, who blew up the Gate of the Sun. During the Portuguese Civil War, the fort joined the Liberals in 1828 and, while in Belfast, was besieged by Royalist forces, surrendering after nine days. The Liberals only reconquered it in 1830, reinforced by British Admiral Charles Napier. Today, from the fortress you can clearly see the Valenza highway-railway bridge on the right, which spans the Portugal-Spain border river and the Minho river. It is the highway-railway infrastructure of the Valenza International Division. The bridge was completed on March 25, 1986. On the right side of the opposite bank of the Minho River is the medieval Spanish city of Tui. The houses, military buildings, churches, views of the Minho River, the international bridge and the medieval old town are all in a unique picture. This is the scene you see at first glance when standing on the fortress. #Overseas Travel #Fortress #Border #Boundary River #Bridge #Bridge #Ancient City Wall #Middle Ages #Portugal Travel #Spain Travel
