Prague surprised me in the best ways. It’s a city where centuries sit comfortably side by side: Gothic spires, Baroque palaces, and Rococo façades, all mixed with Cubist experiments and unapologetic Communist-era concrete.

If you're spending time in Madrid and looking for an easy and rewarding day trip, consider visiting Segovia. This charming city is packed with history, beauty, and excellent food—and its three main attractions can comfortably be seen in a single day.
