    Sanssouci Palace Is The Little Palace I Loved Near Berlin

    Sanssouci Palace may be small, but its impact is undeniable. Once a cherished retreat for Friedrich the Great, this stunning palace is just a short day trip from Berlin—and it exceeded all my expectations with its intricate decor and thoughtful design, all done by Friedrich himself. With only 10 main rooms, exploring the palace won’t take up your entire day, but each room is a masterpiece of elegance. And a visit to Potsdam isn’t really a visit if you don’t see see Sanssouci.

    Germany

    From Ruins to Radiance: The Inspiring Tale of Dresden’s Frauenkirche

    We’d joined a walking tour of Dresden and the first stop, just to see the exterior at first was the iconic Church of Our Lady, or Frauenkirche. The surrounding plaza was empty so it was just just us and views of this stunning towering facade. A few hours later as our route circled back and we had learned more about the history of Dresden, Germany, we stepped foot inside. After the stories of sheer destruction we’d heard and seeing the pictures of the rubble of Frauenkirche which sat for 45 years after WWII before being rebuilt to what it is today, the beauty was overwhelming. What a show of hope…

    The Food We Loved In The Netherlands… and Some We Didn’t

    Having spent two years exploring the traditional foods in the Netherlands, I can confidently say that Dutch cuisine is not all that exciting. While some dishes like stroopwafels and poffertjes consistently called my daughter’s name and kibbeling had us coming back for more, in general, the fare is kind of boring. But don’t let that discourage you! The Netherlands might not offer the foodie adventure of other places, but it does have some straightforward fare to try. Get ready to eat in the Netherlands from restaurant fare to street food carts, here’s what we loved… and what we didn’t. And, if you can’t take it anymore and need food actually…

    Discover the Bastei Bridge: The Most Popular Place in Germany’s Saxon Switzerland

    I had to look at the map three times to confirm we were in Germany despite being told I was in Saxon Switzerland so many times. Wait, where are we? Headed from Prague to Berlin, we stopped to see the famous Basteibrücke, or Bastei Bridge, in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The mountains, part of the Saxon Switzerland National Park which sits on the border of Germany and the Czech Republic is nowhere near Switzerland, but worth the stop. The Bastei Bridge has the highest number of visitors of all lookout points in Saxon Switzerland (which is in Germany). You won’t be the only one there, but you’ll still be impressed…
