Places to visit in Barcelona, the first thing that comes to mind is the Sagrada Familia Cathedral with cranes on top and architect Gaudi. Colorful houses with interesting architecture are coming. Football fans, on the other hand, can’t wait to see the FC Barcelona stadium In this article, I will try to explain the places you will consider visiting during your Barcelona tour. For other topics such as transportation, accommodation, entertainment, food, shopping and travel budget, you can check out my BARCELONA TRAVEL GUIDE and BARCELONA FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE.

Many museums and The attraction is open until 18:00 in the autumn-winter period and until 20:00 in the spring-summer period.. In this context, you can adjust your program according to your travel date.

Since it will be mentioned in the article a lot, Casa means home

I tried to explain the sights that are close to each other in order, starting from one place.. Keep our map open in the side tab, you can change the route according to your own plan.. Other places that I can’t add due to destination restrictions but I mentioned in the article already appear on the map (such as Picasso Museum, Espit Chupitos, Agbar Tower).

The house of Hansel and Gretel on the right and the witch on the left in Park Güell. When you pass through the buildings and walk a little further, you will see the famous chameleon statue.

Park Güell: It was started to be built by Gaudi in 1900 and it was turned into a park 26 years later. open to visit. The purpose of having it built by Güell, who is the owner of the land, was actually commercial, it emerged as a green area project of 60 residences.. However, not many people bought a house from the project When Güell died in 1918, his heirs sold the land to the municipality and left the project, so the municipality decided to protect the area as a park.

Hansel and Gretel The fact that the story was designed in the period when it started to be staged as an opera has been influential in the design of the park.. When you enter, the small building with a cross on the left is the house of Hansel and Gretel.. The witch’s house on the right, with its dome shaped like a poisonous mushroom

The stairs leading down are separated by a small waterfall in the middle, where everyone who goes to Barcelona must have a picture taken. there is the famous dragon/chameleon. Of course we do the same

Park Güell’s entrance fee is 7.5 Euros when you buy the ticket online, but it is more than normal ticket offices. 8.5 euros when bought. It can be a bit risky since you have to choose the time in addition to the day when you buy it from the internet, as a result, it is difficult to predict where and how much to travel and what time we will be here.. That’s why I think it’s better to buy tickets at the door.

You probably won’t be able to get tickets to the next session right away due to the crowd; but since the part that is visited without a ticket is also a very large area, start there and enter through the nearest door when the time comes.. The time issue is critical, you must enter within half an hour from the time written on your ticket.

After completing this park, which is a great work, Gaudi was hit by a tram in the same year and he was 3rd from the accident. died days later. Today, Park Güell is on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Sant Pau is a hospital, designed with a lively architecture to uplift patients. It’s hard to believe it’s a building.

Casa Museu Gaudi (Gaudi House Museum): Between 1852 – 1926 Architect Antoni Gaudi, who lived in Park Güell, stayed in this house for 20 years and was opened to visitors as a museum about 40 years after his death.. Inside, there are objects designed by Gaudi and his works.. The entrance is 5.5 Euros, but when it is combined with the ticket, which is normally 22 Euros in the form of Sagra da Familia plus audio guide, it becomes a total of 24 Euros (3.5 Euros advantageous).. In other words, if you are going to visit Sagra da Familia with an audio guide (no Turkish language option), buy a combined ticket with Casa Museu Gaudi, and if you are going to visit without an audio guide, buy a separate ticket (Sagra da Familia entrance without audio guide is 15 Euro).

It is possible to reach Casa Museu Gaudi by getting off at the Lesseps stop on the L3 line of the metro or by taking the buses numbered 24, 92, 32, H6 and 116.

Casa Vicens: Started in 1883 and took 5 years to complete. Since it was built by Gaudi by a tile manufacturer, the tiles produced by the owner were used abundantly on the exterior of the building.. Thus, the man intended to advertise his own products.. Inspired by Indian and Japanese architectures, a beautiful contrast of brick color and bright green and white tiles was tried to be achieved.. This building, which is one of the first examples of modernism in Europe, can be reached by bus number 92.

Casa Vicens is a bit stuck in the middle.. If you have limited time, you can skip this place and prioritize Gaudi’s other houses.

Sagrada Familia Basilica, Berselona, ​​whose construction has been going on for more than 100 years The symbol of is accepted.

Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau (Hospital of the Holy Cross and of Saint Paul): The hospital, which was built between 1902 and 1926 by the architect named Montaner, is considered one of the best examples of Art Nouveau (modernism) in the world.. The buildings, streets and gardens of the hospital, which is designed like a city on its own, have been tried to be made in a way to make the most of daylight and fresh air so that patients and doctors feel better than in a traditional hospital.. Today, it is on the UNESCO world heritage list.

La Sagrada Familia (The Sacred Family): Barcelona’ The construction of this catholic basilica, which is the symbol of God and Gaudi’s masterpiece, started in 1882 and is still continuing.. Visited by an average of 5000 people a day and the first place that comes to mind when everyone thinks of places to visit in Barcelona, this landmark has become the most important symbol of modernism.

Sagrada Familia visiting hours are from 09:00 to 20:00, but it may be useful to go early as there are extremely long queues in front of it.. The entrance price is only 15 Euros for the basilica, 7 Euros is added if you buy an audio guide, and 7 Euros is added if you want to go up to the tower.. It can be a nice experience to choose one of the two towers and watch the city view from 65 meters high.. The queue is very, very long, definitely buy your ticket in advance to avoid the wait.. Click to buy tickets.

The interior of Sagrada Familia is also very interesting and is visited by thousands of tourists every day.

The tower to the east (facing the city center) is called the Nativity Façade. This place symbolizes the birth of Jesus, as Nativity means birth in English.. Gaudi completed this part while he was alive so that people who will continue the construction after him understand the importance and size of the project.. West facing Passion Façade can be translated into Turkish in a way like passion facade. Symbolizes the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. If you are there near sunset, you may prefer to climb this tower as the last light of the day will fall to the west.

Get off at the Sangrada Familia stop on the L2 or L5 line by metro, or by bus at 19, You can go by using lines 33, 34, 43, 44, 50, 51, B20, B24.

Casa Mila (La Pedrera): This eight-storey building, which is considered to be the strongest proof of Gaudi’s genius personality, his unique aesthetic understanding, and his interest in shapes, colors and the geometry of nature, was also an important example of the modernism (Art Niveau) movement that Gaudi was influenced by in those years.. The construction of the house, which started as soon as Casa Batllo was finished in 1906, took 6 years to complete.. It was nicknamed La Pedrera, meaning quarry, because it looked like it was made of stone and was not liked much in the first years of its construction.. Today it is on the UNESCO world protection list.. Entrance fee is 22 Euros together with the audio guide. Click to buy tickets.

The shapes on the terrace of Casa Mila resemble fairy chimneys.

There are different ticket options to see La Pedrera illuminated in the evening, you can check it out on its website.

Very easy to reach, right in the center of the city. You can get off at the Diagonal stop on the L3 metro line, the Provença stop of the trains, or use one of the buses 7, 16, 17, 22, 24 and 28.

Very close to Casa Mila Another famous building is Casa Terrades or Casa de Les Punxes. Although Gaudi did not design it, the building, made of brick and made to look like a palace with its towers, became one of the most famous modernism projects.. See and examine this place from the outside as you pass by.

Casa Batllo, which aims to distribute the light equally on the floors by increasing the color of its ceramics and enlarging the windows as you go down. >

Casa Batllo: The exterior is very vibrant, colorful and looks like it’s made of sugar The interior is even more interesting. For example; In order for equal light to fall on all floors of the building, Gaudi laid the ceramics in a way that starts from light blue on the lower floors and slowly transitions to blue tones towards the upper floors.. To complete this effect, the windows and balconies of the lower floors were designed larger than the upper floors.. Thus, it has tried to ensure that the lower floors are at the same level of light as the upper floors, thanks to both light-colored ceramic coatings and large windows-balconies.. Entrance 24.5 Euros, with fast pass to avoid queues 29.5 Euros. Audio guide is included in the entrance fee (of course, there is no Turkish language option), video guide is paid.. Tickets are here.

Get off at the Passeig de Gracia stop, which is the intersection of the L2, L3 and L4 metro lines, or 7, 16, 17, 22, 24, You can go by bus number 28.. Since Passeig de Gracia street is big and a street in the center, it is very easy to reach here.

You will notice that the building just to the left of Casa Battlo also has an unusual architecture.. This building is called Casa Amatller. It’s not that famous because it wasn’t made by Gaudi, but it’s also an example of modernism.

Casa Battlo’s terrace

Casa Calvet: Made by Gaudi between 1898 – 1899. Due to the importance Gaudi gave to imagery, different meanings were attributed to each element in the building.. For example; Balcony railings made of wrought iron symbolize different types of mushrooms since Calvet, the first owner of the building, was an amateur mushroom expert.. The windows depicted the uniforms of the Catalan army and the cypress tree associated with hospitality.. quite interesting. Stop by if you have time, but the priority should be Casa Mila and Casa Batllo.

Parc de la Ciutadella: Barcelona’s park with a lake and a zoo. The oldest, largest and most popular park. A little touring around is a must.

You can reach Parc de la Ciutadella, the largest park in the city, by passing under the Arc de Triomf.

Catalonian Parliament is located here. If you want to visit the zoo, the entrance is 16 Euros. You can also take a short walk from the park to the Arc de Triomf, made of red brick and decorated with ceramics (or if you come from the other direction, you will enter the park by passing under the Arc de Triomf). You should get off at Arc de Triomf stop on the red metro line (L1).

Port Olimpic and Port of Barcelona: This is the most lively port of the Mediterranean.. If you go, don’t miss the 60 meter high statue of Christopher Columbus (Monumento Colon). Port Olimpic can be suitable for swimming during the day or for both the view and dinner at sunset; because there are many cafes, bars and restaurants. I think this area is reminiscent of Çeşme Marina

Barcelona’s famous nude beaches are located in this area.. Therefore, especially those who come in the summer months can spend more time around Barcelona.

There is also a large aquarium (L’Aquarium de Barcelona) for the enthusiast. Near the Barceloneta stop of the metro. I didn’t go because there are similar ones in Istanbul.

Museu de la Xocolata: Chocolate Museum. Entry 6 Euros. I like it, it contains all kinds of buildings, figures and cartoon characters made of chocolate. When I entered, they asked where I was from, and when I said it, they gave me my chocolate entry ticket with a Turkish flag and ‘welcome’ in Turkish I recommend you to have a hot chocolate in the cafe section to take a breather when you finish visiting the museum.

You can see the chocolate sculptures of your favorite cartoon heroes at the Chocolate Museum.

Museu Picasso ( Picasso Museum): Picasso lived in Barcelona for more than 15 years and many of his works are on display in the museum.. The museum is closed on Mondays, open from 09:00 to 19:00 on other days.. They made a free entrance special on Sundays after 15:00.. The entrance fee for other times is 12 Euros. By metro, get off at Arc de Triomf on the red line, Jaume I on the yellow line, or Liceu on the green line, or 17 – 40 – 45 – 19 (Via Laietana stop), 39 – 51 (Passeig Picasso stop), 14 – 59 (Pla de It can be reached by lines (Palau stop) and 120 (Princesa stop).

El Palau Güell: This Güell palace with Gothic architecture was built by Gaudi, It was his first major work for his boss Güell.. Its construction started in 1886 and it took 4 years to finish.. Entry 12 Euros. On April 23, May 18 and September 24, admission is free (I said that September 24 is the Le Merce Festival, it’s a public holiday). I came across September 24, there are quite long queues in front of it and free tickets can run out.. Therefore, even if you come across a lucky day like me, it is better to go early.. You will see the directions on La Rambla, the location is very easy.

You can take a short time to see the opera house Liceu on La Rambla street. I entered because it piqued my interest, 20 minute tour 6 Euro, student ticket 5 Euro.. If you want to see more interesting buildings, you can also go to Pavellons Güell, built by Gaudi as the summer residence of the Güell family.. It’s close to Camp Nou, but not one of the top attractions.

FC Barcelona’s one of the most successful football clubs. Stop by Camp Nou to see the stadium, trophies and museum of .

Camp Nou: FC Barcelona’s stadium. Tickets for the stadium tour and museum tour are 25 Euros, but it’s worth it for those who are curious, of course, I went Set your schedule and get the tickets online so that you don’t have to wait in line at the door.

While planning your Barcelona holiday, Camp Camp Can’t miss watching FC Barcelona match in Nou. Pop Event, where you can reliably buy your FC Barcelona match ticket, will help you with this.

If we drive south from Camp Nou, we can reach Poble Espanyol and Castell de Montjuic. we are getting closer. If you are not going to Camp Nou, you can go that way from Port Olimpic, Chocolate Museum, Picasso Museum or Palau Güell.

If you like art museums, you can visit the Catalan National Art Museum ( Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya). It is located in the square called Plaça de Espanya (Spanish Square) close to Poble Espanyol.

Poble Espanyol (Spanish Village): Located on Montjuic Hill, we can call this village an open-air museum.. The entrance fee of the village, which consists of 117 buildings, 30 shops and workshops and 18 restaurants, is 13 Euros.. You can view the details on the website.

You can get off at Espanya stop by metro or by bus number 13 or 150.

Stop by the hill where Montjuic Castle is located, and from there you can go to Plaça de Espanya and Font Magica.

Font Magica: This pool in Plaça Espanya is also called Magic Fountain of Montjuic. The ornamental pool is danced with lights accompanied by music, a beautiful show. Check show times on the website to match.

Castell de Montjuic (Montjuic Castle): Montjuic Located on the hill, this castle offers a beautiful view from 170 meters high.. Entry 5 Euros. You can also choose to walk around the hill (free of charge) and watch the view without entering the castle.

Museums, art galleries, night clubs, amusement park and Olympic stadium are located in this area.. You must get off at the Parallel stop in the lower left corner of the metro map and take the Montjuic funicular train first, then walk for 10-15 minutes or take the Montjuic cable car.. You can also use bus number 150, which passes through places you are likely to stop by, such as Plaça d’Espanya and Poble Espanyol, which I think is the most logical way to use the bus.. Because the cable car fee is 7.5 Euros one way.

The other places to visit in Barcelona are: like this:

La Rambla: Barcelona’s most famous street. Hotels, restaurants, shops, street performances are whatever you look for.

Torre Agbar, which is thought to spoil the historical texture and the silhouette of the city, is very popular with the public. It is not liked.

Don’t forget to tour Plaça de Catalunya (Catalan Square), you will definitely pass by there at some point in your trip, because this is the city center. The big square that intersects with La Rambla.

Torre Agbar (Agbar Tower): This skyscraper, completed in 2005, was built in 2005 by the public to reflect the historical texture and the city’s It is not liked because it distorts its silhouette, and because of its shape, it is given unpleasant names such as dildo, big dick, condom.. Although there is some truth in the criticism (this is not Dubai?), the red and blue lighting in the evening is nice.. You will see it even if you don’t want to go up to any place that is high.

Santa Maria del Mar Cathedral: It is a very big place in the old town. cathedral. If you’re near, go and see it up close. You might even think it’s the Sagrada Familia when you first see it, take it apart like this: Sagrada Familia has a crane on top of it as construction continues

Sitges: Barcelona’ This summer town, which is half an hour away by train, is known as the place preferred by the rich and gays for vacation.. I didn’t go, but the town itself and the sea are beautiful.. If you’ve come in the summer and you have enough time, it can be a good alternative.

Tibidabo Amusement Park: Tibidabo amusement park, 1 hour train distance from Barcelona city center, is mine. It was one of the places that I could not spare due to limited time. I think it is a little difficult for those who have a trip to Barcelona for 3-4 days, but it depends on what your priority is. The ticket price is 28.5 Euros, the website is here.

Ouzo’s Birthplace Plomari, Mytilene

Published

on

By

Greece‘s greenest island Lesbos owes its green nature to water resources. Lesbos, the third largest island of the country, has lush forests, water springs, tiny canyons, endemic plants and incredible mountain views.

The island’s second largest city, Plomari, is and places that manage to stay away from the negative effects of urbanization due to its geographical location.. When you say the second largest city of the island, Plomari is not a city-like place.. The size that we can call the largest town or seaside resort in Turkey.. With its scattering mountain villages, the population of 7 thousand finds it difficult.

Plomari Square

With its pristine beaches, historical wooden houses, small taverns, plane and olive trees, coffee houses and views, Plomari journey is one of the best options to get away from it all.. No matter how crowded and active the center of Lesbos is, Plomari experiences the opposite.

The birthplace of Barbaros

As Captain-i Derya, the first captain of the Ottoman Empire Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha, who was the pasha and the great admiral, was born in Plomari in 1473.. Although there is no trace of Barbaros in Plomari, this name is very important for the history of the seafaring town.

Akrasi, Ampeliko, Megalohori, Neohori, Paleohori, which is known as Plomaritohoria on the south coast of Lesbos The town, consisting of the villages of Plagia, Trigonas, has a strategic location.. Dominating Chios in Greece and Karaburun in Izmir, the town has a deep-rooted trade tradition.

Beautiful photos can be taken in the side streets of Plomari

The place where ouzo and olive oil soap were first produced

strong>

Within the Greek islands, 19. Turning into one of the most important centers of industry, commerce, production and maritime trade in the mid-century, Plomari is also the place where the Greek national drink ouzo was first produced.. Today, just like raki, the quality of ouzo is measured by the water used.. Since Plomari has the best quality drinking water sources in the geography of Greece, the aroma it adds to ouzo is noticed everywhere.. There is no production today, except for a few ouzo workshops.. Plomari, with its beaches and cultural tourism, is a region where European, American and Turkish tourists spend more time in high season.. Since it is not very well known, the region, which is not crowded and uncomplicated, is ideal for those who want to relax and have a peaceful holiday. Ouzo, which he throws, is consumed in a similar way in coffee houses today.. Drinks thrown together while playing backgammon or chatting with friends accompany the pleasant conversation.. Unlike Turkey, the coffeehouse culture in Greece also includes the offering of liquor.

ouzos produced in Plomari

Because of the ouzo production, it is between Lesbos and Plomari. there is serious competition. What makes the cute town one step ahead of this competition is the quality water source and the qualified anise grown in the region with aromatic plants.. It is possible to count Pitsiladi, Yannaçi, Varvayani and Plomari/Isidoro Arvaniti among the ouzos that have become brands in the town.

Things to do in Plomari

The so-called ‘old town’ in the center of the town, which is one of the oldest settlements on the island, is where you can witness typical Greek architecture.. Two-story, bay window, mostly wooden houses line the narrow streets.. It is essential to enjoy walking among the historical houses on quiet and calm streets without traffic noise and to breathe the atmosphere of the town.

There are many shops, shops and coffee houses around the big plane tree in the city square.. After wandering the streets, it is quite enjoyable to relax, have a drink and chat with the local people.

The beaches, each carrying the blue flag, which are chirpy in the summer season, are an unforgettable experience for those who love sea, sand and sun holidays.. Agios Isidoros Beach is shown among the few beaches not only in the region but also in Greece.

Oceanis Cafe

Make sure to try frappe, one of the cold drinks consumed by the Greeks.. Iced coffee, which is prepared by adding milk and sugar according to preference, is available in cafes and coffee houses in every corner of the town.. One of my suggestions is the Oceanis Cafe, where we sit to drink frappe with its stylish design.. Souffle is around 3€, waffle is around 4€, frappe is around 2€, Turkish (Greek) coffee is around 1.5€.. When you sit in all restaurants and cafes, a large glass of water is offered free of charge.. Get immersed in life by sitting in the cafes that stretch towards the beach and the port.

There are 3 different museums in the town that appeal to enthusiasts. Varvayianni Ouzo Museum, Lomari Isidoros Arvanitis Ouzo Museum and Soap Museum are must-sees to see the most important production tools for this town.. The hospitality and warm welcome at the museums make people happy.

Where to stay in Plomari

There are nearly 25 accommodation options in the charming town.. Among these places that can be preferred according to the budget and accommodation concept, there is also a hostel, a luxury studio.. So before you go, decide exactly what kind of place you want to stay.. I stayed at Frini Studios on my trip to Plomari. There is a special 10 percent discount for Keşfetsek at the property that got full marks from me for its hospitality and approach.. Check out my Frini Studios post for discount details and a closer look at the facility.

The Mytilene-Plomari Road

How to get to Plomari

<

Plomari is 42 km from the center of the island of Lesvos.. Due to the nature of the road, this journey takes approximately 50 minutes by private vehicle.. In order to go to this town from Turkey, it is necessary to take a ferry from Ayvalık to Lesbos.. After the ferry ride that takes 1 hour and 15 minutes, the port of Lesbos is reached.. There is a municipal bus service between Mytilene and Plomari that runs 3-4 times a day.. However, without the hassle of the city bus, choose a pleasant journey by renting a car and being included in the nature view.

Plomari with its unspoiled nature, friendly people, historical structures, magnificent beaches, ouzo, olive oil and soap >, one of the most beautiful corners of Lesbos. Those planning a trip to Mytilene should spend a few days in this beautiful town.

Nepal Arrival

Published

on

By

After our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”. We had a comfortable journey to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, with a 55-minute flight from Varanasi.. Nepal is 3 hours 20 minutes ahead of Turkey and 15 minutes ahead of India.

From Victoria Subirano’s book named A teacher in Kathmandu so that you can get an idea before you come to Nepal. you can watch the movie “A Mirror in the Sky” which he freely inspired. It is the film that reveals how the education system in Nepal works, poverty and mysticism.

Kathmandu is located in the valley at the confluence of the Vishnumati and Bagmati rivers.. There are dozens of temples hidden between its streets.. While it is difficult to breathe from the exhaust fumes in its narrow streets, it is certain that you will discover many things in the company of colorful shops, peddlers, bookshops and local people.

A blend of 2 religions, It is very possible to see that Buddhism and Hinduism coexist in the country where it is intertwined, and this unity is reflected even in objects and temples.. Whether Buddhist or Hindu, everyone can easily perform their daily rituals according to their religious beliefs.. There are enough temples in the city. Someone who goes to work or wanders around the streets completes his prayer by ringing the bell in the tiny temple on the street and applying the red paint inside the temple to his forehead.. A person who has prayed has red paint on his forehead. When you see this, know that that person has prayed. Let’s not forget that the main element of flower worship. During the worship we witnessed in temples, they offer flowers to their gods and light candles.

We were surprised that the fruits we ate did not taste salty, although agriculture is the livelihood of the country.. Especially when we say that the banana is disgusting that we have not eaten in our life, we say it’s like straw, we ate a banana that tasted just like that.. We got our Nepal visa quickly and very easily at the airport for 25 USD (15 days). They came to meet us because our hotel had a pick-up service.. We arrived at our hotel without the need to take a taxi.

We wrote the details and places we visited in separate sections to be more descriptive.

But first, let’s list the must-haves and some information you need to know for those who are considering coming to Nepal:

Take a mask. Too much air pollution in the city. If you don’t want to walk in dust and smoke, take your mask.
Bring walking shoes. The roads are very bad and dusty.. If you don’t want your nails to get dirty, wear sneakers.
Those who come to Nepal by plane should get a free map from the airport.. The map you will get from the hotels is not very descriptive and guiding.
Visit the bookstores in the Thamel area. There is a wide variety of books, magazines and many products for anyone interested in books, not just travelers.
Buy LP-Nepal. If not, you can find it in Thamel.. But those who do not want to buy definitely need a guide in the temple areas.. But for me, the temples and the figures carved on the temple do not mean anything, if you only want to take pictures of them, you do not even need a guide.. They charge up to 100 rs from tourists, don’t give more than 25 rs. For your information! Locals don’t like discounts in Kathmandu.
. If you are going to shop, know that they sell you exponentially more expensive.
Although not everywhere, 25% tax is charged in many restaurants and cafes.
Have dinner at Northfield Restaurant in the Thamel area.. There will be a pleasant dinner next to a cozy wood fire accompanied by Nepali music.

Entrance fee to all Durbar squares.
Kathmandu Durbar Square : 750 rs.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square : 1100 rs.
Patan Durbar Square : 500 rs.

Eat jujudhav yogurt in Bhaktapur. We should have paid 25 rs for 3 yogurts, but because we are tourists we paid 150 rs

Eat Daal Bhaat. It’s like Indian Thali.

Eat Momo. A dish resembling a tibetan dumpling. Vegetable, buffalo meat, chicken options are available. A little spicy and bitter.

During the time we were in Kathmandu, we made kora in Buddhist temples, translated mantras and sent our wishes to the universe in the fastest way, we worshiped according to God in Hindu temples :), We photographed the most beautiful examples of Newari architecture, followed closely the funerals of the cremated dead in accordance with Hinduism, practiced their rituals, respectively, Svayambhu Mahachaitya (Monkey Temple) temple, Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, Bhaktapur, Changu Narayan Temple, Kathmandu and Patan Durbar Squares. SummaryArticle NameNepale ArrivalDescriptionAfter our tiring and intense trip to India, we got out of the chaos and arrived in Nepal, where we said “oh there is a world”.

Gdansk Travel Notes: Better Than Poland!

Published

on

By

There are some places that I came across somewhere and noted down and I couldn’t wait to go… Here is such a special route for me in Gdansk

I have been on my master’s degree for almost a year. Since I live in Brescia, Italy, I plan to visit various cities in Europe in combination.. I chose Gdansk first and said I’d go to Norway from here, to Alesund…

Gdansk Overview / Famous “Pencil Houses” of the City

My Plane Could Not Land in Gdansk

Here come the time, I went to Alesund and even got on the plane to Gdansk on the way back!

Oh what a plane ride…

While getting on I knew there was 55 km/h wind in Gdansk but I guessed it would be okay. But we couldn’t land on our first try, it passed, the plane was rocking like a cradle!

I Shared Those Moments We Couldn’t Land in Gdansk on Instagram @gorkemliyollarcom

An airstrip I was on for the first time in my life he had to pass, luckily the pilot managed to land in Gdansk on our second attempt…

It wasn’t a very good start, but I’m welcome Poland

Trying to go to Gdansk Glowny <

Finally Gdansk!

If the plane landed so hard, you should also think below, it’s as if I don’t come from the Norwegian fjords but went there, it’s so cold, wind, rain all together…

Since I got off at 10 pm anyway, I’m in trouble to go to my hostel and sleep You can actually reach the center directly from Gdansk Walesa airport by bus. But the buses after 11 o’clock leave at a different station called Wrzeszcz, and from there you reach the central Gdansk Glowny train station by commuter train.

That’s exactly how I got to the city and my hostel, but thanks to the Polish, who helped me while I was waiting for the bus. Thanks to a college couple…

Hello Gdansk / My First View in the City / Going to a Hostel

About Gdansk

Good morning from Gdanks!

This is Poland’ A city located on the Baltic Sea in the north of. Actually I visited all the Baltic countries and I loved it very much, but they said to Gdansk that this is Poland, you are not exactly Baltic

I mean this is Poland but Gdansk I think It’s even more beautiful than Poland…

Morning Hours / Walking By Motlawa

I’ve visited the capital Warsaw before, but now Gdansk is getting me pretty excited, let’s see what we’ll see…

Since my hostel is located at the northern end of the city, I also start walking from the riverside towards the center.

Yes, Gdansk is a typical Baltic city… I say that this city also has islands, rivers and plenty of water

Too Much Wind, But Not Without a Selfie

The Spirit of Gdansk: Motlawa River

Our River is Motlawa!

If I follow the Motlawa river, Gdansk’ It means I can almost completely tour the city. Because the city consists of this city and the small islands it surrounds.

First of all, when I come across a beautiful Gdansk text, she says OK. um I’m in the right place…

I Love Those City Names You Must See Me To Understand The Wind…

The Famous Cute Pencil Houses of Gdansk

The first thing I want to tell you in Gdansk is actually Houses that make up the unique architecture of this city.

In fact, although you can see similar ones in other cities of Germany and Poland in general, the ones here are more characteristic.. Thin and long, crooked, colorful houses like pencils!

Famous Pencil Houses of Gdansk / I Found This Name If I Found It In The Sun From The Tip, A Selfie Immediately…

And to the bottom aren’t they built?

Sweetly narrowing the top floors…

I admit that I saw the aerial view of these house-filled streets and fell in love with Gdansk and I thought I should see it. . Yes, maybe I won’t be able to see it from the air, but I’ll still see it.

“The top floors, which narrow down sweetly…”

There Could Be A Modern Building Without Destroying The City!

But here it is one thing to visit and see another photo of it.. The photos did not have modern siblings of these typical Gdansk houses either!

Yes, as a civil engineer, I noticed the modern buildings in Gdansk from the very first minute. Because the modern structures here are “we are modern” They don’t smirk They went and built with a nice modern interpretation of architecture similar to their old brothers.

I can’t say I’m not impressed with this work, Gdansk can still be visited after 50 years…

Modern Gdansk Houses I Like Very Much, There Are Some More Futuristic As Well… These Also Provided a Nice Transition / Modern-Old

Is Crane One Of The Attractions In Gdansk?

Now by the riverside While walking on the promenade called “Deptak Nadwodny”, I see one of the first things that come to mind when I think of places to visit in Gdansk.

What is that Crane?

Interesting place in Gdansk Crane The River And The Crane Look Better Here

Yes “Crane” is one of the interesting structures in Gdansk. This used to be a crane building used to load ships. If I said old, of course.. century is quite old The original state is destroyed, but the current one is worth seeing.

There is the Black Pearl of the pirates of the caribbean a little further ahead, there are nice photos, try it here…

Black Pearl is also here <

Like the Harry Potter Scene: Mariacka Street!

I’m diving down the river into Mariacka Street now

Mariacka at first sight became my favorite place in this city!

I feel like I’m on the street where I’m going to choose a wand for Hogwarts. “Hagrid, where do we get the wand?”

Can it be without a photo Mariacka Street

In Gdansk, you can feel an interestingly slightly British air; mysterious buildings painted in a depressing style, staircases in front of houses small courtyards and magnificent artistic details…

These small courtyard houses on Mariacka Street are boutique shops! Local products, gifts or jewellery, whatever you are looking for. All meticulously furnished with excellent details, this place can be studied for a few hours.

Magnets Here from the Map Detailed Shops in Mariacka Are So Sweet

Across the river side of the street, the huge St.. Mary’s Church…

Undoubtedly, it is one of the most magnificent buildings in the city, you can go inside and have a look at it.. Mary’s Church Is Also Visible

The Rain Follows Me

Just at that moment I’m being caught in the rain!

If it rains, I have a solution; raincoat and my umbrella…

Now it’s time where the heart of Gdansk beats; Long Sunday!

Long Sunday With Shaking Rain

Long Sunday

Long Sunday ie Długi Targ is a classic Polish style market-square. I don’t know why these guys built such thin and long squares, but it happened

As the name suggests, this is a long market area. If I said market, it means small peddlers and generally the shops lined up along the square, better if I say square…

Long Market / Długi Targ

You can see the most beautiful of the typical cute pencil houses of Gdansk that I mentioned in the Long Market.. The ones here are a little more historical and have wonderful decorations.

Also, I think the most eye-catching structure of the square is Gdansk Town Hall.

Gdansk Town Hall with its golden inlaid tower and legendary beauty. The clock may be the most magnificent structure in this city!

The Long Market and the Magnificent Gdansk Town Hall

Gdansk, the City of Gates

My market is at one end of the street, the Golden Gate is at the riverside end there is also the Green Door…

I forgot to mention; Gdansk is the city of gates

You can often see these gates in the old city centre.. It is generally built like 2-3 storey private buildings and has arch-shaped openings from the inside and you enter and exit the square and the street from there.. Especially the Golden Gate is another beautiful one, don’t miss it…

I’ll be visiting soon The Golden Gate / The surprise is gone! The Sun Is Clearly Opening The Gates of Gdansk: This Green Gate by the River

Is it a Rainbow?

And these gates are rain shields for me! Because I’m stuck at the door leading to the river from Long Market, it’s raining heavily

But a few minutes later, “the sun?”

If there’s rain and sun, let the rainbow come !

My Rain Shield Behind the Green Door I Watch Gdansk with Rain and Sun; Delicious!

Things suddenly turn upside down in Gdansk, it’s sunny now

The weather in the city has really changed with the sun and rainbow. Those depressing houses have turned into bright spring colors, now It’s time to wander the streets and take photos a lot.

The Rainbow Has Arrived Can I Pass Such An Unforgettable Moment Without A Photograph? This Is The Back Side

Gdansk’s Islands

I set foot on one of Gdansk’s islands from the Green Bridge in front of the Green Gate. I say island, but it is a part of the city I say so only because rivers run on both sides.

This is also a very touristic area, but it is under construction for now, that catches my attention the most. lots of mobile sweet sellers I see around. Poland’s sugary pastry desserts are in vain, definitely try it!

Here’s the Island for You Just Kidding The River Divides A Wonderful Street I Discovered, Find It “Poland’s Candy Sweets pastry desserts of all kinds”

“The cafes of this city are very nice”

I want to have a snack and rest now. Şso that I can have a little view so that I can both fill my stomach and watch the city

Eat a great boutique pancake shop called “Pan Kejk” on the Long Market I came. There is everything to eat and drink here, and you won’t believe the prices. I got a great sandwich, salad and unlimited coffee for only 15-20 zloty.

I Need to Have a Rest and Eat Something / “Pakejk” Gdansk

Time to enjoy sunny Gdansk. I pass the Golden Gate at the upper end of the Long Market and open to the modern part of the city.

There is a triumphal arch-like gate and another historical building behind the Golden Gate.. You have now reached the wide streets of Gdansk here.

Gdansk Became Another Beautiful When The Sun Comes Out The Golden Gate I Just Mentioned Gdansk Houses Also Shine Differently!

A Little Out of the City, The Environment Is Different

There is a huge modern shopping mall right across the street. It is also possible to see socialist-style buildings when you go to a little bit further in the city. Gdansk dates back to different historical periods. It is a city that has witnessed it too.

I am now finishing my sightseeing in Gdansk.. You might think that this city is an atmospheric place anyway, and all its streets and avenues are special in general, so I say go everywhere
