When visiting Madeira, you’ll do well to rent a car. This island is small enough that you can explore with ease, but large enough that having your own set of wheels is necessary.
As with most guides, we’re here to warn you, however, that the roads on Madeira can be quite steep (we’re not kidding). But we were pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to drive around, and wanted to share some tips and advice for driving in Madeira we had after our visit!
Madeira had been a bucket list destination for us for many years, thanks to the island being home to some world-class hikes, stellar wine, and incredible views everywhere you look.
When we finally made the trip happen, we gave ourselves as much time as possible to try and do everything the island could throw at us. Even with eight nights on the island (about seven full days), we still felt like we were just getting started.
So in this one, we thought we’d discuss how many days you need on Madeira, and give some tips and advice based on your interests in visiting. Suffice it to say, more time is always better than less- for several reasons.
Every time we visit Paris, we always make a point of spending some time at the Louvre. It is one of the best museums in the world, and no matter how many times we visit, we always find something new, whether it is a piece of art, a floor we missed, or sometimes even an entire wing we overlooked.
But the Louvre is also somewhat infuriating.
As the most visited museum in the world (and also the largest!), with a capacity of up to 30,000 visitors per day, you can certainly feel it here- and not just at the Mona Lisa. From lines at the art to crowds in the galleries, and even lines to get in the door despite holding timed-entry tickets, saying the Louvre is very, very busy is an understatement.
By the end of every visit, you’re going to be tired of people just as much as being overloaded from seeing world-class art. The latter is a good thing. The former, not so much.
So in this one, we thought we’d share some thoughts to help get the most out of your visit to the Louvre despite some of the challenges!
On a day trip from Copenhagen to Malmö, Sweden, one museum caught our eye for its name alone. This was none other than the Disgusting Food Museum, and you can imagine why that name demanded our attention.
We knew immediately we had to go check it out.
I’ll be the first to admit that I really thought this one was going to be a disappointing tourist trap. But after visiting, I have to say, this one was quite interesting and incredibly well done for its modest size.
So head to this one, preferably on an empty stomach, and be prepared to check out weird, gross, and, true to its name, disgusting food!
