Sep 18, 2018 | Czeck Republic, Europe, Prague
According to Google Maps, Charles bridge was half an hour way from my hotel by foot… I took two hours to get there! Let me explain: the time available to visit the city was not much. I left the hotel around 10 a.m., after having arrived the night before well past...
Sep 10, 2018 | Amsterdam, Europe, Netherlands
As promised, another post about our short visit to the city of Amsterdam, this one focused on the cruise boat through the canals we decided to take! We paid €16 per person, directly at Damrak pier, but later we saw the same tour for €13 per person, in agencies. The...
Aug 30, 2018 | Amsterdam, Europe, Netherlands
The Netherlands was considered by me a country visited in my “countings”, but what I considered to have already visited was, when in 2007 with the Comenius project I made a stopover in the capital on the way to Hamburg, taking the train from the airport to the center,...

TAP layovers are divided into nightstop – half a day – or a stay – a full day or more. On a nightstop, as we don’t have much time, we have to choose carefully what we want to do, which also helps me here in the blog to present you the cities by themes or...
Aug 13, 2018 | Europe, Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon, 40 degrees. After months of a supposedly summer without actual summer temperatures, St. Peter decided to overcompensate … several days where the only possible way to survive would be either in front of a fan or inside water. The weekend came and this meant...
Aug 10, 2018 | Europe, London, United Kingdom
This short visit to London began in a rush! We landed at Heathrow airport at 12:45 p.m. and between the disembarkation of passengers and crew, taking the transport to the hotel, which is not too far, we were checking-in at the Holiday Inn at 1:25 p.m. The hotel has...
Jul 23, 2018 | Copenhagen, Denmark, Europe
The colorful Copenhagen was my request for July! I had already visited the Danish capital on a day of November in 2012 but Scandinavia is quite different in winter and if I had already liked it, I knew that this time, with sun and blue skies, I would like it even...
Jul 16, 2018 | Europe, France, Paris
Almost every museum in Paris is free for citizens of the European Union until the age of 26 and in the month I’m turning 26 – this July – I had a nightstop in Paris. The time wasn’t much so I decided to go to the Louvre, the museum in Paris where I passed the least...
Jul 11, 2018 | Europe, Geneva, Switzerland
Geneva, Switzerland. A place that does not pop in our heads as a priority to visit. One of the advantages of being at TAP is precisely visiting some places where you never thought about visiting and Geneva was a very pleasant surprise! It is true that in Portugal this...
Jul 6, 2018 | Europe, Stockholm, Sweden
Arlanda Airport is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever landed. The Stockholm archipelago against light with the already high sun of 5am Scandinavian summer make a wonderful landscape! After an overnight flight there was the dilemma of how much time to rest...
Jun 27, 2018 | Europe, Lisbon, Portugal
Sintra is one of the places where I go when I have visitors, since it is easy to get to Lisbon from my house, but not as simple to go to Sintra, and if I only have one day or two to be with them, that’s where I usually drive them. We usually take the traditional walk...
Jun 19, 2018 | Europe, Frankfurt, Germany
It took a little over a month to get a flight to Germany! As you may know, it is my second country, my second home, and I was very happy to go to Frankfurt, not only because I did not know the city, but also because one of my best friends is living there! Before...
