10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide
Join us from Cardiff, Wales as we cover 10 things to do in Cardiff city including popular attractions, cool castes, green escapes, and Welsh food worth trying in this travel guide. Although we were sick for most of our visit to Cardiff, UK we ended up still finding enough time to visit the city center, our neighborhood and a few off-the-beaten path attractions.
What we loved most about Cardiff, Wales is just how friendly the locals here are in the supermarkets, restaurants, pubs and cafe that we frequented. On a rainy day we might put on the kettle, down a few Welsh cakes and pop open our umbrella for a wee stroll. When it was sunny, which fortunately for us was most of the time, we enjoyed exploring castles and arcades while wandering around in parks.
Cardiff is a city you appreciate the more you linger. You start to find favorite cafes, restaurants and pubs you return to frequently and after a while you feel more like a local after recognizing faces in and around your neighborhood. This is what we'll remember most and why we recommend visiting Cardiff which is a city with more of a town vibe.

10 Things to do in Cardiff, Wales Travel Guide Video Script:
Well hello hello from Cardiff, Wales. New destination for us. New destination. It is our very first time to Wales and we're so excited to be here. We've wanted to come to Wales for a really long time and we're going to explore Cardiff and show you guys what you can do here in this travel guide.
We started our visit of Cardiff Castle with a self-guided tour of the Castle Apartments. This is the newest-looking part of the castle as it was renovated in the early 19th century in the Gothic revival style. As part of the tour we got to see the Banqueting Hall, the Library, and a few different rooms, but the place that really caught our attention was the Arab room designed in a Moorish style which is quite different from the rest of the rooms.
We continued on to the Norman Keep, which dates to the 11th century. The 12-sided structure sits atop a hill and is surrounded by a moat, and if you climb to the very top you get some nice 360 degree views of the city.
And lastly, we visited the roman walls, and although these too have been renovated, the foundations date back to 50 AD.
And that’s it for our visit to Cardiff, Wales. Our trip was short and sweet but we hope this video gave you a few ideas of things to do in Cardiff on your own visit. Now you know the drill, if you have any other suggestions of cool things to do in and around Cardiff, feel free to share those with fellow travellers in the comments below. Wishing you happy travels!

Lake Bled Travel Guide | Day Trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia
Join us as we visit Lake Bled in this travel guide as a day trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia where we cover the top things to do in Lake Bled including visiting the castle by foot and island by boat trip. Just slightly over an hour by bus and roughly 45 minutes by car Lake Bled is easily accessible from Ljubljana.
With most attractions clustered around the lake a perfect way to spend a day visiting Lake Bled is to walk around the lake, visit Bled Castle, eat local cake and have a leisurely lunch along with taking a boat trip out to the island. All of this can be done in a day allowing you to return to Ljubljana in the early evening.
Let's find out what makes Lake Bled one of the most popular day trips for visitors traveling in Slovenia.
Lake Bled in other languages:
Slovenian: blejsko jezero - blejski grad - blejski otok
German: bleder see - veldeser see - burg veldes

Lake Bled Travel Guide | Day Trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia Video Transcript:
Lake Bled is probably the most popular day trip you can take from Ljubljana. This is a lake that sits on the Julian Alps, and in the middle of the lake you have a small island with a church - it’s about as picturesque as it gets and it draws massive crowds, but first, the journey there.
Bled Castle is a medieval castle that was built on a cliff rising 130 meters over Lake Bled. According to written sources, this is the oldest castle in Slovenia, first being mentioned in a document from the year 1011. The castle is set up around two courtyards which are connected with a staircase. Once you’re there, you can visit the chapel, check out some of the exhibits, watch a demonstration at the castle forge, or eat at the castle coffee shop or restaurant.
After the castle visit, we hiked back down and started our walk along Lake Bled because we were still feeling pretty stuffed from lunch. Little did we know this would take us several hours to complete.
After eating our slice of Bled Cream Cake, or Kremsnita, it was finally time to arrange a boat ride to Bled Island. While you can rent your own row boat to take out on the island, we chose to pay the 14 Euros per person to have someone else do the hard work. However, if you’re with a group of friends or travelling with family, it’s definitely cheaper to just rent a boat and row it yourself.
Bled Island is very small and it got pretty crowded even though it was low season. Forty minutes turned out to be plenty of time to climb up, have a look around, and enjoy some ice cream.
Now one last piece of advice: we visited in the off-season and at the end of the day, we found out there were not enough buses to transport everyone from Lake Bled back to Ljubljana.
We weren’t able to get on one bus because it was full, so we waited an hour and a half for the next one. By then, more day-trippers like us had gathered, and once again, not everyone could get on the bus, leaving a lot of people stranded, having to find a taxi or other alternative.
There was a lot of pushing and shoving, and many visitors with prepaid tickets were visibly upset.
Because our bus was full, this also meant that even though there were several scheduled stops on the way back to Ljubljana, we couldn’t pick up any passengers along the way, many of them who had been waiting for hours.
Lake Bled has experienced a boom in tourism, but the infrastructure to transport people hasn’t quite caught up yet. After a nice day visiting Bled, getting out of there proved to be very chaotic and stressful. Hopefully things will change in the future, but until then, know that leaving at the end can be tricky.

Our visit Zagreb travel guide documentary covers some of the top attractions including a food guide (Croatian), top sightseeing tourist attractions and the city by day including visiting churches, parks, the old town, quirky neighborhoods, museums and a hockey game. We also cover off-the-beaten-path outdoor activities you won't find in a typical Zagreb tourism brochure, Zagreb itinerary or Zagreb, Croatia city tour also known as Zagreb, Hrvatska.
10 Things to do in Zagreb, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Our travels in Croatia brought us to Zagreb known for its lively street markets, vast green spaces, and varied architecture that spans numerous movements, we reached the capital and hit the ground running. In this video we’re going to show you some fun things to do in Zagreb, as well as share our favourite place for sampling the most delicious truffle dishes:
From the main square you have the Flower Market, and if you head up the steps, that leads to Zagreb’s Central Market.
Zagreb Cathedral is one the city’s main landmarks. This is the largest sacral building in the Gothic style southeast of the Alps, and it’s pretty easy to spot the spires wherever you are in the city.
Our walk through the Upper Town eventually lead us to Tkalčićeva. These days you’ll find a lively street lined with restaurants, cafes and bars.
We reached what may be the most memorable museum in the whole world: The Museum of Broken Relationships. The museum is a global crowd-sourced project that deals with heartbreak. Inside you’ll find curious objects with a corresponding story.
St. Mark’s Church bears the medieval coat of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left-hand side, and the emblem of Zagreb on the right.
To enjoy city views of the Lower Town there are some great vantage points along the promenade.
On our way down from the Upper Town, we walked through Zagreb’s famed Stone Gate. Once the eastern gate into the medieval settlement now houses a small chapel.
Let’s take a break from all the sightseeing to introduce you to one of our favourite restaurants in Zagreb when it comes to truffle dishes
And craving more views of the city, we then went up Zagreb 360.
Known as the Green Horseshoe, this park was named after Milan Lenuci who came up with the idea of creating connected green spaces right in the downtown. The horseshoe is home to several museums, galleries and archives.
If you’re into hockey and you visit Zagreb during the season, you can catch a game in the city. We watched Medveščak Zagreb play.
And that’s it for our visit to Zagreb! We hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that you got a few ideas of things to see, eat and do on your own visit.

Slovenija-Maribor-Celje 2016.
Maribor (njem.: Marburg an der Drau) je grad u Republici Sloveniji, s otprilike 113.000 stanovnika, što ga čini drugim po veličini gradom u državi. Leži na rijeci Dravi.
Upravna podjela
Naseljeno mjesto Maribor ima 12 četvrti, a to su: Koroška Vrata, Center, Ivan Cankar, Studenci, Magdalena, Melje, Tabor, Nova Vas, Tezno, Pobrežje, Brezje-Dogoše-Zrkovci, Radvanje.
Gradska općina Maribor osim naseljenog mjesta Maribor obuhvaća i slijedeća naselja: Bresternica, Celestrina, Dogoše, Gaj nad Mariborom, Grušova, Hrastje, Hrenca, Jelovec, Kamnica, Košaki, Laznica, Limbuš, Malečnik, Maribor, Meljski hrib, Metava, Nebova, Pekel, Pekre, Počehova, Razvanje, Ribniško selo, Rošpoh - del, Ruperče, Srednje, Šober, Trčova, Vinarje, Vodole, Vrhov dol, Za Kalvarijo, Zgornji slemen, Zrkovci
Zemljopis
Maribor je smješten na 269,5 m nadmorske visine, 15° 39' 12 geografske dužine i 46° 33' 39 geografske širine. Predstavlja regionalno središte pokrajine Štajerske, koja se zapravo većim dijelom prostire u susjednoj državi Austriji. Grad leži na obe obale rijeke Drave, na mjestu gdje se sastaju planinski masiv Pohorje, Dravsko polje, planina Kozjak te Slovenske gorice. Najbliži veći grad je austrijski Graz, oko 60 km sjeverno od Maribora.
Povijest
Glavni trg u centru grada sa spomenikom žrtvama kuge
Na području Maribora otkriveni su tragovi ljudskih naselja od paleolitika i ostaci rimskih naselja. Srednjovjekovni Maribor razvio se iz agrarnog naselja na Dravi u upravno središte zemaljskih knezova, kojima je Maribor stalno središte sve do kraja 12. stoljeća. Maribor je od 1147 - 1192. došao u posjed štajerskih grofova Traungau iz Steyra (bivši Styraburg), a zatim austrijskih Babenbergovaca (Babenberg) od 1192. pa do svog izumiranja 1246. Maribor je bio austro-ugarska utvrda, a nakon raspada te monarhije, u sastavu je Države Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca - poslije Kraljevine Jugoslavije. Za njemačke okupacije 1941.-1945. odbjeglo je 10.000 ljudi.Poslije oslobođenja Maribor se naglo razvija i postaje jedan od važnih industrijskih centara u Jugoslaviji. Nakon otcjepljenja Slovenije od ostatka Jugoslavije 1991. godine, iznenadni gubitak jugoslavenskog tržišta zadao je veliki udarac razvoju grada, budući da se nezaposlenost povećala na gotovo 25%. Ipak, situacija se postepeno popravlja zahvaljujući pokretanju malih i srednjih tvrtki. Godine 2007. ukinuta je granična kontrola između Austrije i Slovenije pa je tako i granični prijelaz Šentilj nedaleko od Maribora postao dio povijesti.
Celje
Celje (mađarski Cille, njemački Cilli) je ime grada kao i jedne od 11 gradskih općina u Sloveniji. Područje gradske općine na sjeveru graniči s općinom Vojnik, na istoku s općinom Šentjur, na jugozapadu s općinom Štore, jugu sa Laškim i na zapadu sa općinom Žalec. Srednja nadmorska visina grada je 238 m.
Zemljopis
Grad Celje leži na rijeci Savinji u jugoistočnom dijelu Celjske doline - 70 km sjeveroistočno od glavnog grada Slovenije, Ljubljane, i važno je prometno raskrižje između Ljubljane na zapadu, Maribora na sjeveru, Zidanog Mosta na jugu, Velenja i Slovenj Gradeca na sjeverozapadu kao i Rogaške Slatine na istoku. Celje je i gospodarsko središte tog područja.
Povijest
U vrijeme Kelta mjesto se zvalo Keleja, što je na keltskom značilo sklonište.
U 1. stoljeću pr. Kr. naselje dolazi pod utjecaj Rimljana koji mu mijenjaju ime u Celeia, a u vrijeme vladavine rimskog cara Klaudija (vladao od 41. do 54.) dobija gradska prava pod imenom municipium Claudia Celeia. Antička Celeja je, prema sačuvanim zapisima, bila bogato i gusto naseljeno mjesto zaštićeno obrambenim zidinama i kulama, puna palača s više katova, širokim trgovima i ulicama.
U vrijeme velikih seoba grad je bio srušen, da bi ga obnovili u ranom srednjem vijeku. Pod imenom Cylie (Celje) se prvi put spominje u admontovom ljetopisu napisanom između 1122. i 1137. godine. U gradu je bilo i sjedište grofova Celjskih koji su po njemu i dobili ime.
