Heidelberg had been in the back of my mind for yea Heidelberg had been in the back of my mind for years…I remember seeing a photo of the city in 2019, its castle overlooking the Old Town, the river and hordes of beautiful historic buildings, and immediately thinking, “I need to go there one day.” Little did I know that around seven years later, I’d finally visit with the very handy recommendations of a friend who’s lived and built a family in Heidelberg for years. From wandering through the Old Town and taking in the views from Heidelberg Castle to visiting neighbourhood farmers’ markets, strolls up to impossibly perfect castle views and stopping at some truly lovely local cafés, there’s so much to get up to here. Comment HALLO and I’ll send you my full Heidelberg guide, including: ✨ My complete three-day Heidelberg itinerary ✨ My favourite cafés, restaurants and local food spots ✨ How to get to Heidelberg from Frankfurt Airport ✨ The best viewpoints, walks and historic sights ✨ Extra museums and nearby day-trip ideas & everything you need to plan your own trip!

A week back from my trip to Heidelberg (and my sev A week back from my trip to Heidelberg (and my seventh or so trip to Germany) and I’m reminiscing on all the little bits I love about the country, including…how they handle bottles! Here’s how it works: ♻️ When you buy many bottled or canned drinks, you pay a small deposit called Pfand. ♻️ Once you’ve finished your drink, you keep the bottle or can rather than throwing it away ♻️ Then you take the bottle-return machine at the grocery store, pop it inside and receive a voucher. ♻️ The voucher can be used towards your shopping or exchanged at the till. You’ll also sometimes see people leave bottles neatly beside bins instead of throwing them inside, so someone else can collect and return them, so a small way for people to earn a little extra money too. Personally, I think it’s such a clever system, and one of my favourite things about travelling: noticing the small everyday quirks that make you think differently about how things are done back home. P.S. - My Heidelberg itinerary is coming out tomorrow too, so keep an eye out for that 🇩🇪 What’s a small thing you love about where you live or somewhere you’ve travelled? This is one of my top ones!

I’d book the London in One Day Tour on Klook to spend your day watching the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, going inside St Paul’s Cathedral, exploring the Tower of London and seeing the Crown Jewels—before finishing with a cruise along the Thames🚤 vs. spending hours on the planning & logistics… It’s a full day across London (so bring comfortable shoes and a portable charger), but such a fun way to see the city easily—with your tour sent straight to your phone too 🤳🏽 Plus, you can save up to 40% on selected tours and attractions across Europe with Klook this summer.

#Ad @lner x @visitabdn Let’s go on a weekend in #Ad @lner x @visitabdn Let’s go on a weekend in Aberdeen from London 🚄📌 SAVE for later! If you’re looking for a Scottish city break, it’s time to put Aberdeen on your list. A city that completely won me over, filled with centuries of history, set right on the charming North Sea, and full of local character. And the best part? You can get there nice and easy on an @lner train from King’s Cross to Aberdeen. A gorgeous train journey just over seven hours—with heaps of coastal views, countryside, city stops and plenty of time to read, work or simply stare out onto picturesque Scotland. 🏨 Where we stayed: @leonardohotelsukire, right beside Aberdeen station — ideal if you want somewhere easy, central and comfortable after the journey, with dinner, cocktails and breakfast. A few Aberdeen bits I loved: 🏛️ Old Aberdeen for history, university streets and St Machar’s Cathedral 🌿 Duthie Park’s David Welch Winter Gardens (one of Europe’s biggest winter gardens) 🌊 Aberdeen Beach and Footdee for the city’s beautiful coastal side 🦞 @thesilverdarlingrestaurant for an unreal Scottish seafood lunch by the harbour 🍸 @thetipplinghouse for independent cocktails 🎨 Art Gallery Café @castl.egallery for local art and coffee 🖼️ @abdnartmuseums for a free city-centre gallery stop 🎻 @tunnelsaberdeen for live music (this time we caught vibey fiddle band @astrobloc at the @northatlanticfiddleconvention) Before heading back on an LNER train 🚄 Would you do a weekend in Aberdeen?

East London was where my London life first began, East London was where my London life first began, so coming back always gives me a little wave of nostalgia for the younger (and potentially much cooler) version of me who lived here. If you end up East on a summer day, here’s how to spend it! 🚤 Hackney Wick — start with a waterside walk and stop at Barge East for a drink 🌿 Victoria Park — cross through the park and catch the Sunday food market if you can (otherwise walk a bit to the always on…) 📚 Broadway Market — browse the independent shops and bookshops, I really love the coffee from Climpson & Sons Café and The Broadway Bookshop here 🍛 Brick Lane — finish with curry and take your time choosing your winner… Fun fact: Because Brick Lane has its own little pre-dinner game: restaurants will start competing for your attention as you walk past. Hold out and the offers may move from 10% off to 20% off or even a free mango lassi…Hear them out, inspect the menus, then make your decision. Aladin was the winner for this night! Practical Bits: 🚇 You can Start at Hackney Wick and head home from Shoreditch High Street or Aldgate East. 📌 SAVE this for your East London day out! And let me know, when’s the last time you had a day out in East?

How to do a holiday to Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Writing you straight from Aberdeen and reminiscing on all my Scotland trips since moving to the UK a frighteningly quick 10 years ago. (Hack: if you need to escape London’s heatwaves, just go to Scotland.) If Aberdeen’s the Granite City, then Glasgow’s the cool one. Here’s some bits to get up to: P.S. — Comment GUIDE for my full Glasgow travel guide, including the hotel we stayed at, the best things to do for a weekend itinerary or a one-day itinerary if you’re short on time x ✨ Things to Do: 🎓 Wander around the University of Glasgow + gawk at Gothic architecture 🖼️ Visit the free Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum 🌿 Explore Glasgow Botanic Gardens and Kibble Palace ⛪ Visit Glasgow Cathedral and walk up through Glasgow Necropolis for the views 🎨 Wander Merchant City and follow Glasgow’s Mural Trail 🛍️ Browse the vintage stalls, local food and antiques at Barras Market 🎶 See what’s on at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut 🍴 Where to Eat & Drink: 🥃 Try haggis, neeps and tatties at The Piper Whisky Bar ☕ Stop for coffee or brunch at Wilson Street Pantry 🍕 Grab Napoli-style pizza at Nonna Said near Barras Market 🍺 Have a mini brewery crawl between Tennent’s and Drygate 🍛 Finish with dinner at Dishoom Glasgow—the Lamb Chettinad is glorious 📍My favourite pick: Seeing live music at King Tut’s, where Oasis were famously discovered and signed!

Ad Work trip to London coming up? 📌 SAVE this f Ad Work trip to London coming up? 📌 SAVE this for some Londoning to do between meetings 🇬🇧 Spent the day with @getnavan Business Travel Show Europe, learning more about how its super simple AI-powered platform brings travel booking and expenses together all in one place. The booking vault (where you could win a fabulous suitcase and at another, a trip to Paris!) and minibar activations were a fun way to see the platform brought to life—but the biggest takeaway for me was how much easier business travel could feel when everything isn’t spread across different systems, especially as someone who travels for work all the time. Once the work part is finished, you can take up some of my London picks, like: 📍 Horizon 22 for free skyline views 📍 Duck & Waffle for lush afternoon tea 📍 La Plage du Pont for rooftop drinks by Tower Bridge Do you have a London work trip coming up? Let me know in the comments, and be sure to check out @getnavan before you do. ✈️ Happy travels, Candace x — #happylondoning #happytravels #worktriplondon #businesstravelshoweurope

We got incredibly lucky with Centre Court tickets through the Public Ballot, brought our own picnic, wandered the grounds, watched some incredible tennis and of course, had plenty of Pimm’s and strawberries and cream… My full guide includes bits like: 🎟️ Every main way to get Wimbledon tickets ⛺ How The Queue works and whether it’s worth it 📱 What to download and bring with you 🧺 Picnic bits I’d pack & alcohol rules 👗 What to wear for Wimbledon 🚇 The best stations and how to get there 🎾 What to do once you’re inside the grounds 🏨 Where to stay nearby if you’re visiting London Comment TENNIS and I’ll send the full guide straight to your DMs. And SAVE this if Wimbledon’s on your London list this summer. 📌 Have you been to Wimbledon before—or is this year your first time?

Comment ROYAL, and I’ll send you my full Windsor Comment ROYAL, and I’ll send you my full Windsor Castle guide—including how to get there from London, ticket advice, what to see inside, how long to spend and what else to do while you’re in Windsor. 🏰 I’ve visited plenty of castles since moving to England, but there’s something quite surreal about walking through one that’s nearly 1,000 years old and still used as a working royal residence today. Inside you’ll find the State Apartments, Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House and St George’s Chapel, where Queen Elizabeth II, Henry VIII and several other monarchs are buried. And because the castle is still used for State Visits, royal ceremonies and official events, it’s definitely somewhere to plan to visit vs. just rocking up! P.S. — I was graciously invited by the @royalcollectiontrust , which is why I was allowed to capture the interior clips you see in this video. Photography and filming aren’t normally permitted inside Windsor Castle. Would you add Windsor Castle to your England trip? Comment ROYAL for my full guide and SAVE this for later. 📌 Happy travels, Candace x — Windsor Castle, Windsor Castle Tips, Windsor Day Trip, Day Trips from London, England Travel, Royal Attractions, UK Castles #windsorcastle #windsor #daytripsfromlondon #uktravel #englandtravel
Underrated places in Europe I’ve loved recently Underrated places in Europe I’ve loved recently (because it’s not all about Paris and Santorini!)—with a few of my favourite things to do in each 📌 🇪🇸 GIJÓN, NORTHERN SPAIN Tucked in Northern Spain Gijón is a coastal city in Asturias, and such a good one if you want a totally different side of Spain from the usual Barcelona/Madrid/Andalusia route. Think city beaches, colourful old fishing-quarter streets, Roman ruins, Asturian cider culture and some of the freshest seafood I’ve had in Spain. My favourite things to do: 🌊 Walk along Playa de San Lorenzo 🏘️ Wander through Cimavilla, the old fishing quarter 🍽️ Go for dinner and cider at Tierra Astur 🌿 Head up to Cerro de Santa Catalina for views or Laboral City of Culture in Gijón for history 🦞 Have a seafood lunch if you can—Los Pisones was incredible 🇲🇹 MALTA Malta is a tiny island country in the Mediterranean between Sicily and North Africa, with layers of history from the Knights of St John to British rule, it’s so much more than just a beach trip. My favourite things to do: 👩🏽‍🍳 Take a Maltese cooking class with Pippa Mattei 🍷 Go wine tasting at Meridiana Wine Estate 🌅 Have dinner with Valletta views 🛥️ Take a boat trip to St Peter’s Pool 🏛️ Leave time for Valletta—it’s far too good to rush 🇬🇷 AEGINA, GREECE One of the Saronic Islands, just a ferry ride from Athens, and perfect if you want a short Greek island escape, with ancient ruins, a sweet little port town, seaside restaurants and glorious My favourite things to do: 🏘️ Wander Aegina Town 🏛️ Visit the Temple of Aphaia 🥜 Try all things pistachio 🍽️ Stay for a lush seafood lunch at AMMOS in the port town if you have time So, which would go for…a weekend in Northern Spain, cooking classes and a winery break in Malta or a sunny Greek island day trip? 📌 SAVE this for your next Europe trip!
