Budapest

(in Hungary)

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

Go to the Rudas baths – if you’re a woman, that’s only possible a day or two a week, but it’s worth making the effort to find out when you can go. It’s a much more traditional experience than the more touristy baths in the city park, and the building is beautiful.


Bratislava

Worth visiting!

A review of this place

Worth visiting, but for two days max. Going to Devin Castle is a brilliant way to spend the day though.


Changi Airport

Why I want to go to this place

It has won Best Airport ten years in a row on sleepinginairports.com and I think it’s got to be great.

“There really is no reason to leave Club Changi”, says sleepinginairports

Josh says, “Even if you have the cash to spring on a hotel room in Singapore, I would recommend a night in the airport.”

Isn't that great?

Yakutsk

Why I want to go to this place

Ever since I played Risk as a child, Yakutsk, Irkutsk and Kamchatka have fascinated me


Anchorage

Why I want to go to this place

... and then I’ll drive all the way to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America- apparently it can be done well in twenty nine weeks.


Liverpool

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

Tha cathedral is absolutely breathtaking – try and go to an Evensong if you can, because the singing is fantastic. The day I went, they had a 30 year old male soprano who broke my heart, he sounded so great.


Berlin

(in Germany)

Not worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

The Twelve Apostles Restaurant in east Berlin near Museum Insel is the most amazing place. It’s housed under a railway bridge and the streets surrounding it are overlooked by the Pergamon Gallery, which can be an eerie experience at night. Each of their pizzas is named after one of the apostles and the staff are friendly and kind to impoverished students who want one pizza to share and tap water.
I came across it by chance when I was there but here’s the website:

Edinburgh

Worth visiting!

It rained all day...

but I still loved it.
