As you know, I always try to book a hotel with a view. In Manhattan, that was a must for me. Immense gratitude to the Residence Inn New York Manhattan/Central Park that gave us a corner room with which we could not only view Times Square but could also capture this photo of the so-called Billionaires’ Row.

The “Internet City” is something of a town-district in Dubai. It is here that some 1,600 companies have their offices in a rather small space. They are mainly technology companies, and some of them are on the Fortune 500 list. Dubai Internet City office buildings opened their doors to these corporations in 2000. To […]

These skyscrapers just in front of Central Park in New York are some of the most exclusive apartment buildings in the world. Because they are located almost on one street, this part of Manhattan is called “Billionaires’ Row“. Nico captured this view of Central Park and Billioners’ Row, thanks to the courtesy of the Residence […]

Burj Khalifa (formerly known as Burj Dubai) in Downtown Dubai is the tallest building in the world. Including the antenna, this skyscraper measures 829.8 meters. The number of exciting facts and controversies associated with the Burj Khalifa is rich. Let’s look at a few of them. The first name of this skyscraper, when work […]

We discovered this view of the Burj Khalifa by accident while walking around Downtown Dubai. We were lured to this corner by the many restaurants with offbeat recommendations and the appearance of buildings taken out of an Arabian fairy tale. Downtown Dubai was built by the same developer as the Burj Khalifa – EMAAR. […]

Sforza’s Castle in Milan in Italy, is one of the city’s focal points. Despite this, it is often overlooked in photographs depicting this northern Italian city. Sforza’s castle is just a stone’s throw from Piazza il Duomo, so it is worth planning a visit to this medieval castlllle. Sforza Castle stands on the site […]

Františkovy Lázně is a SPA-town in North Bohemia not far from Karlovy Vary. We have been there more than once – after all, Nico’s family originates from this area on his grandmother’s side. She was born in the region and lived there until she needed to move at the end of World War II. […]

Do you recognize this view of Verona (Italy) from St Peter’s Castle? Apart from being one of the most popular shots of the city of Verona with the Adige river, Nico has already published a similar photo. You can see the effect of the previous photo of Verona here. What do you think of […]

Many ask “where is the best place to see a laser show in Singapore?”. We found one solution to this: rent an Airbnb overlooking Marina Bay and drive up to the top viewing floor of the skyscraper, just when it starts to get dark. This photo of the spectacle of lasers in Singapore was […]

St Vitus Cathedral in Prague is the largest church in the whole of the Czech Republic. Capturing it in a single photograph is therefore not a trivial task. Most popular photographs of Prague only show part of the cathedral together with Hradcany Castle. Nico was only able to take this picture a few years after […]

When Dubai Marina opened, it was the world’s first man-made marina of this size. Not in “one day Rome was built” as they say. This is also how the Marina was built in phases. In 2018, the entire marina complex was inhabited by around 55,000 people. The target for the Marina expansion, however, is […]

This Amphitheatre in the cultural village of Katara (Doha) is an architectural cultural blend. The Katara Amphitheatre was built on the model of a Greek theatre. However, this is not where the imagination of the creator ended. If you look at some of the elements of the theatre you will notice references to the traditional […]

Florence’s Ponte Vecchio or “Old Bridge” was probably one of the first bridges spanning the Arno River. Its history is therefore not straightforward. It was destroyed in 1345 and rebuilt anew. During the Second World War it was the only bridge over the Arno River in the area that was not demolished by the fleeing […]

The 25 April Revolution Monument by João Cutileiro commemorates the day of the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which ended years of dictatorship in Portugal. The revolution ushered in significant economic, demographic, social, and territorial changes in Portugal and its overseas colonies. The dictatorship was abolished in favor of democracy and, as a result, also brought political […]

That “spiral” tower in the photo is the “Fanar” mosque, which is part of the Al-Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre in Doha. It is probably one of the most distinctive buildings in the Qatari capital, but the mosque is not the whole complex… Al-Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre is the older name for this cultural centre. […]

Qanat Quartier is Doha‘s recently built neighborhood in ‘The Pearl’. And if it weren’t for the view of Lusail (with distinctive magnet-like Katara towers), it would feel like we had moved from desert Qatar to Venice. We have to admit that the Qanat Quartier at “The Pearl” confused us a bit. A few minutes […]

We visited Aspire Zone in Doha to see the Khalifa National Stadium and the famous Villagio Mall with its Venetian canals. However, the first sight when we went out of the metro station that positively surprised us was the view of the Aspire Tower. Aspire Tower, also known as The Torch Doha, is a […]

“Porto Arabia” is one of the attractions at “The Pearl” that should not get lost on your list of places to visit in Doha. The very fact that the entire district of “The Pearl” is man-made (this peninsula did not exist on the map before), deserves attention and a visit. The entire “The Pearl Qatar” […]

If you visit Doha, there’s no chance you won’t see the new West Bay city center. Keep in mind, however, that the “real Qatar” is not just modern skyscrapers, but also traditional parts of the city like Souq Waqif – the classic Arabian shopping market. There you are sure to refresh your negotiating skills. […]

Qatar and Doha are unique examples of such rapidly developing countries. Can you imagine, for example, that only 30 years ago these skyscrapers did not exist? This part of Doha (the west coast) was pure desert. Here, where we think the city existed there was always just a village where the inhabitants specialized in pearl […]

The countdown has already started! The FIFA World Cup will take place in Qatar this year. It will be the first FIFA championship in an Arab country. Also for the first time, the final will take place in late autumn and not in summer as was the case so far. The World Cup in […]

The Doha Heritage Village is a place that manages to amaze one with its contrasts. On the one hand, “Katara” is designed to resemble a traditional Qatari merchant village. On the other hand, the entire complex has only been in existence since 2010 and is home to modern art and galleries such as French Galeria […]

Coimbra was the capital of Portugal from 1131 to 1255. However, it is not the castle or church that towers over the entire city, as is often the case with medieval cities. The central building of Coimbra is the University and this says a lot about the character of this city. With the move […]

Looking at this photo of Paris do you recognize any neighborhoods? No, we did not get to visit the French capital. This photo was taken from a plane when we flew from Berlin to Lisbon in 2021. But who knows? Maybe in 2022 we will be able to visit Paris? Nico’s dream is […]
