✨ Early bird gets the views! 🤩 ... It’s r ✨ Early bird gets the views! 🤩 ... It’s rumored that Germany’s iconic Neuschwanstein Castle was Walt Disney’s inspiration for Cinderella’s castle in Disneyland - and I can see why! 🏰 😍 ... Just below the castle is the Marienbrücke (Mary’s Bridge). It’s an incredibly popular site to grab postcard-perfect views of Neuschwanstein Castle but it’s usually swarming with people! There’s typically a queue to even set foot on the bridge. But on this morning in late August - I had it all to myself - for a whole 10 min! 😲 ... 👉Here’s how I made it happen: 1️⃣ Stay overnight nearby! This is key. We stayed at the beautiful Hotel Villa Ludwig @hotelvillaludwig in Schwangau at the base of the mountains. 2️⃣ Get up early! The buses and horse drawn carriages start running up the mountain to the castle & bridge around 8am. So you’ll want to beat the masses up the mountain. I arrived at the bridge at 7:45 am. 3️⃣ Hike up! I didn’t bother with a car/parking and hiked directly up the mountain via the trails from nearby the hotel. Google it! Door to bridge it was only a 25 min hike. It was a bit steep in spots, but wear some sturdy shoes and you’ll be fine! 1000% worth the effort ! 🙌 ... 📸:@peeptravels – Neuschwanstein Castle - Germany – August 2024 . . . . . #peeptravels #2025vacationdays #2025bucketlist #2025travel #travelideas #yournextdestination #adventuremoon #honeymoonplanner #meetyouin #traveltips #travelgermany #germanydestinations #germany #NeuschwansteinCastle #disneycastle #disneydestinations #cinderellacastle #germanycastle #marysbridge #Marienbrücke #traveleurope #eurotrip #europecastle #castle #hikeineurope #lonleyplanet #traveldeeper #cntraveler #worldtravelbook
📍Riquewihr, France 🇫🇷 ... 🚨HOT TIP: 📍Riquewihr, France 🇫🇷 ... 🚨HOT TIP: Don’t miss dinner in Riquewihr! While many restaurants in Europe open later and stay open later (here’s looking at you Spain & Italy 👀 ) that’s not the case in this small French village! We nearly missed dinner both nights of our trip. 😩 The restaurants here open around 6:30-7PM - have just one dinner seating - and then close around 8:30-9PM. Be sure to book yourself a reservation in advance or arrive when they open to try and snag a seat. Worth it though, because the food here is magnifique! 🤌 🤤 ... 📸:@peeptravels – Riquewihr, Alsace, France 🇫🇷 – August 2024 . . . . . #peeptravels #travelwithpeep #2024vacationdays #2024bucketlist #travelideas #yournextdestination #adventuremoon #honeymoonplanner ##meetyouin #strasbourg #travelfrance #france #alsace #UNESCOworldheritage #riquewihr #travelgram #latergram #traveltips

✨ Experience peak holiday cheer in New York City ✨ Experience peak holiday cheer in New York City 🌃 ... While December is a VERY busy time to visit the city that never sleeps....it just might be worth it to experience the twinkling magic that is NYC bursting with Christmas. 🎄 ... We went about it Home Alone 2 style....and started out with a lovely cheese pizza 🍕 (just for us). Try it for yourself! Take in the view from the Empire State Building. Go ice skating in Central Park. Have a fancy cocktail at the Plaza Hotel. Marvel at the tree in Rockefeller Center and get blasted in the face with the dazzling performance of the Sak’s building on 5th avenue. Then get cozy with some Christmas jazz at Tavern on the Green. ... There’s endless festive things to do and see, from Christmas markets to Broadway shows.

Wander Milan in November 🇮🇹 … Get bougie i Wander Milan in November 🇮🇹 … Get bougie in Italy’s chic fashion capital! While November can be a rainy month in Italy, earlier in the month will afford you clearer skies and less crowds. And if it does rain...you can just pop inside for some world-class shopping with Italy’s designer brands. 🛍️ ... The Duomo di Milano is not to be missed! One of the largest cathedrals in the world it took nearly six centuries to complete. Head up to the rooftop and wander among the spires for a sunset view of the city. 🌅 ... Off season is also a good time to try and snag tickets to sought after sites. Like getting a glimpse of Leonardo da Vinci's mural masterpiece – The Last Supper which is an integral part of the Santa Maria delle Grazie church. Or a night out at the opera with seats at the Teatro alla Scala – one of the most famous opera houses in Europe 🎭 … You can never go wrong eating in Italy…and Milan doesn't disappoint. From hearty risottos to truffle-infused dishes, November is an excellent time to try some of Milan's seasonal delicacies. 🤌 ... 📸:@peeptravels – Milan, Italy 🇮🇹 – Feb 2020 & Nov 2018 . . . #peeptravels #travelwithpeep #2024vacationdays #2024bucketlist #travelideas #yournextdestination #italy #igitaly #igitalia #italia #visititaly #italyinnovember #milan #milano #lastsuppermilan #teatroallascala #lascala #operahouse #duomodimilano #duomorooftopmilan #galleria #prada
👀 Peep fall colors in the Smoky Mountains in Oc 👀 Peep fall colors in the Smoky Mountains in October 🍁 ... While the October crowds flock to Gatlinburg and the main drag of the Great Smoky Mountains NP for prime leaf viewing.... take the road less traveled and head over to the east side of the park instead. ... You’ll get fewer crowds, peaceful hiking and big Smoky Mountain views. For an October weekend itinerary, I suggest camping in Cosby Campground and hiking up to the Mt Cammerer fire tower. This moderately steep hike is worth the effort. You’ll be rewarded at the top with 360-degree views of those famous blue ridges of the Smoky Mountains ⛰️ ... 📸: @peeptravels – Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA 🇺🇸 – October 2022 . . . #peeptravels #travelwithpeep #2024vacationdays #2024bucketlist #travelideas #yournextdestination #nps #gsmnp #greatsmokymountains #thesmokies #mtcammerer #mtcammererfiretower #hikethesmokies #takeahike #nature #fallcolors #fallleaves #fallcamping #autumncamping #smokiesinfall #leafpeeping
