🇪🇸 Son Ermità | Menorca, Spain

✨ Why put this one on your list?

🌿 Peaceful countryside setting
🏡 Intimate Mediterranean hideaway
🌊 Close to Menorca's gorgeous coastline
🥾 Perfect for exploring the island's natural beauty

🇪🇺 ✈️ EUROPE TRAVEL TIP #8
📅 DON’T FORGET ABOUT SUNDAYS & HOLIDAYS!

One little detail can make a BIG difference when planning a European vacation: opening hours! ⏰

Depending on where you’re traveling, Sundays and public holidays may look very different from what you’re used to in the U.S.

🛍️ Some shops may be closed or have reduced hours
🍽️ Restaurants may have their own weekly closing days
🏛️ Museums and attractions can have specific closure days
🚆 Public transportation may run on a reduced schedule
🏡 Smaller towns can become especially quiet

And this can vary significantly from country to country—and even city to city.

💡 HEIKE’S TIP: Before finalizing your itinerary, check the official opening hours for your must-see attractions, restaurants and transportation—especially if your visit falls on a Sunday or public holiday.

✨ BONUS TIP: Don’t automatically avoid Sundays!

A quieter Sunday can be the perfect opportunity to…

☕ Enjoy a long café breakfast
🚶 Wander through a historic neighborhood
🌳 Relax in a park
🥐 Find a local bakery
📸 Explore without rushing

Sometimes a slower day is exactly what your European itinerary needs. ❤️

Plan around the closures—not around the experience.

✨🌍 HIDDEN GEMS OF EUROPE — DAY 7 🌍✨

📍 Giethoorn, Netherlands 🇳🇱

What if I told you there’s a little Dutch village where canals take the place of streets? 🛶🌿

Welcome to Giethoorn, a peaceful waterside village filled with charming thatched-roof homes, wooden bridges, gardens and picturesque canals. It’s easy to see why it’s sometimes called the “Venice of the Netherlands.” 💙

✨ Why you’ll love Giethoorn:

🛶 Cruise through the village by boat
🌉 Wander across its charming little bridges
🏡 Admire the traditional thatched-roof farmhouses
🚲 Explore the surrounding countryside by bike
☕ Stop at a waterside café and simply enjoy the view
📸 Find beautiful photo spots around almost every corner

💡 Heike’s Travel Tip:
Giethoorn can get busy during the middle of the day. Visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon for a quieter experience—and give yourself time to explore beyond the busiest canals.

🇳🇱 Perfect for:
Travelers looking for something slower, charming and completely different from the big European cities.

✨ Sometimes your favorite vacation memories come from the tiny places you almost didn't visit.

👇 Would you explore Giethoorn by boat 🛶 or bicycle 🚲?

📌 Save this one for your future Netherlands trip!

✈️ HEIKE’S TRAVEL TIP — DAY 7 🌎

🛂 CHECK YOUR PASSPORT BEFORE YOU BOOK!

Your passport isn’t expired, so you’re good to go… right? Not always! 👀

Depending on where you’re traveling, there may be additional passport requirements beyond simply being valid on the day you arrive.

Before booking an international trip, check:

🛂 Your passport expiration date
📅 How much validity your destination requires
📖 Whether you need blank passport pages
🌎 Entry requirements for your destination
🛫 Requirements for countries you’ll transit through
📋 Whether a visa or travel authorization is required

✨ BONUS TIP: Don’t wait until the week before your trip to check! Passport renewals, visas, and travel authorizations can take time, so make this one of the first things you check when planning international travel.

And always verify requirements with official government sources, because entry rules can change.

❤️ Check early. Travel prepared. Stress less.

📌 Save this tip for your future international adventure!
