When people are visiting the Netherlands, 9 times out of 10, they’re visiting Amsterdam. It makes sense- the city is hugely popular for many reasons including its canal system, culture, and history, plus it’s a major transit hub for international travelers.

Museum Highlight- Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
I can never leave a city without visiting at least one museum, can I? Both the Kelvingrove and Burrell Collection came highly recommended, but I ultimately decided to visit the Kelvingrove since it was walking distance from my hotel.

Located just a 15 minute drive away from Munich City Center, Nymphenburg Palace is the perfect option to explore a castle on a rainy day (without having to spend a whole day traveling outside of the city).

Hiking to Avalanche Lake In Glacier National Park
In my opinion, Glacier’s Avalanche Lake hike is one of the most rewarding treks in the park. The trailhead for this hike is just a short walk away from the Avalanche Creek shuttle stop.

Hotel Review: Lisbon- H10 Duque de Loulé
