The Hall of Mirrors inside of the Versailles Palace is one of the most incredible rooms that you could ever stand in. Visiting Versailles is definitely well worth the train ride from Paris!

I think I found Heaven…
Lauterbrunnen is a small town that can be found in the Swiss Alps. Walking around exploring, I’m pretty sure that I came across the most beautiful resting area that one could have. Surrounded by flowers with the Staubbach Falls in the background, the cemetery is just zen. Lauterbrunnen itself is a must see, every angle is nothing but a postcard.
If you are visiting the Swiss Alps, make sure that you stop in Lauterbrunnen to take a look!

The Arch of Titus, in Rome, Italy, dates back to 1st century. It is the triumphal arch with both inscriptions & sculptures that honor the victories of Titus. It stands next to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Best to visit when it’s not so hot, because it’s a lot of concrete, climbing, and if you want to see all, it’s a full day of sightseeing!

Interlachen, Switzerland is one of the most tranquil, beautiful places one could visit. Every direction looks like a postcard.
This is a typical Swiss hotel, laced with pops of color, and gorgeous flowers.

One of the most famous bridge’s in the world. When visiting Venice, Italy, it’s a must see! The Rialto Bridge crosses over the famous Grand Canal in Venice, the broadest canal, and most well known in Venice. Lots of restaurants, great views, and beautiful colorful buildings. I shot this with a Canon 5d Mark IV camera.
![Buckingham Palace](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1535393087860-XFYYFXOF27LUY1U2V4P7/150A7233wo+copy.jpg)
When the British flag flies above, it means that the Queen is in! When in London, definitely take your walk through St. James and Hyde Park, and then visit Buckingham Palace. Hopefully you’ll get to see the changing of the guard.

Piazza San Marco - Venice’s most amazing architectural square. Lot’s to see, so plan on spending at least half a day. Totally advise doing a “skip the line” pass, and make sure that you see the Basilica, Museum above, Doge Palace, and take the elevator to the top of the Campanile.
![Lido Beach Resort](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1599948642153-Z0GPW3EEDJSU1V4MNGV6/image-asset.jpeg)
Dream Vacations happen on the West coast of Florida, and the Lido Beach resort did not disappoint. Especially when the beautiful Florida skies provided this dramatic skyline, along with a beautiful rainbow.
Located in Central Florida just west of Sarasota, on Lido Key. The resort has rooms that open up to a beautiful pool, along with the tranquil Gulf of Mexico.

It doesn’t matter your religious beliefs, the Italian Renaissance St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican is a must see. The architecture, the design, and just the fact that it is one of the most holiest lands in the world, should be enough to want to visit.
![Murano](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1535652533805-XD6HWMTBRP0MKOQHMAIP/Murano+copy.jpg)
When in Venice you must take the water taxi over to the beautiful island of Murano. Murano is known for it’s colorful buildings, and colorful glass work!

A little glimpse of Venice in the town of Bologna. Open the door, and then it’s a whole new world - Little Venice. Definitely very Alice in Wonderland!
![Tower Bridge](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1529797751456-CHZQVUVKO54RCSH4EC9E/150A6970.jpg)
London’s Tower Bridge is always a tourists must-see in London. Just make sure that you don’t confuse it with the London Bridge….it’s the Tower Bridge that you want to visit!
![Karlskirche](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1599947836688-OS12K8WDXR2O1Z0QWG75/image-asset.jpeg)
This famous baroque church goes by many different names… The St. Charles Church, Karlskirche, or The Rektoratskirche St. Karl Borromäus. The church is located on the South side of Karlspatz in Vienna, and aside from the church being just stunning, what is really interesting about this church is that it was built to give ‘thanks’ after beating the plague epidemic.
![Eiffel Tower](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1529796818087-DSZK4JDCIJHS01RGX50Y/150A6747.jpg)
The most famous site in Paris - the Eiffel Tower. No matter how many times that you see it, it’s just stunning, and magical. This time I fulfilled my bucket list by picnicking in front of it!
![Piazza Del Duomo](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1529797425887-ABJ69FX70MAL88LCOJ6W/Florencecell.jpg)
While walking down the Tuscan stunning streets of Florence or Firenze, you see this stunning huge masterpiece approaching. The Piazza Del Duomo is some of the most amazing renaissance art and architecture you’ve ever seen.
![Pantheon](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1535658923979-IZHLXD6RYZCVSUO1FW0L/150A5603+copy.jpg)
The Parisian Pantheon set the scene for many architectural copycats. Do you see Washington D.C?
![Roman Colosseum](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1529797814386-3NX7QJY3ZKW9EWORHYRM/150A3781.jpg)
The Roman Colosseum is always at the top of every tourists list to visit in Rome. Definitely advice getting the Roma Pass to help with skipping the lines.
![Roman Forum](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1535658951774-2NCVYSMJQ5UWLRDXPE4L/150A3860+copy.jpg)
If you really want to see historic structures that date back…visit the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum, in Rome, Italy. See how Rome really looked back in the days of Caesar. Definitely worth seeing! I wouldn’t advise during a hot day, because everything is stone and concrete, and the sun just reflects off those structures, making for a great sun burn, but definitely worth the trip!
![Waterfront Venice](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1535658974369-L6ZZ81ONITNLX0OVNIAZ/150A4611wo+copy.jpg)
Every picture is a postcard in Venice. it’s like no where that you’ve ever been before. If you come via airport, there’s a good chance you are going to, or from, via water taxi - very different then most other travel destinations. If you came via train, then you left the train station face to face with The Grand Canal, an absolute mind blowing site to walk into. Regardless you method of arrival, you came from cars, trucks, or trains - to nothing but boats…just an amazing site to see!
![Boating on the Seine past Notre Dame](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1535659000107-C3P2GC1N9FWIWJHKTARY/150A5584+copy.jpg)
Definitely recommended to take a scenic boat tour down the Seine River in Paris. Not only will you get to see beautiful sights like Notre Dame, but many of Paris’s other historic sights can also be viewed during this romantic, relaxing leisurely trip!
![St. James Park Evening Sky](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59553b1a5016e1bfff6d7ff1/1535659023297-H6I2O4JBJBR0K0ZTX1UZ/150A7171+copy.jpg)
Strolling through St. James Park on the way to Buckingham Palace. Definitely a great site of British Flags, great park scenery, and of course -famous black cabs!
