Feel the culture, art, and history at Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and Piazza Duomo, Florence
If there’s one place in the world where you can always feel like home is in Florence. A little known fact is that most of the buildings in Florence are no more than three-stories big because taller buildings make people feel small (that’s some Roman philosophy right there).

Go for a walk in Soho, London
Soho is known as the party side of London. Being a place full of clubs and restaurants, it’s definitely worth visiting during the night.
