5 not crowded destinations to travel after COVID

Five non-crowded destinations to travel after COVID

A few weeks ago we were already making predictions on our blog about what it will be like to travel after COVID. And in our post today we want to let our minds fly and we propose 5 non-crowded destinations to travel after COVID without rushing, without queues of people wherever you go and with much to do and discover. Take note.

1. Brno, Czech Republic

While the capital of the Czech Republic is usually a busy and hectic city, Brno is a charming city with a quieter pace of life in which to enjoy a few days of vacation.

Around the Market Square is the old town of Brno with its cobbled streets and a wide range of bars and restaurants. In this area you can visit the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul from the 12th century, in the Old Town Hall (also a tourist information point) or the Moravian Gallery in Brno with its modern art exhibitions. On the Petrov hill that rises next to the old city, is the Spilberk Castle that was a royal residence and military fortress, from where you can also get one of the best panoramic views of the city.

Like other better-known imperial cities, Brno has large avenues for shopping and numerous parks and garden areas. And in its surroundings there are also many nature options to choose from, such as spending the day in the forests near the Brno Dam or visiting the Moravian Karst with its 1,100 caverns and canyons.

2. Kungsleden, Sweden

The Royal Trail of Sweden is the equivalent of the Camino de Santiago in Spain (without religious attributes). It is a 400-kilometer route between the towns of Abisko and Hemavan, in the northwest of the country.

Along the trail, 4 National Parks with their different landscapes are crossed. From typically alpine areas to low mountain forests, crossing the Arctic Circle. Although the hottest months are the busiest, the wide expanse of the terrain (and the laid-back character of the Swedes) keep it a peaceful experience.

The accommodation options along the way are varied, from cabins or lodges to hostels or there are even free camping options.

On the website of the Swedish Tourism Association you can find more information about the route, the different stages you can do, accommodation options and everything you need to know to organize your trip.

3. Bucovina Region, Romania

The Bucovina region is located in the northwest of Romania, in one of the mountainous areas of the Romanian Carpathians. This region is known for its Painted Monasteries that are decorated both inside and outside, by frescoes painted between the 15th and 16th centuries.

The Painted Monasteries are part of the group of Churches of Moldavia (Romania) recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. The most famous Painted Monastery is the Voroneț Monastery. His paintings in blue tones stand out. The list goes on with the Arbore Monastery, the Humor Monastery, the Moldovița Monastery, the Pătrăuți Church of the Holy Cross, the Probota Monastery, the Church of St. George in Suceava and the Sucevița Monastery.

The best option to visit them at your own pace is to stay in Suceava, Botoșani or Piatra Neamț and plan the visit with a rental car. Although there are also travel agencies that organize day trips from different cities.

4. Holyhead, UK

About two hours east of Liverpool, across the Isle of Anglesey, is Holyhead. Holyhead is located on Holy Island and is the perfect place to spend a few days, tour the area and discover a Welsh area that is not very crowded by tourists.

In the city there are several attractions that are worth visiting such as the Church of Saint Cybi surrounded by an ancient Roman wall or the Maritime Museum. But, without a doubt, the most appealing thing is to walk through its streets among local shops and restaurants, taste the local fish and seafood or take a walk along the sea until you reach the port.

Holyhead is one of the points that the Anglesey Sea Trail runs through. This trail skirts the entire island of Anglesey and runs through beautiful landscapes. In the closest section you can travel north towards the port, pass by Soldier's Point House, reach Parc Gwledig Morglawdd Caergybi park, then go up to North Stack (the northernmost part of the island) and go down to South Stack where you find the lighthouse.

Another option is to rent a car and visit the charming villages of Holy Island and Anglesey and see their coasts, their forts, their ruins and all the attractions they offer.

5. Ägerisee, Switzerland

Switzerland is known for being the country of the Alps, the cantons and the lakes. The lake that we present to you in today's post is Ägerisee, or Lake Ägeri, about 40 kilometers south of Zurich and surrounded by mountains and green meadows.

The two main locations on the lake are Unterägeri (the largest) and Oberägeri, although there are other small populated areas around the entire lake. From the mountains Zugerberg (to the northwest) or Morgartenberg (to the south) there are spectacular views of the entire lake. But hiking and mountain walks are not the only option for active tourism in the area, since there is a wide range of activities such as kayaking or boat trips and, in winter, snow sports.

The preferred accommodation option in the area is camping. Not in vain there are several campsites where you can enjoy a quiet holiday.

And if you want to know more about the area, about 15 minutes by car or by public transport, you will find Zug, the capital of the canton. In Zug you will find more animation and a greater offer of shops and restaurants.

Are you already packing your suitcase? We hope we have inspired you with these options for low-mass and affordable tourism to travel in Europe as soon as the Coronavirus restrictions leave us. What trip would you like to do as soon as possible? Are you also considering a non-mass tourism option?

Remember that you can buy the currency you need for your trip at Eurochange with full availability and with the best rates.

See you soon!

5 romantic getaways by 2020

Top 5 romantic destinations by 2020 in Europe

Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or not, a weekend getaway as a couple can be perfect to escape from the routine and enjoy the company. Today we propose 5 destinations to prepare your romantic plan within 3 hours by plane.

Paris (France)

The city of love is the perfect setting for a couple getaway. Although it is a city in which some of the most important historical events in contemporary history have happened and where there is much to see, for a romantic getaway you can just stroll through the Champs Elysées at sunset, see how the lighting of Eiffel Tower turns on or taste wines and cheeses from the region. A walk on the banks of the Seine will be the perfect weekend for an evening in the city. And of course don't forget to try their croissants and their perfect crepes to share a romantic breakfast.

Vienna (Austria)

During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the second half of the 19th century, Vienna was one of the most important cities worldwide in terms of culture, art, politics, finance,… Despite the wars that have passed through it, Vienna retains great part of its imperial charm, in its streets you can still hear waltzes played by street musicians, horse cars travel the center for tourists and its palaces offer outdoor gardens where you can walk. In addition, its cafes continue to retain a classic charm and in them you can taste an authentic Viennese coffee with a piece of Sacher cake.

Budapest (Hungary)

Budapest is known as the Pearl of the Danube and it is not in vain. It is another of the main cities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, as such, retains some of that decadent splendor. Its classic buildings contrast with the Soviet constructions of the 20th century. Margarita Island is a perfect setting for sunset walks or a picnic if the weather is good. To make your stay the most relaxing, the city offers several spas where you can relax.

Prague (Czech Republic)

Prague is one of the most visited European cities every year. Its old city preserves relics of the Middle Ages and encourages visitors to walk its cobbled streets contemplating its beauty. From the viewpoint of Petřín, on the other side of the Vltava River, you can see the best view of Prague and see why it is known as the city of one hundred towers.

Verona (Italy)

Verona is one of the main cities in Italy, but what is known throughout the world is for being the setting where the story of Romeo and Juliet unfolds. Among Roman ruins, palazzos and medieval buildings, you will discover a city of alleyways, cafes and trattorias where to spend a few days in the city where (it is supposed) the most famous love story in history took place. Do not forget to visit Juliet's house, in whose courtyard thousands of visitors leave love letters.

Rijeka and Galway European Capitals of Culture in 2020

European Capitals of Culture 2020

As usual in our blog, we begin the year with a post about the European Capitals of Culture for this year. The two cities that will hold this title in 2020 are Rijeka (Croatia) and Galway (Ireland). Read on if you want to know the charms of these two cities and what awaits you if you want to visit them during this year.

Rijeka (Croatia) – Port of Diversity

Rijeka is the third most populous city in Croatia. It is located in the north of the country, on the coast of the Gulf of Carnaro. It also has the main port of the country, for this reason its leitmotiv will be Port of Diversity.

It is a city that has been part of different countries or sovereignty throughout its history. For this reason today it is an open and liberal city where much of the cultural scene will be concentrated in 2020.

Rijeka is the first Croatian city to be the European Capital of Culture. During this year its cultural program will focus on three topics on the agenda: water, work and migration. The program has more than 600 cultural events among which there will be concerts, operas, festivals, conferences, exhibitions,… of both Croatian and international artists. In addition, the city has been preparing for this moment for some years, enabling and building places to host all these experiences.

The program will be divided into 7 segments: 27 neighborhoods, Times of Power, Dopolavoro, Kitchen of Diversity, Children's House, Lungomare, Sweet & Salt. And each of them will have its related events.

The inauguration will be held on February 1st at the Port of Rijeka, admission is free and the work of Rijeka's most famous artist, David Maljković will be shown on the exhibition.

Check the full program on the Rijeka 2020 website.

Galway (Ireland) – Let the magic in

Galway is a city located on the west coast of Ireland. It is the third Irish city to be the European Capital of Culture and its 2020 program is strongly linked to its Celtic tradition. Hence his leitmotiv: Let the magic in.

The Galway cultural program is structured around the Celtic calendar, which consists of 4 parts that are the four seasons: Imbolc (from February to April), Bealtaine (from May to July), Lughansa (from August to October) and Samhain (from November to January). And the activities distributed during the seasons will revolve around three themes: language, landscape and migration. Its program consists of activities, exhibitions, theaters, concerts, screenings and festivals in which local and international artists will be accommodated.

The opening events will take place between February 1st and 8th, coinciding with the end of winter in the Celtic calendar. There will be activities not only in the city of Galway, but throughout the county. These days the values par excellence of the Irish will be exalted: courage, creativity and resilience.

On the Galway 2020 website you can check all the activities.

Have you already decided which city you are going to travel to get in touch with culture in 2020? Remember that if you need to exchange your Euros into Croatian Kuna, in Eurochange we have the best price and total availability.

Travel to watch the Champions League matches

Exchange your currency in advance

It is increasingly common among football fans and partners clubs to organize a trip to watch their team's match in the Champions League, if they are lucky to travel to see the final or travel to attend an Europa League game.

If this is your case and you are going to travel to a European city to watch your team's Champions match, we can help you.

At present there are already several companies that are dedicated to organizing trips of a couple of days and include accommodation, travel and tickets to the game. All included and organized.

But there is something that is not usually taken into account: currency exchange. Although there are matches that are played in countries where the Euro is used, there are others in which the official currency is another. And it is an issue that is sometimes overlooked and can be a last minute headache.

So in Eurochange we recommend that you make your change of Euros in advance to the currency of the country to which you are traveling.

In this way you will forget to be thinking about changing currency once you arrive at the destination, you will avoid paying high commissions if you pay with your card and, most importantly, you will have the security of being able to pay anywhere you go. You will not have problems because your card has a limit, a lock to use it outside of Spain or that stops working properly. In short: you will avoid problems during your trip.

Make your change in our offices or make your purchase online and receive your order at home in 1-2 days. Currency exchange becomes easy, comfortable and safe with us.

And if your team wins, better than better!

Matera and Plovdiv, European Capitals of Culture in 2019

In 2019 Matera and Plovdiv will be European Capitals of Culture

At Eurochange we think that the best way to start the new year is to start planning the holidays and the getaways of the year. That's why we want to start our first post of the year by proposing two cultural destinations for your 2019 holidays: Plovdiv in Bulgaria and Matera in Italy. The two cities will be European Capitals of Culture this year and therefore will be two destinations with a lot of activities throughout the year.

Matera, a city carved into the rock

The city of Matera is located in the south of Italy, in the region of Basilicata. Since 1993 it is part of the Unesco World Heritage Site for its Sassi and its set of rock churches.

The Sassi are the typical houses that confirm the old town of Matera that are excavated in the limestone of one of the slopes of the Gravina ravine. The Sassi are considered one of the first settlements of population in Italy, since objects belonging to the Paleolithic have been found.

Among the cave churches stand out San Pedro Barisano and Santa María de Idris, both also carved into the rock.

During the year 2019, in Matera you can enjoy exhibitions, theater, concerts and workshops among other activities that will take place from the opening ceremony on January 19, until January 20, 2020.

On the official Matera website you can find the complete program of activities.

Plovdiv, a city with history

Plovdiv is now the second most populous city in Bulgaria after Sofia. It is located more to the center of the country and is considered one of the oldest cities in Europe since its history dates back to the 4th century BC.

Throughout its history it was conquered by the Macedonians, the Thracians and the Roman Empire. And as a result of these conquests, today remains in the city remains of its former inhabitants, from Nebet Tepe (the first settlement of the city) to the old town (architectural and historical reserve) through the Roman stadium or theater.

For this year 2019 Plovdiv has prepared an extensive program of cultural activities that remember their origins and under the motto "together" they will create a new legacy for the future uniting the different social groups, ethnic groups and religions that coexist in the city converting it in a better place to live and an attractive destination for new tourists.

On the official page of Plovdiv 2019 you can see the full program of activities.

We hope we have given you some inspiration to include one of these two destinations (or both) in your list of places to visit in 2019.

4 holiday destinatios in the Caribbean

We propose you 4 of the best destinations in the Caribbean sea

When we hear about travel to the Caribbean, we immediately imagine the paradisiacal beaches, palm trees and sunbeds that you would never want to raise. If you also want to live the experience and discover how the holidays are on the beaches of the photos, point out these 4 destinations that we propose today.

Aruba – The Happy Island

Aruba is a small island near the north coast of Venezuela, being an autonomous country of the Netherlands. Its history has made it a mixture of cultures such as Caribbean, African and European, that have made it an open, welcoming and, above all, happy people. Hence, they call it the happy island (according to the Arubans, the happiest in the Caribbean).

Aruba is a small island (about 30km long and 10km wide) which makes it easy to travel and discover in 10-15 days of vacation. It is a safe destination (as in all places you can always find a pickpocket) but it is a destination that you can visit and go at your leisure without problems to leave the resort as it happens in other Caribbean destinations.

The offer of activities is very wide: diving or snorkeling (which is a must-do), bicycle tours, discover the Arikok National Park, beach sports (windsurfing, surfing, kayaking, …). In addition, it is very prepared for family holidays with an offer to everyone's taste.

Jamaica – The land of "All Right"

South of the island of Cuba is Jamaica, a colourful and welcoming land with a great cultural, gastronomic and nature offer. It is the land that hides behind the Rastafarian culture and that gave life to its maximum representative: Bob Marley.

In Jamaica you will find some of the best beaches in the Caribbean as well as tropical jungles, excursions, sports, nightlife and a surprising gastronomy. In Jamaica there are many places to discover, so it is common to make the trip by staying in several places to know all the areas of the island. Although there is also the option to stay in one place and visit the others based on excursions. But keep in mind that crossing the island in length can take about 7 hours, so you have to choose well what your headquarters will be.

Whether you are looking for relaxation, a family trip, a romantic environment or adventure, Jamaica is a destination that meets all these requirements.

More information: Tourism website of Jamaica

Dominican Republic – It has everything

In the Dominican Republic there are many of the best known destinations in the Caribbean: Punta Cana, Santo Domingo, Samana, La Romana, Puerto Plata,… There you will also find many of the best beaches, not the Caribbean, but the world. The popularity of the destination has made the prices more affordable than other islands, but also that there are areas a little overcrowded at some times of the year. Anyway, don’t worry, with 400 kilometers of beaches it is impossible for you not to find your little lonely corner in paradise.

They say that the Dominican Republic has it all because it combines culture, art, beaches, mountains, tropical jungles and endless activities. It is the second largest country in the Caribbean, so you will have to choose your destination well or combine several places where your stay depends on what you want to do during your visit.

Santo Domingo - Dominican Republic — Santo Domingo – Dominican Republic

Our recommendations are that you do not miss Santo Domingo, the first Spanish colonial city, where you can enjoy the vestiges of that time in the colonial city on the banks of the Ozama River and a large, modern city where you can shop, find restaurants and enjoy life at another pace. In addition, adventure parks have proliferated in recent years and adventure tourism with zip lines, trekking, 4×4 routes in the surroundings of its two natural parks has become fashionable.

More information: Tourism website of the Dominican Republic

Costa Rica – Pura vida!

Our last proposal is not an island, it is Costa Rica, a Central American country located between Nicaragua and Panama. It is not one of the Caribbean countries best known for its beaches and that is why we wanted to end this destination. It is true that it has beaches that have nothing to envy to those of its neighboring countries, but what we like most about this destination is not to lie down in the sun.

Costa Rica is a country with a great biodiversity, where you can make excursions in tropical jungles of which you can’t see the sky of how leafy they are. You can also trek through one of its two volcanoes, find hundreds of waterfalls in which to cool off in its forests or do adventure sports in the best possible environment: canyoning, climbing, caving,…

And when you need to regain strength, you will find a rich and creative cuisine where fruits, vegetables and grains accompanied by fish, seafood or meat are very important. And if you like to taste good coffee, you should know that Costa Rica is among the 15 largest coffee producers in the world. But not only that. In recent years, small coffee producers have been proliferating, producing and selling gourmet coffee on their own in the country's market. Especially in the capital, San José, the small coffee shops that sell gourmet coffees of the country at a good price are fashionable. It will be an experience that you won’t want to miss.

If you have already decided and you are going to start looking for flights to one of these Caribbean gems, keep in mind two things you can’t forget: a good insect repellent, especially if you are sensitive to bites, so that no mosquito ruins your trip and to take a part of your money in cash (preferably in US Dollars) to be able to enjoy food stalls, street markets, local art stores and any experience that is presented to you to enjoy here and now.

4 European cities to visit in autumn

Have a look to these 4 european cities ideal to visit in autumn

With the arrival of autumn the days begin to become shorter, the temperatures begin to fall, the trees begin to dye of ocher and it seems that already must to be ready for the hibernation. But don’t be discouraged, the end of summer may involve planning a holiday or autumn break in one of these 4 European cities where you will enjoy these months before winter.

Zurich

We stayed in the northern part of the Alps, but this time it's Zurich's turn in Switzerland. As usual the gardens and parks on the banks of the river change the landscape. A good option is to rent a car in Zurich and spend a day touring Lake Zurich, getting to know the little towns that surround it. The drive from Zurich to Uznach (at the other end of the lake) doesn’t reach 60 kilometers and is a good way to get around the city.

Wroclaw

Wroclaw, southwest of Poland, is one of the youngest cities in the country where you can enjoy a milder climate than in the northern cities. Its historic centre has been rehabilitated in recent years and is a perfect city to walk and cross the many bridges that cross its canals as if it were one of the Northern Venices. One of the biggest tourist attractions is to locate the gnomes of Wroclaw. These are figurines of gnomes with a profession and a history that you can find in the streets of historic centre.

Bergen

Located in south-western Norway, Bergen is the second largest city in the country, surrounded by the impressive landscape of the Norwegian fjords. The Bryggen quarter is the most colourful and photographed place of the city with its wooden houses. And very close to it is the Fish Market where you can buy and even taste typical and fresh products. And if you are looking for a walk in the mountains, don’t miss out on the opportunity to do some mycological route and discover the great variety of mushrooms in the area.

Edinburgh

The second largest city and capital of Scotland is one of the best European cities to visit in autumn. Its parks, gardens and green areas begin to change colour and lose their leaves. Strolling through its streets or taking a trip around, can be two good options to enjoy the autumnal landscape. In addition, during the autumn months there are many celebrations in the city: the festival of storytelling, the Samhuinn, Halloween, Guy Fawkes night, St. Andrew's Day,…

If you have decided to prepare a break to visit one of these cities, remember that you will need to change your Euros to the corresponding currency. But it is not a problem, in Eurochange you will be able to buy the currencies that you need with the best rate and total availability.
