My fav city Torino 🇮🇹
#cityscape
My trip to Torino, Italy, was an unforgettable blend of history, culture, and amazing food! The city, known for its elegant squares and Baroque architecture, felt like stepping into a different era. I spent most of my time wandering around Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo, both free to explore, but if you’re a museum lover, I highly recommend the Egyptian Museum – entry is about €15 and it's incredible!
Another highlight was visiting the Mole Antonelliana, home to the National Cinema Museum, with breathtaking views from the top (for around €12). Don't miss the royal palaces and the delicious cafes serving classic Italian espresso and gelato. Torino’s mix of history and modern charm makes it a must-visit! 🍝🏛️☕

I want to crazily recommend the Egyptian Museum 🇪🇬 to the whole world‼️
Wuwuwu, after waiting for 20 years, the Grand Egyptian Museum is finally coming! This museum cost 1.1 billion US dollars and is built next to the Khufu Pyramid. The three axes of the venue radiate and extend to the three pyramids.
·
🛕Standing inside the pavilion, you can enjoy the magnificent view of the Giza Pyramids, a millennium-long confrontation between modernity and antiquity, with a sense of epic time and space travel.
·
Before, when I went to the Egyptian Museum and saw the relics that were casually placed, I felt really heartbroken! 🥺 These are precious cultural relics that are rare in the world, yet there were no protective measures at all! Now, they finally have a new home, where they can be exhibited for the world to see the brilliant ancient Egyptian civilization. ✨
·
The entire museum houses over 100,000 treasures from ancient Egyptian civilization, and what is most anticipated is that nearly 5,000 burial objects of Tutankhamun will also be fully displayed in the Grand Egyptian Museum.
🎭The golden mask, gold coffin, golden throne, crown, necklace, slippers, and every single item is a breathtaking rare treasure.
·
The key point is! The key point is! In the center of the square, you can actually see the huge statue of Ramses II 🧝♂️. Great architects and archaeologists even replicated its solar spectacle, where on February 21st every year, the sun shines on the face of the giant statue of King Ramses II.
·
In the city of Cairo with a thousand towers, you can also wander like this.
🌟One of the Seven Wonders of the World - the Giza Pyramids
🌟Explore the past and present of Egypt in the Egyptian Museum.
🌟The open-air market that existed in the Middle Ages - the Hariri market.
🌟Overlooking the palaces of Cairo from Saladin Citadel
Recommended places above, all go for me‼️ After wandering around, it's hard not to fall in love with here.

Feel Like You Are Inside a Movie
Are you planning to watch a romantic movie with your beloved one?
Consider going one step further and bring your second half to the National Museum of Cinema in Turin inside the infamous Mole Antonelliana tower.
Learn everything from the first pre-cinematographic devices like magic lanterns to the modern techniques such as CGI. A ride on the panoramic elevator with glass walls to the panorama platform is highly recommended!

National movie museum in Torino
The first movie maker of Italy and now it’s became a museum, that nice place is located in Torino. In a public holiday, booking a ticket online to make sure it’s available to enter or sometimes you may need to line up for an hour 😢. Inside the museum, from the starting till the ending of making movie, photography can be found out and as well enjoyed the costumes of the films.

#holidayvacation The salt roads between Piedmont and Liguria were lands of passage for shepherds, pilgrims, muleteers, traders and travelers who, from western Liguria and nearby Provence, reached Piedmont and northern Europe via the Alpine passes, creating dense networks of exchanges. These were places of transit guarded by many watchtowers scattered throughout the territory. The territory between the Alps and the Ligurian Sea is characterized by a rich cultural system consisting of churches, monuments, castles, historic centers and buildings, "hospitali" i.e. places of rest and prayer, as well as paths, mule tracks, passages.
Most of the routes called "Salt roads” starting from Nice and Porto Maurizio (in Liguria), converged into “Colle del Cornio” (nowadays known as “Colle di Tenda”) from where they continued northwards. Also known as "Via Marenga". (i.e. "that leads to the sea"), the Salt route that passed through Limone was a characteristic mule track that, although it exceeded very high altitudes, did not present annoying up and downs.
Nowadays, the "Salt Routes" have lost their commercial connotation and have taken on an important role in outdoor tourism: hikes, trekking and mountain bike destinations, which allow to explore territories that are still uncontaminated and rich in flora and fauna varieties.
The Salt road which goes along the former military road Limone - Monesi is a route of medium difficulty, which reaches, as its highest point, 2,239 m. above sea level. Starting points can be the railway station of Limone P.te, with a route of 53 km, or the “Colle di Tenda” with 39 km. The arrival is in Monesi di Triora at 1378 m. above sea level; with a ring route, you can return passing through the French territory.

fahlensee
The Falensee (Falen Lake) is an incredible alpine lake situated next to the Bollenwees Mountain Hut in the Alpstein region of Appenzell. It can be an adventure in itself or part of several hikes nearby. The Bollenwees Mountain Hut, which is right next to the Falensee, is a great overnight stay and base camp for sunset and sunrise missions in the surrounding lakes and peaks.I visited the Falensee on two occasions. The first visit was part of the ‘Alpstein Three Lakes Hike‘ and the second occasion was at the end of the Hoher Kasten to Saxer Lucke Hike. However, you can also hike in from Brulisau just to stay overnight at Bollenwees and visit the Falensee.
