All three sights are very important and beautiful and are located near the town of Despotovac, in Serbia.

Manasija Monastery – This monastery belongs to the so-called “Moravian school”. It originated in
the 15th century, it was also the endowment of the despot Stefan Lazarevic. The entire monastery complex is surrounded by high walls, which served for defense. The whole consisted of 11 towers, the most important of which is known as the Despot’s Tower. Within the walls is the Church of the Holy Trinity. The Manasija Monastery was demolished and devastated, but also rebuilt several times. Today, Manasija is a nunnery.

If you have the opportunity, be sure to visit this monastery because it is truly a building of great importance for serbian people, a building that exudes history, culture and extraordinary beauty!

Reasava cave – You visit the this cave in an organized guided tour, and the tours start every full hour and last about 45 minutes. Admission is free for children up to 7 years of age, and adults pay 300 rsd for the ticket. The temperature inside the cave is always 7 degrees, at any time of the year, so be sure to bring a jacket! I also recommend comfortable shoes, closed and non-slip (the floor of the cave is extremely wet and slippery in itself!).

A total of 800 m has been arranged for a tour of the cave, and during the entire tour, the guide will draw your attention to important details. You can take photos, but without the flash of course. Decorations inside the cave are exceptional beauties, and the stories of the guides are very interesting. I definitely recommend you to visit this landmark if you find yourself in the vicinity, you will not regret it, believe me!

The surroundings of the cave are very nicely landscaped, and nature will leave you breathless!

Lisine waterfall|Veliki Buk waterfall – After visiting the Resava cave, we continued towards the Lisina waterfall, or, as some still call it, the Veliki Buk waterfall. The waterfall is about 13 km away from the Resava cave. Beautiful nature and an even more beautiful waterfall. It really is a little paradise on earth.

The waterfall is located on the river Vrelo, at about 380 m above sea level. This waterfall has long been considered the highest waterfall in Serbia, with a height of 25 m, until the waterfalls on Stara Planina were discovered.

In the vicinity of this waterfall there are a large number of restaurants where you can relax, dine and enjoy nature. We chose a restaurant that is located right next to the waterfalls and it is an extremely pleasant feeling, because the heat is great during the summer days, and lunch by the waterfall itself is really refreshing! The nature of this area is truly amazing, the scenes are unreal, and enjoyment is guaranteed!

As you have seen, the nature of Serbia really leaves without a text anyone who decides to explore it and pay a little attention to it. Also, in addition to these three proposals, there is Jagodina with it’s water park, Ravanica Monastery, as well as many other beauties and attractions that this part of Serbia offers! Enjoy and write me your impressions! 📩

Thessaloniki is the second largest and most important city in Greece, right after Athens. The city is located at the top of the Gulf of Thessaloniki.

It is an interesting story about how the city got it’s name. Namely, it is believed that the founder of the city was King Cassander, who named the city after his wife Thessalonica, half-sister of Alexander the Great. Thessalonica’s father, Philip of Macedon, named his daughter in honor of the victory over the Thessalians, and in fact her name, as well as the name of the city, is translated in the same way – victory over the Thessalians.

Thessaloniki was under the rule of various peoples – Romans, Venetians, as well as Turks. In the end, of course, it was assigned to Greece.

Thessaloniki is on the one hand a city of modern architecture, with large squares and numerous parks, and on the other hand it is a city with significant buildings from the past, which preserve the memory and remembrance of some past times.

Our visit to Thessaloniki was not very satisfactory. Thessaloniki left a very bad impression on me and I must admit that I would not return to this city again. The streets were very dirty. There was so much garbage in black bags on the main square, as if we were in a garbage dump, and not in the center of one big European city. Nothing in this city overwhelmed me or left a positive impression on me. There are certainly many positive opinions about this city, because as they say – tastes are different! So go ahead, visit this city and judge for yourself.

Some of the most important sights that I recommend you to visit are:

🏢 Archaeological Museum

🚪Gallery gate

🏰 White tower

🚏Aristotle’s Square

⛪️ Church of St. Demetrius

⛪️ Church of St. George

I hope that my text did not deter you from the idea of visiting this city. If you want, write to me about your impressions, as well as about the sights you visited when you were in Thessaloniki. 📩

Solun | Tesaloniki je drugi grad po veličini i značaju u Grčkoj, odmah nakon Atine. Grad se nalazi na vrhu Solunskog zaliva.

Zamimljiva je priča o tome kako je grad dobio ime. Naime, veruje se da je osnivač grada kralj Kasandar, koji je ime gradu dao po svojoj supruzi Tesaloniki, polusestri Aleksandra Velikog. Tesalonikin otac, Filip Makedonski, ćerku je tako nazvao u čast pobede nad Tesalijcima, i zapravo se njeno ime, kao i ime grada baš tako i prevode – pobeda nad Tesalijcima.

Solun je bio pod vlašću raznih naroda – rimljana, mlečana, kao i turaka. Na kraju je, naravno, dodeljen Grčkoj.

Istorija Srba duboko je isprepletana sa ovim gradom. Srbi su od davnih dana u Solunu imali svoju školu, ali i svoju crkvu, i to na najlepšem mestu – blizu Bele kule. Za vreme Solunskog fronta grad je poprimio srpski karakter, zbog velikog broja Srba i njihovih institucija u njemu. U zapadnom delu grada nalazi se i srpsko vojničko groblje, Zejtinlik, sa pravoslavnom kapelom. Na ovom groblju sahranjeno je oko 7500 srpskih vojnika. Dakle, kao što vidite, Solun zauzima veoma značajno mesto srpskoj istoriji.

Solun je sa jedne strane grad moderne arhitekture, sa velikim trgovima i mnogobrojnim parkovima, a sa druge strane to je grad sa značajnim gradjevinama iz prošlosti, koje čuvaju uspomenu i sećanje na neka prošla vremena.

Naša poseta Solunu i nije bila baš zadovoljavajuća. Solun je na mene ostavio veoma loš utisak i moram priznati da se ne bih ponovo vratila u ovaj grad. Ulice su bile veoma prljave. Na glavnom trgu bilo je toliko smeća u crnim kesama, kao da se nalazimo na otpadu, a ne u centru jednog velikog evropskog grada. Nijedna stvar kod ovog grada me nije preterano oduševila niti ostavila pozitivan utisak na mene. Svakako ima i mnogo pozitivnih mišljenja o ovom gradu, jer kao što se kaže – ukusi su različiti! Pa izvolite, posetite ovaj grad i sami presudite.

Neke od najvažnijih znamenistosti koje vam preporučujem da posetite su:

🏢 Gradski Arheološki muzej

🚪Galerijeva kapija

🏰 Bela kula

🚏Aristotelov trg

⛪️ Crkva svetog Dimitrija

⛪️ Crkva svetog Djordja

Nadam se da vas moj tekst nije odvratio od ideje da posetite ovaj grad. Ukoliko želite, pišite mi o svojim utscima, kao i o tome koje ste znamenitosti posetili kada ste boravili u Solunu. 📩

Na oko 140 km od Beograda nalazi se grad Despotovac, a u njegovoj okolini možete posetiti mnogobrojne sadržaje koji su od velikog istorijskog i kulturnog značaja za našu zemlju i naš narod. U ovom tekstu daću vam tri predloga šta biste mogli da posetite i tako ulepšate sebi jedan vikend, obogatite svoje istorijsko i kulturno znanje i upoznate našu zemlju, koja je zaista predivna.

Manastir Manasija|Resava – Svakako prvo mesto medju ovim predlozima zauzima ovaj predivni sredjovekovni manastir izuzetne lepote, kako spoljašnje tako i unutrašnje. Manastir se nalazi na oko 140 km od Beograda i do njega možete doći kolima ili preko nekih organizovanih izleta.

Ovaj manastir pripada takozvanoj “Moravskoj školi”. Nastao je u 15. veku i zadužbina je despota Stefana Lazarevića. Čitav kompleks manastira ogradjen je visokim zidinama, koje su služile za odbranu. Čitava celina sastojala se od 11 kula, od kojih je najznačajnija poznata pod nazivom Despotova kula. Unutar zidina nalazi se crkva svete Trojice. Manastir Manasija rušen je i pustošen, ali i obnavljan više puta. Danas je Manasija ženski manastir.

Ukoliko budete u prilici obavezno posetite ovaj manastir jer je zaista gradjevina od velikog značaja za sve nas, gradjevina koja odiše istorijom, kulturom i izvanrednom lepotom!

Resavska pećina – Nalazi se na oko 155 km od Beograda, i na oko 20 km od manastira Manasije. Pećina se nalazi u predivnom okruženju i predivnoj prirodi.

Resavsku pećinu obilazite u organizovanoj turi sa vodičem, a obilasci počinju na svaki pun sat i traju oko 45 minuta. Za decu do 7 godina ulaz je besplatan, a odrasli plaćaju kartu 300 dinara. Temperatura u okviru pećine je uvek 7 stepeni, u bilo koje doba godine, tako da obavezno ponesite jaknu! Takodje vam preporučujem udobnu obuću, zatvorenu i koja se ne kliza (pod pećine je izuzetno vlažan i klizav sam po sebi!).

Za obilazak pećine uredjeno je ukupno 800 m, a tokom čitave ture vodič će vam skretati pažnju na bitne detalje. Možete fotografisati, ali bez blica naravno. Ukrasi unutar pećine su izuzetne lepote, a pričice vodiča veoma zanimljive. Svakako vam preporučujem da posetite ovu znamenitost ukoliko se nadjete u okolini, nećete zažaliti, verujte!

Vodopad Lisine|Veliki Buk – Nakon obilaska Resavske pećine put smo nastavili ka vodopadu Lisine, ili, kako ga neki još nazivaju, vodopadu Veliki Buk. Od Resavske pećine vodopad je udaljen oko 13 km, a ukoliko idete iz Beograda udaljenost do vodopada je oko 155 km. Predivna priroda i još divniji vodopad. Zaista pravi mali raj na zemlji.

Vodopad se nalazi na rečici Vrelo, na oko 380 m nadmorske visine. Ovaj vodopad dugo je smatran najvišim vodopadom u Srbiji, sa visinom od 25 m, sve dok nisu otkriveni vodopadi na Staroj planini.

U okolini ovog vodopada nalazi se veliki broj restorana u kojima se možete odmoriti, ručati i uživati u prirodi. Mi smo izabrali restoran koji se nalazi tik uz vodopade i izuzetno je prijatan osećaj, jer su tokom letnjih dana vrućine velike, a ručak uz sam vodopad je zaista osvežavajuć! Priroda ovog kraja zaista je zadivljujuća, prizori su nestvarni, a uživanje je zagarantovano!

Kao što ste videli, priroda Srbije zaista ostavlja bez teksta svakoga ko odluči da je istraži i posveti joj malo pažnje. Takodje, pored ova tri predloga, tu su i Jagodina sa svojim akvaparkom, manastir Ravanica, kao i mnoge druge lepote i zanimljivosti koje ovaj kraj Srbije nudi! Uživajte i pišite mi vaše utiske! 📩

Fruška gora je, osim po svojoj lepoti i čarobnoj prirodi, poznata i po svojim manastirima, koji ustvari predstavljaju njeno najveće bogatstvo.

Tokom 16. i 17. veka na teritoriji Fruške gore zabeleženo je 35 manastira, dok se danas u ovom predelu nalazi ukupno 16 manastira. Svaki od njih ima svoj istorijski i kulturni značaj. Od kada su nastali, pa do danas, svi ovi manastiri preživeli su velike muke – bili su pljačkani, rušeni i napuštani. Manastiri su najviše stradali tokom Drugog svetskog rata, a neki od njih su najveća oštećenja pretrpeli tokom NATO bombardovanja 1999. godine.

Obilazak ovih manastira veoma je pogodan za sve koji žive u Beogradu i Novom Sadu, kao i njihovoj okolini. Razlog je pre svega blizina ovih mesta Fruškoj gori. Od Beograda do Fruške gore se veoma brzo stiže i put je odličan. Ipak, do nekih manastira putevi su lošiji, pa je pogodnije da ove manastire obilazite tokom prolećnih i letnjih dana, kada nema kiše ili snega.

Sada ću vam kroz slike i malo teksta pokazati manastire koje sam ja posetila i dodati još neke zanimljivosti koje usput možete videti. Uživajte u nastavku teksta!

Mala Remeta – Ovaj manastir nalazi se na južno – središnjem delu Fruške gore, u istoimenom mestu. Značenje imena jeste “mala pustinja”. Manastir se vezuje za ime Stefana Dragutina. Manastir je više puta pretrpeo stradanja, a u trenutku kada smo ga mi obišli bio je u veoma lepom stanju, obnovljen i spolja i iznutra.

Jazak – Ovaj manastir nalazi se na južnim padinama Fruške gore, na potezu koji je poznat pod imenom Gradac. I ovaj manastir više puta je bio oštećen, a u njemu počivaju mošti cara Uroša. Danas je ovo ženski manastir. Zanimljivost vezana za okolinu ovog manastira jeste da se u njegovoj blizini nalazi istoimeni izvor vode, Jazak, koji takodje možete posetiti.

Vrdnička Ravanica – Neki ovaj manastir nazivaju i Vrdnik, a neki Mala Ravanica. Manastir se nalazi, kao što mu naziv i kaže, u Vrdniku. Kao i kod većine fruškogorskih manastira, tačan proces nastajanja je misterija, ali pretpostavlja se da je manastir nastao u 13. veku. U ovom manastiru počivaju komadi moštiju kneza Lazara, kao i mošti Teodora Tirona. Ovaj manastir jedan je od bogatijih medju fruškogorskim manastirima. Zanimljivost jeste da se manastir nalazi na teritoriji Vrdnika, koji je bogat raznim sadržajima. Ovde možete iznajmiti smeštaj i boraviti nekoliko dana. Tokom tog boravka možete obići Vrdničku kulu, prelepe bazene, vidikovac Zmajevac, kao i mnoge druge zanimljivosti.

Staro Hopovo – Manastir je smešten u istočnom delu Fruške gore, na oko 2 km udaljenosti od manastira Novo Hopovo. Manastir je osnovao Djordje Branković, krajem 15.veka. U okolini manastira nalazi se veoma lepa priroda, kao i šumski izvor koji možete posetiti. Ljubazni monasi ovog manastira će vas na to i uputiti.

Novo Hopovo – Ovaj manastir nalazi se u južnom delu Fruške gore, nedaleko od Iriga. Ovo je jedan od najpristupačnijih manastira na Fruškoj gori jer se nalazi na stotinak metara od magistralnog puta Ruma – Novi Sad. Nakon Prvog svetskog rata ovo je postao ženski manastir, a u njega su se doselile i ruske kaludjerice i izbeglice. Ovaj manastir više puta je stradao u toku ratova. Danas je Novo Hopovo muški manastir. Pored Krušedola, smatra se najvažnijim fruškogorskim manastirom.

Velika Remeta – Po mom mišljenju, ovo je najlepši fruškogorski manastir koji smo posetili do sada. Ovaj manastir se nalazi u istočnom delu Fruške gore i pripada opštini Irig. Ovaj manastir posvećen je svetom Dimitriju, a prema predanjima osnovao ga je kralj Stefan Dragutin. Nije izvesno kada je manastir tačno nastao, ali se pretpostavlja da je to bilo negde u 15. veku. Pored toga što je manastir izuzetno lepe arhitekture, njega krasi i predivno uredjen prostor ispred samog manastira. Tu se možete odmoriti na klupicama-pečurkama, uživati pored prelepe fontane i prošetati po predivno uredjenim stazama. Zaista ćete odmoriti i dušu i telo ukoliko se odlučite da posetite ovaj manastir. Slike će vam zapravo reći sve!

Krušedol – Ovaj manastir nalazi se na jugoistočnim obroncima Fruške gore. Manastir je osnovan u 16. veku, a njegovim osnivačem smatra se Vladika Maksim Branković. Manastir se sastoji iz dve celine – muškog i ženskog manastira. Ovaj manastir specifičan je po svojoj velelepnoj kapiji koja je upadljive crvene boje. Osim toga, sam manastir krasi izuzetna arhitektura. Ovo je jedan od najvažnijih srpskih manastira, a svakako i najvažniji fruškogorski manastir.

Ovo je bio kratak pregled fruškogorskih manastira koje sam ja posetila. Pored ovoga, možete posetiti i neke od sledećih manastira: Grgeteg, Vavedenja Presvete Bogorodice, Beočin, Bešenovo, Vranjaš, Svetih Arhangela, Šišatovac, Petkovica, Kuveždin, Divša, Privina Glava, kao i manastir Sveta Petka – Berkasovo. Svi manastiri su zaista izvanredne lepote i ogromnog kulturnog i istorijskog značaja za našu zemlju i naš narod, i bilo bi zaista lepo kada biste imali priliku da ih posetite. Na taj način ćemo najbolje upoznati i sačuvati našu istoriju. Jer, šta je drugo stub istorije, ako ne manastiri?

The Eiffel Tower is a metal tower built in 1889 as an exhibit for the World Exhibition to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. The tower was named after the engineer who designed it – Gustav Eiffel.

Today, the Eiffel Tower is Paris’s greatest landmark and it’s symbol. The Eiffel Tower is visited by about 5.5 million tourists annually.

The tower is 300 m high (324 m with a later installed antenna) and consists of a total of 3 floors, which can be reached in two ways – stairs and an elevator. The number of lifts in use is 7.

When you look at the tower from afar, it really looks fascinating. However, as you approach him, that impression is slowly diminishing. When you find yourself at the foot of the tower itself, you will see only a pile of iron and a building that is not as charming as it seemed at first. At least that’s my impression.

The tower makes a particularly good impression at night and you can then see it in full splendor. Every night the tower lights up in some color and it is truly a sight not to be missed.

As for the tower itself, the most important piece of advice I can give you is to arm yourself with patience, because the crowds are huge. And so it is at all times of the year. First of all, there is a queue to approach the entrance to the base of the tower. Here, the queue is again waiting to buy tickets, and then the queue for each lift, ie upstairs separately, is again waiting. When buying tickets, you choose whether you go all the way to the top of the tower with an elevator, whether you go on foot, ie stairs, or make a combination of the two ways (somewhat by elevator, and further on foot). The price of the ticket also depends on you, which is best checked on the spot, according to your wishes.

If you are in good shape, my advice is to walk to the top of the tower, because this is how you will enjoy the most and experience the size of this building.

You can also visit the restaurant at the top of the tower, and enjoy the magical view of Paris.

I will remind you again that there is a queue for each lift individually. So you can get to the first floor, then take a walk and rest, and then wait for the lift line that will take you to the second floor, etc. all the way to the top.

And when you climb to the top of the tower it looks like this….

I let the pictures speak for me from the top of the tower, and I will let you see for yourself what the experience and feeling is like. Everyone got a different impression.

As for my impression… Well, I am not thrilled with the tower. This is one of the few things I would not visit again when I returned to Paris. It is certainly wonderful when you reach the very top and see that beautiful Paris from such a great height, everything is so bright and shining, but then again there is the other side, which is that you have lost half a day waiting in different rows, and that you are you have come to this top of the tower almost too tired, and your return to the accommodation is still awaiting you. I think it’s too much effort to get to that one moment of beauty. But that’s just my impression.

I maintain my view that the beauty of the Eiffel Tower is precisely in our view of him from afar. And I gave the title to this article precisely because I experienced the tower in one way until I found myself at it’s bottom and in those huge lines, and then I completely changed my mind and view of this building. It is up to you to visit this landmark of Paris yourself and gain your opinion, which may be the exact opposite of mine, you never know! I have heard a number of conflicting comments, such as the fact that people admired the tower just when they saw it from close up. Tastes are diffrent.

Ajfelov toranj je metalni toranj sagradjen 1889. godine kao eksponat za Svetsku izložbu povodom proslave stogodišnjice francuske revolucije. Toranj je ime dobio po inženjeru koji ga je projektovao – Gustavu Ajfelu.

Danas je Ajfelov toranj najveća znamenitost Pariza i njegov simbol. Ajfelov toranj godišnje poseti oko 5,5 miliona turista.

Toranj je visine 300 m (324 m sa kasnije postavljenom antenom), a sastoji se od ukupno 3 sprata, do kojih možete doći na dva načina – stepenicama i liftom. Broj liftova koji su u upotrebi je 7.

Kada toranj gledate iz daleka, on zaista izgleda fascinantno. Medjutim, kako mu se približavate, taj utisak polako slabi. Kada se nadjete u podnožju samog tornja videćete samo gomilu gvoždja i gradjevinu koja i nije toliko očaravajuća kako vam se na početku činilo. Barem je to moj utisak.

Toranj naročito lep utisak ostavlja noću i tada ga možete videti u punom sjaju. Svako veče toranj svetli u nekoj boji i to je zaista prizor koji ne smete propustiti.

Što se same posete tornju tiče, najvažniji savet koji vam mogu dati jeste da se naoružate strpljenjem, jer su gužve ogromne. I tako je u svako doba godine. Pre svega se čeka red da se pristupi samom ulazu u podnožje tornja. Tu se zatim ponovo čeka red da se kupe karte, a nakon toga se ponovo čeka red za svaki lift, tj.sprat ponaosob. Prilikom kupovine karata birate da li idete skroz do vrha tornja liftom, da li idete peške tj.stepenicama, ili pravite kombinaciju ova dva načina (donekle idete liftom, a dalje peške). Od toga vam zavisi i cena karte, koju je najbolje da proverite na licu mesta, u skladu sa vašim željama.

Ukoliko ste u dobroj kondiciji, moj savet vam je da do vrha tornja idete peške, jer ćete tako najviše uživati i najbolje doživeti veličinu ove gradjevine.

Na samom vrhu tornja možete posetiti i restoran, i uživati u čarobnom pogledu na Pariz.

Napomenuću vam ponovo da se čeka red za svaki lift pojedinačno. Dakle, vi možete doći do prvog sprata, pa se tu prošetati i odmoriti, a zatim sačekati red za lift koji će vas odvesti do drugog sprata itd. sve do vrha.

A kada se popnete na sam vrh tornja to izgleda ovako….

O tome kakav je pogled sa vrha tornja pustila sam slike da govore umesto mene, a o tome kakav je doživljaj i osećaj pustiću vas da se sami uverite. Svako je stekao neki drugačiji utisak.

Što se mog utiska tiče… Pa, ja i nisam nešto previše oduševljena Ajfelovim tornjem. Ovo je jedna od retkih stvari koju ne bih ponovo posetila kada bih se vratila u Pariz. Svakako je predivno kada dodjete do samog vrha i vidite taj prelepi Pariz sa tako velike visine, sve tako lepo svetli i sija, ali opet je tu i ona druga strana, a to je da ste pola dana izgubili čekajući u raznim redovima, i da ste na taj vrh tornja došli gotovo preumorni, a da vas povratak u smeštaj tek čeka. Mislim da je to previše napora da bi se došlo do tog jednog trenutka lepote. Ali to je samo moj utisak.

Ja ostajem pri svom stavu da je lepota Ajfelovog tornja upravo u našem posmatranju na njega iz daleka. A sam naslov ovom članku sam dala upravo iz razloga što sam toranj doživljavala na jedan način sve dok se nisam našla u njegovom podnožju i u tim silnim redovima, a onda sam potpuno promenila mišljenje i pogled na ovu gradjevinu. Na vama je da i sami posetite ovu znamenitost Pariza i da steknete svoje mišljenje, koje će možda biti i potpuno suprotno od mog, nikad se ne zna! Čula sam veliki broj suprotnih komentara, poput onih da su se ljudi oduševli tornjem upravo onda kada su ga videli izbliza. Ukusi su različiti.

A da li ste vi nekada posetiti Pariz i obišli Ajfelov toranj? Koji su vaši utisci? Pišite mi! 📩

There is a big number of castles in France, each with it’s own historical significance and value.

In this article I will present to you the three castles I have visited, and there will certainly be many more in the future, as some have already made it to my must-see list.

Château de Versailles|Versailles Castle – This castle was the residence of many French rulers and is a significant item in French culture and history. The castle is located in Versailles, about 20 km from Paris.

At the beginning, you can take the appliance and headphones through which you can hear all the information you need about the castle. As you go from room to room, so you learn information about the location you are currently in, and this is very useful, because you also get to know the castle and the history of France and it’s rulers in some way. Also be sure to take a map, because the castle is huge, both inside and outside.

Versailles emerged as a hunting castle, and over time it was altered and remodeled, according to who lived and managed it. Thus, over time, one of the most beautiful castles in France and possibly the whole world was created. Within the walls of this castle lived about 6000 people.

The castle is adorned with numerous gardens, fountains and even a maze. The exterior of this castle leaves every visitor speechless. For hours, you can stroll through the gardens of this castle and revisit new things you haven’t seen before. So it’s good to take a castle map at the beginning.

As for the interior of the castle, it is also imposing. It contains a large number of rooms, each with its own history and importance. One of the most important rooms is the Gallery of Mirrors, in which the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, ending the First World War.

There are several smaller castles in the park of Versailles Castle: The Grand Trijanon, The Little Trijanon, as well as The Queen’s Village.

The history of Versailles is very extensive and I will write about it in more detail in a later article, because nevertheless this magnificent building deserves to have it’s own, independent story. What I would like to add, and what is important to you, is that the ticket price for adults is 20€, and if you want to include music fountains in the price, then the ticket price is 27€. These are prices per person, taken from the official website. Be sure to check the site before visiting, as ticket prices may change. The official site of Versailles Castle is http://en.chateauversailles.fr/plan-your-visit/tickets-and-prices. And while you are not visiting this wonderful place yourself, enjoy some more of my photos …

Château de Pierrefonds – This castle is located just under 100 km from Paris. Unfortunately, when we visited this castle, some works were underway, so we were unable to get inside, but it’s exterior left us speechless!

The castle is located on a hill and is one of those castles seen only in movies. It is imposing and magnificent, worthy of those of the greatest historical rulers. At least it made such an impression on me!

The castle was erected in the 14th century by Duke Louis of Orleans. The castle was then demolished in the 17th century, and it’s restoration was commissioned by Napoleon.

The entrance fee for this castle is 8€ per person, and for all persons under 18 years of age the entry is free of charge. Make sure you keep track of their site to stay up-to-date with all the necessary pricing, opening hours and more. Here is their site http://www.chateau-pierrefonds.fr/en/. And a few more pics are coming…

Château de Chantilly – The third castle I would single out, and in my opinion the most beautiful of the three, is Chantilly. This castle is located about 40 km from Paris.We also did not enter it because we wanted to focus on it’s exterior and the many amenities that are inside the courtyard of the castle itself. If it can be called a yard at all, considering that the exterior of this castle is incredibly large!

The castle consists of two buildings: Petit Château and Grand Château.The castle also has a gallery, gardens, gardens, fountains, lakes, as well as many other facilities. The exterior of the castle is perfectly arranged and the nature is mesmerizing. You can walk through the woods, sit by the lake and enjoy the view, hang out with beautiful swans, and of course create beautiful memories and photos.

U Francuskoj postoji veliki broj zamkova, a svaki od njih ima svoj istorijski značaj i svoju vrednost.

U ovom članku ću vam predstaviti tri zamka koja sam obišla, a sigurno će ih u budućnosti biti mnogo više, s obzirom na to da su se neki već uveliko našli na mojoj listi obaveznih putovanja.

Château de Versailles | Versajski dvorac – Ovaj dvorac bio je rezidencija mnogih francuskih vladara i predstavlja značajnu stavku u francuskoj kulturi i istoriji. Dvorac se nalazi u gradu Versaju, na oko 20 km od Pariza.

Na samom početku možete uzeti aparat i slušalice preko kojih ćete moći da čujete sve potrebne informacije o dvorcu. Kako idete iz prostorije u prostoriju, tako saznajete informacije o lokaciji na kojoj se trenutno nalazite, i ovo je veoma korisno, jer ujedno upoznajete dvorac, ali i istoriju francuske i njenih vladara na neki način. Takodje obavezno uzmite i mapu, jer je dvorac ogroman, kako njegova unutrašnjost, tako i spoljašnjost.

Versaj je nastao kao lovački dvorac, a vremenom je menjan i prepravljan, u skladu sa tim ko je u njemu živeo i ko je njime upravljao. Tako je vremenom nastao jedan od najlepših dvoraca u Francuskoj, a možda i u celom svetu. Unutar zidina ovog dvorca živelo je oko 6000 ljudi.

Dvorac krase mnogobrojni vrtovi, fontane, pa čak i lavirint. Spoljašnjost ovog dvorca ostavlja svakog posetioca bez teksta. Satima možete šetati vrtovima ovog dvorca i iznova nailaziti na nove stvari koje ranije niste videli. Zato je dobro na samom početku uzeti mapu dvorca.

Što se tiče unutrašnjosti dvorca, ona je takodje impozantna. Sadrži veliki broj prostorija, od kojih svaka ima svoju istoriju i svoju važnost. Jedna od najvažnijih prostorija je Galerija ogledala, u kojoj je 1919. godine potpisan Versajski ugovor, čime je i završen Prvi svetski rat.

U parku dvorca Vesrsaja nalazi se više manjih dvoraca: Veliki Trijanon, Mali Trijanon, kao i kraljičino selo.

Istorija Versaja veoma je obimna i o njoj ću pisati opširnije u nekom od narednih članka, jer ipak ova velelepna gradjevina zaslužuje da ima sopstvenu, samostalnu priču. Ono što bih još dodala, a što je vama i bitno, jeste to da je cena ulaznice za odrasle 20€, a ukoliko želite da u cenu budu uključene i muzičke fontane, u tom slučaju je cena ulaznice 27€. Ovo su cene po osobi, preuzete sa zvaničnog sajta. Pre posete obavezno proveriti sajt jer može doći do promene cene ulaznica. Zvanični sajt dvorca Versaja je http://en.chateauversailles.fr/plan-your-visit/tickets-and-prices. A dok sami ne posetite ovo predivno mesto, uživajte u još nekoliko mojih fotografija…

Château de Pierrefonds – Ovaj zamak nalazi se na nešto manje od 100 km od Pariza. Nažalost, kada smo posetili ovaj zamak, nekakvi radovi su bili u toku, tako da nismo uspeli da udjemo unutra, ali njegova spoljašnjost ostavila nas je bez teksta!

Zamak se nalazi na uzvišici i jedan je od onih zamkova kakvi se vidjaju samo na filmovima. Impozantan je i velelepan, dostojan onih najvećih istorijskih vladara. Bar je na mene ostavio takav utisak!

Zamak je u 14. veku podigao vojvoda Luj od Orlejana. Zamak je potom srušen u 17. veku, a njegovu obnovu naručio je Napoleon.

Cena ulaznice za ovaj zamak je 8€ po osobi, a za sve osobe ispod 18 godina ulaz je besplatan. Obavezno pratite njihov sajt kako biste bili u toku sa svim potrebnim informacijama o cenama, radnom vremenu i slično. Evo i njihovog sajta http://www.chateau-pierrefonds.fr/en/ . A stiže i još nekoliko sličica…

Château de Chantilly -Treći dvorac koji bih izdvojila, i po mom mišljenju najlepši od ova tri, jeste Chantilly. Ovaj dvorac nalazi se na oko 40 km od Pariza. U njega takodje nismo ulazili jer smo želeli da se fokusiramo na njegovu spoljašnjost i mnogobrojne sadržaje koji se nalaze unutar dvorišta samog dvorca. Ako se to uopšte može nazvati dvorištem, s obzirom na to da je spoljašnjost ovog dvorca neverovatno velika. Bolje bi bilo da to nazovemo posedom dvorca Chantilly.

Zamak se sastoji od dve gradjevine: Petit Château i Grand Château. Takodje se u posedu zamka nalaze i galerija, vrtovi, bašte, fontane, jezera, kao i mnogi drugi sadržaji. Spoljašnjost zamka uredjena je perfektno, a priroda je očaravajuća. Možete prošetati kroz šumu, sesti pored jezera i uživati u pogledu, družiti se sa prelepim labudovima, i naravno stvarati predivne uspomene i fotografije.

Cena ulaznice za ovaj zamak je 17€ po osobi, za odrasle. https://domainedechantilly.com/en/accueil/chateau/ – Na ovom sajtu možete naći sve informacije koje vas zanimaju i koje su vam potrebne. Broj slika koje sam napravila je veliki, a razlog je jednostavan – ovo mesto je čarobno i svaki njegov deo ostavio me je bez teksta! Ja ću pokušati da vam u nastavku prenesem lepote ovog mesta preko fotografija, ali vam ipak toplo preporučujem da posetite ovo mesto ukoliko ste u mogućnosti. Zaista se nećete pokajati! Uživajte u fotografijama…

Iskreno se nadam da ste uživali u ovom članku, a ukoliko imate nekih pitanja slobodno mi pišite! 📩 I naravno, ukoliko ste u prilici, posetite bar neki od ova tri dvorca, zasigurno se nećete pokajati!

Disneyland – One of the major tourist attractions in Paris and all around the world. To visit this place means to find yourself in a true fairytale! We have visited Eurodisneyland located in Paris, and as you may know, you can also visit this attraction if you find yourself in any of the following countries: China, Japan or America.

We got to Disneyland, about 35 km from Paris, by metro. You cannot miss the station you are going to because it is clearly marked. The name of the station where you go is Marne-la-Vallée, which is also the name of the place where Eurodisneyland is located. When we were at the entrance we had to choose which park we wanted to enter. There are two parks and Disney’s studio. A separate ticket is purchased for each of these three entities. So you can never go from one park to another with one map, so choose well which park to go to. Ask about it and decide before you get ahead of Disneyland itself. You have a list of attractions on their site and you can check which park you prefer, so you can decide which one to visit that day. And here is the link that will take you to their official site, where you can find all the necessary information https://www.disneylandparis.com/en-us/.

As for the purchase of tickets, we purchased them in advance, online, and we paid €50 per person. That’s the price of the ticket for 1 day and for 1 park! There was also an offer to buy a ticket for both parks for some €80 per person, which is really convenient, but we didn’t want to. We knew that it was impossible for us to visit both parks nicely, so we decided to visit only one park this time, and leave the visit to another park and Disney’s studio for another time. And the decision was right.

Note – Be sure to buy your tickets online before, as the prices at the entrance are pepper! Entrance fee was about €100 per person, for one day and one park!So, twice as expensive as we paid online.

The park itself is magical. As soon as you step on the gate the magic begins! On every corner are Disney’s heroes, beautiful flowers, magical homes and shops, everything is so colorful. Of course, you will pass through the gate of the famous castle and that is where it all begins.

Every detail is carefully edited, on every corner one can hear the music from the cartoons, everything is over and really justifies the price of the ticket.

Make sure you grab a map at the beginning to see where the attraction is. The park is huge and it would be good to start by looking at the map and deciding in which order to go so you don’t miss something and skip it. You can also use the trolley that runs throughout the park. With it, you can go around the first lap around the park to see where it is. The ride, of course, is free.

I will not write to you in detail what all the attractions can be visited, you can see for yourself on their site. Mostly there are many. Everything is beautifully organized in the form of entities, each with its own story. Let’s say Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Aladdin… Everything is arranged in the spirit of that cartoon and it’s heroes.

Of the interesting rides, I would like to single out this one in the Pirates of the Caribbean, Space mountain, and there are a little scarier rides like the Indiana Jones rollercoaster or Big Thunder Mountain. They are all exciting and interesting. In addition, you can visit the House of Fear, take a boat ride on an artificial lake, ride a carousel, and visit many other interesting attractions. There really are rides for all ages.

A very important thing to know is that there is a very large queue for each ride. We waited an hour for some rides (and that day wasn’t too crowded!). You can buy a fastpass card that allows you to stand in a separate queue with fewer people, and therefore less wait your turn for a ride. There are no rules, though. If you arrive that day when the crowd is huge and when a lot of people buy the same pass, it can also happen that you wait a long time to enter the ride even though you have purchased the pass. No one can guarantee it.

As for the meals for the day, as you can guess, restaurants within the park are much more expensive than usual. You can eat pizza, pancakes, meat, go for coffee or ice cream. Indeed the choice is wide. Every restaurant is really nicely decorated. But, I have more practical advice, and I certainly prefer it to eat at one of the fast food restaurants outside the park! We chose Mc Donald’s of course. You are free to leave the park and go to the area where fast food restaurants are located, and then return to the same park again. But be sure to keep your ticket with you otherwise you will not be able to return! Besides Mc Donald’s, there are some similar fast food restaurants, and they are certainly a cheaper option. Easy to find, these restaurants are located outside of both parks. Certainly when you leave the gate you actually have nowhere else to go, so you will surely reach them.

As for souvenirs, you can buy them at every corner. Souvenirs are sold at small shops and their prices are similar everywhere. I paid about 7€ for a small keychain with Disney’s heroes. Children’s things, T-shirts and sweatshirts, range from €20 and up. So much is the price of adult t-shirts. The famous caps and ears that everyone wears cost from €25 and up, depending on the model. You can also buy mugs, magnets, various toys featuring Disney characters, and the like.

Recommendation – For every tourist attraction in Paris, there are machines that insert 2€ coins, and for that money you get a coin that has a feature of that tourist attraction. A really interesting souvenir. Here’s what it looks like …

The end of the day in Disneyland is especially interesting. There is always a parade where all the Disney heroes go out and have their own show that is really fascinating. Evening at Disney’s Town brings with you the magic you’ve only seen in cartoons before. It’s all full of sparkle, song, positive energy and will make the end of your one-day adventure truly amazing. To make things even more magical, there is also fireworks that you can enjoy at the very end of the day.

It has always been my desire to visit Disneyland, and I will definitely come back to it sometime and maybe even visit all of Disney’s parks around the world. My wish came true and I have to tell you that Disneyland in live is much more interesting and beautiful than I imagined it to be. It is simply that magic must be experienced and felt, and in no way can it be transmitted to images. As you have noticed, I don’t have many pictures from this adventure of mine, because I spent most of the time looking at the details and admiring this marvel that is really hard to describe. So there was not much time and no need for taking pictures.

Another recommendation I would give you is to spend more days in Disneyland if you can. Yes, you can buy tickets for more days and more parks, so different combinations are there for those who have the time and money to afford it. And for those happiest with options, there are also Disney-style hotels where you can stay, which are truly magical and will make your experience complete and unforgettable!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it and that I was able to bring you at least some magic! ✨
