Travelling through Europe can sometimes seem like ticking boxes on an endless list of 'must-see' sites and travel guide recommendations.
The pressure to see everything properly becomes even more stressful when faced with a limited weekend stay, or just a few hours in one city.
With so much incredible art to explore and history to learn, it can be difficult to feel that all art and history is entirely represented in the most famous spaces. It's particularly pressing when entry to these spaces can leave you fighting through huge crowds or baulking at ticket prices.
Instead of succumbing to the pressure to do it all, it's far better to settle for doing something new, and out of the ordinary. Be it finding a hidden gem tucked away on a street corner or venturing to a space that satisfies your niche interest in cultural phenomenon.
