Innsbruck, Austria

One of my best friends lives in Eastern Austria. It is very complicated to see each other, because we don't always go back to Hungary at the same time, and the number of free days is limited. That is why we decided to meet on half way between Eastern Austria and Zürich. We choose the city of Innsbruck. Innsbruck is the capital of the federal state of Tyrol in Western Austria.

So, Saturday morning I drove to Innsbruck. It took me 4 hours to get there by car.
It is not a big town (120 000 inhabitants), but its historical center is relative big to its size. It is very pleasant to walk around among the baroque, classic, and traditional tiroler buildings. We even found some gothic monuments.
The arcitecture is already charming in itself, but the fact that the town is surrounded by almost 3000 m high mountains of the Tiroler Alps makes the complete view stunning, amazing and special.
Even if it is not a big city, it was full of life during the night, too. (In countries like Switzerland and Austria, generally, the nightlife is more hidden.) We found nice places to have a party. The restaurants were also good! I was really sad to return on Sunday. I will be always ready to go back!

Our trip to Köln, Germany

I already mentioned that it was my first time to Köln, and I didn´t know too much of the city. But it turned out to be a nice place. Despite the fact that 95% of its buildings were totally destroyed during the II. World War, it does have a charm. Only this cathedral that you can see on the pictures survived even if its total neighborhood was in ruins.
I would say that this church itself worth visiting Köln. It is amazing! Huge! Each square meters are laced or stuccoed. Compelling, impressive and astonishing.

There are a lot of parks and green areas in the city.

Of course, Germany is in football fever these days! :-)

We were the guests of a some friends. The husband is a doctor of physics and the wife is a fashion designer. They were incredibly friendly and charming with their 3 cute kids. We had a very good time!

They took us to a party at their friends place who is a big fun of arts. This statue greeted us at the entry of his home. Then I stopped taking pictures, I was too busy to get to know the actresses, photographers, musicians, professors, doctors and painters from everywhere who were there. 

It is difficult to say if it is because of the nice and interesting people we met, or because of the town itself, but we spent 3 magnificent days in Germany!

Next trip: Köln

On Saturday I am going to Köln in Germany to participate to a birthday party. The road trip is not short, so we decided to stay there for a couple of days.

To tell the truth, I don't know too much about the city and I am looking for information about the nice spots and interesting places in Köln.

I suppose it should be a nice place, there are people putting the city on their wall:

Does anybody know anything about Köln?

I went pink

I wanted our weekend in Italy to be romantic in many ways, so I decided to wear PINK in any circumstances. :-))) You can see the result here:

Hello! I came back from Italy! I am still a bit tired of the journey, so I plan to post much more later.  My soul is full of the fairy beauty I´ve seen there! Anyway, I share some pictures as an introduction.
