France - Paris

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

By @ziabroad

Despite the fire, Notre-Dame remains a symbol of Paris. Cathedral is temporarily closed but even if you can’t go inside, the exterior and the surrounding area are worth a visit. If you take a walk around it you can take some photos of the stunning architecture.

Address: 6 Parvis Notre-Dame - Pl. Jean-Paul II, 75004 Paris, France

About @ziabroad

Hi, I’m Zia! For over 10 years, I’ve been passionate about travel and uncovering Europe’s hidden gems. I love inspiring others to see the world differently, whether through budget-friendly adventures or off-the-beaten-path discoveries. To truly connect with a place, I like to let its sounds tell me their own stories. And when in doubt, I always turn to the best travel guide: the locals. My favorite question ? ‘If you had one free day here, where would you go?’

Vilnius, Lithuania

Vilnius Cathedral

This is one of the city’s most iconic buildings on an old pagan temple site with 11 side chapels, and its classical architecture is beautiful both inside and out. I joined a guided tour of the crypts beneath the cathedral, and it was fascinating to learn about the past rulers and saints tied to this place. If you’re interested in history, I highly recommend booking the tour in advance. It’s a peaceful and impressive spot that really showcases the city’s rich history.

Reykjavík, Iceland

Hallgrimskirkja

This modern cathedral was consecrated in 1986. It has a 73 meters tower (you need to pay to go up to the top). The interior is beautiful, but modest in comparison.

Hallgrimskirkja

Reykjavík’s iconic church and the city’s best viewpoint. Designed to echo Iceland’s basalt columns and mountain forms. Completed in 1986 and visible from almost everywhere in town. ⛪️

Barcelona, Spain

Parròquia de Sant Pacià

In Sant Andreu you find a quiet neo-Gothic church with an early work by Antoni Gaudí at your feet. Joan Torras Guardiola designed the church and asked his former student to draw the floor mosaic. It runs along the central nave and transept with floral and geometric motifs and the initials J and M from the original convent school.

Hallgrimskirkja

Beautiful iconic church, free entry to see the interior with its magnificent organ. Its unique design is inspired by Iceland’s basalt lava columns, lines that rise like rock. There’s northern lights inspired lighting on Sunday nights, colors on the walls, incredible. Easy stop in the city center. ⛪️
