Portugal

This architect-led walk explores contemporary Porto for architecture and design enthusiasts — a city deeply respectful of its past, yet vibrant and modern, unafraid of change, grounded in the present, and open to the future.

The route begins at a seemingly modern rooftop garden that, surprisingly, is rooted in the city’s medieval history. From there, you stroll through Bombarda district — Porto’s gallery and contemporary art quarter, visit the site of the long-lost Crystal Palace, and explore key landmarks of 20th- and 21st-century Porto: the bold concrete span of Arrábida Bridge, the renewed Bom Sucesso Market — a reinterpretation of civic food space — and Casa da Música, the architectural icon of today’s Porto that redefined the city’s international design presence.

You then ride Porto’s metro system — itself a piece of contemporary infrastructure — before pausing over a porto tónico at a sophisticated bar to reflect on how design continues to shape the city’s everyday experience.

Rather than presenting Porto as a static museum of architectural styles, this architect-led tour invites you to experience the city as a living, evolving urban landscape — where infrastructure, public space, commerce, and cultural ambition intersect. Informed by the guide’s research on sense of place, the tour looks beyond individual buildings to explore the people, ideas, and social forces that shape them.

The focus is not simply on architecture, but on how Porto has negotiated transformation: adaptive reuse, civic reinvention, and contemporary design layered onto historic ground.

You gain a deeper understanding of what it means to live in the city today — riding the metro locals use, moving through a working market, and passing through a district where creative industries now gather. The tour offers insight into the forces behind design decisions — an understanding that is difficult to assemble independently without architectural training or local knowledge.

This is a spiritual and immersive storytelling experience that invites you into the mystical world of Sufism through music, narrative and spirituality. Set in a traditional riad, the evening unfolds in three parts: a guided lecture, a live Sufi music ritual, and an intimate dinner. This is an experience designed for the curious and contemplative. A rare chance to witness Morocco’s spiritual heritage.

The session begins with a storytelling session inspired by the scholarly gatherings of Ben Youssef Madrasa. A trained and knowledgeable storyteller will introduce themes at the heart of Moroccan Sufism—divine love (Ishk al Ilahi), wisdom (Hikma), being (Wujud), and the interplay of perfection and imperfection.

Following this, a female Sufi music ensemble performs Hadra rituals—an ancient, rhythmic spiritual tradition using chants and percussion to evoke presence and devotion. Eventually, you will continue the discussion with the storyteller in a warm, reflective setting.

This experience is modeled on the structure of traditional Sufi gatherings—where knowledge is shared through presence, rhythm, and intimate dialogue. It offers rare access to an authentic form of spiritual exploration shaped by Morocco’s centuries-old Sufi traditions. The evening begins with reflection and teaching, followed by the richness of Sufi music performed by a talented female Hadra ensemble from Marrakech—custodians of a sacred, rarely heard musical lineage. They lead abbreviated steps of a ritual once used to reach ecstatic states of divine connection—distinct from the more commonly heard Gnawa rhythms—and followed by the exquisite flavors of Moroccan cuisine.

This provides a supportive platform for female artists in the Sufi music scene, showcasing their interpretations of spiritual music. The integration of Sufi teachings and shared dialogue over dinner makes this a soulful journey—crafted for those seeking a deeper connection to Moroccan culture and spirituality.

Chile

This full-day architectural odyssey takes place in East Santiago. Diego, a professional architect, unravels the capital's modern history by exposing marvels that have shaped the contemporary identity of Chilean architecture. The sites visited are not part of the conventional tourist circuit—these buildings and sites reveal the deeper identity of Chilean architecture and culture at a higher level. 

Now home to some of Santiago’s most developed districts, this eastern zone began to consolidate in the 1960s under the garden city model. You will visit the Benedictine Monastery of Las Condes—a landmark of modern architecture—along with other contemporary works that engage with the natural landscape in energy-efficient ways, such as Vitacura's Tánica complex and the Patricia Ready Art Gallery. The outing includes lunch at Mestizo Restaurant, a walk through the Bicentenario Park, offering panoramic views of the district's skyline, and a viewpoint covering most sites visited during the tour.

This experience is a unique opportunity to access spaces that are not part of the typical tourist trail. By exploring the architectural identity of Las Condes and Vitacura, you are exposed to the modern face of Santiago—by one of those responsible for what stands in this basin between the mountains. 

Rather than focusing solely on individual works, Diego’s tour is conceived as a spatial narrative that unfolds in dialogue with the geographic and cultural landscape of Santiago’s valley. You will gain a rigorous understanding of how Chilean architecture engages with its natural environment, culture, and topography, while addressing contemporary challenges of urban growth and sustainability. Through curated visits, on-site discussions, and guided reflections, you’ll learn how the country’s most remarkable architectural works emerge from the tension between modern ideals and local realities—an approach that makes this journey both intellectually engaging and deeply rooted in place.

This experience walks the edge between history and imagination, following Dante Alighieri through a city that burned long before he cast it into verse. Florence in the Middle Ages was already a theatre of violence, plague, betrayals, and power struggles — Dante saw it all and made it eternal.

You’ll stop at the Duomo, where his best-known portrait still watches over the city, and the Battistero, the only church unchanged since his time. In Sant’Ambrogio, the memory of a children’s cemetery lingers, echoing the invention of Limbo. The alleys of his political quarter speak of exile and vendetta, while the Lungarni still carry the weight of lives and sins he condemned in poetry.

Each step brings you closer to the real city that became a blueprint for the Inferno — not a metaphor, but a mirror. Dante didn’t imagine hell. He lived in it. And in shaping it, he sealed Florence into the afterlife.

What sets this experience apart is its focus on the figure who shaped Italian literature and profoundly influenced how Florence is seen and remembered across the centuries. Dante Alighieri — known in Italy as il Sommo Poeta, the Supreme Poet — turned a city torn by plague, violence, and political strife into the timeless landscape of his Divine Comedy. This walk brings those verses back to the streets that inspired them, revealing a Florence both real and imagined.

You’ll follow a path through places tied to Dante’s life and fears, guided as much by literature as by history. The experience uncovers a lesser-known Florence — its medieval core, its lost cemeteries, its riverside scenes  — through lines that still burn with meaning.

Guido, a licensed guide with deep roots in Tuscany, brings rare insight to the experience. With care and precision, he weaves Dante’s world into the very streets of the city, making each stop resonate with both cultural depth and human intensity.

Walking Tour in Florence exploring Dante’s medieval Florence, his life, and the Inferno inspiration.

Walking into Dante’s Inferno

Full guidance.

A gelato break along the way.

You’ll meet Guido in Piazza dei Cerchi. He’ll wear a red t-shirt to be easily spotted, echoing Dante’s iconic red robe.

Guido Scattola is a licensed guide with over six years of experience bringing Italy’s cultural heritage to life. Born in Venice and raised in Tuscany, he found in Florence a city that captured both his heart and his curiosity. Since 2018, he has led visitors through its streets, museums, and quiet corners, sharing not only the grandeur of Renaissance art and architecture but also the subtle charm of the city’s lesser-known stories.

What makes Guido’s approach unique is his ability to balance the majestic with the intimate. Whether he’s guiding you through the opulent halls of the Medici, exploring the legacy of Dante, or unveiling the traditions behind Florentine fashion, he does so with contagious enthusiasm and deep knowledge. For Guido, every detail in Florence tells a story — and his passion lies in revealing how those stories weave together into something unforgettable.

In this full-day hiking tour, you start in the hills above Sarnadas, a rural village in the Algarve. Walk a 10-km circular trail through Serra do Caldeirão, a marked, undulating route through a region few visitors see. You pass orchards, dry stone walls, scrub and grazing paths. This is the meeting point of lowland and mountain — the Barrocal giving way to the Serra. Terraces cut into the schist and shale are shaped by generations of families. From the highest point, sweeping views open toward the Atlantic, offering a contrasting perspective between the countryside and coast.

After the hike, sit down in a village restaurant. Seasonal dishes. Local produce. Tables close together. The welcome is warm, informal, unhurried because it is simply how things happen here in rural Portugal.

In the afternoon, visit a small workshop where esparto grass is prepared and woven by hand. Local artisans demonstrate an ancestral craft rooted in the agricultural past of this region.

Most visitors stay near the Algarve’s beaches. This day moves inland, into Serra do Caldeirão, where small villages and agricultural rhythms continue outside the main tourist circuit, on terrain defined by soil and slopes. The hills — you soon realize — are not scenery but livelihood. The slopes you walk provided resilient esparto grass — a plant suited to hot, rocky ground for rope, baskets, tools, and everyday objects used in local households over generations. Today, only a handful of artisans continue the work of making. In the workshop, you see the fiber prepared and braided by hand, and you make a small piece yourself.

Joana Almeida was raised here in a family of biologists, she understands the geology, flora and fauna — and she knows the people and their stories. She explains how land, labor, culture and craft remain connected. Lunch in the village is part of the same system. Landscape, food and making are held together. Conversations unfold easily when community is present. 

After the morning hike, you sit down in a local village eatery for a traditional Algarvian lunch. The setting is informal and unhurried, shaped by the rhythms of the community rather than visitor schedules. The menu follows regional recipes and seasonal availability. Dishes reflect inland Algarve traditions — ingredients sourced locally and prepared in ways that have remained consistent across generations. Meals are served simply, in a space where neighboring tables may be filled with residents. This pause allows time to rest, talk to Joana, reflect on the landscape you’ve crossed, and experience rural life as daily routine.

The meal takes place in a working village where agriculture, seasonal rhythms, and community ties remain active. The flavors on the plate are tied directly to the terrain walked in the morning — soils that support orchards, small-scale farming, and grazing. Eating here situates the hike within lived context. The setting creates space for conversation. The experience of the Algarve shifts to participation, even in something as simple as lunch. Food, land, and community are part of the same system.

At the Village Table

This stage begins with a 10-km circular hike through the Algarve’s Barrocal landscape, the limestone belt that separates coastal plains from the Serra do Caldeirão. The terrain undulates gently, rising from orchards and dry stone walls into rolling hills marked by scrub, grazing paths, and exposed rock.

As you walk, you cross ground shaped by geology and agricultural use. Thin soils, terraced plots, scattered farmhouses. Seasonal blooms and hardy Mediterranean vegetation follow rainfall patterns and heat. The route gradually climbs to a ridge where, on clear days, the Atlantic appears beyond inland slopes — a reminder of how closely coast and mountain coexist in this region.

This is not a summit hike but a landscape walk, offering sustained views and physical immersion in the inland Algarve.

This is the Barrocal in interior Algarve — a lesser-known ecological and geological transition zone that defines how the region functions beyond its beaches. Walking here reveals how limestone and schist shaped settlement patterns, agriculture, and movement across the hills. Dry stone walls are not decorative; they hold thin soil in place. Orchards exist where water collects. Grazing follows slope and season.

With Joana, raised nearby and trained through years of field experience, the terrain, flora and fauna are expertly interpreted. The walk becomes a way to understand how geology, vegetation, and human adaptation remain interlinked in the Algarve’s interior.

Across the Barrocal Ridge

In the afternoon, you visit a small workshop where local artisans introduce you to the traditional craft of working with esparto — a resilient native grass long used across southern Portugal for both utilitarian and decorative objects. You learn how the fibers are prepared, softened, and braided by hand. The techniques are practical and rooted in daily necessity, developed over generations in rural communities where esparto supplied rope, baskets, mats, and tools. Under guidance, you create your own simple piece, following the same manual gestures that once sustained local households.

Esparto weaving is part of the Algarve’s rural past, but it survives today through a small number of practitioners who continue the craft outside industrial production. The material itself reflects the terrain you have walked — a plant suited to dry, rocky slopes and Mediterranean heat. The workshop completes the day’s sequence: landscape in the morning, village life at midday, craft in the afternoon. The experience is tactile and immediate, connecting hand, material, and place.

Joana Almeida, your guide, is a native of Loulé whose deep connection to nature was shaped by her upbringing in a family of biologists. With years of field experience and a strong commitment to conservation, she leads you through the landscapes of the Algarve with informed insight into its flora, fauna, and geology. Beyond the natural setting, Joana also brings attention to the human dimension of the region — its rural traditions and craftsmanship — helping you understand how nature and culture intertwine, particularly through practices such as esparto weaving that remain part of the Algarve’s living heritage.

Argentina

Feast on classic Argentine pastries and hearty mains in this culinary odyssey of Palermo Soho, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires where life orbits around dining, the arts, and good times. With so many restaurants vying for your attention, this curated food tour from a porteño skips past the tourist traps and focuses on the spots loved by locals.

This gourmet walking tour is divided into approximately seven tasty segments. Upon meeting your host, Carlos, you will cruise bakeries, cafes, restaurants, and ice cream parlors with tastings at the spots that take your fancy. Carlos has cherry-picked his favorite places to eat and imbues his excursion with cultural commentary and personal tales from his own experiences working in restaurants alongside his father, a prolific Argentine chef. The experience plays out as a walking tour with food stops punctuated by stops at plazas, parks, and boutiques. Needless to say, a healthy appetite is a must, and sharing dishes enhances your experience. 

This culinary jaunt around Palermo Soho is an authentic exploration of Argentine and porteño flavors. Carlos introduces you to the culinary delights of the "Paris of South America" while providing context to each bite. While grazing on empanadas, chomping on sandwiches de miga, gnawing into prime cuts of steak, and nursing a Fernet digestif, Carlos will share tidbits about the history of these staples and how they have evolved.

The itinerary loosely mimics a seven course dining experience. After whetting your appetite over a hors d'oeuvre of chipás or medialunas, you'll move onto an appetizer of choripan washed down with a beer. Empanadas serve as the perfect starter before sitting down to feast on Argentine steak or milanesa. Opt for a refreshing gelato palate cleanse before concluding the experience over alfajores and coffee. We recommend sharing as many dishes as possible to maximize the tasting potential.

A large appetite.
Comfortable footwear; this is a walking tour. 

Meet Carlos in Plaza Armenia in the Palermo Soho District of Buenos Aires. Carlos will provide the exact meeting point in the square via Fernwayer Chat post booking.

With Spanish, Italian, and German lineage, Carlos is a third generation Porteño (local of Buenos Aires) and the son of one of the city's most prominent chefs. Exploring the culinary delights of Buenos Aires with Carlos doesn't just mean eating and drinking; you'll absorb art, music, architecture, history, and culture along the way and come to understand how these topics are linked. He'll share medley of anecdotes from his experiences working in restaurants alongside his father—from Buenos Aires to Bariloche.

Not only is Carlos a professional guide but he is also an avid traveler who understands the mindset of epicurean adventurers. 

This 10-day Morocco journey begins and ends in Marrakesh, unfolding through coastal Essaouira and the High Atlas Mountains in between. From artistic neighborhoods and sensory rituals to ocean air and mountain trails, this itinerary invites you to see Morocco not just as a destination but as a series of living moments, each led by chefs, photographers, artisans, and storytellers.

You will take part in Sufi evenings, hands-on cooking, contemporary gallery visits, and village walks. Every stop balances exploration and stillness, allowing time to absorb, connect, and be moved by Morocco’s many layers, from rooftop views to mountain paths, from hammam steam to handcrafted silver.

DAYS 1-2 – MARRAKESH | Ease into the journey with Amanda’s Courtyard Kitchen, a warm welcome into Moroccan cooking set in a private home. Visit El Badi Palace on your own before an immersive evening of Sufi presence with live Hadra music and shared dinner. The next day focuses on the city’s creative energy. Begin with a guided art tour and curator-led meet-up at Comptoir des Mines Galerie. Spend the afternoon in Gueliz, Marrakesh’s modern district, to visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and Jardin Majorelle, spaces that blend color, fashion, and legacy.

DAY 3 – MARRAKESH TO ESSAOUIRA | Begin the morning with A Thousand and One Crafts, a guided walk through the artisan medina of Marrakesh. After lunch, travel west through argan country toward the coast. Essaouira is directly west of Marrakesh, a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, a straight shot to the Atlantic. It offers a gentle and relaxed pause after the intensity of Marrakesh. Arrive before sunset and take in the sea breeze.

DAYS 4-5 – ESSAOUIRA | Capture the spirit of Essaouira with Framed Essaouira, a full-day photography tour that reveals the city’s light, rhythm, and intimate angles. On the following day, dive deeper into craftsmanship with Jewelry Makers of Essaouira, a quiet and inspiring look into workshops that keep Moroccan silversmithing alive.

DAY 6 – ESSAOUIRA TO ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Today is a long but beautiful transfer from the Atlantic coast to Imlil in the High Atlas Mountains. As the terrain shifts, so does the pace. By sunset, you will be surrounded by peaks and valleys, far from city sounds.

DAYS 7-8 – ATLAS MOUNTAINS | Walk the Mule Tracks of Aremd, a soft yet panoramic hike that threads through the hills and villages near Imlil. The following day, go deeper with The Quintessential High Atlas, a guided trek that brings you into the life and rhythm of the mountains.

DAY 9 – ATLAS TO MARRAKESH | Begin your day with The Salt Route of Marigha, a scenic walk through argan groves and salt flats. Then, return to Marrakesh for your final evening. The shift from mountain quiet to city color makes this arrival feel like a reawakening.

DAY 10 – MARRAKESH | Close your journey with Art Beyond Borders, a guided look at contemporary art in Marrakesh. Enjoy one last rooftop, one last mint tea, and one last story before heading toward your next chapter, carrying Morocco’s echoes with you.

It begins with design and architecture in Chile’s capital, followed by coastal color along the Pacific, before turning toward the Andes for one of South America’s most iconic mountain crossings.

After border formalities, you arrive in Mendoza by early evening and settle into your new base.
DAY 5 – MENDOZA WINE AND CRAFT | The morning begins with a guided wine and olive oil experience in the Mendoza countryside, combining tastings with a relaxed seasonal lunch.

Spend the night in a mountain refuge and descend the next day with the stillness of the mountains etched into your memory.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina.

Fes moves at the pace of intention—through hands that craft, stories that endure, and streets that remember. This four-day itinerary is designed to experience the city not from a distance, but from within. It’s a journey built on conversation, tradition, and daily rituals that still carry meaning.

The third day opens at the Nejjarine Museum, tracing the arc of wooden craftsmanship. Then comes a deeper look at Berber culture—through healing traditions, bread-making, and domestic arts practiced for generations. These aren’t performances—they’re living legacies, generously shared.

Your final day moves toward the future, exploring how traditional forms evolve in contemporary Fes. A visit to the Merenid Tombs offers a high, quiet view over the city, framing what you’ve just lived through: not a list of sites, but a rhythm of presence.

With the right rhythm, it’s possible to feel the city’s contradictions and connections—its political weight, its everyday rituals, and its emotional expression through dance. This tightly curated journey is for travelers passing through, but curious enough to look deeper. In just a few hours, you’ll move from monuments to mate to milonga—each one revealing a different heartbeat of Argentina.

One Day in Buenos Aires

Fernwayer’s perfect one day in Buenos Aires blends politics, mate tradition, and tango after dark.

Athens is a place where ancient history and everyday life meet at every corner. From marble ruins to modern murals, the city is layered with memory, myth, and movement. This three-day itinerary invites you to experience Athens not as a checklist of monuments, but as a living conversation between past and present. Through guided encounters, sensory discoveries, and sacred pauses, each day opens a different door to the city’s many lives.

DAY 1 – HISTORY IN GRAFFITI AND STONE | Begin in Kerameikos, Gazi, and Psyrri, where the streets pulse with creativity and protest. The Urban Canvas of Athens takes you through layers of mural, message, and meaning, ending with a hands-on workshop and a piece of your own to carry home. Then head to the National Museum of Contemporary Art to explore bold works that question the narratives of history. End the day at the Acropolis, but from a different angle: walking the lesser-seen paths of the hill that shaped the Western world. As the sun sets, dine at Point A with the Parthenon glowing above.

DAY 2 – MEALS, HILLS, AND MOONLIGHT | Start your morning at the Varvakeios Market for a cooking class with a Greek local, learning to craft gyros and taste your way through spices, olives, and cheese. After lunch, wander through the hidden village of Anafiotika and climb Filopappou Hill for sweeping views of the city. Let the evening unfold with Under the Athenian Sky, an open-air cinema experience filled with conversation, food, and the quiet glow of Athens by night.

DAY 3 – RITUALS AND REVERENCE | Your final day brings you into rhythm with something older. In Ilioupoli, Cultivating Gratitude offers a guided ritual rooted in Demeter’s myth, the harvest, and the practice of reflection. Later, pause in the shade of the National Garden and witness the changing of the guards at Syntagma Square. End in Piraeus with Rebetiko, Red Lights, and the echo of old sailor songs. Between bites and melodies, you’ll feel the weight of memory, celebration, and time.

This journey is not about rushing ruins. It’s a curated immersion, shaped by texture, taste, silence, and spark. You’ll leave Athens not just with photos, but with a piece of the city imprinted on your pace, your palate, and your way of seeing. Three days in Athens. One city. Countless echoes.

WHERE TO STAY IN ATHENS | When it comes to where to stay, Athens offers neighborhoods for every travel style. Plaka is charming and close to ancient sites, while Psyrri and Exarchia are full of life, street art, and cafés. For a quieter stay with Acropolis views, Koukaki is a great base. And if you’re looking for sea breeze and space, consider Piraeus for a local feel near the coast. Choose what fits your rhythm.

Greece

Athens in Three Acts

3 days in Athens exploring art, cuisine, the acropolis of Athens, Greek traditions, and rebetiko.

From the iconic Dubrovnik walls to the calm waters of Banje Beach, this three-day journey invites you to explore the city’s rich heritage and coastal beauty at your own pace. Walk through centuries of history, taste traditional Croatian food in atmospheric Old Town restaurants, and end your days with a golden boat ride in Dubrovnik’s shimmering bay.

DAY 1 – CITY WALLS AND FORTRESS | Begin your trip with a morning walk along Dubrovnik’s city walls. This 1.2-mile loop offers sweeping views over rooftops and sea, with countless photo moments along the way. For lunch, head to Proto Fish in the Old Town, known for its elegant terrace and fresh Adriatic seafood. In the afternoon, visit War Photo Limited, a striking gallery that documents human conflict through powerful photography. Continue to Lovrijenac Fortress, perched just outside the city walls, where stone stairs lead to panoramic views and centuries of defense history. In the evening, join a culinary walking tour led by locals. You’ll taste traditional dishes, hear family stories, and explore the city’s flavors through its oldest streets.

DAY 2 – BEACH, MOUNTAIN, AND SEA | Spend the morning at Banje Beach, just outside the Old Town gates. Swim in clear water, relax with a book, or simply take in the view of the city rising above the bay. After a midday break, make your way to Mount Srđ. Whether you hike or take the cable car, the view from the top is unforgettable, with wide horizons stretching over Dubrovnik and the coast. As the sun begins to set, step aboard a boat for a sunset cruise along the shoreline. The city glows behind you as the boat glides past islands and cliffs, closing the day on the water.

DAY 3 – MONASTIC AND BAROQUE HERITAGE | Start your day at the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries, two of Dubrovnik’s most historic sanctuaries. These calm, beautiful places are filled with carved cloisters, quiet chapels, and traces of centuries past. For lunch, walk to Konoba Kopun, a small square near the Jesuit steps where traditional Dalmatian recipes are served with care. In the afternoon, explore Dubrovnik Cathedral, a baroque landmark filled with light, then visit the Rector’s Palace, once the seat of power in the Republic of Ragusa. As your final experience, leave the city behind and visit Trsteno, a coastal village known for its historic gardens. A guided walk and picnic offer a quiet, green farewell to your time in Dubrovnik.

WHERE TO STAY IN DUBROVNIK | If you want to be in the heart of it all, stay inside the Old Town. It’s full of charm but also crowds and stairs. For more space and sea views, choose neighborhoods like Ploče or Lapad just outside the walls. Both offer easy access while giving you a peaceful place to rest.

La Serenissima to Modern Milan

10-day itinerary in Italy through Venice, Bologna, Milan, a mix of culture, cuisine, scenic beauty.

This Milan itinerary is sleek, elegant, and curated — the perfect expression of Milanese sophistication across architecture, design, fashion, and food. It’s about Milan as it’s truly lived: designed, composed, and always in conversation with its past and future.

Milan is precision with personality—a city where modern lines meet Renaissance texture, and where fashion, architecture, and food are expressions of the same pursuit: style with substance. This three-day itinerary moves through that balance with intent, beginning in the geometry and vision of Gio Ponti’s architectural legacy. From the Pirelli Tower to lesser-known gems, the morning reveals how Milan’s skyline was shaped not just by ambition, but by design thinking.

The afternoon shifts to the Navigli District—Leonardo da Vinci’s hand in its canals, but today, the flow belongs to artists, gallery owners, and baristas. You’ll wander cobbled paths, stop for an aperitivo, and settle into a slow dinner at Osteria Conchetta, where Milanese cuisine is served without pretense but full of detail.

Day two leaves the city for the lakes. A curated visit to Lake Como weaves together water, stone, and stillness. At Villa del Balbianello and through the towns of Como and Bellagio, nature is never separate from design—it’s framed by it. This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s about atmosphere. Scale, silence, villas on cliffs. Beauty at rest.

On your final day, the focus returns to Milan with a walk through Brera. Here, art meets appetite—small galleries, curated boutiques, and a lunch scene that respects tradition while playing with it. The afternoon brings you to Castello Sforzesco and its layered museums, followed by a pause in Sempione Park—green space as counterbalance. And finally: dinner at Tartufotto, where truffle meets elegance in the heart of the city.

Milan in Form and Flair

3-day itinerary in Milan with Gio Ponti's landmarks, Lake Como villas, Brera art, truffle-laced food

This 3-day Marrakesh itinerary is textured, elegant, and sensory—a journey through art, craft, taste, and tradition. It offers a lens into the city’s creative pulse—not just as a visitor, but through the eyes of artists, chefs, and cultural storytellers who shape its rhythm. Expect curated encounters, intimate spaces, and a balance of guided immersion and reflective stillness.

DAY 1 – ART & DESIGN LEGACIES | Begin with Conversation with an Artist, a guided visit to Comptoir des Mines Galerie and dialogue with a local artist shaping Marrakesh’s present. In the afternoon, explore the creative legacy of the Musée Yves Saint Laurent and wander the vibrant paths of Jardin Majorelle, where color, form, and botanical design meet in quiet harmony. End the day with dinner in a traditional riad—an atmospheric welcome to the city.

DAY 2 – SACRED RHYTHMS AND FLAVORS | Start early with Order of the Golden Triangle, a meditative walk through sacred geometry and spiritual symbolism in the old city. After lunch, explore the souks through the narrative lens of Heart and Souk in Marrakesh, then immerse yourself in Moroccan hospitality at Tasting Morocco, a hands-on experience at the Amal Center. As the sky turns golden, head to a rooftop above Djemaa El-Fna, where the city’s sights and sounds rise with the call to prayer.

DAY 3 – CRAFTS & CONTEMPORARY SPACES | Begin the day with A Hub of Moroccan Makers, a guided studio tour that introduces you to local artisans and their creative process, from traditional techniques to modern design. Afterward, take a quiet walk through the gardens of La Mamounia or spend time at your own pace. In the evening, enjoy a relaxed dinner at Le Jardin, a courtyard restaurant tucked in the heart of the medina.

WHERE TO STAY IN MARRAKESH | Marrakesh offers a wide range of places to stay, but for a more immersive experience, choose a traditional riad tucked inside the Medina. These restored courtyard homes combine intimacy, beauty, and local hospitality — many just steps from the city’s main sites. For more space and calm, Gueliz and Hivernage offer boutique hotels and stylish guesthouses near gardens, cafés, and galleries. Or opt for a retreat on the city’s edge, where palm groves and desert light invite pause.

Marrakesh, Seen Through Art

3 days in Marrakesh exploring Moroccan art, creativity, cuisine, and timeless design.

Spend the afternoon exploring two of Dubrovnik's historic and photo-worthy sites: the Franciscan Monastery and the Dominican Monastery.

Start with the Franciscan Monastery, located near the Pile Gate. This serene spot offers a quiet retreat from the city's bustle. The monastery's peaceful cloister, featuring Romanesque-Gothic architecture and a beautiful central garden, is a highlight for photographers. Don't miss the Old Pharmacy, one of the oldest functioning pharmacies in Europe, which offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. You can comfortably explore the Franciscan Monastery in about 45 minutes to an hour.

Next, head to the Dominican Monastery, situated near the Ploče Gate. This monastery, with its impressive Gothic-Renaissance style, houses a stunning collection of art and artifacts. The cloister, adorned with arches and lush greenery, provides a perfect setting for reflection and photography. The monastery's museum showcases works by local artists, offering insight into Dubrovnik's rich cultural heritage. Plan to spend another 45 minutes to an hour here.

Both sites can be seen in around two hours, providing a peaceful and enriching experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the history and beauty of Dubrovnik.

Monasteries Dubrovnik Old Town

Yves Saint Laurent gifted Jardin Majorelle to Marrakech, the city that adopted him and his partner in the 60s. They bought an electric-blue villa and its garden, preserved the vision of its original owner (landscape painter Jacques Majorelle), and opened it to the public. 

What makes this feel like a psychedelic mirage in the desert?

Hot pink bougainvillea bursting from terracotta planters. Architectural cacti in lemon-yellow planters. Bamboos growing against cobalt-blue walls. Colorful birds flitting through palm trees. Saint Laurent’s gorgeous collection of Moroccan art, that I totally covet. 

It also has a museum that features jewelry in a setting that our guide Khadija keeps referring to as “a dream”. A dark room with a star-spangled ceiling and low voltage spotlights shining on stunning jewelry sets.

Khadija’s right. Please let all my dreams be like this place.

Psychedelic Mirage
