Paris

My second visit to the City of Light was even better than the first, and I know it’ll be an experience I’ll remember forever.

From exploring the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, seeing the incredible architecture around the city, and even seeing the city from above, there was always something exciting going on.

Paris is my favorite city, and I look forward to exploring it again in 2024, and, I’m sure, many more times in the future.

Here are some of my favorite photos from my second visit to Paris.

London

In 2019, I took a ‘Brother’s Trip’ to Europe, for the first time, and words cannot describe how incredible it was out there. During a nine day trip, my brother and I visited London, Berlin, and Paris.

I’ll post more about what it was like visiting each city, during the months to come. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite photos that I captured while in London.

25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon

Opened in 1966, the 25 de Abril Bridge crosses over the Tagus river to connect the city of Lisbon with the municipality of Almada.

During my trip to Lisbon in fall 2022, I had the opportunity to see the suspension bridge in person, and immediately noticed the similarities between it and the Golden State Bridge in San Francisco. 

Not only is the bridge open to car traffic, but it was also renovated to allow for trains to cross over the river as well.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan

Opened in 1877 AD, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is the oldest active mall/shopping gallery in Italy, and a landmark in Milan.

When visiting this past August, I was impressed by the incredible architecture, and the intricate detail of the building. Whether you’re there to shop, or just want to marvel at the architecture, the gallery is worth visiting, during your trip to Milan, Italy.

Here are some of the photos I captured if the structure.

Eiffel Tower in Paris

Completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower is one of the most popular structures in the world, and the most-visited in Paris. The Tower was designed by the French engineer, Gustave Eiffel, for the 1889 Universal Exposition in Paris.

I’ve had the opportunity to visit the Tower twice, and each time I was blown away by the sheer size of it. Pictures do not do it justice, as it’s even more amazing in person. It’s a must see for anyone traveling to Paris.

Here are some of the photos I captured of the Eiffel Tower.
