Albania is the most hospitable country in Europe

ALBANIA IS THE MOST HOSPITABLE COUNTRY IN EUROPE

The Republic of Albania is in Southern Europe in the Balkans, and its capital is Tirana. The head of state is the President, and the head of government is the Prime Minister. Albania is famous for its bunkers and has about 173,000 – 750,000 throughout the country, built by the former communist dictator. The country has many castles, archaeological sites, and its unique Albanian Alps. Albania is one of the ten poorest countries in Europe, but from my observation, it doesn’t appear this way. However, what stood out for me most about Albania was the affordable cost of food, accommodation, and transport and mainly their hospitality. Furthermore, the Albanian hospitality was so overwhelming I declare Albania is the most hospitable country in Europe, especially since I have been to all European countries save six of the fifty-one.

Luxembourg the Second Richest country in the world

12 Comments / Travel Advice/ Stories /

LUXEMBOURG THE SECOND RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

Luxembourg, also known as Grand Duchy, is a European country encompassed by France, Belgium, and Germany. Many years ago, I thought Luxembourg was a state in another country. However, as my travel knowledge grew, I realised it is a quiet, independent country and one of the world’s major financial and business centers and tax havens. Luxembourg is one of the smallest and the second-richest countries in the world. According to its GDP per capita, it is the second richest, if not the richest country in the world. It is also another one of the more expensive countries I have visited during my travels. However, compared to Switzerland, it is an average of 15% cheaper. Luxembourg is also the name of the country’s capital and is one of the safest, most peaceful, and cleanest countries/cities worldwide. Additionally, Luxembourg has some of the smoothest roads I have ever seen. Even in rural areas, they maintain the roads with proper signage and reflectors. Please continue reading to find out what’s it like to travel to Luxembourg the second richest country in the world.

What you should know before visiting Switzerland

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE VISITING SWITZERLAND

The federal republic of Switzerland is a small country in central Europe, and its capital is Bern (I am almost sure most people think it is Zurich). The city of Geneva is the headquarters of governmental and non-governmental organisations, and Zurich is the largest city and the economic, social, and cultural center of Switzerland. Switzerland has many mountains, small villages, alpine lakes, pristine farms, and grassland (this makes for happier cows and better quality dairy products). Also, what you should know before visiting Switzerland is that Switzerland is home to some of the best chocolates and cheeses. Consequently, it was one of the three reasons, besides visiting the alps, that I was excited to go.

Keep reading and I will disclose to you the reasons for my title, Italy – surprised by Rome Amazed by Florence.
