Use-it.travel. — 8 р. We live a city more beautiful than you can believe, less expensive than you can fear, with more history than it can remember or that is able to tell. Milan. In Milan, for example, we have some of the cleanest water in Italy and there are hundreds of cute little drinking fountains.
Use-it.travel. — 8 р. The most precious experience here is not hidden in the old castles, churches or the faded buildings from Soviet times. It is also not in the futuristic architecture of recent years. It is in Georgian people! If you want to act like a local, you should experience a supra: a traditional Georgian dinner with a large gathering of family and friends, based on the...

On one side, you find the sea - were used to sea bathing in the city even if we don't have many beaches. On the other side is the mountain Carso, going from 0 to 1.796 meters above sea level in few kilometers! Its also the best place to taste different flavours made by locals in the...
Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Of all the historical cities in Belgium, this is where bars, shops and clubs get 'in' and 'out' most quickly. Hip today, gone tomorrow. Antwerp is all about fashion, design, music jams, cocktails, record labels, and spending your money on a sunny terrace. Instead of drinks, you can also spend all your money on clothes first, and get free drinks later because...

In Bologna there are so many bycicles that sometimes you'll think you're in Northern Europe. In Bologna there are also many dogs, and their corresponding owners. Sometimes, in Bologna you feel...
Use-it.travel. — 8 р. A bourgeois city falling asleep at sunset, inhabited by unsympathetic rich drunkards who prefer to stay at home. Wait, is it Bordeaux we're talking about? No way. She used to be called «the sleeping beauty» but has since awaken well and truly. In all seasons, cafes bloom, restaurants flourish and new places sprout like mushrooms. Bordeaux is now beautiful,...
Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Brno is a dynamic student´s city with a fresh and vibrant pulse. Apart from the usual historical monuments, it offers many festivals, some of which are totally unknown. But that's what we love about them. During the sunny days people lie down in parks, smoke water pipes, drink wine or beer and chat about the meaning of life. Alternatively, they do the same in...
Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Brussels is the capital of Europe, but we didn't know that when we started to build it. You'll encounter a strange mix of skyscrapers and small curving streets, where everybody gets lost, including the Belgians who are not from Brussels. Brussels provides everything that you expect from a real city: busy traffic, an underground art scene, eccentric old...

Dresden is packed full of historic sights: a unique, world-famous baroque quarter; the notorious Church of Our Lady; and museums which rival the most splendid in Paris and Madrid. And behind the great scenery and tradition, Dresden is a wild pot-pourri of modern culture and natural beauty. Art and handicraft meet punk and hippie culture north of the river in...

Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Small enough to reach everything by bike in almost half an hour, big enough to cater for different tastes and interests - Graz is a city with just the right size. The river „Mur" flowing right through the city makes it as special as the tiny mountain „Schloßberg" with the town's landmark "Uhrturm" (Clocktower) up there. Nearly every fifth person is a student...
Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Guimarães was the birthplace of the first King of Portugal and first capital of country. Because of that, the most popular name for boys is still Afonso (the name of the King), and a recently made up "traditional" dish involves meat served in a sword (the king was a conquerer, you see?). The old town is beautifully frozen in the Middle Ages, full of really...
Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Three words: beer, bars and students. Leuven is the hometown of Stella beer, one of the biggest in the world. We say that a Stella still tastes best in Leuven (this is not true, but it's a nice lie). The old market square in the historical city is called the largest bar in Europe, because this square alone has got more than 30 bars in a row. Add all this...

Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Never heard of Mechelen in Belgium? That's quite normal. It is a small city with no world famous festivals, no university and no big art scene. But the fact that Mechelen is a small town, is also its attraction. It's not eaten up by tourists like Bruges, but has some of the same beautiful houses next to the water, an impressive medieval cathedral, and a...

Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Nicosia doesn't have a beach, so what?! It's got other stuff. Although pretty small, it's very chaotic and full of oppositions. We drink coffee for hours while soldiers change shifts, the imam is calling for prayer and church bells are ringing. Old men pass their day playing backgammon and ladies tiptoe around in sky-high heels in a fancy bar next-door....

Though the history of Nijmegen stretches back to The Roman Empire, you won't find a...

Use-it.travel. — 8 р. In Rovigo we are solitary and proud of the thick fog that is so characteristic of our beloved region, called Polesine. Fog surrounds us like in a cozy cocoon, but when it finally dissolves, we also become more open and hospitable. However, most people think there is nothing really happening in Rovigo, and that we are a sort of wallflowers lost in the...

Use-it.travel. — 8 р. Many say that people from Verona are crazy. Maybe it's because they see us having too much fun at sagre, the local town fairs. Maybe because we go nuts when our football teams, Chievo and Hellas, are playing. Maybe because we're extremely passionate lovers. We'd rather say we know how to enjoy life... and we like to show it off. If you decide to enjoy our...
