Helsinki city scene. There’s something about trams that adds to the allure of European cities. Do you agree? Especially when they run along tree-lined boulevards with beautiful buildings. More to come soon on the blog about our @vikingcruises Baltic cruise and the cities we visited. #myvikingstory #Helsinki #Finland . . . #visitfinland #visithelsinki #cruisetravel #europeantravel #europe #balticcities #travelblogger #loves_finland #ifwtwa #jachat

Morning in Gdańsk, Poland. Just finished a walking tour with @vikingcruises in this lovely city on the Baltic. Most of the buildings in the old town were reconstructed after World War II to look like the originals. #gdansk #poland #myvikingstory . . . #polandgram #poland🇵🇱 #visitgdansk #balticsea #instapoland #polska #europeantravel #traveleurope #beautifuldestinations

A peek inside an old apothecary shop and museum in Tallinn, Estonia. Through the windows, you can see a few of the colorful buildings on Town Hall Square. So much charm and character in this city.

“Submergence” by Squidsoup— one of the totally cool art installations in the “Point of View” exhibition at @wonderspacesaz in @scottsdaleariz at Fashion Square. I’m so glad I got to see it before it ends September 15.

A visit to the abbey (first built in the 8th century) on the island of Mont St. Michel is well worth the walk up the winding cobblestone lane of the surrounding village and abbey complex. This important @UNESCO site, about 73 miles from our last stop in Bayeux, was our final attraction in Normandy. We spent about 3.5 hours there, including lunch. Check the @travelingwithsweeney blog for more info. #normandy #france . . . #montstmichel #montstmichelabby #francetourisme #francetourism #normandietourism #historicplaces #unescoworldheritage #travelgram #traveleurope #travelfrance🇫🇷 #instafrance #cobblestonestreets
