Posted by Arzo Travels | Aug, 2017 | Destinations, Europe, France

Things to Do in Annecy in 2 Days – I admit that I am an Instagram addict – I often choose destinations based on pictures I see on Instagram.

However, the region is also one of the most expensive in pricey Switzerland, and so I was super happy when I found a great deal for the Grandhotel Giessbach, a hotel with...

How to Spend a Perfect Day in Flims in Graubünden, Switzerland – Hike to Lake Cauma, Rhine Gorge, and Lake Cresta in one day I visited the canton of Graubünden (a state in Switzerland) several times but never got to spend much time there – on my recent trip I stayed there for 2 nights (and stayed at a super cute, Airbnb building, but more about that another time).
