This featured photo comes from Venice, the world famous romantic city in Italy. I visited Venice back in February and wrote about 48 hours there and was impressed by the amazing architecture, the quirky way the canals cut the city and the great food. I’ve highlighted the Doge’s Palace here as it’s one of the […]
Guimarães – Portugal’s Heartland
As soon as I pulled into this town, I didn’t immediately get the impression it was as steeped in history as I’d read about. I saw a shopping centre and the usual civilised European transport infrastructure. It wasn’t until we parked up the car on an incline and ended up facing two rows of not-quite-parallel […]
48 hours in Porto
There’s a saying in Portugal – “Porto works, Braga Prays, Coimbra Studies and Lisbon gets all the money”. As you can guess, Porto is traditionally a working class, port/trading city and is not one that’d typically come up when you’re talking about Portugal with your mates. It’s situated in the north of the country, and has […]
Win two free flights with KLM!
Think you’re pretty savvy when it comes to picking places around the world just from photos? KLM are running a contest called Secret Cities each week until Friday April 24th which could see you win two free flights if you reckon you can match up a photo to a place on a map. Time to […]
Getting to London’s Airports
Do the acronyms STN and LGW when plastered all over a cheap flights site do your head in? Can’t work out whether your flight leaves from Terminal 1, 3 or 4 from Heathrow and how to get there? I know the feeling, so i decided it was high time that someone laid out the best […]
48 hours in Oslo
What springs to mind when you think Norway? Vikings? Snow? Fjords? Gorgeous people getting about in big furry hooded jackets on snowmobiles perhaps? Oslo wraps all of this up into a convenient, compact and historic Scandinavian experience in one city, easily accessible from the UK. Oslo is teeming with striking new architecture, intelligent design and […]
Featured Photo – Milan
As probably the most recognisable and memorable symbol of Milan, the Duomo is the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world and took over 400 years to complete. As you step inside, you are greeted by a jaw dropping cavernous interior that seems to go on forever both above and in front of you. The […]
Get your LOLs on at 35,000 feet
You’ve heard all the typical shenanigans that people roll out about what they’ve done whilst on a plane. Your best mate once met Anna Kournikova and got her phone number while your uncle sat next to Michael McIntyre on a flight back from Edinburgh and got a laugh or two after pulling out his best […]
One Year On
This week marks 12 months since I started 48 Hour Adventure. It’s come a long way since I decided “hey, there’s nothing around on the web that provides just the right amount of info to help people travel on weekends to cities, let’s start a blog†and I’m super proud of the growth so far. […]
48 hours in Venice
An endless maze of canals of glistening green, torn up by speedboats and then settled by gentle gondolas, Venice is unlike any other city in the world. Built over centuries upon foundations of fortified wood submerged in the sea, Venice was once one of the strongest empires in Europe and sought to fiercely separate itself […]
