Haarlem’s Oude Raamstraat is a charming example of how urban spaces can be transformed into greener, more inviting environments. Residents have taken the initiative to fill their facades and small front gardens with vibrant plants, flowers, and climbers, creating a refreshing green corridor.

While out in the park, I came across these little ones lounging in the grass.

Captured this incredible view of Leeuwarden from the historic Oldehove Tower, showcasing the city’s blend of history, architecture, and greenery. The iconic skyline and surrounding green spaces make Leeuwarden a great place to get a city walk

The Pfaffenthal Panorama is one of the best spots to take in the stunning views of Luxembourg City, combining the beauty of lush greenery, historic buildings, and modern city life. Nestled in the heart of the Pfaffenthal district, this panoramic view offers a unique glimpse into the city’s rich history and evolving urban landscape.

One of the highlights of visiting the Pfaffenthal Panorama is the Pfaffenthal Lift, which connects the city’s old town (Ville-Haute) with the valley below. The glass elevator not only makes transportation easier but offers a breathtaking view as you descend into the valley.
