Did you know that Tbilisi is one of the oldest capitals in Europe? The name of the city was first mentioned in Georgian books from the fourth century; however, it wasn’t a capital then, but a fortified city!

Video Title: The Mysterious Chinese Art Heists Across Europe
"Stockholm, Sweden. 2010. Passersby on the streets of the capital were confused and scared. Several cars in and around the vicinity had lit up in flames, and no one had any idea why. Police soon arrived on scene but they too were baffled with what they saw. Now, several kilometers to the west, on the outskirts of the city, a small group of masked men made their way across the grounds of the Drottningholm Palace (the private residence of the Swedish Royal Family, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Their target was the royal pavilion situated in the southern part of the complex, which displayed countless works of historic art. Once there, the men forced their way in through the backdoors, and went right to work. They smashed the protective display cases, and grabbed whatever items they wanted. This immediately set off the alarm system, which alerted the Swedish police. Now, despite the alarm, the robbers remained calm, because they knew exactly where the police were. The burning cars were in fact a distraction for them set up by the robbers, and they had fallen right into the trap. Still, the police raced towards the crime scene, but by the time they reached the royal pavilion, the place was empty (the robbers were in and out in less than six minutes). Upon inspection, sculptures, chalices, plates and teapots - all invaluable items - were now missing from the permanent state collection of art and antiquities; and this wasn’t just a huge economic loss, but a cultural one as well. It was later found out that after fleeing the pavilion on mopeds, the robbers made their way to a nearby lake where they were then picked up by a white speedboat. Though from this point, the trail went cold...
*Note: The narrative of the implication of the Chinese government was made popular by Alex Palmer of GQ in 2018 (though these suspicions had existed long before).
Here are six unmissable experiences you need to try in the Nordic countries. Witness the world's tallest bonfire, take a dip in Iceland’s Blue Lagoon and even visit the official hometown of Santa Claus in Lapland.
What are the greatest football stadiums in the world? Wembley? Old Trafford, San Bernabéu? The Maracanã? It’s all up for debate, but if we’re talking about the most scenic stadium, look no further than the fishing village of Henningsvaer, Norway. This tiny venue with no seats is situated on its very own island, allowing locals to have easy access to the beautiful game. With Henningsvaer having a population of around 500, you won’t have too much trouble joining in the fun. To plan your Norwegian adventure visit: https://theculturetrip.com/europe/nor...
For another impressive Norwegian experience, make your way to the port town of Ålesund to see the world’s tallest bonfire. The bonfire is held every year on Midsummer’s Eve, and is part of Slinningsbalet, a massive yearly festival. Over three months, wooden pallets are stacked on top of each other to create a massive wooden structure which, when set alight, provides a spectacle that can be seen from miles away. Find out more about the town and its history at: https://theculturetrip.com/europe/nor...
The cold never bothered you anyway? Then head 200km North of the Arctic Circle to Jukkasjärvi, Sweden and chill in the world’s first hotel constructed entirely out of ice and snow. Make sure you time your booking, though, as each summer the hotel melts and each winter it’s reconstructed using ice from the neighbouring Torne River, incorporating newly themed suites, sculpted by a different artist every year to create the ultimate winter wonderland. To book your stay and read more, check out: https://theculturetrip.com/europe/swe...
For an even quirkier activity head to the Streymoy, the largest of the Faroe Islands. Here, hundreds of feet above the ocean, sheep are transported every year by a human-pulled cable car in order for them to graze. The sheep are then auctioned off to help support the local community. Plan your Faroe Island trip with Culture Trip here: https://theculturetrip.com/europe/far...
For the most wonderful time of the year head to Rovaniemi in Finland. The capital city of Finnish Lapland is the official hometown of Santa Claus and every year the local post office receives more than half a million Christmas letters from all over the world. Give the elves a hand in deciding who’s been naughty and who’s been nice and then head out on a magical husky safari. Read more: https://theculturetrip.com/europe/fin...
Iceland’s Blue Lagoon should be at the top of your bucket list. The famously milky-blue waters have captivated travellers and contributed to the country’s tourism boom in recent years. The waters are full of mineral salts, healthy algae and a kind of silica mud that contributes to its cloudy blue color as well as being a nourishing tonic for the human skin. A little-known fact is that the lagoon was the accidental result of drilling by the Svartsengi Geothermal Plant.

Euro Trip 2018 - FULL PLAYLIST: https://bit.ly/2mtyr3P
Hey, xin chào! Trong phần đầu tiên của the vlogging series - Euro Trip 2018 này, bọn mình đặt chân đến thủ đô của đất nước Bồ Đào Nha, Lisbon/Lisboa.
Không như những thủ đô khác bị hiện đại hóa và thị trường hóa, Lisbon lại có một nét đẹp rất riêng - nhẹ nhàng, chậm rãi, và thoải mái.
Mọi người có thể thấy những nét đẹp này qua lối sống của người dân, phương tiện di chuyển và cơ sở hạ tầng (v.d. tàu tram), và cả những góc nghệ thuật với những bức hình graffiti quanh thành phố nữa.
Nếu các bạn muốn tìm một địa điểm để thư giãn và chill, muốn tránh xa khỏi sự tấp nập của thành phố, nhưng lại không muốn đến những vùng quê, thì mình khuyên Lisbon là một địa điểm du lịch lý tưởng. Và đừng quên thử Nhà Hàng Hải Sản Ngon Nhất Lisbon nhé - tuy mất trên dưới 2 tiếng đợi huhu ????

Hey, guys. Welcome to the first part of the vlogging series - Euro Trip 2018. Our first destination of the trip is to the capital of Portugal - Lisbon.
Unlike other capitals around Europe, Lisbon is not starkly modernised and commercialised and you can really get a sense of authenticity when traveling to this wonderful city. This can be seen through the way of life of the people, the buildings and transportations (e.g. trams), and even the artistic vibes in the form of graffiti art in every corner of the city.
If you want to travel somewhere quiet and relaxin for a short getaway, yet still stay within the comforts and convenience of a city, I highly recommend Lisbon!
