Let’s go on a spa day ladies 🧖🏾‍♀️ (and gents x) This one’s a mere 25 minutes by train from London to an award-winning urban retreat, just an 8-minute walk from Reading Station ✨ It’s tucked behind the River Thames with fresh Spanish and Mediterranean inspired cuisine, a hot tub, heated pool, steam room, massage rooms/spa treatments, a sauna, and more for the perfect London day trip, with packages from £40 & lovely spa treatments too x Historically, it first opened to the public in 1902 as a Ladies’ Swimming Bath and is believed to be one of the oldest surviving outdoor pools from the Edwardian era—making it a perfect spot for a swim with a touch of history. Let me know if you’ve ever been to Reading or the Thames Lido before in the comments!

Local Restaurants I love in London 🇬🇧 If you haven’t noticed by now I love a good meal out (or two…or three…), especially when it’s a local London restaurant Although Central is great, it’s also where you’ll find the most touristy spots vs. local places around where most Londoners actually live (i.e. in North, South, East and West London) - today I’m taking you North! 📍Behesht // 1082-1086 Harrow Rd, London NW10 5NL, United Kingdom Prices: £ To order I recommend their *Kashk-e-Bademjan (an incredible eggplant dip) with fresh oven baked bread, Dolmeh (stuffed vine leaves), the kebabs with your choice of meat and fluffy saffron rice washed down with some lovely Persian tea or Doogh, a savoury yoghurt drink with mint - but to be honest I’m pretty sure we ordered half the menu when we went!

How to Spend a Perfect Day in Florence 🇮🇹✨ Popped into Florence last week for something very special I’m working on, filled with many dream days in a city I quite honestly could do nothing more than eat, walk, look at art, drink wine & aperol spritz’ and eat again on repeat with complete contentment Here’s a lovely day for soaking up the best of Firenze (Florence): 🌉 Morning Stroll & Coffee – Walk along the Arno River, cross the Ponte Vecchio, and sip on an espresso at a local café or a Cappuccino (before 11am…the Italian way!) ⛪ Marvel at the Duomo – The iconic Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore is a must-see. Bonus points if you climb to the top for breathtaking views! 🍦 Gelato Break – Because no trip to Florence is complete without gelato! Try Perché No!…for a local and classic scoop and avoid any and every shop where the gelato is piled high (it means its processed vs natural and amazing) 🖼️ Art Lover’s Heaven – Visit one (or more!) of Florence’s world-class museums and galleries: - 🎨 Uffizi Gallery – Home to masterpieces by Botticelli, Da Vinci & Michelangelo. - 🗿 Galleria dell'Accademia – Say hello to Michelangelo’s David in all his glory. - 🏰 Palazzo Vecchio – A fortress-palace that was once Florence’s town hall. - 🏛️ Bargello Museum – Renaissance sculptures galore, including works by Donatello. - 🖌️ Pitti Palace & Boboli Gardens – Stunning art and even better views. 🍝 Lunch Like a Local – Try the ravioli at La Gratella, an iconic Florentine Steak or Tuscany’s famed Wild Boar Ragu 🍹 Aperitivo Hour – Rooftop drinks? Yes, please! An Aperol Spritz at View on Art is the perfect sunset treat before your daily Florence itinerary… 🍷 End with an Unforgettable Meal – Osteria del Porcellino serves up divine Tuscan dishes to round off your day - we even met the owner on our visit! Have you been to Florence before or is Tuscany on your list? Let me know 😉 Happy travels, Candace x #FlorenceItaly #FlorenceItinerary #FlorenceTravel #Firenze #FlorenceFoodie #TuscanyTrip Florence Italy, Florence Itinerary, One Day in Florence, Florence Recommendations, Florence Blogger

Visited one of my favourite viewpoints in the UK this week, but this time…for sunrise 🌅  Arthur’s Seat is the most brilliant place to go in Edinburgh for cityscapes, and although it can be a bit of a challenging walk to the top (about 30 minutes & very incline for The Green Route or 1-2 hours for The Blue Route) it’s so so so worth it You may also recognise it now from One Day on Netflix 🎥 and yes, it’s as gorgeous in real life as it is on screen Let me know if Arthur’s Seat is on your bucket list!

How to Spend the Perfect 24 Hours in Athens ✨ a city break guide to plan your trip is in my bio 🇬🇷 Popped over from London into the ancient history and modern charm of Athens—and I’m hooked! Although I’d been before this was my first time really getting to soak in more Athenian culture, food and people - and I absolutely loved it (I was actually here for non-Candace Abroad related work for something exciting coming soon…but more on that later!). Of course, I recommend spending much more than 1 day here, but here’s how to spend a lovely one: ☕ Start with Greek coffee at MOKKA for an authentic Athenian wake-up. 👣 Stroll the city centre through historic streets, markets, and charming neighbourhoods like Plaka, Monastiraki and Koukaki ☁️ Walk up (Philopappos) Filopáppos Hill for stunning views of Athens and the Acropolis 🏛️ Visit the Acropolis Museum to explore Greece’s incredible art and history. 🍽️ Enjoy gyros & Greek salad at O Thanasis, perfect for people-watching. 🍸 End with a rooftop drink at Athens Utopia Ermou—sunset views included!
