Spooky Sands: Halloween in Jūrmala, Latvia

#hellohalloween #jurmala Jūrmala's 33km white-sand beaches and pine forests set a hauntingly beautiful stage for Halloween. While not a traditional Latvian fest (locals honor pagan masking in winter), expats and tourists amp up the scares. Dress as ghosts or witches—costumes are key for parties! Events & Vibes: Head to Dzintari Concert Hall for potential themed gigs. Jomas Street buzzes with pop-up costume contests and bars like 5 Depe offering pumpkin cocktails. For thrills, join a ghost walk in nearby Ķemeri National Park's misty bogs. Riga's wild parties (30min train away) spill over; try Neon Halloween at Loud Fish club. Tips: Pack layers—October chills to 5-10°C. Rent bikes (€10/day) for foggy forest haunts. Dine on black bread with herring for a Baltic twist. Stay at Baltic Beach Hotel for spa recovery. Safety: Stick to lit paths; taxis are cheap (€15 to Riga). Embrace the eerie calm—perfect for romantic scares!

Vatican Museums

Exploring the heart of Italy! On my recent trip, I hit Rome, Naples, Florence, Pisa, and Venice, diving into epic ancient history, gorgeous nature, mouthwatering food, vibrant culture, and the unbeatable Italian vibe (siesta life = essential ✌️). Every corner feels like a postcard—seriously, Italy’s got it all! Must-See in Vatican City 🇻🇦✨ If you’re in Rome, don’t skip the Vatican Museums (00120 Vatican City)! From the iconic Sistine Chapel to endless marble halls and jaw-dropping art, it's a true feast for culture lovers. Pro tip: Go early (opens 8:00), because lines can get wild. The best days? Monday–Saturday (closed Sundays most of the month), but triple-check those seasonal hours—holidays change things up. Admission is €263—worth every cent for hardcore history and art buffs. Travel Hack 🚇 Hop on the Rome Metro (take Line A to Ottaviano station) for the quickest way in and out. Book your tickets on trip.com to skip the lines and avoid last-minute stress. Italian Life Tips 🍝 A proper Vatican visit takes at least half a day, so grab a panini or espresso nearby and enjoy a real Italian lunch after. Locals love their mid-day breaks, so pace yourself: wander, eat, siesta, repeat! Also, dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered, or risk being turned away. Weather Watch ☀️ Winter means cool, clear skies (hello, Colosseum views!), but check for rain or unpredictable holidays. #VaticanMuseums #ItalyTrip #CultureLover #RomanHoliday #tripdotcom
