Today is my last day in Denmark 🇩🇰 so I took a bus from Copenhagen to Roskilde. Roskilde is a very small town but it has a beautiful landscape and is close to the sea 🌊. Rodskilde has an Vikings museums and the first place to start Viking, you can buy a ticket to learn more about how to make a Viking boat. I walked around the nature and sea. I found so many relaxing cows and ate grass 🌿. That's life I just want to be 😆😉 Rodskilde has a lot of beautiful churches, and I was visiting the Roskilde Cathedral, which is one of the most beautiful Scandinavian church styles. I enjoyed sitting there and taking time for myself to think about nothing….no…think about when I will back here again!!! After that I took a train 🚂 back to Copenhagen and dinner at the Gemini restaurant, it's a Michelin star restaurant and has a really good concept with original Danish food and steps. #roskilde #bus #Gemini #copenhagen #sea #vikings #Vikingsmuseum #church #museum #cathedral #denmark #rest #holiday #home #weather

#europetrip #prague #cathedral Visiting St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague was a truly awe-inspiring experience. As we arrived early in the morning, the cathedral stood in serene grandeur, its Gothic spires reaching skyward, untouched by the bustling crowds that would soon arrive. The intricate stained glass windows bathed the interior in colorful light, creating a mesmerizing, almost ethereal atmosphere. Every detail, from the soaring vaulted ceilings to the ornate sculptures and the stunning Chapel of St. Wenceslas, left us speechless. The silence of the early hours allowed us to fully appreciate the cathedral's beauty and history without interruption. For anyone visiting, going early is a must to experience the magic of this masterpiece before the tour groups flood in.

#europetrip #vilnius #cathedral Vilnius Cathedral and its expansive Cathedral Square left us in awe, even though we couldn’t explore the interior due to an ongoing church service. The cathedral’s neoclassical architecture, with its grand white façade and towering columns, is truly stunning, standing as a symbol of both Lithuania's history and faith. The intricate details of the exterior, from the statues of saints to the elegant bell tower rising nearby, showcase the craftsmanship and grandeur of the structure. Cathedral Square, with its open and airy layout, serves as a lively gathering place, where the beauty of the cathedral blends seamlessly with the surrounding charm of Vilnius. Even from the outside, the sight of this remarkable landmark was captivating, a perfect reflection of the city's timeless elegance.

The Northern city of York has one of the finest histories of any city in Europe from the Romans to the Vikings a lot has happened here.

St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is absolutely stunning, especially when visited in the evening. We explored inside, admiring the grand frescoes and chandeliers, then stayed until nightfall to see it beautifully illuminated. The glowing golden domes and tranquil atmosphere were unforgettable. Best time to visit at sunset to capture amazing photos and enjoy a serene, magical vibe as the lights come on. #travel #thingstodo #sofia #bulgaria #cathedral

#100waysoftravel #historicallandmarks #cathedral #gaia #art My recent visit to Southwark Cathedral to see Luke Jerram's Gaia was nothing short of captivating. The installation, a seven-meter replica of Earth, hangs suspended in the nave, commanding attention the moment you step inside. It's a truly impressive sight, the sheer scale of it dwarfing everything else in the cathedral. What makes Gaia so compelling is the incredible level of detail. The artwork uses high-resolution NASA imagery, so you can make out continents, oceans, and even cloud formations. It's like having the world in your hands, or at least a very detailed miniature version of it. And it's not just a static display; the globe slowly rotates, giving you a dynamic view of our planet. This movement, combined with the ethereal music playing in the background, creates a mesmerizing and almost meditative atmosphere. Beyond the visual spectacle, Gaia also prompts reflection. Seeing Earth presented in this way, hanging delicately in the vast space of the cathedral, evokes a sense of awe and wonder. It's a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of all life and the fragility of our planet. In the context of the cathedral, the artwork takes on an even deeper meaning, prompting contemplation about our place in the universe and our responsibility to care for our shared home. The overall experience was enhanced by the friendly and helpful staff, who were clearly passionate about the installation. The cathedral itself, with stunning architecture and peaceful ambiance, provided the perfect backdrop for Gaia. And at just £5 for entry, it's an incredibly accessible and rewarding experience. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a science buff, or simply someone looking for a moment of quiet contemplation, I highly recommend a visit to see Gaia at Southwark Cathedral. It's a truly unique and unforgettable experience.

Location: Volkhonka Street, 15, Moscow Founder: Emperor Alexander I The author of the project: Konstantin Ton Entrance fee: free The Cathedral of Christ the Savior is the cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church, located in Moscow on Volkhonke Street.

If you don't want to go the the observation deck, you don't have to pay the entrance fee (and you don't have to rent a scarf (for females), they will let you in without). Great place to visit! #trip #moscow #cathedral #historicallandmarks

#churches #100waysoftravel #cathedral #verona #duomo #architecture #roman There are many cathedrals in Verona, but the one I remember most is Verona Cathedral. As you approach, you're greeted by a stunning angel sculpture at the main entrance, welcoming visitors into this masterpiece of Romanesque architecture. Built in the 12th century, the cathedral features a blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles inside. The interior is adorned with beautiful frescoes, intricate marble columns, and a stunning altar. A must-see is the artwork of "The Assumption of the Virgin" by Titian. Additionally, don't miss the beautiful baptistery with its intricately carved font, and the stunning rose window that bathes the interior in soft light. Each corner of the cathedral holds a rich history and artistic treasure.

This cathedral was built in the spanned of nearly 150 years. It was rebuilt from a church that was destroyed during revolution. You can see the old gothic style in the inner part, while more modern style closer to the entrance. #100WaysOfTravel #lille #france #nord #cathedral #architecture #europe

Beautiful Canterbury 🇬🇧 loved this city. Such a chill place.people are nice 🩷. I went to Stanford House for some classes and they gave me this nice tour around the city. Canterbury got a beautiful cathedral, mesmerizing view, beautiful chill park to have picnics or play games with friends. We also got a boat trip on the river. It was super fun#canterbury #cathedral #travel #trip

The Saint Jean Baptiste or the Lyon cathedral is a magnificent cathedral located in the heart of old town, Lyon. The train station tok is very near. That and it being free to enter did mean substatial crowds. But don't let it being free make you think it's any less. It's huge and has your classic cathedral design with charming stained glass. Which reminds me that if you visit during the noon, you get to see these stained glasses at work as light passes through them. But noon would most likely involve a queue to get in. The ceiling is impressive as well. The courtyard is nice too and it provides shade. Good spot to relax for a while. All in all a great stop in old town that is worthy of your time and attention. #francetrip#cathedral #lyon #mytravelhacks #localguides #summerdestinations

Unlike a lot of cathedrals I visited as a tourist, it seems this one is more about the local community and an active place of worship. Quite a lot of people turned up from time to time and worshipped. The cathedral is vast and located in the city center. If the idea of seeing a church and a community of people with faith appeals to you. This can be a nice stop on the machester itinerary. #uktrip#localguides #cathedral #manchester

Boulogne was better than we exoected. This area of Old Boulogne where the basilica snd castel are, it is wonderful to walk around with cafes and shops to visit. If you get a combined ticket for the castle and the church. It is even more affordable. The cathedral has a peaceful atmosphere. Makes for a relaxing stop. The cathedral is surrounded by gardens. Plenty of parking available behind the Notre Dame and I noticed a toilet too. I think this can be a nice and comfortable stop on your itinerary. #myhiddengems #cathedral #france #summerdestinations #boulogne #cherryblossom2024 #100waysoftravel

Such a joy to experience a beauty like the cathedral of st. corentin in Quimper. Excellent example of the Breton gothic architecture. On of the most beautiful monuments in all of Brittany. The stained glass windows are a captivating sight. Never fails to draw your attention. While the art and interiors are old dated to 19th century, the huilding has a change in the nave direction. There is informational given about it's construction through the interactive screen placed outside. If and when in quimper, I would highly recommend making a stop here. #myhiddengems #quimper #cathedral #summerdestinations #france #100waysoftravel #europe

With the extended roaming across Europe, more specifically France. I thought i was running the risk of an overdose of church and cathedrals. So I wasn't looking forward to much when I visited the notre Damme de la treille. Instead, it turned out to be a very interesting experience. This cathedral is very different from what I had seen. Of course there are similarities or resemblance you can spot. You see the west facade is very unusual. It is completely different from the other side. Apparently, it was constructed post the world war. There is artwork included in the cathedral and the lights too are unusual. The reason why I say it is unique, is because this is not your traditional French cathedral. Much more Neo gothic architecture and style. It's definitely worth a look. #myhiddengems #lille #cathedral #summerdestinations #france #100waysoftravel #europe

Firstly what a spectacular location up on the hill. It gives some of the best views of Monaco. And then the art and paintings inside. If you wanna elevate this whole experience of witnessing another chapter in princess Grace's history. And more importantly this extraordinary cathedral. Walk here via the princess Grace's garden. It will allow you memorable views of Monaco. It was also amazing to see the prince and princess' grave site and graves of several noble personalities of monaco. This is best followed by a visit to the palace. #myhiddengems #monaco #cherryblossom2024 #summerdestinations #cathedral #100waysoftravel #europe

Rouen is a beautiful city with so much to see. The cathedrale of Notre Dame is one example for fine heritage. It is a beautiful and gigantic structure. This romanesque and gothic styled cathedral is known to be the tallest in france since the reconstruction of its cast iron spires. These spires are very noticeable from all across the city. And when you climb up the tower you get an excellent view of the city. More famously if it feels like you have seen it before. That could be due to the great painter Calude Monet, who painted a series of this cathedral. Almost 30 representations of it. Also, the cathedral has the tomb of Richard the Lionheart. The audio tour is recommended as it will provide you very rich insights about the cathedral. If in rouen and walking around, this is a must visit! #myhiddengems #france #summerdestinations #cathedral #europe #100waysoftravel

Visiting the Cathedral de la Major was a wonderful experience. Its limestone facade, marble decorations, rich mosaics and the intricate carvings create such a sense of grandeur. Since it is located near the port. Both the views from here and elsewhere in the city when you see the cathedral from a distance. It's a spectacular sight. The best part is the cathedral is free to visit. You may make a donation. With it being so hot outside, the cathedral was a saviour not only from the heat. But the vibe inside is so peaceful and calming. The stained glass is really a sight during different times of the day as light falls on it. #myhiddengems #cathedral #summerdestinations #europe #100waysoftravel #France

#temples Visiting the gorgeous cathedral of Saint cecile was the most memorable experience of a day trip to Albi. It's a small medieval town with a bridge and a river running through it. While there are a handful of other sights to explore including the likes of museum, palace and riverside pathway. I found the cathedral to be the heart of tourist interest in Albi. It's a French gothic Cathedral that is made from bricks. That has a certain charm to it. And I'm even told that it happens to be the world's largest brick cathedral. It has beautiful windows and carvings. The paintings on the ceilings are stunning. There is even an organ instrument inside. It must be an active place of worship. If you are looking for what not to miss in albi, the cathedral will be it. Here is a tip, the river side path. That walk is an absolute gem too. #temple #church #cathedral #myhiddengems #europe #100waysoftravel #france #summerdestinations

#myhiddengems The Nevsky cathedral was part of our sightseeing for the day. It turned out to be the most impressive of stops. It is bigger than it looks. And has beautiful art on its walls. When the lights are turned on inside. The sight becomes even prettier. I wasn't able to take pictures inside as they required extra paying for pictures which wasn't nice to charge. Anyhow, so the security tends to be stiff with ensuring no one takes pics without paying. Anyhow, it's a great addition to the day's itinerary. And historically too it is amongst the biggest of cathedrals in this part of the continent. #russia #cathedral #summer #winter #vacation #trip

We went this church in Catania. It was about 10 mins from the cruise port. The design and paintings are very impressive. There is also a former monastery that is now universiry beside it. #cathedral #catania #sicily #italy #europe

This cathedral is located in Arras. It has a magnificent ceiling painting that you can admire from the mirror. The cathedral is very peaceful and serene.

The Cathedral of St. Anastasia in Zadar, known also as Zadar Cathedral, is a significant religious and historical landmark in Croatia. The cathedral is dedicated to St. Anastasia, a 4th-century martyr whose relics were brought to Zadar by Bishop Donatus from Constantinople. It was built on the site of an early Christian basilica.
