The little town of Vianden is right out of a book or a picture postcard. Besides the fact
that (like all of Luxembourg) the surroundings are lush green and perennially scenic, this
little nook has the typical cobbled streets and alleyways of a classic European town. It
has a rustic...

There are at least four German bakeries around McLeod Ganj and all seem to have similar
ware. There is one on Temple Road and one in Dharamkot (about 2 km uphill) and while I was
living there, goodies from the bakery became a staple diet. Though McLoed Ganj is speckled

There’s a row of cafés just by the Brussels flea market square. Since after an hour of
browsing I still had found nothing worthwhile, I decided to retire for a well deserved
drink at one of the cafes – a typical European sit out with wooden chairs under
umbrellas. A local friend that...

The next time I was on Om beach it was a weekend, and a horde of local riffraff had most
unfortunately found this fairly secluded coast and invaded the waters. This unruly
floating mass of humanity had bullied everyone else out of the sea. At first I lingered
at a distance trying to...

The easiest and best way to get around the Auroville area (and into Pondicherry central)
is on your own two-wheeler. While I was staying at a shack on the Auroville beach, I hired
a rundown, outdated mopet for Rs 50 a day. It seemed like a good deal until I realized it

Vienna’s public transport system is very efficient. Everything is well connected and the
frequency of transport is very high and adheres to the clock almost by the minute. Though
I did take the bus every now and then, the easiest mode of commute seemed to be the tram.

Fortunately, Brussels falls midway between French-speaking and Dutch-speaking Belgium -
which means that there’s a bit of both here. This is good news for those who don’t
speak French because, as I soon found out, if you can’t speak the language, you’re
unlikely to receive any...

While randomly walking down the Brussels streets I came across a rather odd roadside
vendor. He was selling only one thing in his mobile cart which, when I took a poke in,
turned out to be – he called it – escargot. Though I’m not always very adventurous
with new ‘meats’, I was hungry...

To get to the city centre, I usually took the efficient tram system and got off on
Ringstrasse near the Opera House. From there it was a pleasant walk any way I went. Just
by this tram stop I discovered a street vendor (most probably Turkish) who had the most
delectable fast food in...

The Rathaus or townhall is in the heart of the city and a hub of cultural activity.
Besides being an architecturally beautiful building it, the square at which it sits is
always bustling with activity, especially by early evening and night. During the few days
that I was in Vienna,...

Karlskirche (Charles Church) is definitely one of the most elegant and picturesque
edifices I have ever come across. This beautiful baroque church was built in the 1700s and
both the exterior and interior of the church are tastefully ornate. I spent a late
afternoon sitting outside...

If you’re wandering the streets of Vienna central, you’re most likely to come by the
impressive Hofburg Imperial Palace, which has housed some of the most powerful people in
Austrian history. I found it to be an attractive, elaborate structure, and in keeping with
the high standards...

Luxembourg City has a cheery balance of ye olde European culture and inevitable
modernization; of nature and human settlement. From the parts of the city that I visited,
I found it had a relaxed, almost lazy atmosphere – maybe also because it was a weekend.

If you’re going to Larochette (or any of the other small regions in Luxembourg), make
sure you have some mode of transport figured out, or put on your walking shoes. I took a
train form Brussels and as soon as we entered Luxembourg, the population density dropped
drastically; there...

The unassuming city of Luxembourg harbours an underground network of catacombs called
Casemates. The first underground tunnels were built in 1644 and subsequently expanded over
many years, continuing to serve as subterranean defensive passages. They were built over
different levels...

When I first heard the name, I thought it had something to do with the world war and was
named after Hitler. But then I was told that it was first built around the year 1903 and
anyway the name of the bridge is not Adolf, but Adolphe (after the Grand Duke that ruled

It’s odd that I didn’t finally visit Larochette Castle since it was practically in the
backyard of the lady with whom I was staying in Larochette (which is a small wooded town,
sparsely populated). I merely had to look out a window to see the 12th Century castle
looming from its perch...

A local friend drove me to Castle Vianden. It looked like a typical fairytale castle
sitting at the peak of a hill, surrounded by the lush green that is Luxembourg. It took a
pleasant trek to reach the castle from where we had to park. As in most cases, the
interior of this old castle...

At the crossing of the main Auroville beach road and the smaller road leading to Auroville
Ashram, I came across a cozy home-restaurant that serves authentic Euro-Mediterranean
food. The restaurant is a few metres up the Ashram road and not that easy to spot if
you’re not looking for...

For some reason, I feel completely at home at European cafes and especially the German
Bakeries in India. Besides the fact that they serve authentic continental food and
savories and drinks, the air around the café is always easy and relaxed; almost hippie.
