The National Botanic Gardens outside Dublin is so worth the $0 entrance fee! Enjoy endless walking paths, greenhouses, statues, and flowers.

A trip to Dublin surely includes St. Patrick's Cathedral as a must-do attraction. Sadly, I found the experience disappointing.

Turin's Parco del Valentino is a great place to enjoy views of the River Po. It also features a Medieval Village and a gorgeous fountain.

East of Turin, the Villa della Regina offers gorgeous views of the city with the Alps in the background. It's definitely worth a visit!

The oldest bonsai in the world is over 1,000 years old! It currently lives in the Crespi Bonsai Museum outside Milan, Italy, and I saw it.

Just over an hour north of Milan is the picturesque Lake Maggiore. Isola Bella houses a gorgeous palace and gardens. It's the perfect spot.

Milan's La Scala Theater is one of the most famous opera houses in the world, but is a tour worth your precious time and money? Maybe not...

If you're looking to see all the best sights Milan has to offer, you'll be glad to know you can do it all in one day.

The Parco Biblioteca degli Alberi Milan is a gem in Milan's trendy Isola district with great views of surrounding modern architecture.
