Enjoying summer

Summer in Luxembourg is, as we mentioned in previous articles, a great time to enjoy festivals and some time outside.

If you just arrived in Luxembourg, you will be able to enjoy the many terrasses and bars out in the open.

And of course, summer is the time for travel and you will find in our blogs many destinations we have visited to guide you through a summer in Luxembourg.

And if you only a couples of days, there are always destination closer to the city that are worth seeing and easy to reach!

For example, did you know that Paris is only a 2-hour train ride away? And Cologne, in Germany, is even closer!

Among the festivals to see and enjoy this summer, don’t forget to stop by the schueberfouer to have a ride and enjoy a candied apple!

The discovery of Andorra

You probably know by now that, we, at Furnished, love to discover new places and in turn make you discover them through this blog.

Well, this time we are bringing you to a new country that very few have heard about: Andorra!

This tiny country nestled between France and Spain has many wonders to offer to tourists.

Its mountains allow for great trekkings while its very low VAT will be perfect for avid shoppers. The country is also full of surprises like the Carmen Thyssen museum that has an incredible collection of Modern Art.

And let us not forget the impressive thermal center Caldea that has many internal and external pools warmed naturally by the soil of the mountain. You will find there a beautiful sound and light show that will make you want to come back!

Andorra also offers a spectacular show by The Cirque du Soleil with Divas as a theme.

As you can see, no matter the type of traveler you are, there are activities for everybody in Andorra. And we are not saying this only because one of our employees is from there 😉

Enjoy the pictures and the sunny weather!

Que viva España !

Life is always better in summer.

Days are longer and holidays make people smile more.

Well, while Furnished is not on a holiday, we have decided to show you the best of Spain for your next holiday.

We’ll start with the North of Spain (because we like to do things properly!) with the beautiful region of Cantabria. This region offers as many mountains as ocean to its visitors and is a great spot for surf, especially in the well-named beach « Playa de los locos ».

Its capital Santander had a beautiful 5 kilometers-long boardwalk that will take you from beaches to the city center and its many small streets and shops. The Spanish atmosphere is all there with many people out late at night and many concerts in the open.

We do have some recommendations of things to do in this region:

  1. Have an ice cream at Regma – they have many locations around Cantabria and there are the best ice creams you will ever taste. Oh and one scope actually two flavors… 
  2. Go visit the Picos de Europa
  3. Have a swim in Santander 
  4. Indulge in history with the Capricho de Goya
  5. Relive your childhood in the zoo of Cabarceno 
  6. Discover the picturesque village of Santillana del Mar, the village of the three lies 
  7. Spurge in some churros, anywhere 
  8. Enjoy some fresh fish in San Vicente de la Barquera 
  9. Dance all night long in Suances 
  10. Rest and relax in Puente Viesgo’s thermal hotel 

As you can see, there are many things to do in this part of Spain… and we haven’t mentioned its incredible gastronomy or wonderful beaches. So, take some days off, pack up and join us for a trip you won’t forget!
