I was today years old when I learned that Switzerl I was today years old when I learned that Switzerland is home not only to an underground lake, but to the largest underground lake in Europe.

Thirty-minute boat tours are open to the public, and the underground acoustics make it ideal for concerts throughout the year. 

Getting there is possible even if you don't drive in Switzerland. Visitors can take the train to St-Léonard, and the entrance is about a 10–15-minute walk from the station.

If you're planning a visit, it's highly recommended to book in advance:

As we did not receive our invites to the Met Gala, As we did not receive our invites to the Met Gala, we decided to visit the Dior Museum instead.

For old souls inspired by fashion of the 1940s and 50s, you will be blown away by the three stories of Dior’s ‘New Look’, which opted for feminine silhouettes rather than traditional straight lines. The collection launched shortly after the liberation of Paris, a rebirth of French couture following WWII. 

The exposition changes every six months, meaning that we will surely be back again.

Address: 11 rue François Ier, Paris 8e
Price: €16

*I highly recommend reserving your tickets in advance to shorten your wait time!

Contrary to popular belief, Vienna is not all Moza Contrary to popular belief, Vienna is not all Mozart and Schubert.

If you love vintage glamour, circus acts, and the mysterious wonder that is cabaret and burlesque, Mirage may be your cup of tea.

Each night underneath the red velvet tent offers a unique set of acts accompanied by a dinner. Walking through the Prater on the way to @mirage.wien is a treat in itself, a space which welcomed the World’s Fair in 1873.

Reservations for your next trip to Vienna may be booked at: https://www.mirage.wien/en/events

Address: Prater 75, 1020 Wien
