romantic poet reviewed Espace van Gogh in Arles, France
Vincent Van Gogh moved to Arles for the lighting, and he must have seen something here, as some of his most famous works were completed during the year that he lived here, including 'The Night Cafe', 'Yellow Room' and 'Starry Night Over the Rhone'. The …"

romantic poet reviewed Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy
More like a 1950’s hotel lobby than a bar, and always very busy, Harry’s Bar is still an irresistible institution. You will naturally want to order a Bellini, they were 15 Euro last visit, but then this is their birthplace! My tip would be to order a ‘R…"

romantic poet reviewed Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) in Venice, Italy
Amorous Venice is full of historically romantic sights with beautiful stories attached. Uneducated romantic poet that I am I thought this bridges sighs may have referred to lovers, but it turns out to have a less lovely, but no less historic tale. A co…"

romantic poet reviewed Sistine Chapel in Rome, Italy
This famously and meticulously decorated chapel is best known for its Michelangelos and for being the site of the Papal conclaves where decisions about papal succession are made. Outside it’s a plain rectangular brick building without any of the floun…"

romantic poet reviewed Troy in Marmara Region, Turkey
We know about Troy because of Homer’s epic poetic tomes in which he tells the story of Troy and Helen and the horse. Romantic and dramatic, she had the face that launched a thousand ships and armies of men fought for her honour. Sigh. Not like that the…"
