Rotterdam is one of the few thoroughly modern cities in Holland, offering adventuresome modern architecture and delightful culture. The city centre, apart from the City Hall, was almost completely destroyed by bombing in World War II, so had to be gradually rebuilt from the 1950s on. #rotterdam #netherlands #architecture #modern #culture 

Yalta is a town on the south coast of the Crimean Peninsula surrounded by the Black Sea. It came to worldwide attention in 1945 when the Yalta Conference between the “Big Three” powers – the Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom – was held at the “Livadia Palace”, but long time before and after that historical meeting, Yalta was a resort city. It serves as the administrative center of Yalta Municipality, one of the regions within Crimea. It has a warm humid subtropical climate and is surrounded by numerous vineyards and orchards. #yalta #crimea #black #sea #conference  

If there is a thing that needs to be on your bucket list, it has to be to visit Cairo. The entire city is a sensory buffet. Busy streets are filled with modern cars and donkey carts at the same time. Historical buildings stand next to contemporary ones. At every corner, your senses are teased with lively music, delicious aromas, calls to prayer, etc. Cairo is one of the rare cities where you can experience millennia of human history within a single afternoon. It invites you to come and see everything that ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Arabic people have left us. #cairo #egypt #historical
