Travelling the World with Iuliia Pozhidaeva

Leipzig, Germany As Bonn is a city of Bethoven so Leipzig is a city of Johann Sebastian Bach. Another world famous person connected with Leipzig is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Nowadays Leipzig is a fast developing city with lots of places of interest.

Moscow, Russia Travelling is one of the most popular hobbies. Very often we want to visit different countries and forget about motherland. The more I travel to other countries, the more clearly I understand how little I have seen in my motherland. Today remembering all those fantastic sights I dream about new Russian trips and new adventures.  So, what have I already seen?

The Monument to the Battle of the Nations, Leipzig, Germany The battle of the Nations took place in Leipzig, Saxony 16-19 October, 1813. It was the largest battle of Napoleonic wars. 207 years ago emperor Napoleon I fought against armies of Russia, Austria, Prussia and Sweden. This fight was the largest till World War I and there is the largest monument in Europe dedicated to it.

Bonn, Germany When you say "Capital" you imagine, I think, a large city with varied architecture, lifestyles and so on. When you are in Bonn, it is really difficult to believe that this town could be the capital of West Germany. Now it looks like a province and not like a capital. But Bonn deserves tourists' attention in any case.

New City Hall, Hanover, Germany Hanover is the capital and the largest city of Lower Saxony in Germany. From this city my summer trip began. Because of world famous Hannover industrial fairs the city is considered as industrial. But there are a lot of places of interest and you will be in hurry like I was when you have only one day for visiting Hanover.

Dortmund city center, Germany Almost completely destroyed and now modern and populous - this post is about Dortmund, eighth-largest city in Germany with specific places of interest and lack of old architecture.

Dusseldorf, Germany Dusseldorf  is one of the 10 largest German cities, the capital of state Norh Rhine-Westphalia. There I was really surprised by the number of shops and cafes. And not places of interest but they catch tourist's eye. Notwithstanding this fact there are many objects that must be seen.

Porcelain collection, Dresden Saxon porcelain is the world famous brand. There are two places in Saxony closely connected with porcelain. The capital of Saxony Dresden has great porcelain collection, that is in Zwinger exhibited. Another place  is a small town not far from Dresden - Meissen. It is the town where porcelain was firstly produced in Europe. But porcelain manufacturing technology was invented in Koenigstein - the fortress that is also situated in Saxony.

Eckberg, Dresden When we speak "Castle" we imagine in most cases something like fortifications or gothic building. Three castles on the Elbe aren't like that. They were built in XIX century and remain chic country villas.

The Elbe, Dresden The Elbe is one of the most important rivers in central Europe. It flows not only in Germany, but also in Czech Republic .The Elbe area in Dresden is one of the most picturesque rivers.
