The post 3 Reasons To Visit Amiens, France appeared first on tworeddots.com.
]]>The cathedral dominates the center of the city, and dates from the medieval period. It is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and is just as impressive inside as it is outside. This cathedral’s claim to fame is that it’s actually the largest in France—two cathedrals the size of Notre Dame could fit inside the interior of Amiens’ cathedral!
A canal tour around the floating gardens is a must-see if you’re visiting Amiens. These stunning gardens surround the waterways, giving the impression that the plants are floating. Canal tours last between one hour to three, with guides providing information about the history of the gardens and the city.
Amiens is a city steeped in history and culture. Why not visit the Musée De Picardie, which hosts plenty of classical art and sculpture, or the Somme 1916 museum to learn more about the traumatic yet interesting history of World War One? There’s so much to see and do in this charming city!

]]>When you first hear mention that Glasgow has a necropolis, you may do a double take – it certainly doesn’t sound like something a 21st-century city possesses, but Glasgow’s is great and glorious and situated right up on a hillside above the city for some fabulous views. It’s just across the road from Glasgow’s ancient cathedral, so combine the two into a trip that will take in history, art, nature, and culture.
As well as offering plenty of haggis and tatty scones, Glasgow can provide you with a plate of incredible Korean food, a bowl of Vietnamese pho, or a dish of Polish pierogi, depending on what you’re looking for. The food scene has international scope and is of an excellent standard, in fact, it will be hard to eat badly when you’re vacationing in Glasgow.
Glasgow has some extensive green spaces and some fabulous walking options, in fact, the starting point of the West Highland Way (an epic hiking trail that goes up the west coast of Scotland) starts just out of the city. If you want access to green space while staying inside Glasgow, head to the Botanical Gardens which feature some stunning Victorian-era greenhouses.

]]>Amish Country in Lancaster is the oldest Amish settlement in the United States. The Amish community is a group of thousands who stick to living a life of faith, simply and plainly. They also avoid using electricity, which means they travel via horse and buggy and churn their own butter. Yes, we’re serious! If you visit an Amish community, you’ll see a group of people that live in a rural area and rely on physical labor.
There are so many things to do when you visit Amish Country. First, you’ll have to take a ride in a horse and buggy. Where else would you get that opportunity? There are also tons of other activities, like taking tours through the villages or exploring the shops. Don’t forget to try some of the food and maybe buy some homemade Amish crafts.
