🥇 Sisi Museum - Hofburg Wien by @larissalugo

The Sisi Museum was opened on April 24, 2005 on the 150th anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph and Sisi's coronation. The entire exhibition is dedicated to Sisi. You can see her rooms, where she slept, rested, exercised, entertained guests and even her bathroom and toilet. Some of her dresses and jewelry are real, while some are replicas. There are also paintings drawn of her during her lifetime.

🥈 Italy: On our way to Iglesias...and ended at the house of the ROLLING STONES by @vindiesel1980

When women get thirsty, they might get a bit grumpy. Disappointment all over when there was nothing to drink. "You and your mine!" my girlfriend said. Yes I know, I am yours ;) But hey, the trick is to walk faster. Then you won't hear the comments. Oops, she also reads this post. We left the stone pathway and walked over a bit a grass to reach an older track. There it was: Laveria Lamarmora. It's part of an old mining facility. You won't recognize much of the mining past in the former mining town of Nebida. But the Laveria is worth a walk. The brick buildings, which slope towards the sea, were built in 1895. Rocks from the Buggerru mine were transported down an inclined plane in wagons. Parallel to the stairs along which you can descend on the other side, you still find the rails. In the laundry complex, the rock was broken to extract minerals such as lead and zinc. That is why the buildings are surrounded by chimneys and ovens. The ores were transported via a small port. Today it's a collection of ruins, the roofs and windows are gone. Improvised wooden scaffolding must keep the round-arched windows in line. There is a bit of old tolling laying around. I was actually impressed that storms did not take the complex down during all those years on a windy coast.

🥉 Wandering the Alleys of Albaicín, Granada, Spain by @godfish

If you ever book a tour across the south of Spain, Granada would undoubtedly be on the itinerary. Most tour guides will lead you along with the crowds up the hill, where one of the world's most famous palaces, the Alhambra, towers above the city. However, traveling with a travel agency is dumb, particularly in such a safe region as the EU. So, let the tour guides-led crowds flow and join me as we climb up another hill, one with Las Santas Cuevas, the Holy Caves. We'll leisurely stroll through the historic gypsy neighborhood known as Albaicín.
