Hi
Happy holidays! We can't believe the end of the year is already here! Here in Copenhagen we're sipping gløgg, eating æbelskiver, and walking through the Christmas markets. How are you celebrating the season?
Last month took us to Latvia, where we ventured outside the capital for the first time and expanded our Riga guide and turned it into a full country guide. With 17 new additions and a total of 36 featured spots, our Latvia guide is one of the most extensive and up-to-date maps on our website. Keep scrolling to read the updated guide!
Also, we finally have a Tokyo guide on our website to complete the holy trinity of must-visit Japanese cities! You can now find guides to the best restaurants in Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo on our blog.
Later this month we'll return to Norway for the holidays. We're so excited to check out the new restaurant openings in Oslo and Stavanger! Any new favorites you recommend?
