Stick close to a main metro station, that's key. You might find less English spoken but local places are usually safe and the metro makes getting everywhere easy enough.
Definitely worth seeing at least once! Try to find a spot a bit further away, maybe near the Dragonfly Bridge, less crowded and you still get a great view of the Supertrees.
The untouched part is what makes it so special. It's not a ruin or a rebuilt copy, it's the genuine article. It really does feel like stepping into a storybook.
Honestly, it is a crazy idea. It's just too much travel time for one day. You'd be better off saving Munich for a weekend trip so you can actually enjoy being there.
I know exactly what you mean. Bourton is pretty, but Castle Combe is just a whole other level. It feels genuinely frozen in time, not just set up for tourists. It's beautiful.
Markets like Borough are great, but even just stepping a block or two off the main roads around places like Covent Garden or Leicester Square makes a huge difference. You find much better, more local spots that way. Totally worth the small walk.

I have heard the exact same thing about Galicia. That genuine warmth and hospitality, especially in the smaller villages, really elevates a trip. It sounds like the kind of place where the people truly make the experience unforgettable. I definitely agree that feeling welcome makes all the...
That is such a disappointment. Major construction can definitely ruin the feeling of a historic central square like Puerta del Sol. It makes everything feel blocked off and chaotic. I missed that during my visit, but it's a real shame that was your experience.
