Following the completion of a fourteen-year long renovation, the Ukrainian government has decided to reopen the Mariinsky Palace to the public. Set on a hill over the Dnipro River, the palace was built in the middle of the 18th Century by order of Russian Empress Elisabeth.

While most hotels unfortunately are struggling during the covid-19 pandemic, Vihula Manor Country Club & Spa in North Estonia has been doing well since the hotel reopened by mid-June this year. The hotel, which was awarded the title ‘Historic Hotel of 2020’ by the European Hotel Awards, has become a very popular hide-out for families with kids.
