⚡đŸĒ„ The new Harry Potter Shop on Oxford Street is almost ready to open!

We walked past this morning and tried to have a cheeky look inside, but couldn’t see much haha! 😂

The outside is looking AMAZING though! I absolutely love the brickwork and all the little Harry Potter details. I honestly can’t wait for this to open! ⚡

đŸĒ„ Opening date: Wednesday 4th November 2026
📍 Oxford Street, London
đŸ›ī¸ A brand new Harry Potter themed shop in the heart of London!

If you’re a Harry Potter fan or looking for things to do in London with kids, this is definitely one to add to your list!

Who’s excited to visit? Because I know I am! 😂

Comment GUIDE for my free Albania guide đŸ‡Ļ🇱

My guide includes the very best things to do in Albania, where to stay, how to book each activity, and helpful tips for your trip!

7 things to do in Albania [save this for later] âŦ‡ī¸

1. Shala River - often called the “Thailand of Albania”, it’s made up of crystal clear water surrounded by lush green mountains and it’s only accessible by boat

2. GjirokastÃĢr - a UNESCO World Heritage old town that’s like walking through a living museum, don’t miss the Old Bazaar and Cold War Tunnel

3. Ksamil is Albania’s most famous beach spot, with bright blue water and piercing white sand. It does get very busy here though!

4. HimarÃĢ boat trip - hire a private boat or join a tour to explore hidden coves and beaches only accessible by sea

5. HimarÃĢ Castle - a hilltop fortress that’s also a living village, with stone houses, narrow paths and old churches

6. Zoe Hora - a luxury restaurant in DhÃĢrmi next to a stunning pool with mountain views, go an hour before sunset for golden hour

7. Berat - the “City of a Thousand Windows”, explore the Mangalem and Gorica neighbourhoods and watch sunset from Berat Castle

Best Walking Route to See Rome in One Day

If you only have one day in Rome, the biggest mistake is trying to move around the city randomly.

Most of the places people want to see are actually connected by a very natural walking route. Start at Ancient Rome, work your way through the historic centre, then cross the Tiber and finish the day in Trastevere.

This is the route I’d save.

1. Colosseum

Start early. If you want to go inside, this should be the first timed booking of the day. When you finish, you are already perfectly positioned for the next stop.

2. Roman Forum

Walk through the heart of Ancient Rome and then continue along Via dei Fori Imperiali toward Piazza Venezia. Even if you are not entering every archaeological site, this entire stretch is worth walking slowly.

3. Piazza Venezia

This is the transition between Ancient Rome and the historic centre. Stop around the Vittoriano, then leave the huge avenues behind and head toward the smaller streets.

4. Trevi Fountain

Trevi is busy almost all day, but it still belongs on the route. Walk in from the surrounding lanes rather than arriving by taxi—you suddenly turn a corner and the fountain appears almost out of nowhere.

5. Pantheon

From Trevi, continue toward the Pantheon. This part of Rome is perfect on foot because every few streets there is another piazza, church or piece of ancient architecture hiding between ordinary buildings.

6. Piazza Navona

A few minutes away is Piazza Navona, built over the shape of an ancient Roman stadium. Walk the full length of the square rather than taking one photo and leaving.

7. Campo de’ Fiori

Continue south through the historic centre toward Campo de’ Fiori. By this point, stop for coffee, lunch or something small—you still have Trastevere ahead.

8. Ponte Sisto

Now cross the Tiber on foot.

Ponte Sisto is one of my favourite transitions in the city because within a few minutes Rome changes completely. The monumental centre disappears behind you and the streets start feeling smaller and more lived-in.

9. Trastevere

Do not rush straight to one restaurant.

Walk the lanes around Santa Maria in Trastevere, wander without a strict plan and let this part of the route slow down.

10. Piazza Trilussa

Finish around Piazza Trilussa and the river as evening begins.

This is exactly where I’d want the day to end: no more museums, no more timed tickets, just aperitivo, dinner and Rome after sunset.

The important thing is not trying to enter everything.

If you tour the Colosseum and Roman Forum properly in the morning, treat several of the later stops as part of the walk rather than another two-hour visit. Otherwise a beautiful route quickly becomes a race.

Rome is one of those cities where walking between the landmarks is often as memorable as the landmarks themselves.

Save this route for a first day in Rome—and wear shoes you actually trust.

Santorini’s caldera villages are way more walkable than they look.

Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani and Fira sit along the same dramatic cliff edge, and some of the island’s best views can be connected on foot without constantly jumping in a car.

A few stops on this route:
📍 Oia
📍 Imerovigli
📍 Skaros Rock
📍 Firostefani
📍 Fira
And that’s only half of it.

The full 10 stop route also connects the Fira Cable Car and Old Port, Ammoudi Bay, the Museum of Prehistoric Thera and Red Beach near Akrotiri.

One important thing: this is not a fully walkable island route. The caldera section between Oia and Fira is the part to do on foot, while places like Red Beach are much better reached by bus, taxi or car.

If you’re actually doing the route, start early and give the Oia to Fira section proper time. The views are the whole point, and rushing it defeats the experience.

The full 10 stop Santorini map is on the Backpackr app. You can join other travellers doing the itinerary, save it for later, or build your own route.

Makkah Map: Gates & Stay Zones — Know Before You Book đŸ•‹ī–’Planning your trip to Makkah? Booking the right hotel is waaay m...

Makkah Map: Gates & Stay Zones — Know Before You Book 🕋

ī–’

Planning your trip to Makkah? Booking the right hotel is waaay more than just finding the best price. The exact direction, which gate you’ll be using, the walking route, and even the terrain matter—a LOT! This is especially true for elderly pilgrims, families with kids, or anyone wanting to avoid massive crowds or hilly paths.

Let’s break down the essential hotel zones around the Haram (so you don’t regret your choice after arrival!):

📍 MAIN ZONES AROUND MASJID AL-HARAM

đŸŸŖ North — Jabal Al-Kaabah / Shamiyah
· Super close to the latest northern Haram expansion (ideal for those wanting more space 🔝)
¡ Most convenient gates: Bab King Abdullah (Gate 100) & Bab Al-Fath (Gate 45)
¡ Top choice for shortcut access from the north

🟠 Northwest — Jarwal
¡ Loads of hotels and serviced apartments
¡ Easy access from the Jarwal side
¡ Fab find for families or big groups needing space (and fewer hills!)

đŸ”ĩ West — Jabal Omar
¡ Faces Bab King Fahd (Gate 79) with easy, flat walking routes
¡ Modern, comfy hotels dominate this zone
¡ If you want max comfort + convenience, this is your vibe

đŸŸĸ South — Ibrahim Al Khalil Road
¡ Main southern artery, lined with hotels, shops, and eats
¡ Walk toward Haram is generally straightforward (aka less hassle)
¡ Perfect for those who like everything at their doorstep

🟡 South/Southwest — Misfalah
· Budget legends! Worth it if you don’t mind being a bit farther out
¡ Lively markets and affordable local food spots galore
¡ Slightly longer walk to the main entrances, so pack some extra patience

đŸŸŖ Southeast/East — Ajyad
¡ Tucked behind and southeast of the iconic Clock Tower
¡ Some hotels are practically next-door neighbors to the Haram
· Heads up: Ajyad Al-Sadd & Bir Balila spots may require some serious uphill hikes (leg day, anyone? 😅)

🔴 East/Southeast — Aziziyah
· Around 4–7 km away, so usually for budget or longer stays
¡ Shuttles, SAPTCO buses, or taxis are a must
· Best pick if you’re looking to save or coming for an extended visit

đŸšĒ HARAM GATES THAT MATTER

To keep it simple, here are the key entrances and which zones they pair best with:

· South: Bab King Abdulaziz — Gate 1
âŦ…ī¸ Easy Clock Tower/Ibrahim Al Khalil access
· West: Bab King Fahd — Gate 79
âŦ…ī¸ Perfect for Jabal Omar stays
· Northwest: Bab Al-Umrah — Gate 62
âŦ…ī¸ Jabal Al-Kaabah & Jarwal side plug
· North: Bab King Abdullah — Gate 100 & Bab Al-Fath — Gate 45
âŦ…ī¸ North expansion & Shamiyah win
· East/Masa’a: Bab Al-Marwah (North), Bab Al-Salam (East), Bab Al-Safa (South), Bab Ali (North/East)

🚆 GETTING THERE

· The Haramain High-Speed Railway docks at Al-Rusaifah Station, approx. 4–5 km west of Masjid Al-Haram (so yeah, not really walking distance to your hotel).
¡ In peak season, Aziziyah shuttles might drop you at Mahbas Al-Jinn or Kudai, with a pedestrian tunnel walk still needed to reach the Haram.

⭐ PRO TIPS FOR PICKING YOUR ZONE

👨👩👧đŸ‘Ļ Laziness level max / pushchair-friendly: Jabal Al-Kaabah & Clock Tower (virtually zero walking stress)
🏨 For next-level comfort: Jabal Omar (modern, spacious, and EASY)
💰 Great value: Ajyad (so close and not as pricey as Clock Tower hotels)
đŸ’ĩ Budget but nearby: Ibrahim Al Khalil & Misfalah (affordable yet practical)
🚌 Tightest budgets / longer stays: Aziziyah (just don’t mind the commute)

📝 Before you click "Book" on trip.com, always check the ACTUAL walking route—not some straight-line shortcut a booking map shows. Peep for slope, escalators/lifts, gate access, and up-to-date guest reviews!

Feel free to screenshot or save this Makkah zone cheat sheet before you book. May your trip be blessed, easy and totally accepted. 🤲✨ Safe travels, fam!
