#1 Marrakesh, Beauty and the Beast by @haydae

Before we went to Morocco, we had heard that Marrakesh was one of the country’s finest cities. Upon landing, as we saw the city’s brand new design airport, it seemed true. Yet, we had also heard another rumor on Marrakesh, one that was much less appealing. The city was known for lighting up all scam warnings in the book. Its nickname, Arnakech, which was a pun between the city’s name and the French word for scam, said no less. That rumor was true too.

#2 Vardø – The city of witchcraft in Norway by @digi-me

During my visit to the north-eastern part of Norway, I went to several small towns. One of them was Vardø. It turned out to be an interesting visit in many ways. This small town has a magnificent piece of modern achchitecture and artwork created in 2011 as a memorial - the Steilneset memorial. Vardø is also the world's northernmost fortified city.

#3 Travel Diaries - Mirissa, Sri Lanka by @tggr

We stayed in Mirissa for just two nights, but this did not stop us from doing some exploring as well as some sunbathing. When it comes to scenic spots, Mirissa has a few. Just off the main beach, you'll find a little rock which is perfect for sunset viewing. Mind you, it does get a bit busy around sunset, but it is worth the visit if you do not mind getting a bit wet.
