With Easter just around the corner (how did THAT happen?), my hubby and I have been busy planning the road trip we will be taking with our daughter over the Easter holidays. We are driving from London to the Alps for a few days then onto northern Italy visiting the likes of Modena and Bologna before heading back to the UK through Switzerland. I’ve already got a few tips from you lovely City Tripping linkers but any more would be much appreciated!
I am sure many of you will be busy planning your next city trip, if so, make sure you enter my competition to win a GPS self-guided tour app from GPSmycity (usually £3.99). They are brilliant for finding out where you are, the nearest attractions and giving you some walking tours to make sure you get the most out of the city. You don’t need 3G to use them so won’t clock up extortiate charges while abroad. To enter, just comment below stating which city you would like it for (there are over 470) and put your details in the Rafflecopter widget too.
Now, onto this week’s City Tripping, the linky I co-host with the fabulous Cathy at MummyTravels. She is on hosting duties this week so click here to add your post.
Here are some of our top picks from last week – check them out if you haven’t already.
As well as commenting and sharing your posts on social media, we also pin an image to our Pinterest board. Please do follow us there and let us know if you would like an invitation to pin to the board as well.

For those unfamiliar with the linky – here’s what it is all about.
What is City Tripping?
City Tripping is the place to come and link up your city-related posts. We want to find out the best of things to do and see in the city, any city in the world, whether you are travelling as a family, a couple or with friends and even if it is your home turf.
How to join in the city fun
– Link up one post – old or new. This week, you can link up your posts with Cathy at MummyTravels.
– Please add the City Tripping badge to the bottom of the post or link back to either Mummytravels.com or Wandermum.co.uk – the badge code is below
– Posts must be about your experiences in a city – any city, from reviews of days out to longer breaks
– Please share the linky love and comment on the two hosts’ posts and at least two others which take your fancy, using #citytripping so everyone knows you’re visiting from the linky
– Tweet us your links @wander_mum and @mummytravels along with the #citytripping hashtag and we will retweet to our followers – We’ll be sharing your posts elsewhere on social media – we’d love it if you wanted to follow us there too: Wandermum (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest, YouTube) and MummyTravels (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest)
– City Tripping will go live every Tuesday morning until 23.55pm on Thursday and will alternate between myself and Mummytravels. This week it is with MummyTravels. We’ll be sharing our favourites every week too.
Bologna is my favourite Italian city:))

I can’t wait to visit! x
That sounds like an amazing trip. If you are near Lausanne or Geneva you can get supplies at the Manor or Globus food halls – makes Selfridges look like Tesco and you can usually taste several premium champagnes on promotion.
