  Last month, I took a Danish road trip and made a pitstop in Ribe, Denmark's oldest town. I was absolutely dazzled by the doors. Here are a few that I shot while I was there. You can find more on the history of Ribe and plenty of more glamour shots of the doors I found here: https://doors.sidewalksafari.com/doors-of-ribe-denmark/ #AdoorableThursday #DoorsGloriousDoors #Denmark

  Wiesbaden's residential streets are a survey of Jugendstil at its most theatrical. This red brick building has one of the most arresting door surrounds I've encountered: an allegorical female figure looks out from the plasterwork at the crown of the arch, flowers woven into her hair, flanked by two winged sphinxes with their wings spread wide. Below her, a circular leaded glass window sits framed by rosette medallions. The warm honey-toned wooden door underneath barely gets a look. S...

  Dublin has a supermarket built inside a medieval townhouse; you can see the ruins through Plexiglas panels in the floor while you shop for groceries. There's also a giant orange diving bell from the docks you can climb inside for free. My favorite free activity, though, is a self-guided scavenger hunt for Dublin's colorful Georgian doors.

  We spent a week working remotely from Braga, Portugal's oldest city, and the quiet pedestrianized street where we stayed made for a genuinely productive workcation base. Best pre-work activity: a walk up to Monumento ao Sagrado Coração de Jesus for views over the whole city before logging in.

  A postcard forces you to pick one image and make every word count, a discipline I think we lost somewhere around 2010. I've been sending them for 30 years and I still think they beat a text message every time.

  Wynwood Walls doesn't spare the doors. One is a Tomokazu Matsuyama piece from 2018: a black crow perched mid-call over yellow peonies and a cherry blossom branch. Another folds RoboCop and the Terminator into a Neo-Tokyo mashup under the kanji for Tokyo and for gratitude. A third quotes Milton's Paradise Lost in torn newsprint beside a motorcycle and a wall of skulls. Three very different ideas of what a door can hold. Link to cast a vote for Door of the Week if you are so...

  12 years living in Dublin without owning a car, and I still saw nearly every corner of Ireland by train. Heuston Station handles the south and west, Connolly covers the north. The train was definitely cheaper than renting a car, and you get to nap instead of navigating roundabouts.
