About Maddy's Avenue
Maddy's Avenue is a personal travel blog run by Maddy, offering hands-on destination guides, itineraries and tour recommendations mostly across Europe. The site has grown to more than 230 posts and publishes roughly two to three new guides a month, covering everything from city day trips and museum advice to wine tours, cooking classes and historic-site how-tos. Recent titles include deep-dive practical pieces such as Normandy D-Day visits, Avignon and Beaune guides, and step-by-step visiting tips for icons like Michelangelo's David. Content emphasizes actionable planning advice and tested tour or class recommendations.
What makes Maddy's Avenue itself is the no-nonsense, tested approach to sightseeing: these are guides written by someone who has booked the tours, walked the routes and eaten at the recommended tables. The voice comes through in titles like "All Tried & Tested by Me" and the many how-to and "best of" pieces, so reading feels like getting directions from a practical local friend. It excels at Europe-focused day trips and wine-region planning, with steady output of a couple of new, ready-to-use guides each month. The mix of museum tips, itineraries and food recommendations is especially handy for trip planning.
