Our journey to discover Europe's hotspots never stops, and recently we welcomed incredible new entries to the numa family. From the relaxing vibes of Northern Germany to the bustling, colorful streets of Barcelona, here you'll find some inspo for your next trips to Europe's coolest locations.
Located in the quiet northern neighborhood of Aurenberg, Bona is your ticket to the history and culture of this gem of North Rhine-Westphalia. Elegant design and modern amenities to enjoy an authentic German experience with maximum comfort. If you've never heard of Bonn, you may not know it was the capital of Germany until 1990 and hosts many urban, artistic, and cultural treasures. Board the first passing bus and explore the attractions that make this city one of Germany's coolest destinations, starting with the former home of the world-famous composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. The Ritterballet, The Trio for Strings (op.3), and many other remarkable works were composed in Bonn during his early years, and you can now find out everything about his life and works in the Beethoven House. In addition to the wide range of museums that make up the Museum Mile, such as the Kunstmuseum and the Haus der Geschichte, Bonn also boasts several natural areas where you can kick back and take a few moments to relax. Taking nice, calming walks within its beautiful green parks or along the banks of the Rhine is the ideal way to unplug from your daily routine. One thing’s for sure—this little German gem lacks nothing at all!
With its one-hundred spires, Prague is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, and we couldn’t agree more. In fact, we’re welcoming not one but two new properties in the best neighborhoods of the Czech capital. Located in the prestigious Golden Cross district, in the heart of the Old Town, Laurel sits perfectly at the crossroads of Prague's past and present. The elegant, minimalist style of the apartments, a combination of traditional and modern elements, perfectly reflects the socio-cultural evolution the city has undergone in the last few decades. Here you'll have some of Prague's top attractions within walking distance, including Kafka's Revolving Head and the Museum of Illusions. And right where the famous boulevards of Na Prikope and Narodni meet Wenceslas Square, you’ll find yourself surrounded by countless stores, boutiques, malls, bars, and clubs. Whether you’re in the mood for culture, traditional cuisine, shopping sprees, or to experience Prague's vibrant nightlife, Laurel makes it possible.
Just like Laurel, Flow also perfectly reflects the multi-faceted vibe of Prague. Located just a stone's throw from the Vatlava River, hence the name Flow, this elegant, classical building is a true gem in Prague's downtown, perfectly mirroring the style of the district of Prague 2. With Flow you’ll be able to explore the city easily, either on foot or by the efficient public transportation network that Prague offers. In just a few minutes you can reach the Dancing House by Frank Gehry, a symbolic representation of Neo-Baroque, Neo-Gothic, and Art Nouveau. But that’s not even the best part! With Flow you're just steps away from Naplavka, Prague's famous riverbank destination. If you're in the mood for street markets, beautiful riverbank venues, and original boat bars, this is the place for you. What do you think: ready to pack your bags and go with the flow?
How to say no to sunny days, warm weather, and lots of hustle and bustle? We have a soft spot for Barcelona, that’s why we offer you a wide range of accommodations in the best neighborhoods of the Catalan capital. Lumino is your cozy, modern, and bright home in the heart of Barcelona, just steps away from the Barri Gòtic and the dense maze of streets and squares known as El Born. Here you can fully dive into the vibrant atmosphere of the city, enjoying traditional Spanish dishes and exploring Catalan culture and history. Step out of your room at Lumino and in a few minutes you’ll reach emblematic landmarks such as El Liceu, Parc de la Ciutadella, the Arc de Triomphe, and the famous Plaça Catalunya. And how can you visit Barcelona without taking a nice stroll down La Rambla? With Lumino, you're minutes away from one of Europe's most famous boulevards, along which you'll find countless kiosks, bars, restaurants, stores, local boutiques, and more!
New beginnings are always exciting, and we at numa know something about that. This year, we're landing in two new amazing destinations, taking you on a discovery journey through new cultures and traditions around Europe. With Topp, we will welcome Norway to the numa family. Contemporary rooms and apartments in the Uranienborg neighborhood to experience the best of Oslo, the city on the fjord. We'll also pop into the breathtaking landscapes of Switzerland with Craft, located in the Bäckerstrasse neighborhood of Zurich. Here you'll be able to fully immerse yourself in its history, traditional flavors, and unique city life.
As you can see, we are full of surprises. With numa, you never stop exploring (without giving up on some R&R, of course). Curious to find out the next stops of our journey? Keep following us and become a true numa-n!
