München

Enjoy the Magic of Munich’s Old Town

21 April, 2015

Munich’s Old Town – also known as Alstadt – is, in essence, the heart of the city. Known around the world for its beautiful architecture and vibrant culture of beer halls, it is also the place to be for exploring Munich’s buzzing nightlife. The area was heavily bombed during the Second World War but, thankfully, many of the buildings have been rebuilt or restored. There is much to explore in the Old Town, but these three sites are certainly among the must-sees. Richard Strauss Fountain This intricate statue created in honour of the composer’s famous ‘Salome’ opera is often not

Civitavecchia

Explore the Historical Sights of Civitavecchia

20 April, 2015

Its name may be hard to say but Civitavecchia, a town in the Lazio region of Italy, is certainly an easy place to enjoy. Its proximity to Rome, along with its status as a busy cruise port and one of the main ferry links to Sicily and Sardinia, means the town is a hive of activity for much of the year. But with a name that translates literally to “ancient town”, the truth is, there’s far more value to this bustling seaport than simply commerce and tourism. With a history stretching back to the 2nd century, Civitavecchia retains many of

15 April, 2015

It’s hard to find a country more steeped in history than Greece and its capital, Athens, is a veritable Mecca for avid historians and amateur anthropologists. While many of its iconic attractions are well known, there are also myriad smaller and more out of the way sites to uncover on a visit to the city.

Cala en Bosch

3 Beautiful Beaches Around Cala’n Bosch

14 April, 2015

Even with its status as the smaller of the Spanish Balearic islands, Menorca can hold its own with the big boys when it comes to great accommodation, excellent attractions and, above all, stunning beaches. Being an island, naturally Menorca will offer you plenty of beaches to choose from, but certainly not all are created equal. Some are sandy, some are rocky and some are just plain hard to get to – but then you can reap the rewards of your efforts with your very own deserted hideout. In fact, there are enough beaches on Menorca that, if you so desired,

Salzburg

Follow in the Footsteps of Mozart in Salzburg

13 April, 2015

Although in later years the lovely city of Salzburg, in Austria, has become synonymous with the Sound of Music, before Leisel, before the Captain and before the world’s sweetest singing nun, another musical genius was the city’s proudest claim to fame: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The declarations of pride in Salzburg’s most beloved son are on display everywhere you turn in the city. Mozart’s Birthplace Prior to his life as a musical genius, Mozart was just an ordinary kid – so where else would you start but in his birthplace and childhood home? The third floor at number 9 Getreidegasse –

Kavos is a lively resort on the southern coast of the stunning Greek island of Corfu. Its days as a sleepy fishing village are long gone, and today Kavos is a thriving holiday destination, popular with fun-loving young tourists from the UK and Europe intent on squeezing on as much fun as they can handle! The nightlife of Kavos is legendary and there’s no doubt the main beachfront strip is party central as the sun goes down, but during the day there’s a very different kind of fun on offer – and, as is to be expected, most of it

Korfu

Be Inspired by the Culture of Corfu

8 April, 2015

The lush, often dramatic interior landscape of Corfu gives way to a picturesque coastline dotted with traditional villages and bustling tourist resorts. To describe the island’s topography as diverse is an understatement, with rolling verdant hills, sharp and craggy coastal cliffs, and peaceful cypress and olive groves filling in the spaces. One thing many visitors to the second largest of the Ionian islands of Greece find surprising, however, is the sheer depth and breadth of its history. With an ancient and established heritage, Corfu was the birthplace or home of many of the renowned Greek academics and philosophers. Today, fiercely

París

Three Quirky Museums to Visit in Paris

7 April, 2015

While Paris plays host to many of the world’s most iconic galleries (who hasn’t heard of the Louvre, the Musee d’Orsay and the Pompidou, for instance?), tucked into the pockets of her high-profile artistic cloak the city is also home to a host of lesser-known museums. Delightful in their eccentricity, many of these quirky establishments are, in fact, becoming more mainstream in their own right as more and more people discover how beguiling the culture of Paris can be, just slightly left-of-centre. Musee de la Poupee Appealing to both adults and children, the Musee de la Poupee is just a
