Amsterdam


1 Comment

Amsterdam beholds the picturesque postcard image of Holland with its 17th century   ring of canals and houses. It’s the capital of Holland with a vibrant atmosphere but also a symbol of the relaxed Dutch way of life. Amsterdam is home to some of the most prestigious museums and galleries of Holland.

Culture
With over 50 museums, Amsterdam is a haven for culture enthusiasts. Some of Amsterdam’s most famous museums include the Rijksmuseum with its golden age exhibition, The Van Gogh museum with a permanent collection of over 200 paintings,  the Anne Frank House dedicated to Jewish wartime diarist Anne Frank and the Hermitage Amsterdam, a dependence of the famous Hermitage museum of Saint Petersburg, Russia.
For the more curious, you can visit atypical museums such as the Museum of Bags & Purses or the Houseboat Museum. For an interactive experience, visit the Heineken brewery where you will learn about the brand in 4D. Visit also the trendy House of Bols to discover the secrets of Bols Liqueurs and Genevers produced in Amsterdam since 1575.

Christmas markets in Europe


0 Comments

Whether or not you choose to have a traditional Christmas, its worth visiting Central Europe at this time of year. Enjoy the year round charm of the big cities illuminated by Christmas lights, with luxurious shop window decorations displaying the most original gifts, and see traditional Christmas markets like the more than 50 markets in Berlin, the Historical Christmas Market in Hamburg, the markets in old quarter of Basel or the markets in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens.

The Marché de Noël, Christmas markets, in France or Brussels make for a perfect excuse to take a short break and indulge yourself in an idyllic setting. Don’t miss the Christmas market in the medieval city Bruges, nor the Brussels market or the popular Winter Wonderland where there is even a skating rink. And in France, the Strasbourg markets that have been running since the sixteenth century are considered as the most important in the country, together with the market in Toulouse, among others.

One of the most deep-rooted traditions in many European cities are the Christmas markets. By visiting them you’ll get to know the essence of Christmas tradition from its beginnings. Don’t miss out on seeing the Christmas markets scattered about the most picturesque streets of Prague, or Krakow‘s famous market located in Europe’s largest medieval square, or the traditional medieval market at the Town Hall Square in Tallinn.

A weekend at the beach in Croatia


0 Comments

 Late October is the perfect time to enjoy the beauty of Croatia. By avoiding the summer crowds, which make these paradise beaches infernal, and enjoying the sun, always present at the time, you are ensured an idyllic time.

So where do you go to get the most from the beaches of this beautiful country? You should know that Croatia is famous for its beautiful scenery and clear waters, but not specifically for the fine sandy beaches! You often find more stones, pebbles or even boulders, but few places are the exception.

 The best known is the beach of Zlatni Rat, on the island of Brac. The water color is incredible and the form of the beach is very special. It is a very nice place in this season. The other beach, equally beautiful, is located in Lumbarda on the island of Korcula. A stretch of sand with forest bordering it. With sun and freshness, it’s a cool program! These are almost the only sandy beaches in Croatia.

 Another possibility is Tucepi, near Makarska. You will find the longest beach on the Riviera, 3km bordered by a beautiful avenue of pines. It is the perfect setting aside the stones!

 Croatia is also known for its parties. And if you like dancing to electronic music, the beaches of Novalja and Zrce are perfect places for you. From May to October, there are thousands of revellers who come to party day and night on the music of the best DJ on the planet.

 Croatia offers many heavenly places, now you know a few, up to you to discover the others!

A weekend to Saffron’s celebration in Toledo


0 Comments

No idea what to do on the last weekend of October? You want to aerate your mind and enjoy a gastronomic and cultural moment in a magical place filled with history? I can assure you, you’re on the right blog!

  For this early fall weekend, we offer a celebration established in 1963, the Feast of the Rose Safran in Consuegra in Toledo province. This village, popularized by the famous hunter windmills, Don Quixote sees thousands of spectators gathering to celebrate the regional product.

 

The two main activities this weekend are “Molienda del Paz y del Amor” and the celebration of Safran. For the first, which starts in the early afternoon, requires participants to ride in the mountains where there are many mills baptized with names from the novel by Cervantes. Bags of wheat from all parts of Spain are then poured into the hopper by the Dulcinea of the year (prettiest girl in the region) to be traditionally milled. After this act is accomplished, every participant heads down to the village with their little bag of flour to attend the festivities.

 

The rest of the weekend is full of activities, folk festival, food festival of traditional cuisine of the region, contest of picking the rose of saffron, cultural activities and other sports.

So it’s a complete weekend in this beautiful region of Spain that awaits you. Do you have a better plan?

Book now your hotel in Toledo.

Istanbul travel guide


0 Comments

Istanbul, bridging the East and West

One of the key elements that make this city such a magic place is its attractive geographic location between two continents, Europe and Asia. Here visitors will be captivated by a mixture of colours and scents that give a special touch to the city. Everything in Istanbul makes it seem as though it were a scene out of One Thousand and One Nights: colours, carpets, bazaars

Still today, the magnitude of two of the most significant empires in history is appraised in this ancient capital: the Ottoman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. For this reason, in 1985 the historical quarters of Istanbul were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
