The best time to go out is on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Most clubs charge a cover (at its own discretion) and unfortunately, the doorpersons tend prey on foreigners. The best thing you can do is dress to the nines, and be nice!<br>To find your way, check the area list just below or scroll through all entertainment venues in the listings.<br><strong>Most popular areas</strong>:<br><strong>Plaça Reial</strong> area: Take some beers at el Glaciar or el Sidecar, after that try at el Club 13 (until 03.00), after that head to el Jamboree if you like hip hop, or el Karma if you prefer independent pop-rock (until 06.00).<br><strong>El Raval</strong> is the Barcelona's most diverse area with a mixture of cultures and atmospheres. It was much neglected until recently. Actually is full of small hip bars. Betweeen Ramblas del Raval and Paralelo street you'll find nice fashion pubs such "Las Guindas"&nbsp; or " La Confitería". For those who love the kitsch ambient you'll find th earea full of options such "Marseille" or "El Cangrejo". For clubbing it is a must to go to the "Moog" or to "Fellini".<br><strong>El Born and La Ribera</strong>, one of the trendiest areas to be in, combine the romanticism of the old city with the newly designed interiors of its numerous bars, clubs and restaurants. This area attracts couples and groups in their 30s looking for sophisticated, relaxing and intimate bars. Try at the "Local.bar", "suborn" and&nbsp; "the Maggic" for dancing.<br><strong>Poblenou</strong> area: Take some beers at l´Ovella, and after that try at Razzmatazz (one of the best clubs in town). In this hall were playing all the bands in their early tours (Chemical Brs, Massive Attack, Blur, Oasis, Coldplay)<br><strong>Vila Olimpica</strong> area: For low cost tourist, catalans say "ambiente guiri". Try at Baja club or Catwalk. Shoko club” is also nice ambient. It is full of pubs with a low cost trousit profile. Spanish &amp; Intrenational Music. All the area close at 3.00 am.<br><strong>Zona Alta</strong> area: Take your first beers at La Borsa (imported beers from worlwide), after that go to some disco or club in the area. The top is Luz de Gas, there you´ll find people up to 50 y/old men trying to met 20y/old girls, and 40 y/old women trying same with 20 y/old boys. If you want to met rich girls, that´s the place. For the nicest people. "Ambiente muy pijo". At the top of Tibidabo Hill there is an area featuring fashionable pubs &amp; club.&nbsp; For first drinks with nice views go to Miralblau and then for dancing go to the Danzatoria Disco or to the Roswood Club.<br><strong>For gay and lesbian</strong>: <p>For gays &amp; lesbians, visit the area called the "Gayeixample" -- a city area that stretches from Casanova to Paseo de Gracia and from Aragon to Gran Vía. Many places can be found on Diputación Street &amp; in Casanova with Aragon. Disco “Arena” for the guys and “Aire” for lesbians are highly recommended. If you are looking for stronger sensations, you'll find the disco La Metro to your liking. <p>Simbiosis<br>Edit This</p> <p>This is the place to go to when you want to see live concerts and DJ's in an original setting.<br>type:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dancing<br>World66 rating:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [rate it]<br>address:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C/Riereta 5<br>tel:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; +34 93 443 10 71<br>Villalola<br>Edit This</p> <p>Villalola is a gentlemen's club where the girls will give the company you are looking for while you drink the best GinTonics in Barcelona.

Las minas de oro eran el principal activo económico de la región.<br>Durante todo el medievo, el Reino de Bohemia era un reino que gozaba de gran estabilidad, el siglo X, el XI, así hasta el XV, cuando las cosas comezaron a cambiar. La edad de oro de esta región se vivió durante el Siglo XIV, siglo en el que entre otras cosas se fundó la Universidad Carolina de Praga, la Universidad más importante, histórica y antigua de Europa Central.<br>Fue a la muerte de Carlos IV cuando la región comenzó su declive, su caída, su decadencia, a la desaparición del monarca le siguió la inestabilidad política y las injerencias de la Iglesia.<br>Ya en el Siglo XVI, Fernando I de Habsburgo llega al trono de la región, y esta casa real ocupa la corona checa por más de cuatro siglos, si bien en esta época Bohemia sufre varias guerras como la de los 30 años, la guerra de los siete años… Bohemia se convirtió en el corazón de la monarquía en la región.<br>Ya en el siglo XX Bohemia sufre las consecuencias del colapso en el Imperio Austro Húngaro tras la I Guerra Mundial. Los checos y los eslovacos se unen para formar Checoslovaquia, y declararse así como República Independiente en 1918. Esta unión llegó hasta 1938, cuando la Alemania Nazi se anexionó a parte la república Checa y Eslovaquia declaró su independencia. La otra parte de la República Checa fue invadida un año más tarde.<br>Tras la II Guerra Mundial, Checoslovaquia volvió a unirse y se alineó en el conocido como Telón de Acero, formado por países del este con tendencia política comunista, eran los conocidos como países satélite de la URSS. Esta situación se prolongó hasta fines del Siglo XX, cuando la URSS comenzó a perder peso en la sociedad checa, y dentro de su propio país, eran tiempos en los que la democracia fue venciendo, y la República Checa y Eslovaquia optan, en 1993, por la separación, que perdura hasta nuestros días. En 1991, la República Checa se unió a la OTAN y en 2004 pasó a pertenecer a la Unión Europea.<br>Actualmente, gracias a ciudades como Praga, que es Patrimonio Cultural de la UNESCO, la República Checa se ha convertido en uno de los principales destinos turísticos europeos, con numerosas posibilidades de disfrutar de museos, monumentos, edificios emblemáticos y centros históricos ideales para disfrutar.

A small country, Switzerland's very name conjures up images of chocolates, cheese, watches, bankers, and snow-capped mountains.<br>Switzerland was inhabited by a Celtic tribe called Helvetia in the ancient times. It became a part of the Holy Roman Empire in AD 1032 but soon succumbed to the mighty Habsburgs of Germany. The death of the Habsburg ruler Rudolf I in AD 1291 led to the formation of the Swiss Confederation. Switzerland was declared a neutral state following the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 and was accorded permanent neutrality in 1815 by the Congress of Vienna. A new federal constitution came into force in 1848 and Bern became the capital city. The Swiss remained neutral in both the World Wars.<br>The picturesque city of Zurich, located on the banks of the Limmat River, is the intellectual and cultural capital of Switzerland and the hub of tourist activity. The 13th-century St. Peter's Church and the Fraum?nster Church are two important sights. An evening walk along the banks of Lake Z?rich or the alleys of the old town will cover almost all the attractions of the city.<br>On the banks of the River Rh?ne is Geneva, a city that houses over 200 international organisations. The ropeway journey to Mont Sal?ve offers a breathtaking view of the entire city. The Cathedral St Pierre, Place du Bourg-de-Four, Museum of Art and History, Petit Palais, Museum of Old Musical Instruments, and the Horology Museum are some attractions of Geneva.<br>The four different parts (German speaking, French speaking, Italian speaking and Romansch speaking...) of the country all have a very distinct atmosphere which makes it an adventure to explore. Switzerland is nature's playground and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. The Alps and the Jura slopes are great places for skiing. Hiking, mountaineering and ski mountaineering, paragliding and hang-gliding, water-skiing, sailing, windsurfing, rafting, and canoeing are some of the outdoor activities that you can undertake in Switzerland.<br>Since Switzerland is in the middle of the Alps outdoor opportunities like hiking or skiing are better than anywhere else.

It remained a Roman province until the 4th century AD. The population reached a high level of civilization Important cities such as Geneva Basel and Zurich were linked by military roads that also served as trade arteries between Rome and the northern tribes.<br>After the decline of the Roman Empire, Switzerland was invaded by Germanic tribes from the north and west. Some tribes in central and northeastern of Switzerland and western of Switzerland settled there. In 800 the country became part of Charlemagne's empire. It later passed under the dominion of the German emperors.<br>In 1291 representatives of the three forest cantons of Uri Schwyz and Unterwalden signed the Eternal Alliance. This united them in the struggle against foreign rule by the Hapsburgs who then held the German imperial throne. At the battle of Morgarten in 1315 the Swiss defeated the Hapsburg army and secured quasi-independence within the German Empire as the Swiss Confederation.<br>Under the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 European countries recognized Switzerland's independence from the Holy Roman Empire and its neutrality.<br>In 1798 armies of the French Revolution conquered Switzerland. The Treaty of Vienna and the Second Peace of Paris in 1815 re-established Swiss independence and the powers participating in the Congress of Vienna agreed to recognize Swiss permanent neutrality.<br>Switzerland adopted a federal constitution in 1848 modeled in part on the U.S. Constitution. The Swiss amended their constitution extensively in 1874 establishing federal responsibility for defense trade and legal matters. Since then continued political economic and social improvement has characterized Swiss history. The Swiss did not participate in either world wars.<br>________Getting Around<br>Edit This<br>Postauto on the Flüelapass<br>Postauto on the Flüelapass<br>Roland Zumbühl<br>The easiest way to get around in Switzerland is with the public transport system.

GDP growth was a minus 0.2% in 1996 and a weak plus 0.4% in 1997. Weak domestic consumer demand is partly at fault; stagnating real disposable income combines with a reluctance to reduce saving rates in the face of an uncertain employment outlook. Switzerland's leading sectors including financial services biotechnology pharmaceuticals and special-purpose machines therefore are more reliant on export markets. Exports should lead an upturn in Swiss economic performance in 1998-99 provided the franc does not appreciate substantially as a result of Swiss monetary policy or instability in the run up to EMU.<br>GDP: purchasing power parity—$172.4 billion (1997 est.)<br>GDP—real growth rate: 0.4% (1997 est.)<br>GDP—per capita: purchasing power parity—$23 800 (1997 est.)<br>GDP—composition by sector:<br>agriculture: 2.8% <br>industry: 3322<br>services: 66.1% (1995)<br>Inflation rate—consumer price index: -0.1% (1997)<br>Labor force:<br>total: 3.8 million (850 000 foreign workers mostly Italian)<br>by occupation: services 67% manufacturing and construction 29% agriculture and forestry 4% (1995)<br>Unemployment rate: 5% (1997 est.)<br>Budget:<br>revenues: $25.8 billion<br>expenditures: $30.8 billion including capital expenditures of $2.3 billion (1997)<br>Industries: machinery chemicals watches textiles precision instruments<br>Industrial production growth rate: 0% (1996)<br>Electricity—capacity: 14.27 million kW (1995)<br>Electricity—production: 55 billion kWh (1996)<br>Electricity—consumption per capita: 6 850 kWh (1996 est.)<br>Agriculture—products: grains fruits vegetables; meat eggs<br>Exports:<br>total value: $99.2 billion (f.o.b. 1997)<br>commodities: machinery 29% chemicals 26% metals 8% agricultural products 4% (1996)<br>partners: EU countries 61% US 9% Japan 4% (1996)<br>Imports:<br>total value: $86.6 billion (c.i.f. 1997)<br>commodities: machinery 22% chemicals 20% metals 8% agricultural products 910% (1996)<br>partners: EU 79% US 7% Japan 3% (1996)<br>Debt—external: $NA<br>Economic aid:<br>donor: ODA $1.034 billion (1995)<br>Currency: 1 Swiss franc franken or franco (SFR) = 100 centimes rappen or centesimi<br>Exchange rates: Swiss francs franken or franchi (SFR) per US$1—1.4757 (January 1998) 1.4513 (1997) 1.2360 (1996) 1.1825 (1995) 1.3677 (1994) 1.4776 (1993)<br>Fiscal year: calendar year<br>________Day Trips<br>Edit This<br>Lake Zurich<br>Lake Zurich<br>stuart<br>For a fun and relatively inexpensive way to spend a day, take the morning train from Zurich through Bern to Interlaken.

Its long-standing patronage of the arts has resulted in a ponoply of first-rate museums and galleries, which are well worth visiting, as is its historic centre.

On the left bank (Grossbasel), one can trace the history of Basel in the old town that is ruled by the M?nster cathedral where the bones of the reformist Erasmus are buried.<br>Basel's sights can be easily explored on foot. The highest concentration of sights is around the old marketplace and the cathedral. The hilly surroundings of the city offer some excellent views and walks.

The area is part of the southeastern canton of Graubünden, "the holiday corner of Switzerland" and home to some of the best developed winter sports centers in the world: Arosa, Klosters, Flims, St. Moritz and Pontrèsina. Apart from these tourist centers, the canton is relatively unspoiled, boasting beautiful alpine lakes and exquisite mountain settings.<br>Davos was once hugely popular with Brits, but has fallen out of favor and is now dominated by the Swiss themselves and Germans. Few resorts in the world have more extensive slopes, or offer more for all standards. But the area has one small drawback: it is split into several unlinked sectors.

Seven distinct ski areas have been developed in the immediate area, so snow sports enthusiasts can spend a week and ski a different resort every day. From west to east along the northern face are the resorts of Schatzalp/Strela, Parsenn, Gotschna, and Madrisa. On the opposite side of the valley, you can ski or board at Pischa, Jakobshorn, or the Rinerhorn. The Parsenn is the largest and most familiar of the group. A wide selection of terrain offers satisfying skiing for all ability levels. The area is renowned for its off-piste skiing and long cruisers.<br>Although the mountain setting is spectacular, much of Davos’ architecture is undistinguished. The area has the hustle and bustle of a busy town, with only two major roads to handle the flow of traffic. The ski areas are widely spread along the mountain faces and are easily accessible from town, but only some are connected by lifts. Many lift and cable car systems have been renovated in the course of the last decade. This together with the completely new 'Parsenn' tram means that the long queues during peak times have become a thing of the past. Furthermore, the transit system between ski areas is excellent.<br>Après-ski options are abundant.

Grindelwald has become a popular destination for people from all over the world to pursue numerous sports, or a variety of recreational activities, as well as just for relaxation. Swiss guests alone provide for one fifth of the total bed nights and the majority of apartment rentals (130,000 overnight stays per year).

Its status became 'official' however with the launch of the The Jungfrau Top Ski Region, containing more than 160 Km (100 miles) of trails in ski centers above Grindelwald , all linked to Interlaken by a mountain railway included in a ski pass. The average length of runs in the area is a remarkable six - 12 KM (four - nine miles). With the pass, it's possible to ski a different ski area every day for a week.<br>The name 'Interlaken' actually means "between the lakes" - Lake Thun and Lake Brienz to be precise and water is omnipresent throughout the area with idyllic clear mountain streams and waterfalls running off the hills and into the lakes. The resort offers dozens of water-based activities, throughout the year. If you ever got bored of sliding on the cold white variety you can always enjoy anything from a cruise on a lake steamer to just feeding the ducks or even frog watching! Visitors first started arriving at Interlaken long before downhill skiing was conceived. One of them, Lord Byron, famously remarked "it's a dream" on first seeing the town. The first hotels opened their doors in 1806, complementing the existing monastery hospice (now the four star hotel Interlaken) with the boom years beginning in the 1860's. Much of the beautiful architecture and grand design date from this 50-year era up to the First World War, but the impressive exteriors hide equally impressive fully modernized interiors, enabling Interlaken to offer the best of old and new.

Furthermore, the transit system between ski areas is excellent.<br>Après-ski options are abundant.

After that, it grew increasingly in importance, especially under the rule of Mayor Hans Waldmann (15th century). 1519 saw the beginning of the Reformation under the leadership of Ulrich Zwingli.<br>During the 19th century, Alfred Escher transformed Zürich into a trade and business centre (machine and textile industry, banks, insurance companies, tourism), not in the least because of the founding of the Zürich Stock Exchange in 1877. This gave the city the fourth rank on the world's list and made it into what it still is: Switzerland's most important business centre and the world's gold trading centre.<br>The Old Town consists of narrow streets which can be easily explored on foot. Along the riverside, you can find baroque guildhouses that tell their own version of the city's past. Winding streets that show a nostalgic Zürich or maybe even expose the city's fringe - just give way for the enthusiasm this inspirited and colourful (both with houses and people) city appeals. You will find a myriad of small boutiques, antique shops, bars and cafes in the Old Town on the left bank of the Limmat.<br>The main shopping area is concentrated nearby the main train station ('Hauptbahnhof'). Stroll down the famous 'Bahnhofstrasse' - one of the most beautiful shopping streets in Europe - towards 'Paradeplatz' and the lake. Here you will find all sorts of elegant boutiques, department stores and specialist shops with a rich selection of high quality goods. When you feel like it, take a tour on the river so you can lay eyes on the nice skyline of Zürich.<br>If you are on a budget, you do not have to avoid the city. Try doing just the windows shopping on Bahnhofstrasse, but move over to the other side of the river Limmat for your catering needs. The Niederdorf offers plenty of cheaper places to buy, eat and drink. Although considered Zürich's most touristy area, you still find some pretty genuine places here - just wander through the narrow lanes with their old houses, many of which date back to the 14th century.<br>Besides being a business centre and a shopping paradise (for the wealthy, that is), Zürich is known for 'culture': Old Churches, such as the 'Grossmünster' and the 'Fraumünster' with stained glass windows by Marc Chagall; art galleries with the finest collections, amongst them Chagall, Miro and Picasso and museums for all sorts of tastes. Try to stay at least two days. This will give you the time to explore not only the city by daylight but also Zürich's exciting and varied nightlife, ranging from jazzy bars and popular discos to cabaret performances in smokey clubs.<br>If you plan to stay over night, Zürich offers a wide variety of amusements. There is not only the famous Schauspielhaus (which kept German drama alive during the 2nd world war), but some small but fine theatres with less well known ensembles that offer exquisite drama. As for a small city of less than 400,000 inhabitants, Zürich also has excellent movie theatres (for a price, though). Unlike in Germany, movies here are not dubbed and mostly shown in their original language with German and French subtitles - and usually you'll see good copies.<br>However, if you want to get in touch with the aboriginals here, you have to make your way into areas like Aussersihl (Zürich's still very lively working class district with plenty of good foreign restaurants and an astonishing diversity of people from all kinds of nations) or the newly developped center ('Zürich West') around Escher-Wyss Platz , which was the former inustrial area of the city. Here you find the "in" places: bars, restaurants, clubs, all of which are frequented by the locals and offering a more insider sight of the richest city in Europe.</b></p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1673257833759830659-3682522393537570967?l=europabynight.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IEntHx_02d19Sdy8oGi3VnYVQns/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IEntHx_02d19Sdy8oGi3VnYVQns/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IEntHx_02d19Sdy8oGi3VnYVQns/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IEntHx_02d19Sdy8oGi3VnYVQns/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EuropeByNight/~4/rGEZRgwI13c" height="1" width="1"/>Eventi Speciali News24http://www.blogger.com/profile/07513775891192465458noreply@blogger.com0http://europabynight.blogspot.com/2011/12/switzerland-travel-guide.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673257833759830659.post-80304055049298373682011-12-14T21:59:00.001-08:002011-12-14T21:59:31.414-08:002011-12-14T21:59:31.414-08:00<p><b>Thanks to <a href="http://www.world66.com/">http://www.world66.com/</a><br>*********************The content is published under a creative commons licence :<br><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0</a> / ).</b> <p><b>Marbella Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Content photo from marbella virtual tour<br>Content photo from marbella virtual tour<br>www.360widgets.com<br>A hotel with a family atmosphere situated in the quiet area of the town-centre close to the Poniente and Levante beach, within easy reach of the bars, shops and restaurants.

For 1-4 people, this is relatively easy, you can simply jump in a waiting taxi and negotiate the cost with the Spanish driver. Taxis are reasonably inexpensive, and you'll find a chart of rates at the airport so you should be able to get a reasonable idea of cost before even getting in a taxi. The majority of taxis will not be metered, in which case the driver will carry a booket of the official rates authorised by the local town hall. Be careful though, as supplements may apply, such as extra baggage, night service, etc so it would be wise to clarify the price in advance as unscrupulous taxi drivers have been known to charge more to unsuspecting tourists. If you are travelling in a larger group or if you wish to be certain you will have a vehicle waiting for you on your arrival then you can book with a private hire operator, such as Club Tours Marbella, who operate a minibus airport transfer service. The rates are competitive, they are English run and can offer travel for up to 8 passengers with plenty of room for luggage, golf clubs etc. Visit their website at www.clubtoursmarbella.com <br>____________Tours and Excursions<br>Edit This<br>Tours and Excursions in Marbella...<br>[Add New]<br>Horse Riding Excursion in Marbella, Costa del Sol<br>Edit This<br>The Marbella Club Golf Resort offers a new private riding centre.

Count Dracula. Nearby stands the oldest church in Bucharest , Church Saint Anton, which unfortunately rebuilt many times does not keep too much of its old look.<br>In case the noisy and crowded streets of the center get you down, be sure to visit the Cismigiu Gardens (1860), an old and historical park located downtown or Herastrau Park, located just a couple of metro stops from the city center.<br>In Bucharest there is broad range of cultural events at fairly low prices.

It bears some resemblance to Prague, but is larger and friendlier. The picturesque setting on two sides of the Danube, the nine connecting bridges, and the villas and public buildings from the fin-de-siècle era really make Budapest one of the most enjoyable cities in Europe.</b> <p><b>Budapest is composed of three cities: Buda, and Obuda on the west side of the river looking over the much larger Pest on the opposite side. To simplify it for tourists, Obuda and Buda are often just refered to as Buda, the bourgeois section with its palaces and spas, and the more commercial area is known as Pest. At first, the hills of Buda were the safe core of the twin cities, but as Buda and Pest were united with Óbuda (Ancient Buda) the plains of Pest became the centre of the growing metropolis.<br>Today, the most famous landmark of Budapest is the Parliament building on the banks of the Danube. From a distance it looks a lot like the English Houses of Parliament,</b> <p><b>with Big Ben conspicuously absent. The best view of the Parliament can be had from Castle Hill, a Budapest highlight itself. This collection of palaces, churches and monuments has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and is a must see for every tourist. Budapest has some very good museums as well, including the National Museum (Nemzeti Muzeum), the Museum of Fine Arts (Szepmuveszeti Muzeum), National Gallery (Nemzeti Galeria) and the Historical Museum of Budapest.<br>Budapest has become a very lively city, with many good restaurants and a nightlife scene you need to check out to believe. By day, you can roam the city, explore a museum, visit some churches, or take your pick of a dozen or so types of coffee in one of the cafés. By night you can have dinner at either a cheap or a fancy restaurant, go to the opera, and afterwards dance the night away.<br>Getting around Budapest is very simple due to BKV (Budapest Kozlekedesi Vallalat-Budapest transportation system). This system has busses, subways, trams, trolley's, urban trains running throughout the city and outer-skirts. If you would like to have more information on BKV, this public orginization hosts a site: www.bkv.hu .<br>Crime is not a big issue. Pickpocketing is the most common type of crime. To prevent this from happening to you, put all your valuable possesions in a belt bag, or on a neck bag. One more type of crime is taxi drivers ripping you off. Ways of avoiding this is to call the taxi before hand, making sure the taxi has his pay clock on, and asking for a receipt. One more way of avoiding this is using BKV.<br>If you use caution in Budapest, you will find that this wonderful city is like none other. Budapest is the heart of a wonderful nation, a nation that is just now catching up with western Europe. People do not want to be compared with Paris; they want to be known as Budapest, the capital of Hungary.<br>__________Sights<br>Edit This<br>photo<br>www.neprajz.hu<br>Budapest is a beautiful city with more than enough to see to keep even the most demanding visitor happy. The thermal baths of Budapest are famous, and certainly worth a visit. Or you can climb the hill to the citadel for a good view over the city. The Castle District alone is enough to keep you occupied for at least a day. This UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Buda side of town encloses several palaces, museum, churches, and is one of the main tourist attractions in Budapest. A kilometer or so further along lies the citadel on top of another hill. At the statue of Liberty you have a great view over Buda, Pest and the elaborate green cast iron Szabadsag bridge.<br>On the Pest side of town is also much to be seen. There is the area around Hero Sqare (Hosok tere), with several museums, an architectural oddity (Vajdahunyad castle), the zoo, and the stately residential area where most of the embassies in Budapest are located.

Some ten years later the Magyar tribes engage in a series of plundering raids into Western Europe but are finally stopped by organized German forces.<br>King Stephen of the Magyars adopts Christianity and founds the Hungarian state in the year 1000. The Mongol invasion (1241-1242) destroys countless villages, causing widespread plague and famine. In the 14th century the Anjou kings take the throne of Hungary. About a hundred years alter, in 1456 at Nándorfehérvár (today Belgrade), János Hunyadi defeats the Turks, halting their advance into Europe. Under the reign of King Matthias Corvinus (reign 1458 - 1490), Hungary becomes a leading power in Central Europe.<br>Years 1500 – 1900<br>György Dózsa &amp; Yakeata Botom heads a massive peasant revolt in 1514, which is crushed. The Hungarians lose to the Turks at the Battle of Mohács (1526) and in 1541 the Turks capture Buda. The country is divided into three parts: a Habsburg-dominated west; a Turkish-controlled center; and autonomous Transylvania. Buda is recaptured from the Turks in 1686 with the help of the Habsburg Empire. The Turks are expelled from Hungary in 1699. Ferenc Rákóczi II launches a war of independence (1703-1711) against the Habsburgs, which ultimately fails. 1820s - The 'Reform Era' dawns, heralding a Hungarian national awakening. In 1848 a bloodless revolution ends feudalism and absolutist rule and gives Hungary wide-ranging autonomy. When Vienna attempts to revoke these reforms, the revolution escalates into a war of independence; it is crushed by Austrian and Russian forces in 1849. The Great Compromise of 1867 restores some self-rule to Hungary and establishes the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy. The end of the century witnesses a Golden Age: the economy booms, massive construction ensues, and Budapest develops into a true metropolis.<br>20th Century<br>First World War brings the Golden Age to an end. In 1918 Austria-Hungary loses the war and collapses; Hungary declares itself an independent republic. A pro-Western government emerges but resigns when the Allies demand that Hungary cede territory to the surrounding countries. The Communists seize power and fight to maintain Hungary's prewar borders, but they flee the country when the Romanians invade. In 1920 the Treaty of Trianon finalizes the country's partition, reducing Hungary's size by two-thirds and turning the multinational state into a nation-state. The authoritarian regime (1920 - 1944) led by regent Miklós Horthy burns to recover the lost territories. In this effort it seeks, and receives, help from Nazi Germany. As a result, parts of these lands are recovered between 1938 and 1941. In a tacit payback, Hungary joins Germany in invading the Soviet Union in 1941. Soviet counterattacks nearly annihilate the Hungarian forces. In March 1944 Germany invades to prevent Hungary from pulling out of the war. Up to 560,000 Hungarian Jews are murdered during the German occupation. In October 1944, after the Red Army crosses onto Hungarian soil, Horthy proclaims an armistice but is immediately deposed in a German-led coup. The Red Army launches a siege of Budapest on Christmas 1944. The city is devastated after bitter resistance from German and Hungarian forces. Nationwide, the guns fall silent in April 1945; the entire country is in Soviet hands. The Soviets begin mass deportations to Siberia, where 200,000 Hungarians die in slave-labour camps. Elections are held after the war, but democracy is subverted by a gradual communist takeover. In 1949 Hungary is declared a communist People's Republic. Secret police terror, forced displays of loyalty and worsening living standards generate widespread resentment.<br>1956 &amp; Beyond<br>1956, October 23: Outbreak of the Hungarian Revolution. The Stalinist dictatorship collapses after mass demonstrations. But Soviet tanks enter Budapest to crush the revolt. Fighting continues until early November, leaving more than 3000 dead. Communist Party leader János Kádár is installed into power by the Soviets. 1958, June 16: Imre Nagy, prime minister during the Hungarian Revolution, is executed by the new regime. 1962, November 20-24: The Eighth Party Congress is held. In order to secure UN recognition, the Kádár regime announces an amnesty for those imprisoned for participating in the revolution. 1968, January 1: The New Economic Mechanism takes effect.

November 29 - Insisting on the preservation of the party-state, Party leader Grósz warns that the democratic opposition wants a 'bourgeois restoration' that will trigger bloody anti-communist reprisals. 1989, February 11: The Communist Party's Central Committee, responding to 'public dissatisfaction', announces it will permit a multi-party system in Hungary and hold free elections. March 15 - For the first time in decades, the government declares the anniversary of the 1848 Revolution a national holiday. Opposition demonstrations fill the streets of Budapest with more than 75,000 marchers, culminating that evening in a candlelight procession across the Chain Bridge. March 24 - Meeting Grósz in Moscow, Mikhail Gorbachev condones Hungary's moves toward a multi-party system and promises that the USSR will not interfere in Hungary's internal affairs. May 2 - Hungary begins taking down its barbed-wire fence along the Austrian border - the first tear in the Iron Curtain. May 31 - The statue of Lenin standing along Dózsa György út is hauled away 'for repairs'. It never returns. June 16 - The reburial of Prime Minister Nagy, executed after the 1956 Revolution, draws a crowd of 250,000 at Heroes' Square. The last speaker, 26-year-old Viktor Orbán, publicly calls for Soviet troops to leave Hungary. July 6 - János Kádár dies. July 11 - US President George Bush visits Budapest. September 10 - Foreign Minister Gyula Horn announces that East German refugees in Hungary will not be repatriated but will instead be allowed to go to the West. The resulting exodus shakes East Germany and hastens the fall of the Berlin Wall. September 18 - After three months of negotiations, the government and the opposition reach agreement on legal and political reforms. October 7 - The Communist Party renounces Marxism and votes to dissolve itself. October 23 - The communist People's Republic is terminated, and the Republic of Hungary is proclaimed. November 26 - In Hungary's first democratic referendum, voters decide by a razor-thin margin that the president should be elected by Parliament. 1990: March 10 - The Socialist government reaches an agreement with Moscow on the withdrawal of the 50,000 Soviet troops stationed in Hungary.

The dispute eventually reaches the International Court of Justice. 1993: January 8 - The heads of the state-run Hungarian radio and television resign, charging that the government is interfering politically in their work. December 12 - Prime Minister Antall dies. Péter Boross of the MDF officially succeeds him nine days later. 1994: May 29 - In parliamentary elections, the Socialists (the former Communists) win 33% of the vote -- a stunning comeback from their 1990 defeat.

Pest's districts are IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXIII.<br>Money<br>Hungarian currency is Forint (abbreviated as Ft. or HUF). Banknotes come in denominations of 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000 and 200 HUF, coins in circulation are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. Please note that some exchange offices charge a commission of up to 10%. Major credit cards are accepted by most restaurants, shops and supermarkets.<br>Opening Hours<br>Shops in Budapest are normally open from 10:00 to 18:00 on weekdays and from 10:00 to 13:00 on Saturday. Though, shopping malls and many supermarkets are open till 20:00-22:00. In residential areas and downtown you can also find round-the-clock shops ('non-stop') that sell bread, grocery, dairy, soft drinks, spirits and cigarettes. Most museums are open from 10:00 to 18:00 and closed on Mondays.

Not only are the majority of sights that tend to be of interest to visitors located fairly close together, but an outstanding transport system serves all of Budapest's 23 districts.<br>Budapest has one of the best Public transport systems in Europe, covering travel on buses, trolley-buses, trams, the underground (Metro), and surface urban railway (HÉV) One ticket is good for a one-way journey on any of these. If you change to a different form of transport, or change metro lines, you must use a new ticket. (This is often checked and fines can be imposed, see below.) You can buy single tickets from machines at metro stations and tram-stops, or at kiosks and magazine stands in the metro stations during business hours. To use a single ticket, you must validate it by putting it into the special "puncher" machine at the metro entrance, or on the bus/tram/trolley-bus. (you need a bit of muscle to operate the older non-electronic punchers.)<br>Transport is great value in Budapest. The transport systems can take you everywhere fast, so you may use it more than you might expect. Thus tickets, or books of tickets will be used up apace. We often find that a pass is a better deal for short visits. (Then you don't need to worry about validating new tickets all the time.) This is great value, especially the Budapest card, if you are planning to hit the museums. Sold at many Hotels and hostels.<br>Public transport usually operates from 04:30 to 23:00, and at night 15 bus and 2 tram lines are in service.<br>Ticket Controls are quite frequent and fines are high (2,000 HUF). Inspections are performed by BKV agents wearing red armbands.<br>Contributors<br>July 12, 2005 change by giorgio (1 point)<br>[Add Local transport mode]<br>Metro<br>Edit This<br>Budapest 's 3 metro lines cross at Deák Ferenc Tér in the town centre. Taking the metro is fast as they come every 3-6 minutes during working hours. They operate from 4:30 am to 11pm and outside of these times their routes are roughly matched by surface night buses (see below.) If you have a single ticket, be sure to punch it, up in front of the escalators before going down to the platform.There is a regular check up inside the metro. More so on sundays than any other day of the week, the fines are high for traveling without a ticket! It is easy to navigate the metro, as there more..<br>World66 rating: [rate it]<br>Taxi<br>Edit This<br>Taxi fares are of course much higher than the BKV public transport system. It is worth bearing in mind that rush hour traffic can make the latter a much smoother and faster alternative. If you want to take taxi, ordering it by phone will make the ride cheaper (up to 25%), and will avoid disreputable taxis who will take you all round the town and charge you an arm and a leg for the privilege.

The routes are simple to learn and services very regular through the day. Again, watch for pickpockets and if travelling on business, be aware that a tram's magnetic field can sometimes de-magnetise computer disks.<br>World66 rating: [rate it]<br>Buses and Trolley-buses<br>Edit This<br>These are effectively the same thing. Trolley-buses run on overhead electric cables and are more environmentally friendly, a lot slower and tend to service commuter routes. Routes and schedules for both are posted at bus stops. Routes marked with an "E" (Éjszaka) are only Night transport services. These follow similar routes to the metro lines, so you can always get home. Also, buses marked in red are the fast services. There is usually an equivalent to the red one, in black or green, which is slower but covers more stops.<br>Buses can be quite crowded at rush hour and you more..<br>World66 rating: [rate it]<br>Bus Tours<br>Edit This<br>There are several companies that offer tours of the city by bus.

The old Terminal 1 building is now used for cargo flights only. By Train: Budapest has three large international railway stations:<br>Keleti pályaudvar (Eastern Station) which is the main terminus for international rail services from Western Europe<br>Nyugati (Western Station) handles international traffic heading east to Romania and Slovakia, and is an sight in it’s own right.

It’s recommended that you check-in at least one hour before departure and often baggage is limited to one suitcase plus hand luggage. More is very unpractical anyway. When arriving from Eastern European countries you probably end up at Nép Stadion.<br>_____________Coffee houses<br>Edit This<br>Like Vienna, Budapest has a fair amount of coffee houses where you can enjoy one of the many coffee specialities and some delicious pastry. The great advantage over Vienna is of course the friendly prices in Budapest. The choise in coffee is just as great (and confusing). Strong esspresso, milky lattes, iced coffee, lovely concoctions of coffy, moccha and whipped cream, and every other variety that has ever been dreamt up.<br>[Add New]<br>Ruszwurm Cukrászda<br>Edit This<br>Established in 1824, this Biedermeier café is still very popular for its variety of cakes and ice cream.<br>type: general<br>World66 rating: [rate it]<br>tel: 175-5284<br>address: Szentháromság utca 7<br>open: 10am-7pm daily<br>Café Gerbaud<br>Edit This<br>Outside the Café Gerbeaud<br>Outside the Café Gerbeaud<br>photo by: Martin Falley http://www.ungarnurlaub.de<br>Colin Clarke: Nice and busy square, but cafe full of tourists.

It's where King Istvan (St. Stephen) was crowned as the first christian king of Hungary in 1000 AD. After being destroyed by the invading Mongols and Turks and only gradually rebuilt in the 18th and 19 century, today, the town itself is rather bland. What makes Esztergom worth visiting is the magnificent cathedral. This building dominates the whole town and, located on a hill, can be seen from miles away.

It was founded in the 14th century by Greek and Serbian refugees who fled from the Turks. Although they struggled with invasians, they managed to hold on to their orthodox religion, as is testified by the many small orthodox churches still in Szentendre. After most of the Serbs moved away during the Habsburg era, the town lost it's commercial importance and became just another quiet little town on the Danube.

Not too sure what to expect during a trip to Cannes? If the answer is yes and yes, then there are a few things you should know about this awe-inspiring resort city on the fabulous French Riviera.<br>Cannes is famous for couture, clothing-optional beaches, and the Carlton. And of course, Cannes is the place where Coco Chanel got that famous tan that sparked a worldwide obsession with the deepest, darkest shade one could possibly achieve. </b> <p><b>Crea il tuo Itinerario preferito Risparmiando!

You will definitely hear less and less about what Cannes is really about and more and more about who's wearing (and not wearing) what to the Cannes International Film Festival during the first half of the year.<br>If you must go during festival time (or if you want to), be prepared for plenty of flashing cameras, celebrities galore, controlled chaos, and no vacancy signs at the Carlton, Hotel Martinez, and just about any other hotel or Chateau from Cannes to Nice and beyond.</b> <p><b>Also, you will have a tough time getting into many Cannes restaurants during this time as well and your chances of getting into a screening are nearly nearly zero percent. If you can avoid taking a Cannes vacation during this time, great! When the town isn't so focused on celebrities and film, you can enjoy everything Cannes has to offer to the very fullest - and then some.<br>Cannes enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate year around, so with the exception of the mid-May, when the Cannes International Film Festival takes place, anytime is a good time to go. While you will find plenty of tourists here every single month of the year, summer is the most popular time to go. The beaches, promenades, boutiques, nightclubs, and restaurants are at their peak and people are really just out to have a good time when the temperature is at its hottest. Some of the most popular Cannes activities and attractions include: Plage de la Croisette, Promenade de la Croisette, Iles de Lerins, Musee de la Castre, the old town of Cannes, Ile St. Honorat, the Carlton, and Notre Dame de Bon Voyage to name a few.<br>So, now that you know a bit more about Cannes and what it has to offer, here is a bit of information about getting there. If you're flying, you will arrive at Nice International Airport ( www.nice.aeroport.fr). Nice is roughly 16 miles from Cannes and the drive from the airport is around 30 minutes.

This is seen most clearly today in the Dresden Palace, for example, which presents traces of practically every style period of European architecture. Nevertheless, the contemporary fame of Dresden's architecture is founded on its Baroque buildings. As Kings of Poland, Augustus the Strong and his son had Dresden transformed into one of the most exquisite royal residences in Europe. Impressive testimonies to the Baroque period are today the Zwinger by Pöppelmann and Permoser, the Blockhaus, the Taschenberg Palais and George Bähr's Frauenkirche church. The Classicist years represented a second important zenith for the City's development with the art gallery and opera house by Gottfried Semper and Schinkel's guardhouse on Theaterplatz square.<br>The rapid growth of the City from the second half of the 19th century was not only a period of important technical and urban planning achievements, but also added further outstanding buildings into the Dresden townscape. The City was thus able to maintain its already famous townscape, while at the same time introducing innovative architecture. Hans Erlwein, for example, created a series of pioneering municipal buildings, and the district of Hellerau was the first "garden town" in Germany. The severe destruction at the end of the Second World War robbed Dresden of many of its architectural monuments. In the meantime, however, endlessly painstaking work, under the supervision of committed and expert monument curators, has succeeded in restoring the City's reputation as a pearl of European architecture.<br>Contributors<br>November 15, 2006 change by giorgio<br>Display all<br>or display just:<br>Churches<br>Hotspots Museums<br>Other Sights Palaces<br>Show best rated on top | Show in alphabetical order<br>[Add Sight]<br>Rüstkammer<br>Edit This<br>type: Museums<br>World66 rating: [rate it]<br>address: Zwinger, Semperbau, 01067 Dresden<br>tel: (0351) 491 46 19<br>Grünes Gewölbe<br>Edit This<br>type: Museums<br>World66 rating: [rate it]<br>address: Brühlsche Terrasse, 01067 Dresden<br>tel: (0351) 491 46 19<br>Brühl Terrace<br>Edit This<br>The "Balcony of Europe", famous for its magnificent view of the Elbe valley, was built on a section of the former City fortifications on the left-bank of the river.

Following the style of the Italian High Renaissance, the Semper Opera House is the culmination of theatre architecture in the 19th century.

It took its name, however, from its predecessor, the old customs house at the bridgehead.

In the middle of the 18th century the Renaissance complex comprised three large courtyards surrounded by living accommodation, animal quarters, armouries, stables and carriage sheds.

The conversion of the former armoury by A. Kanzler in 1884/87 produced an impressive building in the style of the High Renaissance, lined in sandstone and decorated with six large bronze reliefs. A 75-metre long hall divided with Tuscan columns on the ground floor and two rustic portals have survived from the original armoury.

Built on the site of the Brühl Gallery and the Cafe Réale by Constantin Lipsius between 1885 and 1894, the building catches the eye through its monumental neo-Renaissance architecture and rich sculptured ornamentation.

The events held today in the mediaeval atmosphere of the courtyard are somewhat less violent. Probably one of the most famous Dresden sights is the "Procession of Princes" on the north wall of the Royal Mews.

The Germanic tribes which had been settling in the region began to move westwards in the 6th century. They were followed by Slavs from Bohemia, who chose the valley to found the village Drezdany. At the beginning of the 10th century, the German armies under King Heinrich I conquered the Slavonic lands between the rivers Saale and Elbe. The centre of their power was the castle of Meissen which was founded in 929. The German conquerors were followed two centuries later by German settlers, who soon came to dominate the Slavonic population.<br>The Founding of Dresden<br>Craftsmen and merchants settled along many of the new trading routes. Their settlements were fostered by the local rulers and granted town charters. In the 12th century, the Margraves of Meissen ordered a castle to be built on a hill overlooking the Elbe to protect the busy river crossing near the Sorb village Drezdany. A document dating from 1216 already described the settlement growing up around the castle as a town. The first documented mention of the settlement dates from 1206.<br>Dresden in the Middle Ages<br>The original town corresponded approximately to the area of today's City centre on the left bank of the Elbe. In the early years the expansion of the town and the development of trade and crafts progressed only very slowly. Around 1500 there were a mere 6000 people living in the town, its suburbs and the little town Altendresden, which had been established on the opposite bank of the Elbe, whereas other towns in the region had already achieved a certain economic significance and urban development. In the 15th century Hussite preachers were active in the Dresden, and in 1429 a Hussite army laid siege to the town.<br>Dresden becomes a royal residence<br>In 1485 the estates of the Dukes of Meissen from the House of Wettin were divided between the sons of Duke Friedrich II. The Albertine line chose Dresden as the Wettin residence. Even though a devastating fire destroyed the town in 1491, Dresden was nonetheless able to enjoy its first heyday under Duke Georg the Bearded. The Albertine court was one of the most influential opponents of the Reformation and the town was thus a centre of the resistance to Luther's teachings. Following the death of Duke Georg, however, his successor also initiated the Reformation in Dresden. Significant cultural and economic activity developed in the town, determined above all by the needs and desires of the ducal court.<br>Dresden as an electoral capital<br>In 1547, as a result of the Schmalkalden War, the Saxon dukes were granted electoral privileges and Dresden became not only the capital of the most important Protestant land, but at the same time the centre of the most powerful German state after the Habsburg territories. The City underwent rapid urban development. The transformation of the castle into a magnificent palace complex was continued, the armoury and mews were built, the mediaeval town wall was replaced with modern fortifications and the outer settlement along the Elbe around the Frauenkirche church was incorporated into the City. The royal court promoted the development of the arts: in 1548, the "Hofcantorey", the precursor of the Staatskapelle orchestra, was founded and the ground was prepared for the royal art collections. The population of Dresden tripled between 1500 and 1600.<br>Dresden after the Thirty Years War<br>Electoral Saxony participated in the hostilities from 1620 onwards, fighting at various stages alongside both the Imperial and Swedish armies. Famine, plague and economic demise represented a serious setback for urban development, despite the fact that Dresden itself was never captured. In the decades which followed, the City nevertheless rapidly revived its former glory, in no small way due to the continued promotion of cultural and economic development by the royal court. The first manufactories were set up in the Friedrichstadt district, which was founded in 1670. The Grosser Garten park was laid out as a festive garden for the courtly society, the first Baroque architecture sprang up and the musical life of the City reached a first zenith with the works of Heinrich Schütz.<br>Dresden's Augustan Age<br>When Elector Friedrich August I (Augustus the Strong) acquired the Polish crown in 1697, Dresden advanced further to become a capital of European rank. The face of the City also changed dramatically. Dresden became a City of Baroque. The royal court and the nobility commissioned extensive building work and encouraged exceptional artistic and craft-art achievements. Among the cultural highlights of the reign of Augustus were the regular lavish festivities, which demonstrated not only an awareness for the arts, but also political claims to power. The needs of the royal court thus led to rapid economic development in the City, whose population tripled to 63,000 between 1700 and 1755. In the wake of the courtly society, however, the Dresden bourgeoisie was also able to present notable achievements, as witnessed, for example, in the imposing town church architecture of the Frauenkirche.<br>Dresden after the Seven-Years War<br>In August 1756 Prussian troops occupied the capital of Saxony, whose rulers had fled to Warsaw. Dresden suffered several sieges in the years which followed, whole suburbs were burned down and in summer 1760 Prussian artillery also destroyed extensive areas of the City centre. Dresden recovered only very slowly from the after-effects of this period. It took 60 years before the population regained its size from before the war. The former royal residence of European importance was now characterised by intellectual provincialism, even though this period, too, brought forth individual cultural achievements of extraordinary quality.<br>Dresden in the Napoleonic Age<br>The events of the French Revolution were also followed attentively in Dresden and led to certain social unrest. In 1805 the French armies defeated and marched into Saxony, which thus became an ally of Napoleon. The latter stayed in Dresden on several occasions and it was here, in a bloody battle before the gates of the City in August 1813, that he celebrated one of his last victories.<br>Dresden in the first half of the 19th century<br>Following the years of Napoleonic rule, it was no longer the royal court alone which determined urban development in Dresden. Industrial enterprises were founded, the first long-distance railway in Germany was opened between Dresden and Leipzig in 1839, and complete new City districts were established outside the now dismantled City fortifications. Around the middle of the 19th century the population in Dresden had already exceeded 100,000. Outstanding cultural and scientific achievements characterised the intellectual life of the City. The struggles for political reforms and for a modern, bourgeois state, which had for years found a focus in the City, recorded their first successes, but then culminated in a failed popular uprising in 1848.<br>Dresden becomes a major City<br>Dresden grew rapidly in the decades following 1850. Extensive traffic structures changed the appearance of the City: additional bridges over the Elbe, new railway lines and stations and an Elbe port were built. Dresden received a new City hall, a new opera house and numerous other public buildings. After the founding of the German Empire in 1871 the City was one of the most important garrisons and extensive barracks were erected. At the turn of the century Dresden was the fourth largest City of the German Empire with a population of more than half a million inhabitants. Prudent building regulations enabled the City to maintain its charm despite its stormy growth. Together with the lively cultural climate, this founded Dresden's reputation as an attractive destination for thousands of tourists.<br>Dresden after the First World War<br>In Dresden, too, the deprivation of the war years was followed by a post-war period of political upheaval, characterised by crises and often violent developments. The November Revolution in 1918 forced King Friedrich August III to abdicate. The Free State of Saxony was formed. The relative political stability in the second half of the 1920s once more brought forth notable architectural and cultural achievements, though the assumption of power by the National Socialists in 1933 put an end to the progressive cultural traditions in the City. The brutal suppression of all political opposition by the National Socialists culminated in the mishandling and finally the deportation of the Jewish inhabitants of Dresden. The urban Economy and social life was at the same time integrated fully into the preparations for a new war.<br>The destruction of Dresden<br>Three months before the end of the Second World War a series of five air raids between 13 and 15 February 1945 practically erased the centre of Dresden and extensive areas of the suburbs. Around 35,000 people died in the most gruesome way. The culturally and historically so valuable City centre was buried under 18 million cubic metres of rubble. Under indescribably arduous conditions, the remaining inhabitants of Dresden spared no effort in their attempts to restore the vital functions of the mortally afflicted City. In May 1945 the Soviet army occupied Dresden<br>Reconstruction<br>Reconstruction In the first years after the war the City centre was cleared of the enormous masses of rubble, with the assistance of tens of thousands of volunteer helpers. At the start of the 1950s reconstruction began with residential and representative buildings in the City centre. The reconstruction of selected architectural monuments was also forced ahead from the very beginning. The reconstruction of the Zwinger was completed in 1964. Numerous important buildings, such as the Court Church, Johanneum, Albertinum, the Royal Mews and, in 1985, the Semper Opera House, were also restored, though at the same time the valuable remains of other monuments were demolished. Despite certain important successes, the later exclusive devotion to industrial construction technologies and increasing economic difficulties left the reconstruction of the City overall incomplete and unsatisfactory.<br>Dresden - a regional capital in the GDR<br>In 1952, three years after the founding of the GDR, the East German Länder were dissolved and replaced by smaller administrative regions. Dresden thus became a regional capital. Social life in the City was determined by the doctrines of socialist ideology. Despite considerable efforts, for example through the establishing of completely new branches of industry, only limited success could be recorded in attempts to regain the former standing of Dresden as an industrial centre. Nine colleges, on the other hand, among them the Technical College accorded the status of a university in 1961, were able to secure the City's scientific profile. Important cultural traditions were maintained and furthered in outstanding achievements in various arts.<br>Dresden since 1989<br>The peaceful revolution which heralded the end of the socialist GDR also had roots in Dresden: mass demonstrations at the beginning of October 1989, the resultant dialogue with the local authorities and the peaceful occupation of the State Security headquarters in December were the first stages in a process which finally led to the unification of Germany. Dresden regained its former status as capital of the refounded Free State of Saxony. Extensive building work has in the meantime transformed the face of the City.

All express trains arrive either at the central railway station (Hauptbahnhof) on the southern edge of the City centre (at the end of Prager Strasse, within easy walking distance of the City centre) or at Dresden-Neustadt station (two tram route connections to the City centre and the central railway station). It is important to note, however, that some trains stop at only one of the two stations in Dresden! <br>__________Events &amp; Festivals<br>Edit This<br>Cultural life in Dresden is rich in highlights - no list could ever claim to be complete. The Dresden Music Festivals, held each year at the end of May and beginning of June, bring together not only all the local ensembles, but also prominent national and international artists. In October it is the turn of the Dresden Festival of Contemporary Music to enrich the City's cultural scene, while the Dixieland Festival, which has been running since 1971, transforms Dresden into a City of jazz in May each year. With the "Elbhangfest", Dresden can boast one of the largest and most varied cultural and local festivals. On the last weekend in June it takes over a whole stretch of the Elbe hillsides with its lively, friendly festivities.<br>__________Events &amp; Festivals<br>Edit This<br>Cultural life in Dresden is rich in highlights - no list could ever claim to be complete.

It is about 400 sq kilometers big and there are 16,402 people living on it. The capital of the island is also called Krk. Sights in Krk include the medieval moats and a cathedral from the 13-th century.<br>Other sights on the island include Roman terms, churches and Venetian paintings.</b> <p><b>Main destinations on Krk are Malinska for sun sea sand, Punat for its marina, Baska famous as top destination if you are looking for nicest beaches and Vrbnik because of its good looks.<br>The “golden island”, as the island of Krk has been called since ancient times, is the nearest island to western Europe. The latitude of the island is 45° and the longitude is 14°35'. We do not consider it an island so much anymore because it has been connected with mainland since 1980 a 1400m long bridge made of reinforced concrete. Krk has approximately 16500 year round inhabitants in seventy different settlements.<br>You can reach Krk by land, sea and by air because there is also an airport ( Rijeka airport) which can handle large and small planes. The island doesn't have a railway. The nearest railway station is in Rijeka, only 30 km from Krk. There are daily trains to and from Italy, Austria, Germany and Hungary. Rijeka also has daily coach lines which connest all European points such as Munich, Zurich, Trieste, etc. If you like boat rides you can also reach Rijeka by ferry and one of the safe harbours of the island in your own boat. You can leave your boat during the winter in Marina Punat or in other marinas offering dry storage.<br>The island Krk has many different landscapes . The north part of the island is almost bare because of the strong wind called “bura”, while the southernpart abounds with greenness and gentle bays. Inland, rocky hills alternate with fertile fields.This sort of relief favorably provides for the cultivation of grapes and the production of the well-known wine “Vrbnicka Žlahtina .”<br>In the woods , lovers of nature and hunting can come across the fox, roe-buck, wild cat and marten while there are also some birds like the snipe, wild duck, griffon vulture and several other types. On the island Krk there are several dozen marked tourist paths which lead through the woods and by the sea shore. There are printed guides available at any tourist ofice. The underwater world around the island of Krk is very interesting, and there are several local and international diving clubs. You can get a diving licence at the local harbor master's office. You need to present your passport, your diving qualification and pay a fee. To fill bottles you need to contact one of the diving clubs. Of all the summer recreation sports, the most interesting ones are water sports . Those particulary attractive are paragliding, waterskiing and jet skis. If you can't visit the island Krk during the summer, come in spring or autumn. If the weather is nice, you can have a swim in the sea in June, September and October. There are some (brave ones) who swim from April to November.<br>__________Accommodation in Krk island<br>Edit This<br>Cindric apartments<br>Cindric apartments<br>[Add Accommodation]<br>Cindric apartments - Silo<br>Edit This<br>Cindric apartments<br>Cindric apartments<br>Cindric apartments are situated in Silo /island of Krk about 300m from the beach.

The best thing to do is to start your trip at the Plaka, the centre of old antique Athens and decide what you would like to explore. Or go to the centre of the present Athens, Sindagma Square, which in itself is not very interesting, but serves as a good starting point for walks to the main sights. Will it be the museums, the street markets or maybe the Acropolis site with its monuments? Or maybe you should start with a visit to one of the two other areas packed with ruins, the Agora (northwest of the Acropolis) or the Roman Forum. Or simple deliberate on it when sitting outside a charming taverna at the Plaka, letting the world pass by. It is your holiday, isn't it? Section Sights:Temples The Acropolis Hill is one of the main sights of Athens. This 'sacred rock' of Athens served as a residential area from the Neolithic period onwards. Besides that, it was the matrix for the cult of the city's patron goddess, Athena. During the Classical period, the monumental entrance to the area was constructed, the Propylaea. Besides that, three important temples were erected on the ruins of earlier ones, namely, the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Nike. All these monuments reflect the successive phases of the city's history. Although these monuments were converted into Christian churches and houses belonging to previous invaders (such as the Frankfurts and the Turkeys) at one time, after the liberation of Athens from the Turks, a large-scale restoration and preservation plan was made, which is still maintained on this very day.<br>Contributors<br>May 09, 2005 change by giorgio<br>[Add Sight]<br>Acropolis Museum<br>Edit This<br>Open summer: Mondays noon-7pm, Tues.-Sun: 8am-7pm.

The bus tickets and the trolley car tickets are interchangeable. Taking the metro, which operates from 05:30 until 24:00, is definitely a better option than going by car or getting yourself stuffed in a way too crowded bus. Even though the buses may be crowded sometimes they are airconditioned and they take you closer to your destnation. The subway(metro) is NOT airconditioned. You will find the taxis the cheapest in the world!! A distance of 4 miles will cost you $5.00 while the same distance in New York will cost you more than $40.00!!!! The bus and trolley fare is .60c while the subway(metro) is .90c!!! The metro system is now fully operational. In order to reduce the serious effects of air-pollution, the government hopes that a well organised metro system will convince the residents of leaving their cars at home. It is estimated that the total number of daily automobile trips in Athens will be reduced by 250,000 when the Metro is fully operational. This will result, hopefully, in a 35% decrease of toxic emissions. As a result, Athens will become a more 'livable' city.<br>__________Museums<br>Edit This<br>The Athens Children's Museum is the best place to spend a nice day with kids. You will find it at Plaka.

The country was a centre of power in Europe at the time when it was ruled by the mighty Habsburgs. Although today it is relegated to being a minor player in the European Union, Austria offers some of the most impressive destinations on the Continent.<br>The capital Vienna was once the citadel of the Habsburgs who ruled the country for over 600 years. The city is an architectural gem and a centre of music from the medieval times. The Hofburg (Imperial Palace) and the adjoining Augustinian Church are two of the marvels of architecture. Other notable sights in Vienna include the Museum of Fine Arts, Belvedere Palace, and the Sigmund Freud Museum.<br>The southern city of Graz with its UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, the largest in central Europe, has a very relaxed and mediterranean flair.<br>It is situated on the sunny side of the Alps and offers an exciting architectural mix between old - winding lanes and the remains of a castle that has never been taken - and new - Kunsthaus gallery with its blue bubble and an artificial island in the river - both created for Cultural Capital of Europe recently. With every sixth inhabitant being a student, it also offers a lively pub scene. The hilly wine growing region nearby is a great destination for an excursion.<br>Salzburg, the city that gave Mozart to the world, is a picturesque abode surrounded by tall mountains. Your tour of Salzburg is incomplete without a visit to the 11th-century Hohensalzburg Castle, the Museum of Fine Arts, and St. Peter's Abbey. Four kilometres to the south of Salzburg is the interesting Hellbrunn Palace whose grounds contain trick fountains and water-powered figures.<br>If destinations off-the-beaten-track fascinate you, Austria has plenty of them too. Wels and Steyr are small cities worth a visit. Rust, and Gurk are some good places to explore along with the Eisriesenwelt Caves, which, incidentally, are the largest accessible ice caves in the world. Another interesting place to visit is Bad_Ischl, the famous spa, where the Austrian Emperors spent their holidays.<br>Austria is thronged by tourists round the year. Summer is the ideal time for sightseeing while in winter the slopes of the Alps offer ample opportunities for skiing. The Arlberg region with St. Anton or Salzburg with Radstadt has some of the best skiing resorts in Austria. Up in the Alps, the Gemuetlichkeit of the Austrians makes you enjoy a stay in the snow, skiing or hiking. <br>__________History<br>Edit This<br>The Austro-Hungarian Empire played a decisive role in Central European history. It occupied strategic territory containing the southeastern routes to Western Europe and the north-south routes between Germany and Italy. Although present-day Austria is only a tiny remnant of the old empire it retains this unique position.<br>Soon after the Republic of Austria was created at the end of World War I it faced the strains of catastrophic inflation and of redesigning a government meant to rule a great empire into one that would govern only 6 million citizens. In the early 1930s worldwide depression and unemployment added to these strains and shattered traditional Austrian society. Resultant economic and political conditions led in 1933 to a dictatorship under Engelbert Dollfuss. In February 1934 civil war broke out and the Socialist Party was outlawed. In July a coup d'etat by the National Socialists failed but Dollfuss was assassinated by Nazis. In March 1938 Austria was incorporated into the German Reich a development commonly known as the "Anschluss (annexation).<br>At the Moscow conference in 1943 the Allies declared their intention to liberate Austria and reconstitute it as a free and independent state. In April 1945 both Eastern- and Western-front Allied forces liberated the country. Subsequently Austria was divided into zones of occupation similar to those in Germany.<br>Under the 1945 Potsdam agreements the Soviets took control of German assets in their zone of occupation. These included 7% of Austria's manufacturing plants 95% of its oil resources and about 80% of its refinery capacity. The properties were returned to Austria under the Austrian State Treaty. This treaty signed in Vienna on May 15 1955 came into effect on July 27 and under its provisions all occupation forces were withdrawn by October 25 1955. Austria became free and independent for the first time since 1938. <br>___________Getting Around<br>Edit This<br>Modern highways &amp; bridges in Austria<br>Modern highways &amp; bridges in Austria<br>Joseph Hollick<br>While ultramodern trains zoom between the key cities at very frequent times. Smaller centres are serviced by Bundesbus, which is the most common medium of locals and international tourists who have tight budget. Though domestic flights are offered by Tyrolean airways and Austrian Airlines mainly of interest for business travel, flying isn't the way most Austrians would consider travelling. Austria isn't a huge country and, in most cases taking a train or driving is almost as fast.<br>____________Getting There<br>Edit This<br>Austria is well-connected by all kinds of communications. Generally, most travelers make their base in Vienna, which is connected by air, road and train to most of the world’s top destinations. Later, travelers who are on a limited budget, use the road for traveling while other users fly by air, which is fast and provides easy access to other cities in Austria. There are five other international airports in Austria at Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Salzburg and Klagenfurt.<br>Austria has excellent rail connections to all major European destinations. They are probably the most comfortable and environmentally responsible way to travel overland.<br>Buses are generally slower and less comfortable than trains, but they are cheaper and they go to all major European countries.<br>_____________Economy<br>Edit This<br>Austria has been a member of the European Union since 1 January 1995. Austria has a well-developed market economy with a high standard of living. With exports of goods and services reaching over 40% of GDP Austria's economy is closely integrated with other EU member countries especially with Germany. Austria's entry into the EU has drawn an influx of foreign investors attracted by Austria's access to the single European market.<br>Labor force: total: 3.646 million (1996)<br>by occupation: services 66.1% industry and crafts 29.6% agriculture and forestry 1.3% (salaried employees 1996)<br>note: an estimated 150 000 Austrians are employed abroad; foreign laborers in Austria number 298 000 (1996)<br>Industries: food iron and steel machines textiles chemicals electrical paper and pulp tourism mining motor vehicles<br>Agriculture—products: grains potatoes sugar beets wine fruit dairy products; cattle pigs poultry; sawn wood<br>Exports: commodities: machinery and equipment iron and steel lumber textiles paper products chemicals<br>Imports: commodities: petroleum foodstuffs machinery and equipment vehicles chemicals textiles and clothing pharmaceuticals.<br>Currency: Euro<br>Exchange rates: 1 US Dollar = 0.6816 Euro<br>1 US Dollar = 0.6816 Euro 0.77929 Euro (EUR) = 10.72326 Austrian Schilling (ATS)<br>1 Euro (EUR) = 1.467 US Dollar (USD) <br>____________Day Trips<br>Edit This<br>For a more adventurous day, make a trip out to Tyrol, Austria to do some white water rafting with Feel Free Rafting.

It has always been famous of their healthy baths containing radon. Using these baths is supposed to help against many diseases, in particular rheumatic diseases. Furthermore its splendid waterfall in the centre of the small town is a sight on its own, and worth a detour!<br>Bad Gastein lived its best days as a health resort in the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century. In the second half of the 20th Century the town more or less "slept in" and came into decay (although not literally). It disappeared from the list of major tourist destinations in Austria.<br>The local community tried to win back the attention of the tourists by building a Conference Centre, a very ugly building that replaced the former "Kurhaus", and a large parking garage. Furthermore the place tried to attract winter sports tourists. One of the major old hotels was transformed into a Casino. Some other hotels closed, but still others changed owner and started to flourish again.<br>All these measures together have put Bad Gastein more or less back on the map. It nowadays is a quiet place where you can enjoy a holiday in natural surroundings, but within easy reach of Salzburg and many smaller tourist places.<br>Among the royal and famous guests that visited Bad Gastein are Queen Elisabeth of Austria ("Sissi"), Emperor Wilhelm of Germany and many others. The small town is located in the Gasteinertal (valley of Gastein) where also Bad Hofgastein and Dorfgastein are located. <br>:::::::::::Baden Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Our Team<br>Our Team<br>Leichtfried<br>The origin of Baden lies in the healing powers of the sulfur springs. The Romans experienced and enjoyed the waters, calling the place "Aquae". Until today, the town bases its image on the element of water in all its different aspects.<br>Baden has held a special place in Austrian history since Emperor Francis I chose this idyllic town for his Imperial summer residence between 1814 (the year of the Vienna Congress) to 1834. Artists, intellectuals as well as the so-called "good society" followed him. The blending of art and money set a high standard and created a unique atmosphere, which the city continues to preserve.<br>The Viennese Woods and the luscious vineyards merge into the Romantic lanes and squares of Baden forming a harmony with the Biedermeier houses creating a particular ambience that is both serene and radiant, filled with the joy of life. Only 26 kilometers from Vienna, the cultural capital of Austria, Baden offers a rich variety of baths and springs, parks and gardens, coffeehouses, idyllic wine places as well as leisure and sports facilities.<br>:::::::::Bregenz Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>photo<br>Bregenz is a town at the eastern end of Lake of Constance.<br>_________Tours and Excursions<br>Edit This<br>If the weather is not bad, by cable-car to the top of the mountain to enjoy the wonderful view of the lake and the town.

Nearby are mountain peaks at around of 2000m. At an hour drive south of Vienna this is region is often visited for day trips and weekend trips. Some example of nice mountains are "Schneeberg" (Snowmountain) and "Rax". Also quite phenomenal is the rail-track "Semmering-bahn". This is officially UNESCO world-heritage. It is a rail track consisting of a series of bridges and tunnels linking Vienna with Trieste (Italy). It is a real landmark in engineering. Especially when you take into account that it was built in the middle of the 19th century. When you are bon-vivant you should visit this region in September. Then Most (young wine) and many other varieties of wine and juice are widely available at pubs, biergartens and heurigen. The mekka of it all is said to be found in Burgenland. This Bundesland (state) borders Hungary and offers one of the sunniest regions of all Austria. Burgenland is not to far away from Gloggnitz and with a completely different landscape you will easily forget you are in an Alpine country!<br>________Getting There<br>Edit This<br>By car drive to Vienna and then take the Sud-Autobahn, the motorway from Vienna heading south to Graz / Slovenia. By air-plane head either for Swechat-Vienna Airport or to Graz. Recently high-speed train-link service has been established between germany and Vienna which allows you to travel in reasonable time without the hassle of traffic-jams. Also night train links are available trhoughout Germany and neigbouring countries.<br>___________Day Trips<br>Edit This<br>A day's walking in one of the beatifull mountains is much worth the effort. You should head for Semmering, Rax, Schneeberg or Puchberg. Also in wintertime smaller scale up to date skiing facilities are available. If you want to discover a mountain by foot it will take you most of the day. Your achievements will be rewarding. A small tip of advice for those less experienced with mountain-hiking: locals will give advise to carefully observe the weather changes and take it seriously. Thank god they have invented mobile-phones (mobi in German)!<br>:::::::::::Hallein Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Hallein is the second biggest town in the Salzburg province. One of the main reasons to visit is the Dürnberg salt mines. The town also has a museum of Celtic artifacts, and is the birthplace of Franz Xavier Gruber, the author of music for "Silent Night".<br>The mines (Salzbergwerk Hallein) are easily visited on a day trip from Salzburg. On guided tours, visitors walk downhill from the ticket office to the mine entrance, then board an electric mine train that takes you deep into the caverns. From here, you go on foot through galleries, changing levels by sliding down polished wooden slides before exiting the mine on the train that brought you in. An underground museum traces the history of salt mining back to ancient times.<br>Hallein is connected to Salzburg, 10 miles (16km) away, by both train and bus. The cable car up the Durrnberg is no longer present, but it is possible to take a bus to the entrance of the Salzbergwerk.<br>Here is a link to the Salzbergwerk:<br>http://www.salzwelten.at/cont/salzwelten/salzwelten_salzburg.aspx.<br>Note under "Anreise", that you can purchase a package that includes train travel to Hallein, bus to the Salzbergwerk, the tour through the salt mine, and entry to the Celtic artifacts museum.<br>::::::::::Hallstatt Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Hallstatt in Autumn<br>Hallstatt in Autumn<br>MargF, NZ<br>Hallstatt is a quaint town in the lake region, also known as the Salzkammergut, of Austria. It is about 20 miles east of Salzburg. Some describe it as one of the most picturesque towns in all of Europe, and it has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The town is built around a lake and surrounded by steep mountains, making the buildings a bit cramped.<br>One of the more bizarre attractions in Hallstatt is its Charnel House. Because Hallstatt only has one very small cemetery, the bones there are periodically exhumed and placed in the Charnel House. Also nearby are the Dachstein ice caves in the town of Obertraun. There are three main caves: Koppenbrüllerhöhle, Rieseneishöhle, and Mammuthöhle (Koppenbrüller Cave, Ice Cave, and Mammoth Cave).<br>::::::::::Hochpustertal Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>photo<br>It is one of the most beautiful high valleys in East Tirol close to the South Tirolean Dolomites.

According to the legend the city was founded after brave men had killed the "Lindwurm", a dragon living in the moors around Klagenfurt. In fact the town was founded about 800 years ago by duke Hermann, a descendant of the Rhine-Franco family Spanheim. Today it is a lively and attractive city with 90.000 inhabitants. Thanks to the work of Italian architects throughout the 16th and 17th centuries the city centre has an almost southern atmosphere. Over 50 romantic courtyards were built and most of them have been renovated with great effort and are open to the public. Neverthless the city is not a museum, but a living town. Courtyards and shopping arcades house cafes, shops and restaurants which make a stroll a pleasant way to pass your time. Klagenfurt is also well worth a visit because of its many parks and the lake "Wörthersee".<br>Klagenfurt and Lake Wörthersee lie in the south of the Province of Carinthia, close to its borders with Slovenia and Italy. While high mountain ranges form the borders between the holiday paradise of Carinthia and its neighbouring countries, the countryside opens up to the north in a picturesque landscape of rolling hills in which numerous buildings of historical significance can be found. Only a few kilometers away from Klagenfurt, for example, there is Hochosterwitz Castle, which was first mentioned in a document dating back to 860. Magdalensberg is just a few minutes' drive from the folk museum. Here you will find Austria's most extensive archaeological excavations of a Celto-roman settlement.<br>:::::::::Koessen Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>austria tyrol accomodation<br>austria tyrol accomodation<br>hartmut radetzky<br>If you want to hike, mountainbike, go skiing or snowboarding, paragliding or any sports like golf, tennis and rafting probably Koessen is the right destination for you.<br>::::::::Kuehnsdorf Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>We currently have no information about Kuehnsdorf.<br>If you do know any general information about Kuehnsdorf, please [Edit this article].<br>::::::::Koessen Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>austria tyrol accomodation<br>austria tyrol accomodation<br>hartmut radetzky<br>If you want to hike, mountainbike, go skiing or snowboarding, paragliding or any sports like golf, tennis and rafting probably Koessen is the right destination for you.<br>::::::::::Kufstein Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>view from the river inn side<br>view from the river inn side<br>unknown<br>Kufstein is a scenic town located in northen Tyrol on the river Inn.

St Anton has, along with Wengen and Mürren, a strong British tradition. From the 1920s, successive generations learned to ski here, adopting the distinctive 'feet together' Arlberg style. Sir Arnold Lunn helped start the Kandahar race here in 1928, and the resort has remained popular with good British skiers ever since.<br>It has also become one of the world's Meccas for ski bums. That's a reflection of the wonderful, tough off-slope runs available in the bowls below the Valluga - the best that Austria has to offer. In good snow conditions they are superb. Sadly, conditions are often less than perfect except just after a fresh snowfall, because of their south-facing aspect. But if you are lucky with the snow you'll have the time of your life. There's a lot to offer adventurous intermediates too, both locally and at Lech and Zürs, a short bus-ride away.<br>There are lots of lively discos and bars, which keep going from 3 pm to am. The resort is an ideal choice for the hard-drinking, disco-loving, keen-for-action holidaymaker who can stand the pace of getting to bed late and being up for the first lift - it's not for those who like a quiet life and gentle, uncrowded slopes.<br>St. Anton is a terrific destination for singles to meet people and ski during the winter and enjoy outdoor activities during the summer. Prices are high, but the food, accommodations, and nightlife make it worthwhile.<br>St. Anton is also good for couples that want to get away together. The conditions are perfect for lovers, with the awe-inspiring mountain vistas and cozy little restaurants waiting after a hard day on the slopes. It makes it the perfect setting to spice up that old romance for seniors, as well.<br>Groups of friends will find that St. Anton is a real bargain as far as package deals go.

It's a pleasant place, and - since a tunnel now takes through traffic to Schüttdorf - less plagued by traffic. The town makes an attractive base for holidaymakers who enjoy travelling around. Having a car makes it easy to visit numerous other resorts - including Saalbach -Hinterglemm, Bad Gastein -Bad Hofgastein, Wagrain, Schladming and Obertauern . Zell am See is one of the most significant Austrian ski resorts. Its three parts, the all year glacial resort Kitzsteinhorn in Kaprun, the Maiskogel in Kaprun, and the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See open an area of 130 kilometers (81 miles) of pistes and 54 lift systems. Although not combined via lifts, this distance is comfortably passable with the constantly running ski-buses, and the slopes also go all the way down into the villages, so each one can easily be reached via ski. The runs satisfy every skill level with a ratio of about 40-40-20 easy-intermediate-demanding.<br>Kaprun Zell am See Hotels<br>Shop Kaprun Zell am See Hotels. Find The Cheapest Hotels Online.<br>CheapEurope. com/ Kaprun_Zell_Am_See<br>Off-piste skiing in Zell is part of every skiing day and neither broad nor bumpy pistes should be missed. For the snowboarder, two half-pipes and two parks, of which one is an all year FIS-Boardercross course where the annual November World Cup is held, create a great environment for training and fun. The village of Zell, with its 9,727 inhabitants, is situated in the valley of Prinzgau in the Salzburgerland, right in the middle of the Hohe Tauern, a mountainous region with 30 mountaintops that reach the 3,000-meter (9,834-foot) limit (one of these mountains is the Großglockner, Austria’s highest). Zell is nested between the Schmittenhöhe and the waterfront of one of the cleanest European swimming lakes, Lake Zell. The town was founded by monks from Salzburg in 740 as Cella in Bisonzio. With its medieval center, it creates a calm, rustic, and adorned atmosphere - somewhat typically Austrian - that attracts guests to fill the 14,000 beds almost constantly. Kaprun is a smaller village that is mostly known for its year-round skiable glacier, its Roman castle from the 12th century (one of the largest ruins of the Prinzgau), and its two large water reservoirs. The two villages have a fascinating and fairly priced program of sportive, cultural, and just simply entertaining offerings throughout the year which include skiing, snowboarding, cross country (about 200 kilometers/125miles of trails), snow hiking, snowshoeing, tobogganing (on slides, truck tires, and boats), ice sailing, ice skating, hockey, sleigh rides, llama hikes, ballooning, paragliding, ice climbing, swimming in- and outdoors, horse back riding, concerts, fests, festivals, theater, musicals, exhibitions - and of course, the regular après-ski activities found in restaurants, bars, pubs, and nightclubs. Overall, the resort has an impressive off-piste program for any taste, but still is mainly centered on the sportive aspect-skiing. That means fun off-piste is guaranteed, but it is not as much of a partying and exclusively après-ski resort as spots like Sölden and Ischgl. Kaprun and Zell together create a large all-year resort with outstanding offerings in a cozy, Austrian atmosphere with international flair. All those who visit will be impressed with how relaxing and at the same time exciting a skiing resort can be.

It was also in the latter year that Pope Paul III chose Angra to be the seat of a bishopric. A port of call for the ships plying to and from Africa, India and the Americas - it was here that Vasco da Gama's brother was buried during the return from the first voyage to India - it became a town with an intensive economic life and great wealth in the 16th century. It was also at Angra that government departments such as Mint and the Navy Purveyor's Office were set up.<br>That golden period was reflected in the straight lines of its streets, in accordance with the town planning rules of the Renaissance of which it is one of the finest examples, and also in the splendour of its palaces and churches and an artistic legacy that makes it a monument in itself. This has been recognised by UNESCO, which has included it in the world heritage list.<br>The struggles against the Spanish occupation, between 1580 and 1583, had catastrophic consequences for Angra, which was sacked for five days by Spanish soldiers and which saw many of its leading citizens executed. Later, in 1589, the town was attacked by the privateer, Sir Francis Drake. who was unsuccessful in his attempt, and in 1597 the Earl of Essex, with about one hundred ships, tried in vain to seize a fleet of Spanish galleons, loaded with gold and silver, which were anchored in the port. The construction of Sao Filipe Castle, later called São João Baptista, dates from this period; it was designed to be a defence against pirates and, at the same lime, a means of ensuring Spanish control over the town itself.<br>With the Restoration of Portugal's independence, the Spanish garrison surrendered after heavy fighting and after the town had been bombarded.<br>Until the early 19th century, Angra, as the seat of the captaincy-general, retained its standing as the governmental centre of the Azores although there was a reduction of its importance as an Atlantic seaport. The town took an active part in the struggles for the implantation of liberalism and became the seat of the liberal Regency during the Civil War. Because of the spirit of sacrifice and bravery then demonstrated, the town received from Queen Maria II the tittle of "Heroi&shy;smo" (Heroism) proposed by the great writer, Almeida Garrett.<br>Angra do Heroi&shy;smo is one of the administrative seats of the Autonomous Regio and has one of the centers of the University of the Azores.

São Miguel is sometimes called Ilha Verde, “the Green Island”. Much of the island is a green grazing land. The areas with forest mainly consist of planted exotic conifers and eucalypts. There is very little left of the original vegetation. The island was first colonized in 1444. The agriculture grew rapidly and the island has exported several agricultural products throughout the centuries. Today milk products (cheese!), fish and wine are important products. The tourist industry is rapidly growing. For the tourist there are breathtaking views all over the island. There are several walking trails, particularly in the high lying areas.

During that time, Friedrichshafen served as the manufacturing center for the giant airships bearing their inventor's name. Beginning in the 1970s, Friedrichshafen sought to shore up its "Zeppelin" identity as a source of civic pride and potential tourism. An obvious move in this direction was the establishment of a museum; A Zeppelin museum traces the development of those great air machines from first launching (on Lake Constance in 1900) to the Hindenburg disaster.

This is still true of Ludwigsburg today which is an active, lively and friendly town in the centre of one of the most economically sound regions in Germany. The baroque palaces and the large parks, the Baroque-in-Bloom gardens and the culture and convention centre "Forum am Schlosspark", the famous porcelain factory, or the renowned palace festival are all part of the unique profile of this town.<br>The town was founded in 1704 on a whim of the Württemberg Duke Eberhard Ludwig who had his summer residence built here. This was the start of Germany's largest baroque town which has been home to numerous historical events and famous persons. Ludwigsburg has always been closely connected with the history of the state of Württemberg.<br>Today, Ludwigsburg is not only a town full of tradition, it is also dynamic and an attractive economic location. Many small and large companies in future-oriented industries, including a few global players, guarantee that the economy will remain strong and well-equipped to face the challenges that are expected in the future.<br>And this is especially important in the light of the buzz word "globalisation" and the growing competition between the European regions. A strong economic region such as Stuttgart does a lot to uphold its position as a location in the competitive European market. Ludwigsburg as one of the centres of these regions also plays an active part.<br>All in all, Ludwigsburg has every opportunity to continue its continuous development and remain a town in which it is worthwhile living and working.

This square is home to the statue of Brabo. According to a 16th century legend, his action of 'handwerpen' (Dutch for 'flinging your hand') led to the city's name. Silvius Brabo is said to have flung the hand of Antigonus, a giant who terrorized passing ships. The 15th century City Hall on the square shows a successful blend of the Flemish style and Italian Renaissance characteristics. Southeast of the square, you can see the Onze Lieve Vrouw, a beautiful gothic cathedral which throws the rest of the square in the shade.<br>Antwerp's most famous resident is undoubtedly Pieter Paul Rubens. This painter's and diplomat's spirit is present all throughout town. His statue is at the Groenplaats and he was buried at the St.Paulus church. Many churches are enriched with his paintings. The Rubenshuis, the place where the painter lived and worked, still exudes the grandeur of the height of the Baroque in Antwerp. In the decorative restored Rockoxhuis, Rubens has a substantial presence, together with Jordaens, Matsys and his pupil Anton van Dyck.<br>The city of Rubens is a paradise for museum lovers. The Fine Arts Museum in the south houses over a thousand works by classical painters, including the Flemish Primitives, beside over 1500 more recent works. Naturally, this is where you will find the world's most beautiful and largest collection of the work of Antwerpen's great master Rubens. The Museum of Contemporary Art (MUHKA) has a collection of mainly Belgian art from the 1970's. These are only a few of the museums you will come across on your walk from the Centraal Station to the Grote Markt. Mayer van den Bergh Museum is dedicated to fine and applied arts, particularly from the 14th to the 16th century. If you are at the Berchem station, make sure you see the Zurenborg district, known for its unique architectural complexities. Hardly anywhere else than here will you find such representative Art Nouveau and Jugendstil houses.<br>The city of diamonds has its main museum in the heart of the diamond district, the streets behind Centraal Station. This part of the city is known as the 'Jerusalem of the North', because it has the largest settlement of Orthodox Jews in this part of Europe. Over 70% of the world's cutting and trading in big diamonds takes place in Antwerp.<br>One of the resasons why Antwerp can maintain its world centre position is because of the port's international trade links. Take a river cruise, not only to admire the famous skyline with its antique towers from the water, but also to experience the busy world port from the inside. Those who don't like boats can still enjoy the Scheldt from the unique promenade near the Steen, the oldest building within Antwerp, which houses the National Maritime Museum with its open-air department exhibiting real ships.<br>When your eyes get tired and your feet get raw because of all the miles you have walked, sit down again at the Grote Markt and soak in the atmosphere. Prepare yourself for a night out in the sparkling city with its many names and its slight inferiority complex (Brussels and Bruges still get all the attention).

Tickets can be bought in advance or on the spot. However, a 24-hours pass can only be bought at the Diamant Underground Station (open Mon.-Frid. 8am-12:30pm &amp; 1:30am-4pm) [see below]. The city centre is easily explored by foot. Most sights are between the Central Station and the Scheldt, with a high concentration of churches and cathedrals around the Grote Markt.<br>The local bus operator, De Lijn http://www.delijn.be, offers extremely cheap tickets covering all of Flanders - a day ticket ('dagpas net') costs just EUR 5 (as at June 2005) and a week's travel ('7-dagenpas net) only EUR 10. According to the website, these tickets are sold by the (multi-lingual) ticket machines as well as by drivers and at DeLijn information offices. <br>_____Events<br>Edit This<br>On the 15th of August, the annual Rubens Market takes place at the Grote Markt. On this public holiday, the market trader sell their wares in traditional Rubens-style clothing.<br>In July and August, the city of Antwerp is full of events: performances, circus, (street)theatre, film,... All these events take place under the name "Zomer van Antwerpen" For more information, you can look at http://www.zomervanantwerpen.be/ (site in Dutch and French)<br>_______Nightlife and Entertainment<br>Edit This<br>Antwerp has a sparkling nightlife. Besides numerous discos and bars with live music, it is also well known for its abundance of brown cafes. Drinking a 'Koninck' at the Groote Markt will make you feel like a King in Belgium- or at least for the time that your glass, a bolleke , is still full of Belgian beer. Most cafes open their doors around tenish. Especially at the 'Grote Markt' and the 'Handschoenmarkt', you should just sit down, relax and soak in the atmosphere. Live music, especially blues and jazz, is common sense at a lot of clubs. Check the local newspapers or flyers to see what's keeping the city awake at night.<br>Contributors<br>June 08, 2005 change by giorgio<br>Display all<br>or display just:<br>Cafes<br>Casinos Clubs<br>Clubs and dancing Gay and Lesbian<br>Theatre<br>Show best rated on top | Show in alphabetical order<br>[Add Entertainment place]<br>Het Paeters Vaetje<br>Edit This<br>Small pub with little mezzanine floor.

Julianatoren, Apeldoorn<br>Het Reuzenrad Kon. Julianatoren, Apeldoorn<br>By the turn of the 19th to 20th century Apeldoorn was not more than a village, on the edge of the Veluwe. It has now rapidly grown to be a modern city but you can still recognize the different villages it originated from. It’s a fairly large city with a relatively small center.</b> <p><b>Apeldoorn is surrounded by beautiful woods which are very suitable for a nice walk or cycle tour. Alongside the Hoofdstraat you find a new shoppingmall called 'Oranjerie' and around it all the further stores you're looking for. Attracted to the surrounding forest and heath lands there are a lot of senior citizens and the average age is quite high. Still this does not mean Apeldoorn is a dull and sleepy city. There’s a lot of culture to experience and in November 2004 the local concert and theatre building was re-opened to be one of the biggest facilities of this kind in the Netherlands. The Jazz (street) festival held each June is famous.<br>For some relaxation bring a visit to the Caterplein (walk down the Hoofdstraat in Northern direction towards the "Loolaan") in the center where you can take a bite to eat and a drink. For a delicious lunch, tea or meal you can choose from the many cafés and restaurants at the marktplein (oppposite the town hall) and in the small side streets of the Hoofdstraat. For artlovers there's art-cafe Sam Sam in the Van Kinsbergenstraat, also a side street of the Hoofdstraat.<br>The main attraction in this town in central Netherlands is the 'Apenheul' primate park, which attracts over 500.000 visitors each year, in the Berg and Bos Park. The surrounding trees almost make a natural enviroment for over 35 species of monkeys, apes and lemurs. Aso the Loo palace, built in the 17th century for William III of Orange, is well worth a visit. The nearby Veluwe once the hunting grounds for Willem III now provide a beautifull terrain to walk or cycle. For the youngsters there’s the Julianatoren attraction park, build around a tower from the first decenium of the last century.<br>Apeldoorn is about 50 mi/80 km east of Amsterdam.<br>_______--Sights<br>Edit This<br>photo<br>[Add Sight]<br>Stichting Apenheul<br>Edit This<br>Apenheul Primate Park is one of the nicest zoos in the world. Hundreds of primates - 35 species of monkeys, apes and lemurs - live in great freedom in the forest at Apeldoorn (near National Park de Hoge Veluwe).

Shortly before he was to ascend to the throne of England Scotland and Ireland, William III commissioned the construction of a new palace next to the Medieval castle of the "Old Loo". The newly build palace was designed in 1685 by Daniel Marot. Though it’s much smaller, it reminds one to the Versailles palace, to which it was a deliberate reference.

regions of Spain and is crossed by the river Ebro. If you are a fan of hiking or skiing, you can go to the Pyrenees (here at their highest) or the seldom explored mountains in the south of Aragon. In the Pyrenean valleys you might see sword dances, which are still performed here.</b> <p><b>Visiting Aragon you can't miss the beautiful roman city Zaragoza, the capital of this region, mudejar's art in Teruel and medieval cities Albarracin and Sos del Rey Católico.<br>_______Beaches<br>Edit This<br>PLEASE ADD BEACHES TO THIS SITE FOR ARAGON<br>[add Beach]<br>::::::::Ainsa Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Ainsa is the terminus of the minibus from Sabiñanigo through Torla, which skirts Ordesa National Park.<br>If the bus drops you at the bottom of the hill where hte newer part is, you may wonder why you bothered to come - but look across the road and you will see a sign for pedestrians pointing upwards towards the old part and what a transformation.<br>You have a huge square surrounded by cloistered buildings with the church at the end and two steep parallel lanes leading down from it.<br>:::::::::Albarracin Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>x<br>Albarracin<br>Javier Gil<br>A beautiful medieval city in the Pyrenees.<br>::::::Cantavieja Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Main church at Cantavieja<br>Main church at Cantavieja<br>davidx<br>Cantavieja is a small village and its specific sights can be quickly seen. However it's a vital link in the cicuit Valencia - Teruel - Maestrazgo - Castellón - Valencia, better described under Teruel. At least done in this direction, the circuit entails a night spent in Cantavieja and that's no hardship. The narrow streets of the old town grow on you rapidly and it's good to just stoll around, even though the hilltop location induces mighty winds.<br>Some of the houses are built immediatley over a sheer rocky precipice but you will need to take quite a walk to see this from below. If staying longer, you would doubtless find many good routes into the Maestrazgo mountains.<br>_________Sights<br>Edit This<br>Town Hall<br>Town Hall<br>davidx<br>Cantavieja gives good views from its hilltop position into the mountains of the Maestrazgo area. However there are not a lot of specific sights in the village itself, other than the church shown on the main Cantavieja page and the arcaded area to its right that includes the ayuntamiento [town hall] and the TIC.<br>::::::Huesca Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>San Juste de Noche<br>San Juste de Noche<br>Vicente Guerrero<br>Huesca lies at the foot of the Pyrenees. It is the second biggest city of the Community of Aragon.<br>The city is picturesque and a stroll through the streets of the old town gives you the opportunity to visit some museums and sights that testify of the long history of Huesca.<br>The Cathedral dates from the 13-th century but has seen many additions in later centuries - the hole is very convincing. Next to the Cathedral, the Diocesano museum has many pieces of great value, like altarpieces and murals of lost churches.<br>The City council was built in the 16-th century and offers a good example of the Aragonese Renaissance style. Nearby on the Plaza de la Universidad you will find some old university buildings which now serve as a museum and can be visited.<br>Also within the historical centre, the Church of San Pedro el Viejo is worth a visit. It was built on ancient temple, and is drawn up in Romanic style. In the Church the kings of Aragón are buried. Other religious buildings of note include the Basilica of San Lorenzo, in baroque style (s.XVII), the Church of Santo Domingo and San Martín, and that of Santa Teresa.<br>:::::Jaca Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>The Monastery, Siresia<br>The Monastery, Siresia<br>David Cross<br>Jaca is most often reached from Huesca, the provincial capital, by bus or train. Hoewever it provides one of the easiest entrances to Spain over the Pyrenees from Oleron Ste Marie in France and if you have reached the Ordesa National Park from the east, it it is easy to get a bus to Sabañanigo and change for Jaca.<br>The town itself has an interesting cathedral and an extensive citadel but it does lie a short distance away from the mountains which are the main attraction for most visitors. Even so it provides a good centre for a holiday with a car. Those dependant on public transport may prefer to stay further into the mountains.<br>________Getting Around<br>Edit This<br>The Monastery, Siresia<br>The Monastery, Siresia<br>David Cross<br>The bus out from Jaca to the delightful villages of Hecho [sometimes called Echo] and Ansó only runs in the evening and returns in the morning, meaning that they don't make convenient day trips unless with private transport. However they may well be thought to merit an overnight stay [or more.] Each is situated in its own valley some way south of the mountains which grace the French frontier. Just up-valley from Hecho, which is the first reached from Jaca, is Siresia, a small village with a ninth century monastery. Hecho itself is nowhere near as old as its winding streets and different depth steps would suggest but it really has a feeling of antiquity. Its few shops have an astonishing assortment of goods. Casa Blasquico, near the bus stop, is a very friendly place to stay with excellent food.<br>Ansó is the base for Alto Aragón holidays so more non-Spanish speech is to be heard. Again it is a well situated village though again it is a fair walk to the mountains. To compensate for this with those using public transport, which does not go up into the mountains, it seems much easier to hitch a lift here than in Spain generally.<br>NB Public transport users can get to Oleron Ste Marie first by train and bus and be back in Jaca in easy time to get the evening bus to either of these villages. When leaving on the morning bus it is easy to get buses on the same day from Jaca to Sabañanigo and then on to Torla for Ordesa National Park<br>__________Day Trips<br>Edit This<br>The obvious day trip for those using public transport is across the French border and out to Oleron Ste Marie and back. This is easily achieved by first getting a train or bus to Canfranc, near the border. From outside the station SNCF [French Railways] runs a bus to Oleron Ste Marie through fine wooded mountain slopes and valleys.<br>NB There are also local buses from Canfranc to Jaca which can be caught at the stop in view a little ABOVE the station<br>_______Things to do<br>Edit This<br>Looking from Torla towards Ordesa, fine next day!<br>Looking from Torla towards Ordesa, fine next day!<br>David Cross<br>Anybody who has not already been should try to get to the Ordesa National Park [http://www.ordesa.net/]. Click on como llegar to get the timetable of the minibus froom Sabañanigo but you can get a lot of other information here. There is a very regular coach service from Torla up to the national Park from the vast car park in Torla and, except in the winter, cars are not permitted to go in the park.<br>Torla may have been spoilt for those who have known it a long time by new building but for those staying in the centre it is not particularly troublesome.<br>Walks from the Ordesa carpark are of all levels from very simple to monstrous.<br>::::::::Ordesa National Park Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Torla<br>Torla<br>Yan Simkin (leprechaun_1)<br>The best entry point for Ordesa is Torla - see 'getting there.' There is no access for private cars, except in the winter, but a coach runs up every 20 minutes from the large car park There is a limit to the number allowed in at any one time but this is certainly not a problem outside the main holiday season. You can get off the coach at the Exhibition Centre [well worth while] and continue in another coach to the Ordesa coach park on the same ticket. here there is an information centre for walks, a cafeteria and toilets.<br>Walks are of all standards. Those who are not into steep slopes may well enjoy the walk from Ordesa back down to Torla by a very attractive footpath - only the last bit from the river being uphill. Otherwise it is possible to folow the river upwards for quite some distance before the path gets steeper.<br>Thre are Land Rover taxis, which do higher trips into the park but you have to provide a group or join onto one to make this a financially good proposition.<br>________Getting There<br>Edit This<br>In Torla - dodgy weather<br>In Torla - dodgy weather<br>davidx<br>Access is provided by a minibus, which hauls a trailer for your luggage from Sabiñanigo to Ainsa, morning out and afternoon return. Timetables for this service and times from a number of cities to reach it are provided on http://www.ordesa.net/como-llegar/ The site is in Spanish but this should not trouble you unduly.<br>It may be worth remembering that it is possible to arrive in time at Sabiñanigo via Jaca from either of the delightful villages of Ansó or Hecho<br>::::::::SASTAGO Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Puente de Sástago a orillas del Río Ebro<br>Puente de Sástago a orillas del Río Ebro<br>Luis Serrano<br>GREAT PLACE <br>::::::::::Sos del Rey Católico Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Sos del Rey Catolico<br>Sos del Rey Catolico<br>Info Aragon<br>Medieval aragonese city where was born Ferdinand The Catolic, king of Aragon, married with Isabel of Castille, and discover of America.<br>:::::::Teruel Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>Aqueduct/viaduct<br>Aqueduct/viaduct<br>davidx<br>Teruel is capital of the province with the same name in Aragón. It is well up on the edge of the Maestrazgo mountainous area, which is shared by Aragón and Valencia. The city rises steeply from the station but take the long motor route left as a pedestrian, rtaher than going up the staircase, unless you are happy with a lot of steps.<br>Although there are plenty of good modernist and renaissance buildings, Teruel's glory lies in its Mudejar architecture which is as good as any in Spain, not excepting Toledo. Details of the best of these and of the superb Provincial Museum and the Renaissance aqueduct based on the Roman pattern will be listed under sights.<br>A good circuit with a mixture of scenic, architectural and cultural attractions is , starting a Valencia : train to Teruel [three a day - or bus], bus to Cantavieja [1500], bus to Morella [0545 - oh dear!]. bus to Castellón [0740*], train to Valencia [frequent]. * Some guidebooks give an incorrect impression that there are two buses a day from Morella to Castellón.<br>Mudejar architecture, for those who don't know, is a specifically Spanish style developed by Moorish architects working for Christians after the re-conquest. Thus the Mudejar churches of Teruel were built as such, not as mosques. It seems a great pity that photos generally don't really bring out the delicate use of colour in the façades of the towers. They realy need to be seen.<br>:::::::::::Zaragoza Travel Guide<br>Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see<br>x<br>Zaragoza is the capital of Aragon. It is a city full of custom and culture. Only small numbers of non-Spanish find their way to this large and lively city between Madrid and Barcelona. Three quarters of the million people population of Aragon are living in Zaragoza.
