Top 5 Dog Sledding Places for a New and Exciting Vacation Idea

Top 5 Dog Sledding Places for a New and Exciting Vacation Idea

It is widely recognized that dog sledding was invented by the Inuit people in what is now Canada thousands of years ago. Early on, a single dog likely pulled a single small load of goods like firewood. Later, dog sledding became more advanced by using teams of dogs to pull larger loads and eventually humans through the Arctic regions of the world. Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada Alberta, specifically the Canmore area, offers the opportunity to glide through snow-covered trails in t

Check Out This Guide for a Perfect Winter Train Voyage

Check Out This Guide for a Perfect Winter Train Voyage

Train travel may take longer compared to other transportation, but the benefits can be immense. Across North America, anyone can take a scenic ride through mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests for about the same price — or less — as an airline ticket while also traveling in cushier seats and a more relaxed atmosphere. And these scenic rides aren’t just for summer getaways — winter is just as magical a time to ride the rails, if not more. Adirondack Train: New York City, New York Departing daily from New York City and journeying through Albany to Montreal, this scenic trip takes you straight through New York State’s Adirondacks, where snow lovers can marvel at the icy peaks and white-dusted trees that blanket the landscape. California Zephyr: Chicago, Illinois If you want to truly see the extent of America’s gorgeous and diverse scenery in wintertime, you can’t do better than with the California Zephyr with Amtrak. This roughly two-day winter train excursion takes you from Chicago to San Francisco, where you can see all kinds of landscapes across the U.S., from the Great Plains to icy peaked mountains — all blanketed in snow. Coast Starlight Train: Seattle, Washington The frigid Pacific Northwest has plenty of fantastic views of forests, lakes, rivers, and the snow-capped Cascade mountains for people who want to enjoy a winter wonderland. But, you can also gently watch the snow melt away as you travel south through California to Los Angeles on this scenic ride. Colorado Ski Train: Denver, Colorado Luckily for ski bunnies, the Winter Park Express is an Amtrak train that delivers you from Denver Union Station to the doorstep of Winter Park Resort. This amazing scenic ride takes you into the Colorado Rockies for a day, weekend, or even a whole week of skiing between January and April (tickets go on sale in late November or early December of the previous year). Yellowstone in the Winter: Salt Lake City, Utah The Amtrak winter train ride, which includes hotel accommodations for four nights, is built around a tour of Yellowstone National Park. Geysers, hot springs, and steam vents take on a special magnificence in the winter, as the hot water steams amidst the icy environment. Not only is wildlife much easier to spot — especially wolves native to the area — you also won’t have to fight crowds to get a good view.

Tropical Paradise, Bali - Perfect Winter Escape for Gen Z

Tropical Paradise, Bali - Perfect Winter Escape for Gen Z

Bali is one among thousands of islands that make up the republic of Indonesia. In the midst of the most populous Islamic country in the world, this small island has remained predominantly Hindu. In short, whatever you want to do, you will probably find it in Bali and you can easily spend a month here and still only see a fraction of the sights on offer. The hardest part of a holiday here is choosing where to go first and what you want to see. Things To Do Island Hopping Island hopping when in Bali is an absolute must – and luckily, some of our faves are just a hop, skip and a short boat ride away. Just 40 minutes from Bali’s mainland you’ll find Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and our favourite, Nusa Penida. It’s one of Bali’s most breathtaking islands, with pristine landscapes that look like they’re straight out of Jurassic Park. Hike to the Top of Mount Batur Sunrise hike up Mount Batur is something we highly recommend (and not just for the delicious breakfast you get at the top!). The hike only takes a couple of hours, and it’s not too challenging, meaning almost anyone can do it. Explore the Island With Go-Jek Go-Jek really is a godsend. We can’t remember how we ever survived before this all-in-one app fell from heaven. So, do yourself a favour and download the app as soon as you arrive – you’ll then have access to cheap transport, home-delivered food from all of your fave Bali restaurants, in-villa massages, on-call cleaners, at-home beauty services, personal shoppers, postal services and even home removal vans – all available at your fingertips! Wild Water Sports If you want to take your water sport experience to the next level, then Bali is also a great place to try kitesurfing, windsurfing and parasailing. With its warm waters and steady wind, this is the perfect place to get your adrenaline pumping. No matter what kind of water sport you're looking for, Bali has something for everyone. From relaxing stand-up paddle board trips to wild kitesurfing adventures, Bali has it all. So jump in, the waters perfect! Hit Up One of Bali’s Best Beach Clubs Bali knows how to do great cocktails, shaken and stirred at some seriously awesome and iconic bars that you simply cannot miss. The perfect place to do that is Finns Beach Club, located in Canggu. This beach club boasts some of the best views in Bali, with white sandy beaches and a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean. Must Eat While in Bali Babi Guling - Suckling Pig Babi guling, or suckling pig, is one of Bali’s most famous dishes. It is very unlikely to find this dish outside of Bali since a majority of the population in Indonesia are Muslim. The most popular place to eat babi guling is at Pak Malen in Seminyak. Naughty Nuri's Naughty Nuri’s is a Bali legend. They first opened in 1995 in Ubud and became known for their Indonesian barbecued pork ribs and martinis which the late great Anthony Bourdain famously declared the “best martinis outside of New York”. Chandi Bebek Betutu Bebek betutu is another Bali food classic. It’s a special Indonesian dish of steamed Balinese duck heavily seasoned with an Indonesian spice mixture called betutu.

8 Things You Need to Prepare Before Seeing the Aurora

8 Things You Need to Prepare Before Seeing the Aurora

The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, is a natural phenomenon – an incredible light show in the sky that can paint the entire sky with colors of green, purple, and red. It's not something we can see often in many parts of the world, but those lucky enough to see it will remember it for many years to come. Are you planning a trip to see the Northern Lights? Or maybe you're wondering if you should take a chance and visit Iceland? Either way, here are the 8 things you need to prepare before seeing the aurora. What to Wear In case you are not aware yet, aurora can only be seen in the part of the world where it's dominantly cold. Even so, you don't need to dress like the Michelin Man. You can wear three layers and still feel comfortable. If you want to be able to change conveniently between low-temperature and room-temperature environments, consider the onion-style method. Using this method, you only need to wear mainly two types of clothing, the inner and the outer. For the outer, you would want to wear a two-layered jacket, one layer being a waterproof windbreaker while the other layer is made of warm wool. This is to prevent outside wind from entering your body and causing you to catch a cold. Most people may sometimes opt for a neck scarf as well. As for the inside, either a thermal undershirt or even a T-shirt should be enough. Gloves can make your life easier In addition to the above attires, if you want to stay longer in the cold, having gloves is a must. Ski gloves are the more popular choice, but the problem is that the material is sometimes unnecessarily heavy and you may need to take them off every time you need to use your smartphone. That's why you should spend more time looking for the right one. Consider buying a more comfortable and lighter style that enables using your camera or smartphone, so you never miss a moment. Snow chain is unnecessary As long as you are driving on a public road with asphalt, avoiding mountain roads and seasons when it snows heavily, gearing your car with the snow chain is not necessary. Additionally, there are snowplow trucks clearing the snow and spreading salt to maintain the road every day. Right now, Canada and the United States do not allow using snow chains. Snowy road: driving and parking 101 Do not powerfully stomp either your brake or your gas pedal, to prevent your vehicle from skidding. If you ever find yourself skidding a little, slightly moving your steering wheel should be enough to bring you back to balance. This is why it's important to not speed and leave some distance to stop your vehicle safely. If you are driving during November and December when the temperature is usually the lowest, make sure you park your vehicle near engine heaters and connect it to your car to prevent your car engine from freezing. Photography equipment Nowadays, with the improvement of the performance of equipment, you can take pictures of the northern light with some manual-operated micro monoculars or even high-end small cameras, as long as they have good noise control and pure high-sensitivity ISO performance, combined with a tripod and a large aperture to extend the exposure time, most of them can record the graceful dance of the aurora. But keep in mind that aurora is a large-scale natural phenomenon, so it is recommended to use a wide-angle or fisheye lens for shooting. How to take beautiful pictures Taking pictures of the aurora may be a little bit more complicated if you want to capture its elegant movement. When shooting the aurora, most people will use a high sensitivity above ISO 1600 with a large aperture. Generally speaking, the aperture of F4 is sufficient, but don’t forget to adjust the focus to manual, and then turn the focus position to infinity. When you are ready, you can carefully observe the dancing movement of the aurora, and then press the shutter for the long exposure time, usually about 5 to 15 seconds. If the brightness is high and the movement is fast, you may need to close the shutter early. Therefore, when shooting, you should keep your eyes on the situation of the aurora. Sometimes you can close the shutter for a big turning picture, because if the aurora changes too fast, although it's very beautiful to our own eyes, it may be too blurry in the image presentation, and the beauty would not be captured perfectly. Dealing with different brightness Generally speaking, the brightness of the aurora is divided into 10 levels. The camera needs more than 30 seconds to clearly identify brightness level 1 and 2, otherwise it will look like a white smoke, lightly floating in the air. Level 3 and 4 will slowly begin to turn from white to green, appearing in front of our eyes as light green light, which is commonly known as green light. Brightness level 5 and higher will be very dazzling, and the change in color is crystal clear visible, with the light lavender color sometimes emerging in the night sky. If you are extremely extremely lucky, you may have the opportunity to see the aurora with level 8-10 brightness, illuminating the earth. During this moment, quick, take out your iPhone and snap. Keep yourself informed of the weather If you are using iOS, here are the two app you can consider downloading. 1. Aurora - By Roger Moffatt http://goo.gl/cC3Rl4 2. Aurora Forecast - by TINAC Inc http://goo.gl/Mc053j Through those free apps, you can observe the geomagnetic response and radius trend of the aurora, so as to know its predictability. There are 5 levels in total. Although the predictability of the aurora is based on sunspots and geomagnetic reaction, if the weather is not supportive and thick clouds covered the sky, the northern light would not be visible, no matter how exaggerated and beautiful it bursts all over the earth. That's why it's important to look for the aerial condition on satellite cloud images, analyze the route, and plan properly. You can also utilize the aurora forecast website provided by the University of Alaska below. Aurora Forecast | Geophysical InstituteForecasts of auroral activity, updated daily.Geophysical Institute In addition, you should also pay attention  to the position of the moon and the change in the lunar phase, as the brightness of the moon will also affect the brightness of the aurora. Many people always visit on days during the new moon where the aurora is less affected by the moonlight. However, it is actually beneficial sometimes to have moonlight. In this way, parts of the landscape can be clearly captured without exposing for too long, but of course the magnificence of the aurora depends on the brightness level of the performance at that time.

Experience the Most Scenic Hot Springs Destinations in the USA. The Perfect Place for an Unforgettable Getaway!

Experience the Most Scenic Hot Springs Destinations in the USA. The Perfect Place for an Unforgettable Getaway!

Mother Nature has blessed the United States with numerous natural wonders such as mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, waterfalls and hot springs. A hidden jewel amongst these nature’s bounty is the beautiful hot springs in USA. Besides its calming effect on people, the hot springs in USA are also frequented by many for its therapeutic uses. There are many famous hot springs in USA, as a result of which, there is a steady rise in the number of resorts and spas around them. 1. Iron Mountain Hot Springs, Colorado Overlooking the mighty Colorado River in the historic town of Glenwood Springs, Iron Mountain Hot Springs offers a more intimate and varied soaking experience than at the nearby (and better known) Glenwood Hot Springs Resort. You can choose your own adventure at the 16 geothermal mineral soaking pools here (ages 5 and up only), connected by heated walkways. 2. Homestead Crater, Utah As long as you’re okay with a hot springs soak that’s not as hot as most of them (temperatures max out around 96°F here), Utah’s Homestead Crater definitely delivers the most diverse onsite experiences of any hot springs we know. Where else can you not only float in womb-like waters but also scuba dive in them (if you’re certified), snorkel and even try some SUP yoga within the beehive-shaped dome of the hot springs’ natural limestone. 3. Castle Hot Springs, Arizona Tucked into a scenic canyon in the Bradshaw Mountains, just an hour from Phoenix, Castle Hot Springs has been luring tourists since the late 1800s–and Indigenous peoples for far longer–with its healing waters. Now a luxury all-inclusive wellness resort, it’s well worth a stay here for exceptional stargazing at night, a thrilling onsite via ferrata course and, of course, 24-hour access to mineral hot springs that cascade across three pools of varying temperatures. 4. Chena Hot Springs, Alaska If there’s any state in the US that naturally begs you to seek out a hot spring, then it’s Alaska. And one of the most famous ones in the state is found 150 miles south of the Arctic Circle near Fairbanks at Chena Hot Springs. If your luck is on point here during the darker months of the year, from late August through late April, you might even get lucky and catch the Northern Lights swirling overhead while you soak. 5. Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs, Colorado You can come as a day-tripper or stay the night in adorable cabins (including the Chuck Wagon, which sleeps only two people and sits atop actual wheels) at this inimitable hot springs resort in Colorado’s sublime Crystal River Valley. Surrounded by mountains in the White River National Forest, Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs has three hot spring pools on the property of varying sizes that cascade, waterfall-like, down the mountainside. 6. Orvis Hot Springs, Colorado Ten indoor and outdoor soaking pools beckon uninhibited lovers of lithium-infused water to this clothing-optional oasis just north of Ouray in southwestern Colorado. Water temperatures in the various pools at Orvis Hot Springs run the range from a nippy 65°F to a steamy 114°F in the lobster pot, so you can try alternating hot and cold dips if you really want to get your blood flowing. 7. Hot Springs State Park, Wyoming What’s better than a hot spring surrounded by nature in a state park? How about free-entry hot springs surrounded by nature in a state park. That’s right, there’s no one taking tickets or sliding your credit card to access the Wyoming State Bath House in Thermopolis, Wyoming, at Hot Springs State Park. Indoor and outdoor mineral hot springs flow up from the earth at 128°F and are cooled to 104°F for your therapeutic bathing benefit. 8. Benton Hot Springs, California Camping alongside your own private hot spring-fed soaking tub with spectacular views? We’re into it. The 11 private hot spring-fed soaking pools at Benton Hot Springs in California’s Mono County are available for overnight rentals and sit astride your own picnic table and fire pit for roasting s’mores post soaking session. Feel free to pitch a tent (or show up in an RV or camper) for the night to linger longer and enjoy the dark skies overhead (there’s an inn here with a few rustic rooms, too, but camping is where it’s at). 9. Tolovana Hot Springs, Alaska Where Chena Hot Springs tends to draw the aurora-seeking masses to its sprawling outdoor hot pool, this more remote Alaskan hot spring destination 45 miles as the crow (or helicopter) flies north of Fairbanks makes you earn it—which means hiking or flying in during the summer months, or arriving by dogsled or on skis when it’s snowy. As you might imagine, arriving by dog sled to Tolovana Hot Springs pretty much takes the cake, and you can head out with Arctic Dog Aventure Co. to reach the springs on multi-night dog sledding expeditions that promise one awesome adventure (and often the Northern Lights, too). 10. Burgdorf Hot Springs, Idaho Topping the list of Idaho’s most epic and historic hot springs, Burgdorf Hot Springs is on the National Register of Historic Places and delivers a true western experience. Open to guests who overnight in the rustic collection of onsite cabins as well as day visitors who register their visits in advance, the springs are surrounded by the lodgepole-pine covered slopes of the Salmon River Mountains and original wooden structures built by miners in the 1800s.

Things You Need to Know Before Visiting the Santa Claus Village

Things You Need to Know Before Visiting the Santa Claus Village

You can meet Santa Claus and cross the magical Arctic Circle every day at the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. There are many souvenir shops as well as Santa’s Main Post Office, programme service companies and cafes and restaurants in the Santa Claus Village. And of course, Santa is there too, in his chamber every day of the year. What is the Santa Claus Village? Santa Claus Village is known as Father Christmas’ official residence in the Arctic Circle. It’s the place to visit to meet him, Mrs Claus, the elves and the reindeer. Expect plenty of fun activities and Christmas spirit! Where is the Santa Claus Village? You only have to travel to the north of Finland, to a region called Lapland. The village is located just inside the Arctic Circle, around 8 kilometres (5 miles) from Rovaniemi. Rovaniemi is the capital of Finnish Lapland and considered to be the official hometown of Santa. When is the best time to visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi? The village is open all year round, so you could visit whenever suits you best. For the ultimate winter getaway, we recommend a Lapland trip in December, January, February or March. At this time, you can expect a blanket of snow over the stunning landscape. What to do in Santa Claus Village? First, meet the "big man in red" himself either at the Santa Claus Office or the Christmas House. Make sure to check the opening hours before your visit so you don’t miss him. Outdoor Activities As well as these Christmassy activities, there’s plenty of other things to dig your teeth into at the Santa Claus Holiday Village. Not just literally at the many restaurants, cafés and bars, but with fun Arctic rides. Other fun things to do in Lapland If you’re staying in Rovaniemi or the nearby town of Kemi, there is a range of other exciting activities to experience. Add one or more of the following to your itinerary to make the most of your Arctic adventure: * Explore the Ranua Wildlife Park * Go hunting for the northern lights * Visit the Arktikum Museum * Take a tour or stay at the Arctic SnowHotel * Warm up in a Finnish sauna

Don’t Miss Out on These Top 10 Winter Resorts That Are Perfect for Non-skiers

Don’t Miss Out on These Top 10 Winter Resorts That Are Perfect for Non-skiers

So, you're not a two-planker or a snowboard shredder. You'd rather not rip down triple black diamonds or gear up for a day in the park. And god forbid you have to ride up a chairlift. And you know what? That's OK. Winter wonderland vacations don’t always have to be about skiing. If you’d like to enjoy a wintertime adventure, make sure to check out these list! 1. Sun Valley, Idaho Sun Valley Resort has been voted the #1 ski resort in North America by SKI Magazine readers two years running. However, this resort offers so much more than the freshly groomed, uncrowded ski slopes for which it is so well known. From luxury accommodations and delectable cuisine offerings to abundant outdoor activities and a world-class spa, everyone in your group can enjoy a perfect vacation at Sun Valley. 2. Keystone, Colorado Keystone is one of the most popular ski resorts for families. Not only does it offer plenty of great skiing, but there is also practically an endless number of other things to do. The resort’s Lakeside Village is home to the largest outdoor ice skating rink in America and the largest Zamboni-maintained outdoor rink anywhere in the world. You can enjoy gliding across the ice while gazing at the soaring snowcapped mountains as well as taking part in a host of other winter activities like horse-drawn sleigh rides, tubing, and even snow biking. Yoga, group exercise classes, and outdoor tennis courts are available year-round, not to mention the numerous options for shopping as well as great spa services too. 3. Whistler Blackcomb - Whistler, British Columbia, Canada Whistler Blackcomb is often ranked among the best ski resorts in the world, but that doesn’t mean non-skiers will be left twiddling their thumbs either. The resort’s village has so much to do, it almost feels like a big city that’s been dropped right into the mountains. There are practically endless shopping opportunities as well as outstanding restaurants and plenty of fun activities too. 4. Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico From delicious New Mexican food to unique art and even a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Taos, New Mexico, has plenty to offer travelers. Taos is a haven for artists, and there are endless galleries and museums to delight any art lover. Stroll through the historic Taos Plaza and you’ll find shops filled with handmade art, pottery, jewelry, and more. After all of the shopping, you can refuel on authentic New Mexican fare featuring traditional green chiles and mole — and grab a drink and enjoy live music at Taos Mesa Brewery. 5. Stowe Mountain, Vermont Known for some of the country’s most beautiful fall foliage and as the “Alpine Ski Capital of the East,” Stowe Mountain Resort attracts the majority of its visitors during fall and winter. The resort and surrounding areas offer plenty of excitement and activities for skiers and non-skiers alike. One of the most popular outdoor activities in Stowe besides skiing is fatbiking. The wide tires on this bike enable you to easily glide through the snowy, groomed trails. Many area shops offer fatbike rentals and can direct you to one of the many free-to-explore trails. 6. St. Moritz, Switzerland Skiers know St. Moritz as one of the best ski destinations in Switzerland and as a two-time host of the Winter Olympics, but the possibilities for non-skiers are pretty amazing too. The active can take advantage of all of the usual off-piste options like snowshoeing, and adrenaline seekers won’t want to miss the heart-pounding ride on the Olympic bob run that comes complete with a professional pilot and brakeman – it reaches speeds of 80 miles per hour. 7. Avoriaz, France Ideal for families who want to split their time between the slopes and non-skiing activities, Avoriaz was previously awarded the “Best Family Resort” at the World Ski Awards. This car-free resort, the only one of its kind in France, offers a relaxed, safe village with lots of restaurants, cafes, and shops that are all accessed by foot or horse-drawn sleigh. 8. Breuil-Cervinia, Italy If you want an ideal destination that’s great for families with non-skiing and skiing members, Cervinia is a great choice. Plus, it’s a lot more affordable than Zermatt, which sits just across the Swiss border. Ski passes, ski rentals, and even coffee are much less expensive here. It also offers kids’ playgrounds and snowparks as well as a natural ice rink that features a bar and sun terrace. 9. Cranmore Mountain, New Hampshire Nestled in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire, Cranmore Resort is known for its family friendly atmosphere and easy to manage size with about 50 runs for all levels. However, the biggest draw may be North Conway, an idyllic New England town perfect in all seasons, but extra charming with a fresh layer of snow. It’s an amazing weekend getaway even if you have no plans to enjoy the slopes. 10. Mohonk Mountain House - New Paltz, New York Located in the Catskills Mountains, this resort offers a variety of non-skiing activities like ice skating, snow tubing, and snowshoeing. You’ll also have the chance to take part in movie nights, watch blacksmith demonstrations, swim in the indoor pool, or join in on daily group exercise sessions. During many winter weekends, a host of other entertainment options are often available too, including tastings, demonstrations, and music.

You can eat sublime seafood under simple palm-frond roofs, drink chilled coconut water while lounging in a hammock, and enjoy poolside cocktails at an upmarket resort. The nightlife is great and there's a beach for everyone, whether you prefer yours backed by high-rise hotels or tumbledown cabins. In the ocean, you can surf world-class breaks and spot humpback whales breaching on the horizon, battalions of mother turtles arriving to lay their eggs, pelicans flying in formation or pods of dolphins rising from the waves. Don't hesitate, come and start you surfing adventure now. 1. Jardín Botánico de Vallarta In the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, you can see one of Mexico's most extensive orchid collections, as well as a variety of native plants and birds. After strolling through the grounds, you can go down a jungle trail to the tranquil shores of Río Horcones, where you can swim in a boulder-strewn river. Nature enthusiasts come from far and wide to see the garden’s colorful collection of native orchids. You’ll see Mexican vanilla, cacao trees, and agave tequilana, learn about how chocolate is made and how it played an important role in pre-Hispanic rituals at the same time. 2. Yelapa Yelapa is a small fishing community with a picturesque beach. It's backed by jungle-shrouded mountains and is best reached by boat. The beach is definitely a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Puerto Vallarta. There are plenty of places to eat in Yelapa, from seafood restaurants to taco joints and cafes. You can try local specialties like fish tacos, birria, and pescado zarandeado. And don't forget to try a michelada cubana! After your meal, look for one of Yelapa's "pie ladies," who walk around the beach carrying delicious coconut, banana, and lime pies. 3. Playa La Boquita At Playa La Boquita, you can spend the day swimming in calm waters, lounging on the beach, and snorkeling around a shipwreck. There are also plenty of seafood restaurants to enjoy on another beach nearby Yelapa. 4. Volcán Ceboruco This active volcano consisting of two calderas and three cinder cones. You're allowed to hike around this active volcano, which last erupted in 1870. The road to the volcano passes lava fields, fumaroles, and lush vegetation. It begins in the village of Jala, which is 7km off the highway from Tepic to Guadalajara. 5. Zona Arqueológica de Palma Sola Palma Sola is an archaeological settlement located in the amphitheater or upper part of the port of Acapulco, yet Acapulco's best-kept secret hill.The site has an area of approximately four hectares and is made up of a set of architectural complexes built with stonework and mud, among which the Great Pyramid stands out. It's a ceremonial and pilgrimage site dating back to 450 BCE to 650 CE, with some wonderfully preserved rock paintings, petroglyphs depicting the story of creation, and the best bird's-eye view of the city. 6. Clavadistas de la Quebrada Acapulco's cliff divers have been dazzling audiences since 1934. Every night, a team of seven lithe young divers leaps into churning waves, scales the cliff opposite the viewing platform, and then plunges with fearless finesse from heights of 25m to 35m into the narrow ocean cove below. 7. Zócalo Acapulco's leafy old town, Zócalo, comes alive with street performers, mariachis, and sidewalk cafes every night yet also hosts occasional festivals. The town is the main square in central Mexico City. It was the main ceremonial center in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The plaza is now known as Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Square). The name comes from the Cádiz Constitution, which was signed in Spain by the representatives of Mexico during the Mexican War of Independence. 8. Old Mazatlán Mazatlán's old town has been restored and is full of beautiful 19th-century buildings and lovely plazas. It's set back from Playa Olas Altas, a small cove beach where the waterfront road – with its old-fashioned bars and hotels – makes you feel like you're in the 1950s. Though it's not as nice as it could be because of the ugly radio masts of Cerro de la Nevería, this old quarter is still delightful, with student life and numerous art galleries, cafes, restaurants and bars. 9. Teatro Ángela Peralta The 1366-seat theater named after a 19th-century soprano, just off Plaza Machado, was a thriving center of local cultural life for nearly a century. It was revived from its decaying state by dedicated local citizens in the late 1980s, And the three-level interior has been restored to its former splendor. All kinds of cultural events are staged here, from temporary art exhibitions to the annual Festival Cultural Mazatlán. By the coast, you can enjoy the air if you're nature enthusiasts. Yet the coast also houses quite some cultural events, so don't worry if you're looking for a artistic trip. It's the best you love both nature and culture of the coast!

Movietown Plaza. My stay was pleasant and the staff was super friendly. The recent updates to the room gave a warm cozy feel. My room attendant was amazing and made my 12 day stay feel as if each day was the first day there by doing an impeccable job cleaning and little touches to feel welcomed. Thank you Sherieda. The Courtyard was pretty and a relaxing pool area that was not to busy during my stay. Overall, friendly, safe and convenient place to stay while in Trinidad. Jason"—jabirdiee "Had a wonderful and memorable stay. Stellar customer service. The staff really exemplified the warmth of the Caribbean. Joleesa was kind and attentive, so courteous and ensured we were always comfortable. She went above and beyond to facilitate us. The room was clean, spacious and intimate. A beautiful, amazing view from your room's balcony. Great location and amenities. The highlight for me really was the staff. Again, excellent customer service!"—Neressa D "Our stay at Marriott's was amazing, service was excellent. Friendly and accommodating staff. Rooms was immaculate, food was great. Room service was also excellent. I took another family with me at your Hotel and they was amazed of the service received at Marriott's. I was at the Hotel in 2016 and returned in 2020 recently and there have been mass improvement with the ambiance and re-modelling of the facility. Due to Covid-19 there were many restrictions, but your staff made it very comfortable for our stay. I must acknowledge a few members of staff who displayed professionalism and exceptional customerservice: Dinelle Rivers, Rachael Simon, Saloi Humphrey, Gina Wayow-Manning, Jolessa Lopez.

I pre- booked a private car from Asia gardens to collect us at the airport, and although we were delayed by nearly 2 hours our driver was still there to collect us on arrival. This cost was 115 euros but worth every penny, greeted immediately with complimentary water and a 35 minute drive in an air conditioned car We arrived quite late so checked in and got our head down to explore the grounds the following day. Asia gardens is in a microclimate so we enjoyed temperatures of 27+ each day The grounds were well spaced out with a very calming relaxed feeling, although there were some children there this was well thought out with designated family and adult only areas Breakfast was a vast buffet selection each morning and set us up for the day Plenty of on resort restaurants to choose from for evening dinner, and piano champagne bars also secluded, tranquil setting with the option to head into Benidorm if you wish (around 15 mins and 15 euros in a cab) Favourite evening meal had to be the Koh Samui - lovely food, and fantastic service, followed by drinks at the bonsai bar, great atmosphere and great service We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Asia Gardens and Ed have already recommended to our friends and family ….

Loved cycling into Estapona and the guys at the sports centre were always really friendly and helpful.Spa treatments very good, if pricey.Very difficult to book restaurants which was frustrating, but a small niggle in a stay that was otherwise very niggle free."—viross5000 "First time at Ikos, top notch experience across everything - welcome, rooms, food, restaurants, housekeeping and amazing service.

My tip is you wait a few minutes before eating so it cools/thickens just a little and clings to the churro better. A child of mine said you need maximum chocolate adhesion. (Science word of the day)"—Hart P. "Chocolate con churros are definitely a treat though because they're very heavy and have a certain taste to them that lingers in your mouth for a while, but it's definitely worth it if you're ever in Madrid. Definitely recommend coming with friends so you guys can share!"—Jenny T. "You simply cannot visit Madrid and not stop in at San Gines. This is the perfect place for that mid afternoon snack when you want to rest your legs and enjoy something sweet.

There is also Hachiko's Statue, great hotel for it's price and privilege. -Carlos GR I generally like the Cerulean though it's starting to be in need to fix up the rooms as becoming somewhat dated. Also, any hotel that still charges to use the pool plus charges over $100 a night for a cot isn't worth it. The check-out line during Covid was atrocious -SamM Stayed here at the start of 2020. For the classic luxurious stay in Tokyo this is your best bet if you want a Japanese brand over international chains. The location is a short walk to central Shibuya. Room and bathroom offers a superb view over the city skyline. Extremely spacious by Japanese standards. Will be my go to hotel any time I want to splurge in Tokyo. -pgia4868 Hotel info * https://www.tokyuhotelsjapan.com/ * 26-1 Sakuragaoka-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-8512 * +81-3-3476-3000 You may also be interested in: Travel Back in Showa in Kyoto10 Japanese style resorts in Kyoto you wouldn’t want to leave.BucktripDeweySpirited Away ⛩: JapanBuy your ticket and travel to confirm, whether Japan is the Japan that you imagined.Bucktrip三口矛木

We hope to go back one day!” — Amanda H “This ryokan is in an excellent location. Our room was very comfortable, the bath completely relaxing and the service outstanding.

It was a lovely time in a beautiful traditional ryokan, with many excellent amenities which craft a perfect experience. But what I can't emphasize enough is the service! The staff is super friendly and really made the experience! I can't recommend this place enough.” — Joseph “Amazing experience in a traditional ryokan. Located in a strategic position, very close to the main Kyoto station, what you book is not a normal stay, or a room for the night but a real extraordinary experience! The atmosphere inside seems magic, kaiseki dinner and breakfast are something that can't be described until you try it and the crew is the icing on the cake! Thanks for eveything!” — Damiano C “My Finance' and I stayed for 2 nights here in February 2020. It was an unforgetable experience. We had a large room that overlooked the shrine across the street.

The green tea ceremony and traditional Japanese breakfast are some of our most treasured memories of our time in Japan. Thank you Nishiyama Ryokan for making our stay so special!” — Michs “We stayed with another couple for 1 night, but I wish we had more time to fully enjoy the stay at Nishiyama Ryokan. They treated us with care, paid detailed attention to our needs, and the rooms were super clean and the bathrooms were really nice. I also used the big bath downstairs and it was also clean and relaxing. I slept well in a nice futon. The food was first class and I think we ate everything. A big compliment to the chef and the server lady was super assertive and helpful. We were also amazed by the traditional tea ceremony performed and served by the second generation owners. They were so fantastic, polite and kind. We want to come back. I'd recommend this Ryokan to anyone.” — DallasTexas123 “An amazing place to stay!

The rooms are very spacious, which is rare in Japan, we had a lot of space! The ryokan amenities are great, especially the public baths, excellent to relax after a day of touring Kyoto. The building is clean and well preserved. The attention to details is fantastic, as everyday you get little treats like tea and cookies. The staff also was very friendly and polite. The location is convenient, close to a subway station and bus stops, and there are several restaurants nearby, but still in a quiet neighborhood. Maybe a bit distant from the most important Kyoto's landmarks, but still easy to move in the city using public transportation.” — Diego M “We had a delightful few days at this lovely ryokan. Service was super friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy and traditional (futons on floor, with thick, warm duvets). The location is great, just a short walk to a quiet station which will take you to Gion and Pontocho in a few stops. The same train line also links to local routes which will take you to several of the less busy temples. If you are lucky enough to be here for the autumn leaves as we were then you should see Enkoji and Shisen-do (they are next to each other): sublime! Many thanks to Sawaya Honten for a memorable stay in Kyoto.” — cwdbrighton “We stayed there for 11 nights and very much enjoyed it. This was our first Ryokan experience and we would go back there anytime. The place is clean and the owner was friendly and accommodating. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance of the subway line and bus stop.

Huge private hot tub made with hinoki wood was the most exciting part of this room. Two rooms were in good size and beddings ,mattress and futons were in excellent condition. Staffs were very helpful and fluent in English as well. Great service, great breakfast (as we did not choose dinner option) and more than great bath.” — hkjerry “This homely ryokan exudes a warm welcoming feeling with its super comfortable futons, yummy breakfast and friendly staff. Prices are steep but worth every cent. We walked to all the major scenic spots in Arashimaya and enjoyed the crisp fresh morning air. Will most certainly come back here when we next visit Kyoto.” — raykuan “Food, hospitality, and location were incredible. The location could not have been better. We ate dinner over looking the mountains, river, and bridge. And the private onsen..... so relaxing. This was one of our most expensive excursions while in Japan but it was worth every penny to experience this traditional Japanese inn. We had SO MUCH food and were so relaxed. Thank you to the staff for this great night!” — Elizabeth M Restaurant Info * https://benkei.biz/ * +81 75-872-3355 * 34 Sagatenryuji Susukinobabacho, Ukyo-Ku, Kyoto 616-8385 Kyoto Prefecture You may also be interested in: Spirited Away ⛩: JapanBuy your ticket and travel to confirm, whether Japan is the Japan that you imagined.Bucktrip三口矛木Cuddle the Canola Flowers Closer 💛: Jeju IslandLooking for a place to travel that has everything you could want?

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

"Impossible n’est pas français." in Auckland, New Zealand. 1. Crêpes A Go-Go This shop is the perfect place to come and take the time to eat a fabulous crêpe on the spot. You will be able to seat and relax here while enjoying your treat! The shop offers a wide variety of both sweet and savory crêpes, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. The friendly staff are always on hand to help, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy your crêpe. Food popular here * Banana loving Crepes with NUTELLA * Pear Nutella and nuts * Sun dried tomato and mushroom galette Let’s see how people review this restaurant “In the Ponsoby area, this is the perfect place to grab a quick snack or a light breakfast before you get going. They have a small stall in the food market and an expansive menu of sweet and savory crepes. I went with a simple passion fruit curd crepe, while my boyfriend was more adventurous with a maple and bacon topped crepe. The base crepe is thin, light, and only just slightly sweet (which I think is pretty good, as far as crepes go). The passion fruit curd was delightfully tart and was, in my opinion, a perfect topping. To add even more to your experience, they serve the crepe on a wood block with a dainty pizza cutter for what can only be described as an instagram-able plating experience.” — Laura S. “I think half the fun is watching the creeps be made. It's like an art in itself. The only other place I've had a crepe was in France, and these were just as wonderful. The only downside is having too many options. No matter what I were to choose, there'd be someone ordering a different sweet or savory that I'd wished I'd ordered. In this case, I was craving something sweet and got the strawberrys and caramel Nutella...then saw the "savory" ham, cheese, egg and carmalized onion one my brother bought and wanted to switch when he wasn't looking. I guess the solution to my dilema would be to go in a group and order a bunch of sweet or savory, then share. The location of Crepes a gogo is right on the water and in the middle of everything so you can also order pizza or nachos right next door and make a meal of it all.” — Laura C. “I love this place ! I go here often, especially  when I am on the run and needing somethin quick and easy. It was the last & first place I visited when I travelled overseas for a few months... I missed it THAT much.” —Keryn F. Restaurant Info * https://www.crepesagogo.co.nz/ * 021 952 323 * 136-138 Ponsonby Rd Ponsonby Central Auckland 1011 New Zealand 2. The Engine Room They always cook with seasonal ingredients, sourcing them from local growers or growing them themselves whenever possible. While using high-quality produce and employing skilled cooking techniques are essential to creating great dishes, they believe that the best meals are also about the overall experience. Every dish is inevitably connected to a memory, such as where you ate it, who you were with, the surroundings, the weather, or the ambience. All of these factors contribute to the taste of a dish. Food popular here * Rabbit rillette * Confit duck with grilled peach, Israeli Couscous and babaganoush * Cheese soufflé Let’s see how people review this restaurant “We took the ferry from Auckland to Northcote and walked up to the Engine Room. What a great spot! As expected, We thoroughly enjoyed the soufflé as a starter. For our mains, we had the duck (delicious) and the snapper (fine but not out of this world). We split the panna cotta for dessert, which was amazing! The wine list tended toward the pricey, but we found a Pinot Gris that we both enjoyed.” — Jason L. “Everything they say about the twice baked goat soufflé is true! A classy local joint for a romantic dinner or a culinary trailer for a Bridgeway cinema experience. Great cocktails and wine list and helpful staff. Worth a sunset trek over the bridge.” — Hiran T. “The Engine Room offers a great dining experience. It's not a formal, stiff, high end place with lots of carefully thought out areas and an excruciatingly well-paid interior designer. It is a high end restaurant with an open plan, a view into the kitchen, a chalk board menu, lots of ambience and amazing food. I had the Steak frites (steak and chips in French) which were absolutely to die for, followed by an extravagant chocolate dessert. Probably my daily food budget, both calorific and monetary, in one meal, but it was definitely worth it.” — Sarah B.

The food is so so good over my expectation. The 2 and half hour lunch ( well organised timing) I had fish, venison, beef and other 2 dishes for 5 course just cost me $65 dollars, unbelievable for the service and quality of the food! I go to good restaurants every year at my birthday for a good meal compared to those Michelin restaurants the cost of a great meal in Auckland is just 1/4. Last time went to Grove was great too a bit more fency but I like Sidart now , it's fantastic. Recommend for a special occasion you won't be disappointed. Love it.” — Pearl L. “I was really excited to finally try Sidart's Tasting Menu. The waitress was great. My partner and I had the 5 course and they gave us different dishes so we could try a bit of everything. The service was impeccable and the food almost as good as the waitress. Can't wait to go there again once their menus have changed.” — Evelyn W. “Phenomenal experience and food. Our server, Katie, was both very knowledgeable and professional. She also went out of her way to ensure our experience was as good as possible. The fixed menu is rotating so there's not much use in going into details on the food -- suffice to say everything was excellent. Would definitely recommend doing at least one wine pairing for the table as it really completes the experience.” — Aaron B.

We were seated at the table right next to the pass and we were able to watch Chef Sid our whole meal. Great service and delicious food, a very pleasant experience all around. Great thing is that we happened upon this restaurant sort of by accident since it's hard to find on Yelp and did not come up in our search initially. Even better was that it was literally two blocks from our Airbnb. We ordered a la carte and were very pleased to be given four different amuse bouches to start. The service was impecable, food delicious and ambiance romantic. Great way to start a special anniversary trip!” — Betty C. “Armed with a very generous gift voucher we arrived at 'Sid at the French Cafe' to be greeted by a group of welcoming staff . Our table was in the gazebo area of the restaurant facing an internal garden court yard warmed by a fire and gas heaters. The waiting staff were amazing their polished appearance matched their attentive polished performance. We chose the four course meal after discussing portion sizes as the aim was to enjoy the food but not to excess. Each course contained the elements of taste , texture , colour freshness and in true Sid-Art style huge visual appeal. Good use was made of the on-site vegetable/ herb garden to enhance the plate. The whole experience was amazing and we could see the care , time and thought that went into every dish. Fine dining at its best. Wine selection was huge and international however we chose NZ, appropriate at this time. A place to go for a very special occasion.” —Sandra H. “I ordered their tasting menu. The snacks  are all good and I like the lettuce the most. The sauce for kingfish ceviche and butter poached crayfish is a little salty. The lamb was perfectly cool, right enough pink, juicy, yummy yummy~~” — Vivian Y. Restaurant Info * https://www.sidatthefrenchcafe.co.nz/ * 09 377 1911 * 210 Symonds St Auckland 1010 New Zealand 5.

They have a great passion in each of respective fields, are knowledgeable & observant without being overbearing or pretentious, particularly when it came to explaining the dishes coming out of the kitchen. A warm ambiance, well balanced & presented dishes & a wine list that will make you feel like a child in a candy store- everything you want. My partner who doesn't like meringue, feijoa or licorice loved her absinthe flamed dessert, assembled at the table. The chef's choice petite degustation was flavoursome, exciting, filling & accompanied by delightful amuse-bouches. Thank you for making us feel extra special on our anniversary weekend, we will definitely return.” — Te Rangi R. “Perfect place to celebrate an occasion with your loved one. The grove is more of an experience rather than a restaurant. We sat at this place for around 3.5 hours mainly due to the way they serve food here and the type of degustation we chose. We went for the the full degustation was which was 7 courses. The courses were small so we didn't feel fed up by the end of it which was good. Between each course you should expect to spend between 5-10 min for the next course which is why I'm saying it's more of an experience here rather than a restaurant. Our favorite dishes were the fish (6th course) and the steak (7th course) plus the soufflé which was one of the three desserts we got. A bit pricey but worth it if you have a special occasion” — Khaled A. “THEIR BEEF FILLET IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! Extremely tender and fresh. The service here is just excellent. We felt the pork belly is of too much fat and they quickly replace it with another off menu dish. Food here makes you feel the nature. They present you with the fundamental taste of each ingredient. Overall a very good experience. Will definitely come again.” — Yubo Z. Restaurant Info * https://thegroverestaurant.co.nz/ * 09 368 4129 * Wyndham St St. Patricks Square Auckland 1010 New Zealand 6.

La Tropezienne French Bakery - Browns Bay Food popular here * Chorizo sausage omelette * Religieuse Coffee * Palmier Let’s see how people review this restaurant “simple casual french foods made well. Their sandwiches run out the fastest... Lunchtime and there's only two flavours left. Next would be their desserts and pastries, those babies fly out the door. My favourites so far are the chocolate eclairs and basically all their sandwiches lol... their ficelle are simple ingredients but the bread makes it something else. Their chicken sandwich roll has the yummiest pesto inside and the bread for this was similar to a giant soft pretzel with rock salt on top... made the sandwich THAT much better... pretty much what im saying is, their fresh baked breads/goods are AMAZING. their Baguettes sell out fast so get in quick! That chocolate eclair though.... that chocolaty mousse like texture inside and the glorious puff pastry outside.. wow. i could eat 10 of those... i mean... that's what gym is for, right? Go earlier! like, before 11am to get all the REAL goodies that sell out super fast as these guys are ALWAYS busy no matter what time it is.” — Aimee J. “If you want to treat yourself to a good breakfast and a great coffee, then La Tropezienne French Café is the place to go on a Saturday morning. Don't let the parking lot front scare you off, once you're inside it is pure France. The smell of fresh baking fills the air, and the hot chocolate is almost mesmerizing. The pricing is not cheap, but the quality of the food is good, and after all it will be the atmosphere that will promote you to regular status. My favourite is the éclairs, but there are plenty of other desserts to choose from. What I liked about this place, was that I could bring my dog along, and we could both enjoy the sunshine outside.” — David M. “These days you can buy croissants and french sticks any old where! But it's not until you devour one from a genuine French bakery that you realize how unexceptional they are. La Tropezienne is exactly the place that makes you turn your nose up at run of the mill croissants from your average local bakery. My friends and I call it "The French Bakery" simply because we are too lazy to try and pronounce the name properly. Which is a bit sad as we all took French in high school. My first memory of La Tropezienne is actually back in my French class days. As part of our learning we were to venture to Browns Bay to experience food the way the French do it. We were also supposed to be practicing the language but who cares about that when you get to ditch school for a feed!? Anway, this started my addiction and ever since I have been nurturing my weakness for the delicious (and so fatty) pain au chocolat!! To this day that's about the only french that has stuck with me... PAIN AU CHOCOLAT.. YUM!!” — Amy M.

Food popular here * Beef bourguignon * Madeleine * Duck liver parfait Let’s see how people review this restaurant “The north of Ponsonby eventually creates a decent place to dine. Yes you will attracted by the perfect transformed "Old Ponsonby post office" into a bistro Augustus, named for the postmaster, Augustus Edward Braithwaite. And it won't be too difficult for locals to find out this new venture is a contribution from SPQR Owner Chris and his daughter Courtney Rupe to Ponsonby vividness. Entering the high-ceiling lounge, expecting yourself in a tropical resort, surrounded by greenery with a courtyard extended your dining imagination. Perfect for most of Auckland's beautiful blue sunny days. In between, you will find yourself sitting in a cream and chocolate interior dressed in white linen.  Simple, smart and classy. Menu is focused in French bistro bites, you won't be surprised by meeting escargot, king crab cocktail, crab bisque, French onion soup, steak tartare. As for the main, from fish to pork belly, from Confit duck to veal cordon bleu, what's more you can even get treated by special Beef bourguignon,  beef wellington. Yes what more can you expect? Crab bisque serves warm with  a heap of white flesh in the middle with a hint of basil taste. However, I prefer they have it served in front of customers, just adding a sense of warmness. The duck liver parfait with wine jelly is a bit average and dull, if the toasted bread could be a better quality sourdough or baguette to pair with. Bread is pale speaking of a proper bistro for Augustus. However, this is soon saved by Beef bourguignon, which is perfectly done putting time and efforts in the whole dish. Every bite is enjoyable. Soft tender beef texture, crispy pancetta, juicy shallots, all the ingredients are cooked in a beautiful balance. They nailed this classic dish. Then the yellow belly flounder is comparatively  less scored even with its crab mayonnaise dressing. The rhubarb tarte tatin and creme brulee for dessert is a perfect choice for most people. I do go for a bit old-fashioned, the humble Madeleines with lemon curd and cream. Baked to order, within 7 minutes, it came out freshly to your tastebud. Trust me, you wouldn't find a better lemon curd to match this happy ending. Deserves a second and third visit, for sure, Augustus has more to come in the pipeline.We just wish the summer would never go away.” — Angel D. “Had lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere - beautiful old building.

Here are the 9 Best Korean Food Restaurants in Vancouver we recommend! 1. Sura Korean Cuisine SURA is a Korean restaurant in Vancouver that has been providing an excellent dining experience to food connoisseurs since 2008. The restaurant has a modern interior with a traditional Korean atmosphere. The food is authentic and contemporary Korean cuisine by master chef Sang-jo Han. Food popular here * Pork Belly * Set Course Ra * Kimchi Fried Rice Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We stumbled into Sura Korean Cuisine for a Saturday lunch not knowing anything about the restaurant.  A NYC dining experience at JUA turned us on to Korean food, but we had no idea how to order.  Fortunately, the 25 Canadian dollar set lunch took ordering out of the equation, and we told the kind and welcoming servers to bring it on. Holy Gopchang!  This set lunch was amazing.  Dishes kept arriving, and kept arriving, we didn't have enough room on the table.  I was bamboozled, having no idea this was what Sura's set lunch was all about.  We had no clue what was being served, but almost everything was delicious, and I mean orgasmically delicious.  Our favorites: The fried fish, Kimchi pancake, Spicy Sliced Pork, Potato Noodle, Deep Fried Fish, Deep Fried Sweet and Sour Pork, and Soy Bean Paste Soup.  My least favorite was the Pork Belly, but that's my personal taste.   Each server was infinitely patient with my multitude of questions. and I was overly excited about the food.  I had a wonderful time, and I loved the food.  Sura Korean Cuisine was a memorable dining experience."—Phil G. "Love it here. Came up to Vancouver for the day with a couple friends and this was our first stop. We ordered lots of little things, not to mention all the banchan, and our table was very eclectic. Cool decor on the inside and great for groups!"—Bennett S. ''Food was very delicious. Portions are good too, four dishes was just the right amount for five people. The meat was very tender, falls off the bone very easily, slightly sweet. Seafood pancake had the right amount of crunch. Bossam wrap had well seasoned pork belly.'—Pauline S.

Food popular here * Rice Bowl * Foie Gras * Korean Rice Cake Let’s see how people review this restaurant "This cute, hip place has my favorite cocktail of anywhere. Try the one eyed samurai and you will be forever changed. So delicious! Every time I visit Vancouver I hit up this place for this drink. It's always an enjoyable time to sit at the bar and sip on this watermelon flavored masterpiece. (And yes, you do have to go through a sketchy area to get there, but it's worth it.)"—Autumn M. "Frightening location. Amazing, fun, creative food that is designed with love and imagination. Here are the pro tips: 1) order the tasting menu 2) on a weeknight 3) at the very start of service (around 5 pm). 4) Sit at the kitchen window booth. We did this and got served by the restaurateur himself. He provided us amazing commentary on each course and it's wine pairing, including the personal stories of the vintners and their wineries. Expect unique, sometimes challenging dishes. That's the fun of it! This is a culinary adventure, not Tim Horton's. Disregard the obtuse, buffoonish negative reviews ( Crystal G.), PiDGiN is the real deal."—Ian K. "Amazing service, delicious cocktails, and incredible food. If you're visiting Vancouver, do yourself a favor: make a reservation here and do the tasting menu. The lamb sirloin was unbelievably good!"—Johnny M.

Food popular here * Spicy Pork Bulgogi * Short Rib Galbi * Beef Bulgogi Let’s see how people review this restaurant "My family and I loved this place so much we came here two nights in a row! We ordered the ox bone soup (both days), seafood pancake, tang suyuk, and the bossam. You get very decent portion sizes (especially the seafood pancake - it's huge and can easily feed 4 people) for the price. Their bossam is seasoned super well and is tender too. I came around 7pm both days and didn't have to wait too long (at most 10 minutes). It is pretty small and cozy inside so if you have a large party, so expect to wait a bit more. I'd definitely come back again, especially for their bossam! They also accept credit card here!"—Liona L. "Their portions are huge! The sundubu has a lot of tofu in their -- very generous! A lot of mushrooms on the vegetable soup as well. It cones with rice. I love their banchan too! When we were there they had the potatoes (in sweet sauce), kimchi, seaweed, and fish cake  they have freeflow barley tea."—Esther Y. "Seriously great place for lunch. Their food is delicious with decent portion size and variety of options on the menu that includes nice soupy options fitting for the cold weather. Covid measures wise, we had to leave our name/number at the front, vaccine passports checked, plastic hanging barriers between tables, QR code scan for menu, and servers masked up. Food wise, I got the Lunch Set Pork Bulgogi - Little Spicy and it was just enough spicy for me!  (I've tried Medium before and it was too much for me.)  The pork had good, strong flavors. The rice cakes was a good contrast on this dish to counter all the spice. I'm craving it again as I write this. As usual, it came with 4 complimentary refillable side dishes that were also delicious. My friend got the Duk Mandu Guk which came in a giant bowl filled with gyozas that she said was good but the beef broth was a bit underseasoned, but maybe intended that way. They have an online menu you can order take out directly from them too and choose your pickup time."—Mandy T.

Food popular here * Bulgogi Burrito * Spicy Rice Cake * Fried Chicken Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Food- delicious korean Mexican fusion, with variety of options. *Bulgogi burrito- good meal size. Looks small but heavy. Comes with a few chips, though were a tad stale. i would get this again. *3 tacos (shrimp, bulgogi and Kalbi) - prefer Bulgogi, meat soft and tender. Shrimp was lightly fried, slightly a little watery, but overall good,  Kalbi tasted similar to Bulgogi, but the meat was chewier. * rice cakes on the sticks- one soy, and one spicy. I can live without these carbs. If I can handle spicy, I prefer that one, slightly more flavor. Service- fair, nice. Ambiance - handful of seats, inside and outside. Though outside (Early April) was pretty cold and dirty at the time. Locations next to Chinatown train station, directly across from Rogers arena, facing Expo Blvd. Super easy by foot if you're in downtown. Less than a minute walk to Costco, so consider eating here with next Chinatown Costco trip! Value- fair! Recommend- YES!"—Helene L. "New to Korean fusion but I am a big fan of burritos. Tacofino has been a lunch time favorite of mine, but I wanted to try something new. Visited TAKO for the first time today intending to try the Bulgogi Burrito.  I ended up trying BBQ Short Rib Burrito on recommendation of the person serving me. I was very impressed! The BBQ Short Rib Burrito was big on taste and filling. I will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings."—Christian C. "Have seen a few stores that have done the Korean/Mexican fusion idea, but none in Vancouver that execute as well as TAKO. Nestled right by the south western entrance of Stadium Chinatown Skytrain Station, this place is great option for takeout on the way over to a meeting or on the way home. The bulgogi burrito is a nice balance of all the delicious Korean meats in flavours packed into a burrito (everything from kimchi, corn, lettuce, cheese + the meat of your choice). For $12 they are packing a lot into this meal and I was pretty content after one of these burritos I got to-go. Happy hour is 2-5pm from Monday to Friday, so if you're curious, you can try them out between these hours. They need to definitely think about adding kimchi fries for a perfect combo! Overall, great place for takeout due to close proximity to the Skytrain. Can't comment on the indoor dining experience but can say it's very convenient to pack while commuting -- no utensils required!"—Justin K.

The fried chicken was good and comes with fried rice cakes (which was actually my favourite part, more than the chicken!). The only thing missing are the amount of side dishes. They could have served them right at the beginning. But I get the side dishes only comes with the combo sets, which we got the Salisbury steak and pork. The combos also come with rice as well. Overall, not a bad spot for Korean bistro fair. I would go back again."—Bill L. "It was a great night with very delicious food,  warm and friendly staff and good prices.  We ordered 3 dishes. Big portions!   thank you"—Banafshe A. "You can't tell from the outside, but on the inside the place is gigantic. On the immediate left is a smaller more cozy dining area. Further in is a much larger and open dining area perfect for large parties and celebrations. Service was polite but not too efficient. Several times we were trying to flag down our server but had difficulty finding him. The food was tasty! piping hot and full of flavour. We will definitely return here!"—Allison K.

We were promptly seated and our server was polite and diligent. We ordered the combo for two and quickly had a plethora of sides brought to our table. Shortly after the meat was brought out and our server was laying it on the grill. A number of servers watched over us and helped us know when something on the grill was ready and got the next course started. The whole process was efficient. The sides were divers and delicious. The meat was flavourful and perfectly cooked thanks to the help of the wait staff. I definitely will be returning."—Adam S. "Love how they give 15 banchan (side dishes) when you order from their BBQ menu. Enjoyed the variety since most places only offer two or three (plus, they were refillable). We ordered the bbq combo so it came with the banchan and doenjang jjigae. We were beyond stuffed by the end of our meal. Service was also amazing because their staff was very attentive. Highly recommend you make a reservation if you come here because they can get really busy."—Nina T. "Loved it here. Incredible food and service. Our waiter was on top of all our needs (ie. replenishing the side dishes and changing the grill when it was getting too burnt). Price point was great for what you get and my whole family was stuffed and even had leftovers! This place is always busy and has line ups. Definitely the place to go if you're craving Korean BBQ!

The korean fried chicken wrap was delicious too."—Wilson L. "Before moving to Vancouver, I had heard so much about this place that I honestly wondered if the place can live UpTo the expectations and the buildup - it does and more. Their portions are amazing. I am not a tofu person but their Tofu rice bowl is finger licking good. There is not just rice but also edamame beans, pickled cabbage, greens and corn in it. I had also ordered their friend chicken and even that was delicious and super crispy. I would absolutely recommend checking out this place's tofu rice bowl if you are even in Vancouver"—Neha R. "Oh man! Some of the best karaage I've had in a long tome. Vancouver is well known for its Asian street food and cuisine and this is one of the places to go for just that.

"A bit of a wait (you have to scan their QR code to get onto the waitlist) but luckily there's the Candy Room nearby and some benches to pass the time! We were seated about 45 mins after. We ordered the pork belly BBQ and the dakbal. Both were delicious and the portion size was more than enough for 2! The dakbal was spicy but we kept going back for more. The staff were super friendly and didn't seem too frazzled even though the restaurant was insanely busy. Will definitely be back but will be more prepared for the wait."—Tram V. "We went on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait for a party of 3 people. We order the pork feet and bossam set and the mushroom bulgogi hotpot. The pork feet was pretty spicy since we don't have good spice tolerance but it was really tasty. The bossam was alright, I think I liked the flavor and the texture of the pork feet more since it was softer and more flavorful. The hotpot was my favorite part of the food we ordered. The broth was light but had a lot of flavor. I added some rice into a bowl of broth and it was delicious. The meat and the mushrooms were also pretty good. We definitely got too much for a group of 3 people though so I think this would have been better for a group of four or maybe just get the hotpot for the group of 3 and something else. The price was really good for the amount of food we received. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving Korean food."—Alan Z.

I ordered a side of salmon and avocado to put on my toast. Everything was super fresh.The French toast was naturally sweeten. So happy we chose this restaurant instead of the others around the area for breakfast. They no longer have the coconut smoothie.” — Melanie A. “Lots of ambiance, super cute inside. We went for breakfast twice during our stay because the food was so good. The French toast is to DIE for, as was the potato hash with kale and eggs. Make pretty good coffee and drinks as well, and the deconstructed teas on the menu looked quite fun. We're excited to stop by the takeaway counter later for cakes and pastries.” — Bri P. “It helps to have a waitstaff who can give you recommendations. We had some wonderful food: grilled cuttlefish (very and perfectly spicy), a surprising and wonderful salad, the venison shoulder pappardelle, and then - a mediocre salted caramel dessert that we were honest about. So we were brought a much better cheesecake to make up for it ("I prefer this," he let us know) , and a lovely cappuccino. All of this for a very reasonable price and a splendid ambience.(And some unrequested advice: folks, put down your phones and talk to the person at the table with you. They're much more interesting than watching your little TV screen.)” — Dan S.

The Museums Named after People

The Museums Named after People

Museums that began in earlier times were usually private collections belonging to wealthy individuals, families, or institutions of art. It's common to see museums named after ruler of kingdoms or noble families due to the ownerships. As the times changes, the dynasties are gone, to name a museum after the title of family or a country ruler is not usual as it was. But we can still see some of the musuems named after people, let's read the article and figure it out why. 1. N's Yard N’s YARD was created because Yoshitomo Nara wanted a place in Japan where people could see his work in a more casual setting. The contemporary art space showcases not only his work, but alsorecord sleeves and art objects that Nara has collected over the years. He chose the location in Nasu because he was impressed by the natural environment and scenery. N’s YARD had an advance opening in November of 2017 and officially opened in March of 2018. 2. J. Paul Getty Museum The J. Paul Getty Museum, commonly referred to as the Getty, is an art museum with two campuses: the Getty Center and Getty Villa. The Getty Center, which houses pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, decorative arts, and photographs, is located in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The Getty Villa, which displays art from Ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria, is located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. In 1974, J. Paul Getty opened a museum in a re-creation of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum on his property in Malibu, California. In 1997, the museum moved to its current location in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles; the Malibu museum, renamed the "Getty Villa", was renovated and reopened in 2006. 3. Victoria and Albert Museum The Victoria and Albert Museum was founded in 1852 with the mission to educate designers, manufacturers and the public in art and design. Its origins lie in the Great Exhibition of 1851, which was the world's first international display of design and manufacturing. Following the Exhibition, Prince Albert saw the need to maintain and improve the standards of British industry to compete in the international marketplace, and he urged that the profits of the Exhibition be used to develop a cultural district of museums and colleges in South Kensington devoted to art and science education. The Museum was the first of these institutions, and it was renamed after Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, commemorating his role in its establishment. The V&A has a long and unique history, starting as a Museum of Manufactures in 1852 and evolving over time into the state-of-the-art museum it is today. From ancient Chinese ceramics to Alexander McQueen evening dresses, museum's collections span 5,000 years of human creativity, making it one of the most comprehensive collections of art and design in the world. 4. National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci who was active as painter, draughtsman, sculptor, but also an engineer, sciencist, theorist, and architect, is considered to be one of the main representatives of the dialogue between scientific and humanistic disciplines. The museum is dedicated to Leonardo Da Vinci is the largest science and technology museum in Italy. It was opened on 5 February 1953 and inaugurated by Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi. The Museum is divided into seven main departments: Materials, Transport, Energy, Communication, Leonardo da Vinci, Art & Science, New Frontiers, Science for young people. Each of these departments have laboratories, especially for children and young students. The Transport section is made up of four different parts: air, rail, water and Submarine Enrico Toti-S-506. 5. Van Gogh Museum The museum traces Van Gogh's lengendary life and artistic development via the world's largest collection of his work. There are more than 200 canvases on display, ranging from his early, bleak portraits of peasants in the Netherlands to his later years in sunny France, where he produced his best-known work with its characteristic giddy color.

The Oldest Museums around the World

The Oldest Museums around the World

Museums have been around for a very long time, but when did it first appear? The oldest museum in the world is thought to be the Museion in Alexandria, Egypt, which was founded in the 3rd century BC. The Museion was a place where scholars came to study and learn about art, science, and literature. But some believes the world's oldest museum, Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum, was built by a Babylonian princess 2,500 years ago which discovered by the curious archaeologist Leonard Woolley in 1952. Human's past is always unanswerable question no matter what, so let's stop the tanglement with the first museum, but look at some of the oldest museums around the world. The Capitoline Museums began in 1471 in Rome, Italy; the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, which was founded in the 16th century; the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, which started to operate in the 17th century, these museums are still open to the public and are very popular tourist destinations. 1. Ashmolean Museum The Ashmolean Museum, located in Oxford, England first opened to the public in 1683, making it the oldest public museum in the world. Today, the Ashmolean houses an extensive collection of artefacts from around the world, spanning a wide range of periods and cultures. The museum is particularly well-known for its Egyptian, Classical, and Western art collections.The Ashmolean Museum is named after its founder, Elias Ashmole, who bequeathed his personal collection of artefacts to the University of Oxford in 1677. Ashmole was a keen collector of antiquities and his collection included items from all over the world. The museum is now housed in a stunning neo-classical building, which overlooks Oxford's famous High Street. The museum's collections are displayed across nine galleries, which tell the story of human culture from its earliest beginnings to the present day. 2.  Capitoline Museums The Capitoline Museums are a group of art and archeological museums located on Capitoline Hill, the most important of the seven hills of Rome. The museums first opened to the public in 1734 and today they are considered to be among the finest museums in the world. The museums are home to an impressive collection of Roman and Greek art, as well as a wealth of artifacts from other cultures. The Capitoline Museums are housed in a complex of buildings that includes the Palazzo dei Conservatori, the Palazzo Nuovo, and the Palazzo Senatorio. The Palazzo dei Conservatori is the oldest building in the complex and it houses the museums' main art collection. The Palazzo Nuovo is home to the museums' classical sculpture collection, while the Palazzo Senatorio houses the museums' archaeological collection. In addition to the museums' permanent collections, the Capitoline Museums also host a number of temporary exhibitions throughout the year. These exhibitions showcase the work of both contemporary and historical artists and provide visitors with a chance to see some of the world's most important works of art up close. 3. Vatican Museums The Vatican Museums is a group of museums in Rome that date back to 1471 which located within the city's boundaries. They display works from the immense collection built up by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries, including some of the most renowned classical sculptures and masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. The museums trace their origin to a group of sculptures, including the Laocoön and His Sons, discovered in 1506 near the site of St. Peter's Basilica. Pope Julius II soon ordered the erection of a museum to house these treasures. The first six rooms of the museum were opened to the public in 1784 and the museum currently has a wide variety of archaeological material on display. 4. Uffizi Galleries The Uffizi Galleries are one of the oldest and most famous art museums in the world. Located in Florence, they are also home to a large collection of art from the Italian Renaissance. The Uffizi Galleries were founded in 1581 by Cosimo I de' Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. They were originally built to house the offices of the Florentine magistrates (uffizi means "offices" in Italian). Over time, the Medici family expanded the Uffizi's collection of art with works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. 5. Kunstkamera The Kunstkamera is the first museum in Russia that was established by Peter the Great in 1727. It is located on the Universitetskaya Embankment in Saint Petersburg and houses the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography. The Kunstkamera was established in order to study the natural and human world. It contains a wide variety of items, including human remains, animals, plants, minerals, and ethnographic objects. The museum is a unique cultural institution that provides insight into the history and development of Russia. 6. Brukenthal National Museum The Brukenthal National Museum  is located in a historic building in the old city centre of Sibiu, Romania. It was established in 1817 by Samuel von Brukenthal, the Governor of the Transylvanian Principality. It is the oldest museum in Romania and one of the first museums in Europe. While the Brukenthal National Museum houses a collection of over 800,000 items, including paintings, sculptures, coins, books, and ancient weapons.

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more We're currently seeing high levels of #COVID19 in NYC. To help slow the spread, all New Yorkers should wear a high-quality mask, such as an N95, KN95 or KF94 in all public indoor settings and around crowds outside: https://t.co/shJeMOKfFE pic.twitter.com/8aByVVy5Wr — City of New York (@nycgov) July 10, 2022 Welcome to the Big Apple! New York City is a place like no other. It's a melting pot of cultures and a hub of activity 24/7. There's always something to see, do, or eat in NYC, whether it's a Broadway show, a street fair, or just people watching in Times Square. So no matter you're a night owl or an early bird, you'll find plenty to keep you busy in the city that never sleeps! Whether you're looking for high-end shopping, world-renowned museums, or just a good slice of pizza, you'll find it all here. And don't forget to check out the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty. But the NYC also has its hiden spots the even some of the New Yorkers may not know...So let's start the journey! Everyone knows... •  Empire State Building The Empire State Building remains the queen bee of the New York skyline, despite the Chrysler Building's prettier exterior and One World Trade Center's taller height. The Empire State Building has been featured in around a hundred films and countless skyline snapshots. It is a quintessential part of New York, having been scaled by King Kong and drawn lovers together in films like Sleepless in Seattle. The Empire State Building is recognizable to Manhattanites and visitors from all over the world and is synonymous with the Big Apple itself. But some of you may also want to know... •  Grand Central Terminal Grand Central Terminal, completed in 1913, is one of New York's most venerated beaux-arts beauties. It is adorned with Tennessee-marble floors and Italian-marble ticket counters, and its main concourse is capped by a vaulted ceiling depicting the constellations, designed by French painter Paul César Helleu. Today, Grand Central's underground electric tracks serve only commuter trains en route to northern suburbs and Connecticut, but the station merits a special trip for the architecture alone. Everyone knows... •  Brooklyn Bridge The New York icon is the world’s first steel suspension bridge. It is also the longest suspension bridge when it opened in 1883. The construction of Brooklyn Bridge was fraught with disaster, but the bridge's neo-Gothic towers have endured as city emblems. Crossing the bridge is a exhilarating journey with numerous photo-ops. The suspended bicycle/pedestrian walkway delivers soul-stirring views of Manhattan, the East River and the waterfront. But some of you may also want to know... •  Old Stone House The Stone House is a community focal point and museum that was reconstructed by the famous urban planner Robert Moses. A replica of a 1699 Dutch farmhouse, it houses a permanent exhibit explaining the Battle of Long Island, including period clothes and weapons, with rotating exhibitions in the creaky upstairs. Concerts and other cultural events (author talks, tastings) are held regularly. There's a playground for kids and a community garden outside. If you happen to pass by outside of the posted visiting hours, give them a call. If someone's inside they'll usually be happy to let you in. Everyone knows... •  Statue of Liberty Lady Liberty is one of New York City's most enduring symbols. First conceived in 1865 by French intellectual Édouard de Laboulaye as a monument to the republican principles shared by France and the USA, the Statue of Liberty remains a powerful symbol of America’s founding ideals. For generations, migrants to America cruised past the statue on their way into New York harbour, and knew they had arrived in the land of freedom and opportunity. But some of you may also want to know... •  Stone Street Stone Street is a street in the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. It contains several prominent structures, including 1 Hanover Square, a National Historic Landmark. The eastern portion of the street and the surrounding buildings are designated as the Stone Street Historic District, which is both listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. In addition, the remaining portions of the street are part of the Financial District's street layout, a city landmark. Everyone knows... •  Metropolitan Museum of Art The Metropolitan Museum of Art, affectionately known as "The Met," is one of the most beloved corners of New York City. What started with a handful of paintings brought over from Europe or donated by a coterie of philanthropically minded robber barons in the 19th century has since become a massive collection of two million works of art representing 5000 years of history. The Met was founded 151 years ago with the intention of educating and edifying a teaming city of immigrants, and underscore the uniquely global culture of 19th century New York City. Whether that stated purpose has been meet by modern, post-colonial standards is up for debate in recent years – a conversation many museums are reckoning with worldwide. But some of you may also want to know... •  Andrew Carnegie Mansion The Andrew Carnegie Mansion, now home to the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, was originally completed in 1902 and reached landmark status in 1974. The mansion has undergone much change over the years, and the grounds now feature an expansive garden and cafe for visitors to enjoy. Everyone knows... •  Central Park Comprising 843 acres of rolling meadows, boulder-studded outcroppings, elm-lined walkways, manicured European-style gardens, a lake and a reservoir, Central Park is a must-see for any visitor to New York City. Highlights include the 15-acre Sheep Meadow, where thousands of people lounge and play on warm days; Central Park Zoo; and the forest-like paths of the Ramble, popular with birdwatchers. In warm weather there are free outdoor concerts on the Great Lawn and top-notch drama at the annual Shakespeare in the Park productions held each summer at the open-air Delacorte Theater. But some of you may also want to know... •  Secret Waterfalls In Central Park, there is a hidden oasis of mini-waterfalls that many New Yorkers don't know about. These waterfalls are located in the Ravine, the stream valley section of the North Woods that spans 40 acres at the top of the Park. There are at least five different waterfalls, all of which are man-made but look completely natural. When you're in this oasis, you won't feel like you're in Manhattan anymore!

It should be Pronounced as "WAH-HAH-KAH" ! 💀: Oaxaca, Mexico

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more ¡Qué bella es Cholula y para muestra el Santuario de la Virgen de los Remedios 💫! Esta iglesia, todo un tesoro arquitectónico, es considerada la más grande de este Pueblo Mágico, ¿lo sabías?#VisitMéxico #Cholula #Puebla pic.twitter.com/n9guCwQjnm — Visit México (@VisitMex) August 15, 2022 Oaxaca(wah-hah-kah) is a state in Mexico that is home to a rich culture, art scene, diverse natural landscape, and delicious cuisine. The state capital, Oaxaca city, is a beautiful and fascinating place, and there are many interesting things to see and do in the surrounding area. From hiking and horseback riding in the Sierra Norte to surfing and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, there is always something suits you well in Oaxaca. But first, start your day archaeologically! 1. Monte Albán Ruins The ancient city of Monte Albán was once the second-largest ceremonial site in Mesoamerica. Today, it is an ruins, but it still boasts an impressive Gran Plaza, ancient ball court, excavated tombs, and astronomical 'observatory'. The site is also home to the mysterious danzantes, carved stone figures thought to depict dead or tortured prisoners of war. 2. Zona Arqueológica de Mitla The ancient ruins of Mitla were once the second-most important Zapotec religious center. The site is home to a number of impressive buildings, including a cult center where high priests performed human sacrifices. The ancient buildings at the site of Mitla were probably reserved for specific occupants, such as the high priest or the king. Today, visitors can see the Grupo de las Columnas (Group of the Columns) and the Grupo del Norte (North Group), both of which are located near the Iglesia de San Pablo. 3. Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca No more archaeological sites visit! But still curious about the culture of Oaxaca? The Museum of Oaxacan Cultures is one of Mexico's best regional museums. Located in the beautiful monastery buildings adjoining the Templo de Santo Domingo, the museum offers rich displays that take visitors through the history and cultures of Oaxaca state. The museum emphasizes the continuity between pre-Hispanic and contemporary cultures in areas such as crafts, medicine and food. 4. Templo de Santo Domingo Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures. The 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario (Rosary Chapel) is particularly beautiful, and the whole church takes on a magical atmosphere during candlelit evening Mass. No rush, take a small break with artisan pastries and continue your journey. 5. Boulenc Pan Artesano The best bakery in Oaxaca also has a trendy cafe next door, not that surprised but their most popular dish is avocado toast. The cafe has excellent coffee and cakes, and is located in a patio with terrace seating upstairs. 6. Zócalo The Zócalo is the central square in Oaxaca city, and it is a great place to people-watch. The square is surrounded by portales (arcades) and is shaded by tall trees. The adjoining Alameda plaza is also a great place for people-watching, with its trinket-toting vendors, street performers and informal clothes market. By day and night, the square is bustling with life, as marimba ensembles, brass bands and roving buskers float their melodies among the crowds, hawkers try to offload pretty carpets and hideous balloons, and lovers parade in slow rounds under the trees. Give your legs a rest after wandering in the parade, don't just passed by this swanky tasting room. 7. Mezcaloteca This is the best place in the city to visit if you want to learn about mezcal. The staff here can teach you about how mezcal is made, and you will get a crash course in how to taste it and what to look for in a quality product. Call ahead to book a tasting session, and come prepared to ask questions.The hosts will offer you a selection from the house brands based on your tastes. They work with small-batch producers to create a number of unique, blended, wild-crafted and aged mezcals that can't be found anywhere else. And it comes to the time for surfing and swimming in Pacific Ocean. 8. Punta Cometa Punta Conejo is a rocky cape located at the west end of Mazunte beach. It is a great place to hike at sunset, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. To get to the cape, take the lane toward Playa Mermejita off Calle Rinconcito, and go left up the track immediately after the cemetery. You will reach the community nature reserve entrance after 250m. From there, you can take the path leading down to the right or the central path to get to the Punta. 9. Playa Zipolite Zipolite's beach is a great place to relax and soak up the sun and it's famous for its nudity. People of all ages and genders can be found sunbathing, swimming, or walking around without clothes, which is the most iconic scene of the beach. Exhausted from the sunbathing? You got a outstanding dining option here. 10. La Providencia The restaurant combines exquisite flavors, artful presentation, and a relaxed ambience. You can sip a cocktail in the open-air lounge while you peruse the menu. The contemporary Mexican cuisine is sure to please, with options like amaranth-encrusted aubergine, beef medallions with red-wine reduction, and coconut-crusted prawns with mango sauce. And pro tips... save room for their chocolate mousse! No music? No music! But this Oaxaca! 11. Mar & Wana Look no further than Mar & Wana if you're looking for a unique and fun night out! This sand-floor garden hosts live bands and DJs, and has an on-site food court with gourmet burgers, tacos, and Asian fare. Grab a mezcal or cocktail and check out the cool (somewhat hidden) hangout spots up on the rocks. You're sure to have a night to remember at Mar & Wana! Last but not least... 12. Guelaguetza Show The Guelaguetza is an annual indigenous cultural event in Mexico that features traditional costumed dancing by gender-separated groups. It includes parades of indigenous walking bands, native food, and statewide artisanal crafts, such as pre-Hispanic style textiles. The event takes place in the city of Oaxaca and nearby villages. If you're interested in seeing this traditional Mexican dance, the best place to go is the Quinta Real hotel. The hotel hosts a highly colorful three-hour show on Monday evenings, featuring regional dances from across Mexico, as well as an impressive display of traditional Oaxacan costumes. Oaxaca is a truly magical place that should not be missed yet an unforgettable destination for travelers from all over the world.

The beautiful country is rich with culture and a long history. It is home to some of the world's most famous art, architecture, food, and wine. With so much to see and do, visitors will never be bored. From city life to stunning beaches, there is something for everyone in Italy. If you are planning a trip to Italy, here is some helpful information: Italy is a large country with many different places to visit. You can travel around the country by train, bus, or car. There are also many flights available between the different cities. When deciding where to go, consider what type of activities you are interested in. But if you have a limited amount of time to spend in Italy, it is best to focus on the three most popular destinations: Rome, Florence and Venice. Best things to do in Rome: To really see Rome, you should plan to spend at least two or three days there. This will give you enough time to see the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Palatino, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Vatican Museums. You can also visit the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, and do some shopping and people watching. 1. The Colosseum The Colosseum, in particular, is an impressive sight, having been built nearly 2000 years ago. This 50,000 seat amphitheater was once used to host gladiator fights and other spectacles for frenzied crowds. Seeing it in person is an experience that cannot be adequately conveyed through photos alone. The Colosseum continues to be one of the most popular tourist attractions in Rome because it so vividly symbolizes the power and drama of ancient Rome. 2. Trevi Fountain A stop at Rome's largest and most famous water feature, the flashy Trevi Fountain, is a traditional rite of passage for visitors. Every day crowds gather to toss coins into the fountain's water to ensure that one day they'll return to the Eternal City. The fountain, designed by Nicola Salvi in the 18th century, is a gloriously over-the-top rococo affair depicting wild horses, mythical figures and cascading rock falls. It's an unforgettable sight any time of the day but is particularly spellbinding after dark when it's all lit up. Best things to do in Florence: Florence is home to some of the most incredible art in the world, and just a couple days in the city allows you to see some of the best of it. The Uffizi Gallery, the frescoes in the Duomo, and the Galleria dell'Accademia are all must-sees. You can also do some shopping on the chic Via de' Tornabuoni and enjoy a pre-dinner drink or two in the Piazza della Signoria. 1. The Uffizi Gallery The Uffizi Galleries is showcasing some of its artworks in a new project called Uffizi Diffusi, which will see the pieces travel to various locations across Tuscany that have a connection to the piece or the museum. This is a great opportunity to see some of the gallery's treasures that are usually in storage, and to learn more about the pieces and their context. 2. Pisa While the Leaning Tower of Pisa is the primary reason most people visit the city, many find the Piazza dei Miracoli madness to be overwhelming and simply want to leave. It's recommended that you save your visit to the tower and square for the end of the day, and instead explore Pisa's other charms. Stroll along the Arno river, over its bridges and through the medieval heart of the city. Once you've fallen in love with these parts of Pisa, then you can head for the tower. Best things to do in Venice: Venice is a unique and beautiful city that is best enjoyed by spending a few days there. You can travel down the Grand Canal by gondola or water bus, tour the Palazzo Ducale, see the Basilica di San Marco, and take lots of pictures of the amazing Venetian architecture. You can also shop at the Rialto Market, try some cicchetti (Venetian tapas), and get a little bit lost in the city with its 400 bridges and 150 canals. 1. Palazzo Ducale The Palazzo Ducale is the official residence of the doge of Venice and is a beautiful Gothic building located on the waterfront. It has grand rooms of state, the doge's private apartments, and a complex of council chambers, courts, and prisons. The most impressive parts of the palace are at the top, including the Sala delle Quattro Porte (Hall of the Four Doors) with its lavish display of Venice's virtues by Giovanni Cambi, Titian, and Tiepolo. 2. Venice's neighborhoods Venice is divided into six neighborhoods, known as sestieri. This division dates back to when the Romans arrived in the Lagoon and established a castrum there. The Venetian street number system reflects this division, with each sestiere having its own numeration. So here are some of them: i. San Marco ☞ Best neighborhood for feeling at the center of the Lagoon San Marco is a great place to be if you want to be surrounded by centuries-old buildings and luxury, as well as people. It's probably the most famous area of an already famous city. It's also an excellent choice if you want to avoid public transport and use your legs as much as you can, since all the major sights are within walking distance. ii. San Polo ☞ Best neighborhood for straddling two worlds San Polo is a great place to be if you want to enjoy the landmarks on both sides of the Canal Grande, as well as above it.  If you're looking to live the gourmand life, you can't miss the Rialto market, which is divided into fruits and vegetables and fresh seafood. And if you're looking for a good pre-dinner aperitivo, San Polo is the place to be.

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

Before you leave, you might all kinds of romantic imagination about Europe... However, after you arrive in Europe and live there for a period of time, you will find that living here is a bit different from what you had imagined. Of course, Europe has its lovely places, but at the same time, there are some aspects that are very different from our way of life or habits, so it is hard to adapt to them at once. The following will share the daily life in Europe from accommodation, food, walking and leisure, so that you can understand and adapt to the European culture. Accommodation 1. Indoor Heating in Winter Winter in Europe is really cold, so most hotels and hostels are equipped with heaters, some even have floor heaters, which is very thoughtful. However, you should be careful to take out the food that will melt in the suitcase when it gets hot, otherwise your suitcase and food are likely to be scrapped. I didn't know that the floor in the hotel was heated, and that night I had chocolates in my suitcase and laid it flat on the floor. The next day, the whole row of chocolates melted, which was a painful lesson. Therefore, when you go to Europe in winter, you should pay attention to the location of indoor heating equipment and move things that are easy to melt away from the heated area or put them directly into the refrigerator. 2. The shower room is a bit narrow The showers in some European accommodations are small, especially in countries with higher prices. The narrow space can barely accommodate one person, and even turning around is not an option, plus you will bump into the surroundings if you don't move. If you want to take a more comfortable bath, remember to look at the photos of the restrooms and guest reviews when booking your stay. 3. Accommodation does not always have a lift Usually when you go to Europe, you will bring a big suitcase to put your clothes for a week or longer trips. If you choose a small hotel or hostel, it is very likely that there is only a staircase. If the hotel you stayed at only had wooden stairs, most likely you will need to pull your suitcase through, and it would make a squeaking sound. It’s so loud you might even worry that the stairs would collapse while you were trying to carry your luggage upstairs. The whole trip to Europe was to repeatedly move your luggage up and down the stairs, and you will become very strong afterwards. Diet 4. Tap Water is Drinkable In most European countries, tap water is not boiled and can be consumed directly. In addition to drinking water from the tap at home, local people also drink water from street water fountains or fountains. Since everyone's stomach and intestines are different, you have to judge your own risk before drinking. Of all the countries, Swiss tap water seems to be the best because it is the easiest to drink and does not have a bitter taste. 5. Restaurant water is not always free When you order from a foreign restaurant, the waiter will always ask if you want water. You'll think they're asking for free water, so you'll ask for it. As a result, when you get to pay, you'll see the bill for 3 euros for a glass of water. This will be the most expensive water you've ever had, and it's tap water. If you don't want to order such expensive water, remember to ask the waiter cheekily if it's free. Because some restaurants charge for water, the average cup is 1-3 euros. 6. Uneven streets When you first walk down the streets of Europe, you will see that the ground is made up of bricks of different sizes and heights, which is very European. This is very different from the concrete streets in many countries. However, when you carry your suitcase, it will ruin the romantic European style and you will miss our flat concrete road. Especially when you are in a hurry, it is very difficult to drag your luggage on the uneven streets. It is recommended that you bring a suitcase of 26 inches or less to Europe, otherwise you will not be able to walk. 7. Train doors requires a button to open You might be used to the subway doors opening automatically, but some of the subways or trains in Europe do not open automatically. Usually there is a button or a hand button on the side of the door, and you have to press the button to open it. I guess the reason is to keep the temperature of the train compartment moderate, because it is very cold in winter and a cold wind will blow when you open the door. In addition, not all passengers get off at every stop, so the doors are opened only when passengers need them, which reduces the number of times the cold wind blows into the car. But the first time you go there, you won't know you have to press the button and almost won't be able to get off the train. Leisure 8. Shops close very early European life has always given people a very leisurely and relaxed feeling, because they mostly focus on work life balance, so most stores close early. Europe is divided into summer and winter time, winter they will be earlier, may be about 4 o'clock after work. On Sundays and holidays, they don't even open. Most of the stores in the mall were not open on Christmas Day. This is very different from our 24-hour convenience stores and supermarkets that are open all year round. When going to some remote areas, it is best to stock up on food first, as supermarkets in Europe may be closed on Sundays. 9. Museums have checkrooms Most museums in Europe have cloak rooms where visitors can put down their backpacks and heavy clothing. Some even make it mandatory for visitors to put their luggage and hats in the cloak room before they can enter, probably because they are afraid of bringing too much stuff to damage the exhibits. In addition to museums, opera houses also make it mandatory for visitors to put their belongings in the cloakroom. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive 15 minutes earlier to watch a large exhibition or opera to reserve time to queue up for the cloakroom for personal belongings. Others 10. Pay to go to the restroom You never know when you'll have to pay to use the restroom. In some public places in Europe, or even some restaurants, you might have to pay to use the facilities. There are usually staff or gates at the entrance of the restrooms, so you can pay cash or get in with a restaurant receipt. It's always a good idea to bring change with you, just in case. If you want to save money, try to go to places like the museum or restaurant, where you won't have to pay extra. 11. Bring your own lock There are usually three situations where you need a lock. First, when you put your luggage on the luggage rack on the train, it is best to use a lock to secure your luggage to the rack to prevent others from taking it by mistake or stealing it. Secondly, when you put your luggage in the locker in a hostel, you should lock it with a lock. Because hostels may not necessarily provide locks for free, so bring your own without spending extra money to buy with the hostel. Third, when storing your luggage in the mini storage, you need to buy another lock to lock the door, so you don't have to pay for it. Hope the above 11 things to take note for European trips can make your trip to Europe easier!
