Astride the River Clyde in the western Lowlands, Scotland’s largest city (pop. 1.75 million/greater metro area 2.2 million) is also, in the estimation of many, its most exciting, the grand neoclassical architecture of the past is joined by 21st-century starchitecture (the 2006 Clyde Arc, aka, both now a backdrop to a renaissance that’s been booming since the 1980s in the arts, design, culture, shopping scene, and other areas. And summer is when locals and visitors alike enjoy this heady mix of
Since it opened in the fall of 1997, the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao, a gleaming curvilinear ship of titanium, limestone and glass, has drawn a steady flow of tourists to this Basque seaport on the northern coast of Spain. But among the throngs of visitors we encountered was an American whose journey had nothing to do with Frank Gehry’s futuristic design that thrusts into the Nervion River. Joaquin Carlo

The ravishing rugged canyons, wilderness, rollicking whitewater, etc, will surely make your visit to a memorable one.
While you are at Rogue River, you would definitely not want to miss out on the fun that you get to enjoy. You can take pleasure in exploring the ravishing scenery, and feast your taste buds with t
Over the past decades years, we have written about Jewish life and history in places we have visited ranging from Finland to Scotland to the Azores. But the resurgence of a Jewish consciousness and presence throughout Spain, a process of collective remembering we witnessed in eight journeys starting in 1993, was the theme we were drawn to more than any other. |
Last June, we spent eight days in Istanbul where the story of Iberian Jewry took off just as the one in Spain seemingly ended some 500 yea

You have many opportunities for stepping back in time when exploring Connecticut's coastline. One stellar example is the Saybrook Point section of Old Saybrook Connecticut, situated at the confluence of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound 100 miles equidistant from Boston and NYC. Before interstate highways and multi lane bridges dominated the transportation landscape, a railroad roundhouse marked the spot along with ferry docks that shuttled passengers across the river up until the 1920
The thought of a flight delay can fill any roving traveller with dread, but fear not, after much travelling we have found the best airports to get stranded in:
1. Geneva Airport, Switzerland
You have just returned a car hire in Geneva airport and you’re ready to check in for your return flight home when disaster strikes, they tell you your flight has been delayed for 4 hours! You should take this as a perfect opportunity to head for the airport shops and treat yourself, or buy those last minute
There was a time when you needed a car on lease and then you had to go personally to the lease company and book the car. But things have changed now. In fact, most of the things can now be taken up online. If you visit Dubai for the first time you will actually be excited because there will be so many new places that you will get to see. But all these places can be covered in limited time only when you have the car facility. So, you must opt for Car Hire in Dubai so that you can easily book the
An autumn journey to Krakow, a city that is probably best known of stag parties, where already many Britons come over weekends to celebrate, may become an unforgettable experience. Getting there is easy with cheap flights, affordable hotel prices and almost everyone speaking English. This should not come as a surprise, as Krakow is one of the largest academic cities home to the oldest Polish university founded in 1364. The city is literally flooded by young people. Next to their studies they hav
Oktoberfest will take place for the 179th time and rock & roll Munich for almost 3 weeks. The beer feast will begin on 22 September and run till 7 October this year. The city will change into a folk festival with people wearing traditional Bavarian outfits all these days. You will find it surprising to see women hurrying to work on bike in colourful Dirndl (traditional Bavarian dress) in the early morning. Men wear leather trousers and chequered shirts in the office and Wiesn - where the Oktober

If you live in the city, then you probably have a busy social life, with so much culture and entertainment at your doorstep, it would be hard not to succumb. With such a good mass transport system as the London Underground, you can pretty much move around quickly and cheaply. Of course, we are not the only people attending the event, so be prepared for jostling crowds.
Variety is the spice of life
If you like to get out and about, and you like to be entertained, the choices are endless in the capi
When rainy season, also called “green season”, comes to Costa Rica, regular afternoon and evening rains transform the dry, brown landscape after the long, hot dry season into green lushness. From the end of May to November, Costa Rica once again looks like the tourist posters with emerald green rainforest and flowing rivers and waterfalls.
In Atenas, Costa Rica, butterflies and birds are everywhere enjoying the bountiful blossoms, fruits and seeds that the rain brings. It is a time to enjoy the o
We walk into the lobby of this resort in northern San Diego and pass a table with a bouquet of roses and hydrangeas. It’s the size of a giant balloon; the flowers are fresh and glorious. But you’re too distracted to fully take in the image — there’s so much to look at, you don’t know where to turn.
The woman behind the check-in desk tells you the place opened in 2007, and you think, “She must be kidding

Situated in the centre of the UNESCO World Heritage area, Sung Sot or “Amazing Cave” is on Bo Hòn Island, and is one of the most spectacular and largest grottoes of Ha Long Bay. The mouth of the grotto is reached by ascending about a hundred stone steps. One is surrounded by trees and foliage on the journey up as the shimmering bay below offers an ever more panoramic vista to admire.
The cave is made up of two chambers; the first being similar to a wide theatre hall, with many stalactites hangin
