Day 2: Palaces and Art Morning: Schönbrunn Palace: Visit the summer residence of the Habsburgs. Explore the opulent rooms and take a leisurely walk through the expansive gardens. Allocate about 3 hours for the palace and gardens. Lunch: Café Central: Experience a traditional Viennese coffeehouse atmosphere while enjoying classic pastries and light meals. Afternoon: Belvedere Palace: Divided into Upper and Lower Belvedere, this Baroque masterpiece houses an impressive art collection, including Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss.” Spend around 2 hours exploring the art and gardens. Evening: Prater Amusement Park: Visit the historic Prater park and take a ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel for a unique view of the city, especially enchanting during sunset. Day 3: Culture and Leisure Morning: Albertina Museum: Home to one of the largest and most important print rooms in the world, the Albertina also hosts modern art exhibitions. Plan for a 2-hour visit. Lunch: Figlmüller: Known for serving some of the best Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna, this restaurant offers a quintessential Austrian dining experience. Afternoon: Hundertwasser House: Explore this unique residential building designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, known for its colorful façade and unconventional design.

Evening: Danube River Cruise: Conclude your trip with a relaxing evening cruise along the Danube River, offering a different perspective of Vienna’s landmarks illuminated at night. Transportation Vienna boasts an efficient public transportation system, including trams, buses, and the U-Bahn (subway).

Taxis and ride-sharing services are also readily available for added convenience. Additional Tips Weather: Vienna experiences mild winters and warm summers.

15th July 2023Getting to know Liverpool What you can do for free in Liverpool Explore the Liverpool waterfront (Albert Docks and Pier Head) There is a lot to see when you go exploring the Liverpool waterfront: the complex of dock buildings and warehouses is called The Royal Albert Dock. Process to the Pier Head and you’ll find sculptures, beautiful buildings with fascinating architecture, the Museum of Liverpool, the Royal Liver Building and more. Wonder around Sefton Park Sefton Park is spread across 235 acres and it has plenty of things to check out – if you plan on visiting you can reserve a whole day for exploration here.

If you find your way to Crosby beach, you’ll be able to admire the “Another Place” modern sculptures by Antony Gormley. 100 cast iron figures face towards the sea and create this fascinating scenery for visitors. Top spots to visit Beatles-related sites Since Liverpool is very famous as the birthplace of The Beatles, it would be a shame to skip visiting all the various Beatles-related sites. The list of potential spots to add to your itinerary includes the Penny Lane, the Strawberry Fields, The Beatles Story in Albert Dock, the rebuilt Cavern Club, the Beatles statues on Pier Head, the Beatles Shop and the homes of members of the band. You can even find tours focusing on these spots, but you can go on your own for free if you know what you want to see and make a plan yourself. Museums and galleries Tate Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum, Victoria Gallery and Museum – these are only a few of the spots that can be a great addition to your Liverpool visit. Depending on your interests and what types of arts and artists you’re most interested in, make your choice and enjoy! St. George’s Hall St. George’s Hall is a Neoclassical building containing concert halls and law courts. The place can be visited and it is definitely an impressive spot – both the interior and the exterior have plenty of things to see, from the sculpted friezes on the facades to the beautiful stained glass windows, the bronze doors and beautiful floors inside. Hidden spots to visit Formby Pinewoods Liverpool is a place where bluebell flowers take over the ground in many spots in the springtime. One such spot is the Formby Pinewoods – if you’re a nature lover, you should love it here. These woods are also home to many red squirrels and it is a great spot to admire the wildlife and nature (make sure you respect the animals and remember that you’re entering their home and should not disturb them). Williamson Tunnels A series of subterranean excavations can be found in the Edge Hill area in Liverpool – these tunnels span over quite a large area and they are not your typical tourist attraction, although quite fascinating. If you’re into the more obscure spots and enjoy a dose of creepiness from time to time, these tunnels should be up your alley. Sefton Shipwrecks You can see quite a few shipwrecks along the Merseyside coastline and the Sefton ones are part of the list. Keep in mind that tides, water and sand movement sometimes cover and uncover certain wrecks and you might not reach the spot you’ve planned to at the right time – make sure you check online to see how things present themselves lately. Restaurants The diversity when it comes to food and cuisines is great in Liverpool – you can find anything from American, Indian, Asian, European cuisines to all sorts of bars and cafes with good sweet and savory foods. Go for a fine dining experience at The Art School, Mamasan Liverpool, Puffin’ Rooms, Röski or check out the cheaper options at Blackdoor Bar & Bistro, Cowshed, Noso, The Edge at Joey Orr’s and Lucy in the Sky. Choose according to proximity to your accommodation or the spots you’re visiting and make sure you check out some online reviews before. Recommended time for visiting Liverpool is good to visit at almost any point during the year. While the winters and cold and the days are short during this time and most people would not find it pleasant here then, you can always go anywhere from late spring to early autumn. The weather is generally pleasant even in the summer days and early autumn gets a bit chillier but also less crowded, so you might enjoy that plus the lower hotel fares. [...] Read more...

Travel Tips
How to plan your dream holiday for lessHow to plan your dream holiday for less
16th December 2018There is a general perception that holidays are expensive. Holidays can be expensive but with a little planning, you can have your dream holiday without breaking the bank. It is actually very possible to have your dream holiday for less with just a little planning. We will give you a few tips below: Destination Do a thorough research of your dream destination. The internet has a wealth of information that will tell you everything you need to know about your destination. Do check up on accommodation, cost of food, transportation and fun activities available. Choose an affordable destination so that you can save on travel costs. Draw a detailed budget Make the budget as detailed as possible and put an estimated amount for each item. Be very detailed, yes, factor in everything including meals, fun activities, snacks, outings, shopping for gifts just to name a few. The most important thing is, to be honest about how much you have for the vacation. The idea is to put aside something small in terms of savings each month based on your budget estimate total. That is the reason why it is important to be very detailed when doing your budget. Accommodation You may opt out of staying in a hotel and use some of the hosting services like Airbnb. If you prefer a hotel you should look for good budget hotels. Do a price comparison and read online reviews to help you choose. Consider splitting costs You can opt to get together with a group of friends and share the costs. There are great packages for group travel. However be very clear on each person’s responsibility in as far as expenses are concerned to avoid confusion. You can, for example, agree to share accommodation costs but drinks and costs of outings are individual responsibilities. Cook your own meals Eating out is expensive, so get accommodation with kitchen facilities and cook your own meals. This especially works well for a family or group vacation. Yes, you may not want to be bothered with having to cook but it will save you a lot of money. Use a travel agent Travel agents have their feelers out for great holiday bargains. You may actually save quite a bit by using a travel agent. However, the onus is still on you to do your research on whichever destination or package they offer. Look for reviews or feedback from people, who have taken their packages, this will give you a good indication of what to expect. Travel off-season Some seasons are considered peak seasons and are therefore not the best times for a budget-friendly holiday. Consider planning your holiday during the off-season. You will get the same great deals but at much lower costs. Transport Book your flights early, you may get better rates. Do some research on the transport modes available wherever you are going for your holiday; you do not have to use cabs all the time as they can be very expensive. Get train schedules, public buses etc. You will save a ton this way. Final thoughts Remember, you do not have to be a millionaire to afford a holiday; it is all in the planning. [...] Read more...
