]]>Once famed for its fish and chips and ice creams, this seaside city has recently expanded its food repertoire to include a huge range of cuisines. Ephesus is a Turkish grill house located at several venues across the city, and you can also dine on Indian, Malaysian, Greek and Korean cuisine, all within the city center. Of course, if you fancy some fish and chips that’s also on offer, too – head to the seafront for the best fish bars.
Bristol has cemented its reputation as a foodie’s paradise with several markets across the city dedicated to serving up excellent street food and fresh, quality produce. Head down to Wapping Wharf, situated at the habor beside the M Shed museum, for a huge choice of simply excellent dining experiences, ranging from Mexican tacos to the freshest seafood imaginable. There are also a number of fine dining establishments in Bristol, head to the area around the Avon Gorge suspension bridge if you’re looking for somewhere to celebrate an anniversary or special event.
The city of Leeds has won awards for its dedication to quality food and cuisines. You’ll find everything you could want or need in the city, but particular recommendations are The Swine that Dines (a relaxed take on fine dining), Stuzzi (serving up Italian treats such as homemade pasta and the creamiest risottos) and Blue Sakura for all-you-can-eat sushi that’s fabulous quality and a reasonable price.

]]>Visiting prime beauty spots in the UK off season (September through to April) is a great way to ensure that you’re not hiking or sunbathing alongside a crowd. However, if you’d like to experience these places during the spring and summer months, another useful tip is to arrive early in the morning or towards the late afternoon. Many popular hill walks and beaches are most crowded between 11am through to 5pm, so taking advantage of beauty spots outside of these times is a great way to get close to nature.
While certain sections of the UK’s coastline and countryside can become incredibly crowded during the summer (hotspots include Cornwall, Devon, the Lake District and the Norfolk coastline), other areas remain relatively empty. If you’re prepared for some bracing winds, then the North East coastline is particularly stunning and relatively empty. Areas around North Wales and parts of North Scotland are also comparatively quiet.
If you’re determined to visit the really busy beauty spots during the high season, it’s worth coming prepared for the crowds. Bring a sunshade so that you can stake a claim to a particular section of beach or countryside, and it’s also worth bringing food in case cafes and food stands sell out. If you’re intent on swimming in the sea, it may be worth waiting until 5pm when many beachgoers will start leaving for home.

]]>This wetland wonderland is situated on the south coast, near the city of Marseilles. It is famed for its native flocks of flamingoes, but there are plenty of other wetlands and wading birds to see. Although this area of France is incredibly popular, the Camargue maintains a sense of peace and tranquillity, so it’s a must-visit if you’re seeking some relaxing time in nature.
Situated in the province of Burgundy, this gorgeous national park offers plenty of idyllic woodland walks, traditional farmsteads, and bucolic fields. This landscape is best visited in high spring or early summer, but the trees will also look stunning in the fall. There are many well-marked trails through the national park, so you can enjoy a relaxing ramble or a more strenuous climb, depending on what you’re looking for.
These mountains are located in the southeast of the country. While they may not be quite as big or as bold as the famous Alps, there are plenty of reasons to visit this range. The hiking and climbing trails here are generally much more accessible for beginners than those found in the Alps, and there are plenty of stunning views from the mountains, stretching out across the Massif Centrale.

]]>These beautiful, wide streets provided plenty of inspiration for Impressionist painters such as Degas and Monet. With the pale stone of the houses and the rows of planted plane trees, these streets are designed to catch and reflect light, something that was very important to Impressionist artists. Explore the area around the Boulevard des Capucines, where in 1874 one of the houses hosted the first Impressionist exhibition.
These stunning gardens are visited by many tourists seeking a little respite and some natural beauty amongst the buzz and thrill of the city. The Impressionist artist Monet was struck by the quality of light in this natural space and recorded it in several of his works. The gardens are especially beautiful in spring and early summer, so make sure to visit them if you’re heading to Paris soon.
Many of the stations in Paris are ornate and constructed with large amounts of glass to let in the light. For this reason, artists including Monet and Degas spent lots of time sketching them, trying to capture the play of light and the rush of people. If you’re passing through one of the city’s stations, such as Gare du Nord, it’s worth pausing for a moment to notice the quality of the light and architecture in these spaces.

]]>Avoid modern apartments and buildings and try to stay in an authentic and traditional home. The beautiful architecture and old-fashioned techniques will really help you to feel like you’ve traveled back in time. This is particularly effective if you’re visiting in fall or winter when the wintry weather can make you feel very grateful for the warmth and comfort of your accommodation.
Whilst the Dracula-themed attractions will be open year-round, if you want those spooky vibes visit Romania in the fall. The myth, folklore, and history of this country mean that you can sense that every town and village is steeped in storytelling and memory, and the hauntingly beautiful landscapes help to increase the sense of mystery and suspense.
Whilst many sites will claim a connection with Dracula, none are quite so impressive as Bran Castle, situated not far from the city of Brasov. This beautiful building has, in reality, no connections with Stoker or the myth of Dracula, but it’s worth the visit for its stunning architecture and incredible history. The tourist industry has made the most of supposed connections, so expect to see plenty of Dracula-themed stalls outside, but this doesn’t detract from the overall experience.

]]>There’s a reason that The Louvre is the world’s most popular museum, attracting nearly 10 million visitors a year. But it has so much more to offer than just the Mona Lisa, which many people seem to prioritize above any other tourist attraction in Paris. Unfortunately, the Mona Lisa is so crowded that it’s nearly impossible to get a good look at it—or a photo that doesn’t have a million people in it.
In any list of places to see in San Francisco, you’re likely to find Pier 39, a popular shopping center and tourist attraction. Well, unfortunately, many tourists who were attracted there reported back that it’s little more than a tourist trap with overpriced shops and restaurants.
It may be one of the most famous landmarks in Brussels, but the Mannekin Pis is really just a small statue of a boy urinating into a fountain – and it’s tucked into an unexpected corner on an unexciting street and surrounded by tourists taking photos.

]]>Sure, the Walk of Fame with all of its golden stars is pretty cool, but did you know that these are located on a plain old shopping street that would be just the same as any other if it weren’t for the dozens of people trying to take advantage of tourists by selling tickets to lame things or photos with guys in cheap costumes?
Similarly, Times Square in New York is basically the definition of a tourist trap, with nothing but overpriced chain restaurants and people trying to get money out of your pocket—legally or otherwise.
It may be a pretty iconic London landmark, but the London Eye isn’t much fun. Not only is it absurdly expensive, but you’ll get shoved into a capsule with 20 people, many of whom are screaming kids.

]]>Matera has one of the longest continuous inhabitancies in the world, with evidence of population even 7000 years ago. There, you can see the prehistoric caves where Italy’s ancestors lived.
Interestingly, Matera was an infamous slum until only 70 years ago and residents were still living in caves made up like houses. The very poor population there lived without modern amenities until a book brought attention to their conditions and things improved.
The most famous and beautiful part of Matera is the Sassi, which is the area of the ancient city with its winding streets and overlapping houses. Many Italians like to walk among the Sassi, getting lost in its stone alleyways and snapping photos along the way. If you want to feel like a part of the country, this is a great place to visit.

]]>Hawaii is a popular tourist destination with around 10 million visitors on a yearly basis. Tourism is a huge part of the state’s economy and the new bill could slightly alter the experience of tourists.
The first two out of four action points make sure to protect the locals as much as possible. “People locally and around the world have the right to clean, healthy, and adequate air, water, land, food, education, and shelter,” states one part of the resolution.
The next two points focus on tourism. A shift to electric vehicles available for rent will reduce gas emissions, and when it comes to locals, there are plans to open many new jobs in the renewable energy field.
Sustainable travel has been trending for a while, but without initiatives like this, there’s not a lot that individuals can do to make the situation better. Hawaii is setting a great example for others so we expect to see more similar initiatives in the future.

Odissea 2000 was a small leisure area at first when it was just a part of the Nausicaa Resort. Today, it’s one of the most incredible waterparks in the country with exciting and relaxing attractions.
Gardaland’s mascot is famous in Italy. The park is located near Lake Garda. It was launched in 1975 and over time, its size has doubled. The park offers amazing rides and performances for all ages.
