My nephews were coming to visit in New England from florida so got this. My 15 year old nephew ruled the slopes with it but even better my 4 year old autistic nephew insisted on trying it like his brother and he was the champ on it. He was giggling and so excited with this that I’d highly recommend this to everyone of all ages and abilities ! - Diana Tidlund  Price: 39.99 4. Krown Snowskate Plastic Polymer Skateboard Style Dual Kick Snowboard with Foam Grip – Many Graphics The snowskate measuring 35" inches in length are perfect for more advanced or taller snowskaters, while the other smaller sizes at 32" are ideal for beginner and younger snowskaters.

Beautiful vibrant colors! Well made! - Brenda Silva  Price: 59.99 5. Agog Sports SLOPEDECK - A Skateboard For The Snow. Carve Turns Like No Other Snowskate!

Quick turning, intuitive, lightweight -- with solid carving in all snow conditions -- you'll finally get that skateboard/surf feel you've been yearning for.  Customer review: This board is a lot of fun. It thrives in snow that’s already been packed down or groomed, or really anything between slippery grass and 3 inches of powder. It can carve and get air off of jumps just fine, but other tricks (Ollies, flips etc) are more challenging than on a skateboard. Well made and fun for rookies and seasoned skaters. - M. Sandberg  Price: 165.00

Keep Your Skin Soft and Moisturized This Winter With The Following Travel Size Skin Care

Keep Your Skin Soft and Moisturized This Winter With The Following Travel Size Skin Care

 1. Clinique-Cosmetics Clinque 2021 Fall Skincare And Makeup 8-Piece Gift Set, (value $111) Package include: Moisture Surge 100H Hydrator, 15ml Moisture Surge Eye 96Hour Concentrate, 5ml Take The Day Off Makeup Remover, 50ml All About Clean Liquid Facial Soap, Mild, 30ml All About Shadow Duo in Chocolate.  Customer review: Awesome travel sized makeup! 10/10 would buy again, definitely worth the price!! 🥰😍 - Shernelle 💗  Price: 24.57  2. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and Hydrating Face Wash Trial Combo | 12oz Cream + 3oz Travel Size Cleanser Making up 50% of the skin's natural barrier, ceramides are essential to maintaining healthy skin. All CeraVe products are formulated with three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6-II) to help restore the protective skin barrier.  Customer review: This is for all my super dry skin people…if your skin is dry, flaky and painful even after applying lotion this is for you. If you are approaching a certain age and suddenly you cannot seem to apply enough cream to soothe your skin, this is for you too. Before you go to a doctor to be checked for skin fungal infection try this first: To be clear this is a comparison between the “Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion” for very dry skin (it has urea as the third ingredient) vs “CeraVe Moisturizing Cream” that comes in a big tub, sometimes with a pump. Both products are unscented. EUCERIN: This is a lighter lotion that packs a good punch. It goes on light, leaving a very slight oil feeling and film that feels good. The secret ingredient here is urea which draws moisture to the skin. The lotion can be used on its own in fall, spring and summer if your skin is not too dry. For winter it needs a tiny bit more oil for complete relief. In the winter I put about a dime size dollop of lotion on my hand, add a tiny bit of oil (about half or less the amount of lotion), rub together and apply from head to toe. The lotion is light enough to apply a small amount on the face when it is super dry out. It makes a great night moisturizer too. CERAVE: This is a thick, rich cream that feels luxurious and provides a nice nongreasy film on the skin. I can get away with using it on its on in the summer but for fall, spring and winter I need to add oil to it. Usually, I pump a dime size dollop of cream on my hand, add about the same amount of oil, rub them together and then apply from neck to toe (it is too thick for the face). If I was to pick only one of the two products, Cerave would be it. Even if it needs more oil for the perfect feel in super dry weather, it provides a much more moisturizing cushion to the skin. When I use it without oil in the summer it almost feels a little dry/powder-like, while still moisturizing. One last point: I have had the best results when adding oil to both products. As we age our skin cannot produce as much oil as needed, and adding it to our cream/lotion is the perfect solution. You need an oil blend that has a good balance between fast absorbing oils, for a more conditioning effect, and ones that linger a little to help seal in the moisture from your cream/lotion. The best I have found so far is the “Acacia Well Body” body oil. It is rich but not greasy. Sometimes when in a rush I apply the oil minus cream/lotion, and it holds its own for at least 24 hours. - Rest_Panda  Price: 15.49  3. Moroccanoil Treatment Softens, nourishes, and protects hair. Provides a natural, touchable, shiny appearance. Helps to eliminate frizz, smooth, and reduce flyaways. Nongreasy and nonoily. Can be used on damp or dry hair.  Customer review: My stylist introduced this to me years ago and I have never looked back. I love the way it smells and how soft it makes my hair feel. I put it in right after I comb my hair out of the shower. My hair hasn't seen a hair dryer in 15 years, so I can't comment on drying power, but my girls love it and they use the dryer, flat iron and curler. We order through subscribe and save because it is such a staple. - Julies  Price: 16.0

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 the Canadian Rockies and even Banff National Park. Enjoy the view of those iconic blue waters of Lake Louise from behind a dog sled for a truly one-of-a-kind experience! Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada The capital city of Whitehorse is a great base for your Yukon adventures, including dog sledding. While you’re there, embrace all things winter! There’s seemingly endless snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and more. Anchorage, Alaska Alaska is one of the most popular destinations for dog sledding in the US and the world. While there are many places in Alaska to go dog sledding, the most easily accessible is Anchorage. Tromsø, Norway Located in the Arctic Circle, Tromso is an island surrounded by mountains. It offers a unique landscape perfect for dog sledding. Tromso is also a great place to spot the Northern Lights! Rovaniemi, Finland As the home to Santa Claus himself, Rovaniemi is a city that fuels your inner child in many ways. While there, be sure to experience dog sledding through the pristine Arctic countryside and enjoy the magic of Finland’s Lapland region.

Top 10 US Ski Resorts Recommendations Perfect for Family Trip

From kids working on their pizza wedge to tweens honing their advanced skills, ski resorts are becoming more family-friendly across the U.S. These kid-friendly ski resorts have recognized the importance of catering to families and are helping kids progress their skills and enjoy their time on and off the mountain like never before. 1. Crystal Mountain Resort, Washington In the summer, Washington’s largest ski area transforms into the perfect summer playground. Crystal Mountain Resort lies on the sunny side of Mt Rainier, just six miles from the Northeast entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park and the popular Sunrise area of the park. Nestled amid stunning forests, wildflower-filled meadows, and pure Washington wilderness, Crystal Mountain is a fun and relaxing escape any time of the year. 2. Breckenridge Ski Resort, Colorado Breckenridge boasts four peaks for skiers and riders to explore in addition to the two lift-serviced summits that access terrain normally found only in the backcountry. With the greatest vertical drop in Summit County at 3,398 feet, there are equal options for skiers who are just learning to stand, and those who are learning to fly. 3. Mt. Bachelor, Oregon At 4,300 acres, the resort is also one of the largest in the United States, offering varied terrain within the hemlocks and pines. Since it opened in 1958, the resort has been known for its light and dry snow, and spectacular scenery. 4.

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.

About the water wonderland of Maui

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Edit this link Maui is a tiny isle in the state of Hawaii. The isle is a haven for activities such as whale watching, kayaking, and exploring the Road to Hana. It is home to some of the most beautiful sights in the world, such as the beautiful gold sand beaches, the green Haleakalā and Wailua Falls. Maui is an island destination in the Hawaiian archipelago, in the state of Hawaii. It is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands. The island is often called the "Valley Isle" or "Coconut Island" because of its terrain of palm trees, sugarcane, and pineapple fields. Maui lures travelers with an invigorating mix of natural beauty and outdoor fun, all shared with warm alohas. When it comes to outdoor recreation, Maui wins best in show. Just look at that zipliner launching into a canopy of green. Or the mountain biker hurtling past eucalyptus and pine. Hikers have it darn good too, with trails winding through lava flows and bamboo forests. Along the coast, surfers barrel through waves, windboarders skim across whitecaps and snorkelers glide among fish-filled reefs and coral. 1. Piʻilanihale Heiau & Kahanu Garden Wailea Beach is a popular beach in Maui, Hawaii. Wailea Beach offers a full menu of water activities, as well as a sparkling, calm beach. On the southern end of the beach, there are decent snorkeling opportunities. 2. Keawakapu Beach Keawakapu Beach is a beautiful stretch of beach that extends from south Kihei to Wailea’s Mokapu Beach. It is set back from the main road and less visible than Kihei’s main roadside beaches just north. It is less crowded, and is a great place to settle in and watch the sunset. 3. Haleakalā National Park Waiʻanapanapa State Park is the ideal spot for a day of relaxation and exploration. Visitors will have the chance to see the clear waters of a cave pool, a natural lava arch, and lava tube caves. Waiʻanapanapa State Park is a great place for a day of relaxation and exploration. Visitors will have the chance to see the clear waters of a cave pool, a natural lava arch, and lava tube caves. 4. Waiʻanapanapa State Park The Three Bears Falls is a triple cascade that can be found on the inland side of the road, 0.5 miles past the 19-mile marker. This beauty takes its name from the triple cascade that flows down a steep rock face on the inland side of the road, 0.5 miles past the 19-mile marker. Catch it after a rainstorm and the cascades come together and roar as one mighty waterfall. There's limited parking up the hill to the left after the falls. 5. Wailea Beach Makaluapuna Point is a razor-sharp spikes crowning rocky point that is known as the "Dragon's Teeth." The point is known for looking like the mouth of an imaginary dragon. 6. Three Bears Falls Piʻilanihale Heiau is a traditional Hawaiian temple that was built in 1837. The heiau is about 104 feet long and is a National Historic Landmark. Kahanu Garden is a 293 acre ethnobotanical garden. It's located on the property of the Piʻilanihale Heiau before the turnoff onto the Hana Highway. Kahanu Garden was founded in 1980 by a botanist named Tom Wagner and his partner, Marion Holmes. 7. Makaluapuna Point Haleakalā National Park is a national park in the US state of Hawai'i. It is most famous for being home to the volcano that created the island of Maui. The volcano is large and has a two districts: the Kipahulu District and the summit, Haleakalā District. The Kipahulu District sits at the southeastern edge of the island of Maui and features waterfalls and lush greenery, while the Haleakalā District is located on the island's summit and features a lunar-like surface. 8. Big Beach Kapalua Beach is a safe year-round swimming spot at the southwestern tip of Kapalua. With rocky outcrops at both ends of the bay, the beach is a crescent-shaped strip with snorkeling, lunch, stand up paddle surfing, and cocktails available. 9. Kapalua Beach Big Beach is the crowning glory of Makena State Park. It is arguably the finest beach on Maui. The golden shores stretch for the better part of a mile and are as broad as they come. The waters are a beautiful turquoise. When they're calm, one can find kids boogie boarding here, but at other times the shorebreaks can be dangerous and suitable only for experienced bodysurfers, who get tossed wildly in the transparent waves.

It was a nice change but if you're looking for the powdered taro, look elsewhere. Brown sugar milk tea was lovely,  and the oat milk is truly creamy but can overpower the flavor of the tea. With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed my beverages." - Diana N. "Great tea shop!  Had a rose infused milk tea with oat milk and grass jelly.  Son had the same thing with boba'.

I prefer getting it without tapioca if because I've found the ginger flavor is stronger without it. Will be ordering this again and again." - Jess D. "So good!! Stopped by this place twice during my trip to Toronto and the iced matcha latte with tapioca was amazing. The menu was quite simple and the one-size drinks made it easy to look through the different drink options. Hopefully I can come back again soon and try other flavors." - Skye H.

I had no idea this place existed until a group of friends I was with introduced me here.  Am I sure glad I followed their recommendation - their mango fruit tea I ordered was absolutely refreshing and flavourful!  I ended up having one of my friends help me choose since their menu is huge and full of many different options - all of which are of very high quality from my understanding.  The service was excellent and quick, and staff members were very friendly and patient.  I did see some past reviews complaining about the price but I think how much you pay for drinks here is absolutely worth it. Why didn't I know about this place earlier during my past visits to Toronto?  That's the real question..." - William K. "We've ordered from gotcha quite a few times and it's always a solid choice. The creme brulee is definitely my personal favorite. I'm not sure but I think they may have dairy subs if you ask" - Jess D. "This place is one of the best places for bubble tea. I came here with my sister and mother a few days ago while we were visiting the area. The girls working the business were very nice and friendly. I ordered a Taro smoothie and OMG so delicious.

Would definitely come back to try another." - Cecilia T. "One of a few places in the city with Yogurt bubble tea. Great yogurt taste and a nice hint of black sesame for the drink I ordered. Will need to go back next time to try other drinks and to try out the speakeasy behind the "vending machine"" - James Y. "Deee-licious! I got into a bit of a yogurt craze after trying the bottled type in China. This is like bubble tea married Yop and they turned it appropriate for adults. I have been kind of disappointed in the selection in Toronto. Then one day I accidentally stumbled upon this place on my way home and I have ever looked back! This place amazes me every time I try it. The decor is modern and simple (they've got aesop hand sanitizer) and the menu is not overwhelming. The yogurt tastes hearty and wholesome without a bunch of additives. I have tried their original menu and the tea menu now and both are great. The fruit is real and they are generous with it. The staff here are also super attentive and take care in making all the drinks. Here's to more treat days so I can stuff my face with more Kome!" - Annette Y.

The white jade lychee is refreshing and they are generous with toppings. The interior is also super cute, bright, and clean. Service is a little slow but the staff is always super friendly and polite!" - Xini L. "Have passed by this location several times, and never thought to come in. Until one day I just stumbled upon their special that was buy one get 1/2 off, I figured I might as well try it today of all days. I can definitely say this place is 10 out of 10 for a real authentic Tea flavour if that's what you're looking for. Anything that has tea in it taste like a high-quality tea that has been steeped properly and used all the necessary steps to make it taste perfect. The one topping that stood out the most to me though aside from your usual coconut jelly, or Boba pearls; Is their cream cheese foam, it did not taste like it was just made with heavy cream or carnation milk, it actually had cream cheese in it and it was super thick and rich with just the right amount of salt. I can't wait to go back again, I will remind everybody that they are quite pricey though, but that's what you get for good quality tea flavour. There are several selections and flavours to choose from I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice refreshing cup of Boba or juice drink." - Chantal Y.

7 Best Burgers in Canada

1. Zeal Burgers We’re not trying to reinvent the burger-but perfect it! Food popular here * Fried Onion Strings * Double Patty Cheese Burger * Sorry Eh " Burger Let’s see how people review this restaurant "4.5 - I am surprised on the amount of good reviews and the fact that I have never heard about this place before until I tried it! I normally do not go to this area but the menu persuaded me haha. I ordered two burgers and Greek fries and I did not think that there would be such a wait for the food to be prepared. I think my brother and I waited for more than 20 minutes for it. We could see the kitchen from we were standing and saw the employee work on about 10 sandwiches at the same time which was impressive. The person proceeded to wrap all of them and that's when the orders started to roll out. I got the OZ burger and it was DELICIOUSSS!! I have plenty of burgers before but this one is memorable for sure. Lots of flavour and the sauces and toppings complemented well with each other. As for the Greek fries, we found it a bit too salty for our liking but still manageable." - Cindy D. "Best burgers in the city in my opinion. I get the mini zeal burger and add jalapeño mayonnaise to it." - Marcelo S. "I live near the Weston location and their burgers are fantastic!  Fries are so good, we order from here once a month. Try them, you will not be disappointed." - Nancy G. Restaurant Info * +1 647-352-3933 * http://www.zealburgers.com * 1926 Weston Road Toronto, ON M9N 1W2 Canada * 12:00 PM - 09:00 PM 2. The Burger's Priest It all began in California, where our founder, Shant Mardirosian grew up. He had always revered a fresh, classic old-fashioned burger but finding one was becoming increasingly rare in a world of apparent burger defilement. Frozen patties. Over-seasoned and compromised beef quality. Order speed over a burger-eating experience that was fresh and perfect every time. And so the mission began, whether he knew it at the time or not. Food popular here * The High Priest * Portobello Mushroom * Vatican City Let’s see how people review this restaurant "This "hole in the wall" is very unassuming but well worth investigating. Quick service and quality burgers and fries. Glad we passed up all the other burger joints to get to this one!" - Denson K. "Was craving a cheeseburger and this place nailed it! Delicious burger, great fries, fresh produce and service was lovely. Will definitely be back!" - M F. "Honestly, best burgers in the city. All their special burgers and even just their regular cheeseburger or regular burgers are delicious. Their fries are also so good, and best gravy in the city." - Jennifer D.

Happy Burger SMASH BURGERS HOTDOGS WAFFLE FRIES Food popular here * Smash Burger * Happy Cheeseburger * Cajun Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Best burger ever! I love cheeseburgers and the Happy Stack is one of the best I've ever tasted!  Go grab one, you won't regret it." - Georgette H. "The owner was extremely nice and helpful. My friend was blackout drunk right outside this place, and he didn't hesitate to help carry her to our car and made sure she was conscious. He also gave us some bags. This place has a nice patio, super fast service and an awesome owner. Highly recommend!" - 佳琛 "I've been here several times and this review focuses on an average of all my experiences. Happy Burger is a smash burger place that also serves up hot dogs, fried chicken burgers and vegan burgers. The owner chef has previously worked at Greek restaurants Mamakas among other fine dining establishments. I've had the Pastrami Burger, Oklahoma Onion Burger, Cheeseburger, Onion Rings and Waffle Fries. My absolute favourite is still their cheeseburger. I usually order the onion rings, which are among the best in the city. The service has always been outstanding. The staff always seems to really care about their customers. There are no seats, but if you're lucky, you can eat on one the two outdoor picnic benches, under the tree. It's like a little oasis in the city. Overall I recommend stopping by! You'll be happy you did!" - Tom T. Restaurant Info * +1 647-352-7777 * http://happyburger.ca * 76 Lippincott Street Toronto, ON M5S 2P1 Canada * 12:00 PM - 01:00 AM 4. Burger Drops Burger Drops serves up smash burgers and fries. We source premium AAA cuts of beef from our butcher and grind in-house daily. We hand-form our patties and make your burger to order. We also hand-cut our fries, brine our own pickles and make our sauces from scratch. Food popular here * Original Double Cheeseburger * Beef Patty * Single American Burger Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Best burger in Toronto. I used to be a Burgers Priest fanatic but after tasting the smash burgers here, onion rings, french fries, this place is pure magic." - Mark L. "Burger drops is a truly incredible spot. Every item on the menu is stellar. The highlights: Double original burger- This burger is the epitome of a simple, delicious, beefy and cheesy burger that you will constantly crave. Really high quality pressed beef with the perfect char. You truly taste the beef which I can't say about all smash burgers. Perfect blend of toppings as well. The soft potato roll and cheese are perfect accompaniments for this mouth watering beef. Cheese fries- absolutely love these. The thick crinkle fries give you that perfect mix of a crispy outside but a potato heavy inside. Not easy to accomplish. The cheese is flavourful and the jalapeño sauce gives it some kick without being overly spicy. Veggie Burger- arguably Toronto's best veggie burger. The effort made to grind fresh vegetables where the mushrooms really stand out is top notch here. Most burger spots opt for the impossible or beyond burger. While those are decent, this one far exceeds them. A sweet, savoury and perfectly crispy veggie patty is the end result here.  Love the attention to detail and the way the potato bun and toppings compliment the patty. Burger Drops: keep this veggie option on the table. There's no spot like yours that does this quite as well! To top it all off, the desserts are delicious and the staff are so unbelievably friendly and accommodating. An amazing experience and a must visit for all beef and veggie burger lovers!" - Cal A.

You really can't beat this place if you are looking for a smash burger. The fries.... think Mcdonalds but actually fresh and crispy.

Cabano's Comfort Food Tucked away on St. Nicholas street is a cozy eatery with, arguably, the city’s best fried chicken sandwich. Cabano’s Comfort Food makes everything from scratch and focuses on the fundamentals to create big flavours in a small space. Food popular here * Fried Chicken Sandwich * Cabano Burger * Cheeseburger Let’s see how people review this restaurant "What a spot. When I'd walk home from work or school on a claustrophobic and hectic stretch of Yonge, I'd sometimes cut off onto the calm and empty parallel side streets to make the trek more enjoyable. On one of these detours, I discovered a cozy little quiet side street just south of Yonge and Bloor. On this street, the refined and profesional looking Cabano's sign stuck out to me. When I saw it was a place that specialized in comfort food, I knew they were speaking my language. On my first and only visit (so far), I grabbed their Original Chicken Sandwich ($12.49) with a side of Fries ($4.50). That Southern Fried Chicken Breast tastes truly amazing. The batter tastes great and has a nice crunch. The chicken itself is juicy and was served up hot. Some fried chicken sandwiches feel like a slab of bland tasteless white meat, but Cabano's tasted great. I loved the mayo, lettuce, and pickles as well. The coolness they bring in each bite is mouth watering. $12.49 is the more or less the going rate for cool independent spots in the city, so relative to that league of restaurants the pricing was fair. The portion size was nice as well. Based on just the sandwich and it's price, I'd give this place a 4/5, but what makes it a 5/5 for me is the Cabano's Burger Sauce. Every time I try a new burger/chicken sandwich place, I need to give their house sauce a shot. Cabano's Burger Sauce is delicious. It's creamy with a slight zip. It's a blend of other condiments, but includes real egg and dairy - definitely on the higher quality side. Well worth the extra $1.25. My friend had their Honey BBQ and enjoyed it, but much preferred their sampling of my Burger Sauce (fwiw). Lastly, I must touch on the Fries. I'm typically not a fan of all these restaurants segmenting up the burger, fries, and drink for separate costs, so my friend and I split the fries for $4.50. I'd say they're worth the $4.50 as the serving size is pretty big. They taste amazing. Sometimes, skinny fries like this can lack taste or be overly salted, but these were perfect. Ours had no seasoning like cajun or anything like that, but were salted just right. You can really taste the yummy oil they dunk them in to cook and it's to-die-for. The seating area inside the restaurant is actually really great. It's a square shaped ring table with high stools to sit on. The restaurant itself is clean, dimly lit, and simple - I like it! It's a good environment to scarf down a burger. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It only took about 10 minutes for our order to be prepared. One of my favourite things about the inside of the restaurant is that they have two touch screen kiosks to order on similarly to McDonald's and Tim Horton's. The reason I like this is because it gives me time to go through the menu and slowly configure my order. In the summertime, there are a few wooden dining tables out front to dine on. Because the street is usually pretty quiet, it makes it a nice spot to enjoy a meal without being disturbed by constant foot traffic a few inches away from your meal. Cabano's is a 5/5 for me. I look forward to going back and trying their Chili Cheese Fries and Stroman Shimmy Wings." - Nathan G. "Cabano is definitely hands-down my favourite burger in the city. Everything from the bun to the meat and toppings are amazing. There fries are amazing, I wish they had poutine. Would be a game changer. I've had all their burgers and wings and I can't say this about a lot of places but it gets 10/10 for me." - Bianka K. "Surprisingly exceeded expectations. The cheeseburger is wafer thin and the bun stays puffy throughout the eating experience. A good ratio between bun and patty covering both sides. Would return. My partner and I also shared the chili cheese fries which, had the fries been curly, would hit the whole mouth feel out of the park." - Jennifer C.

Food was delicious, we especially enjoyed the ribs which can only be described as "smoked to perfection". The gravy in the poutine was packed with flavour without being overly savoury. Mac n cheese was so very cheesy though I found it a bit bland, but perhaps that's because I had the ribs and poutine first. Worth the 40 minute drive!" - Kathleen Z.

Went inside and were provided great service - for takeout we order a full rack of ribs, the Brisket sandwich, the pork Mac n cheese and Jambalaya. Ribs - delicious, smoky and good bark. Brisket sandwich- simple perfection; tender, succulent and perfect bbq sauce. Mac n cheese - actually cheesy, great flavour, generous portion Jambalaya - order this!!! It's a stand out, amazing flavour, a lot of protein - will be ordering this every time." - Richelle M. "I ordered Brisket platter and jambalaya with cornbread and sweet tea.

Daldongnae Diners grill their own meat & seafood at this laid-back Korean restaurant with a woodsy vibe. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Would've normally rated Daldongnae a 4 star for other locations but in Mississauga, they definitely exceeded my expectations. Side dishes were always refilled with an even bigger portion size. We asked for more onions and they gave us a bowl full. Corn, kimchi and egg were refilled once. Servers check up on you for other minor refills. Next time I would skip out on the pork kimchi stew - it was a big bowl but close to half filled as the order." - Michelle M. "My family and I enjoyed this place so much. I can't wait to go back for more delicious food! The staff were polite. It was my first time having Korean bbq and the choices were confusing. We enjoyed the side dishes especially the cheesy corn. The cold noodle salad was great too although it comes unmixed and they gave me a glove to mix in the sauce myself which was surprising but that way I was able to put in just the right amount of spicy sauce. The kimchi fried rice was a big hit with my son. Looking forward to trying their seafood plan cake next time." - Marlene S. "Really like it. I like cheese corn and we filled it several times Servers are very good. The first beef rib on the menu is a little bit thick. Pork belly tastes good. The cold noodle soup is awesome.

Great service, corn bread could be better, but the ribs and sauce is amazing! Beans and slaw are good too, the slaw could be creamier but I think that's more the person that pours the sauce over it when prepped. A win in my book!" - Liberty C. "If you haven't been here for the Monday special, then you definitely need to! For $25+tax, you get a full rack of ribs, a lb of wings, and a large fries or salad. It's enough to feed 2 with some leftovers. We got the fiery honey garlic for the wings and they were a bit spicier than the average hot honey, but not crazy hot. The ribs were delicious and fall of the bone, and the fries were crispy like Costco fries. It can get busy though, so make sure you call ahead if you're looking to get take out!" - Maria L. "I LOVE this place so much. This is the best BBQ place hands down! My usual here is the mini combo platters and nachos. you get half lbs of wings, half lbs of ribs generous amount of crispy fries, corn bread and beans. I can never finish this platter in one sitting but omg its definitely finger licking good. The price is super reasonable for the quality and portion. What's so great about this place is that I discover that they have a special every Monday for 1lb of wings, 1lb of ribs, again generous portion of fries for 25.00 plus tax which is normally double the price. Made to share for two people. I live in Oakville and travel about 20 minute (traffic free) twice a month for the BBQ. This place is awesome...awesome...I love the atmosphere and It's clean. There is only two washroom and they are clean as well. It's a small place, seats about 25 people. Simple dinning space nothing fancy which is great because you don't have to worry about dress code. I do recommend wearing loose pants because you won't be able to stop eating. lol :) The staffs are young and super friendly to everyone and is attentive to your need even while you are eating. I would recommend this place over and over again and again and have offer to take anyone that is looking for some good BBQ.  Although, I like it better eating in the restaurant but during this pendamic I still order it for take-out at least once a month. This is definitely one of my regular places. Please note that during the pendamic I order curb side pick up but normally I would dine in." - Vivian D.

Big Bone BBQ & Wicked Wings One of the first restaurants to bring Southern-style BBQ to Canada. Dig into our wicked wings, riveting ribs, smokin' sides, and signature sauces at one. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "The smoky wings and ribs were very good. The cornbread was very dry, but it was a small part of the meal." - Mark Z. "Best BBQ North of the Mason-Dixon Line! As an American, I am qualified to review these ribs. The ribs have great smokiness and are bursting with flavour. In terms of other ribs I have had in this country, nothing rivals their flavour. The molasses beans were well done and featured bits which is always a sign of good beans. Smoked wings were also good and I truly enjoyed the fried wings with the Alabama Slamma sauce. The fries are battered and have an intense crisp and satisfying (if slightly too oily) fried taste. I don't rate the cornbread as I felt it lacked sufficient moisture. The service was next level though and the girl behind the counter was all smiles. Bottom line, the ribs, wings and beans are the star of the show as are the battered fries when fresh. The dry cornbread can be overlooked due to the stellar service and the fact that they brought ribs that would be decent in Missouri, Texas, or the Carolinas to Canada." - Aaron S.

The Best Pasta Restaurants in Brampton to Satisfy Your Endless Craving for Pasta

The Best Pasta Restaurants in Brampton to Satisfy Your Endless Craving for Pasta

1. Nancy Trattoria Restaurant The restaurant is very popular in the area (there were many take-out customers while we were there). Great food at very affordable prices. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We tried this restaurant for the first time today. We had take-out of Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce, and Gnocchi with Rose Sauce. Both dishes were awesome! All of the pasta noodles are home-made, and so are the sauces. The elderly gentleman prepared the dishes after we ordered, and was very friendly and courteous, and treated us like family. The restaurant is very popular in the area (there were many take-out customers while we were there). Great food at very affordable prices. We'll be doing take-out from this place very frequently now. Highly recommend!" - Ross K. "Took me 5 mins to finish a plate of penne arrabbiata which was extremely delicious. When I came here the first time sauce was a bit watery with extra salt in but because it was closing time and the gentleman is senior I decided to give it another try. Man oh man, I was correct. The best home made sauce I had in a long time. I had the best tasting pasta. I make Italian sauces at home and I can tell that it's a home made sauce. Also, the pizza is extremely good. The base of the pizza (bread) could get addictive which you can't get anywhere else. The pizza is a thin crust pizza. The pizza crust gives sort of a smooth and crusty croissant taste which stays in your mouth for while. Place is run by a senior man who recommends ordering by phone because it takes him 20-30 minutes to make your dish from scratch. However, you can go their have a drink and relax while he prepares your meal. It's not a fine dinning place and the prices are less compared to other restaurants. A pasta dish will cost you $8-$10 depending upon the portion. Also, this place will make you feel like you are visiting your grandpa for a meal. Note: they close early, around 7-8pm. Call before going." - Sunny B. "This little place is the definition of a hidden gem. The husband and wife team (she's Nancy) make Italian food as down home as it gets. The daily lunch plate consists of an average side plate filled with everything they have in the hot table for a very reasonable $9 or $10. And all of it is amazing." - Anthony Nalli ..

They offer homemade Italian cuisine with a touch of modern flare including New York Style Pizza and Wood-Fired Pizza. Food popular here * Veal Sandwich * Stromboli * Italian Plate Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Since recently moving to the GTA from New York City, as a foodie, I've haven't found an enjoyable slice of thin crust New York Style pizza until I tried this restaurant. Service- 5/5 The ladies at the counter were quick, courteous, efficient, and friendly. Food- 5/5 I only tried their NY style plain cheese pizza and it was on point. It's the first slice of pizza in the GTA that I genuinely enjoyed ever. The crust was perfectly baked (not too well done, but not soft or soggy), it had the right amount of sauce, and the right cheese to crust ratio. Ambiance- 5/5 It appears that you can dine in which is great since most restaurants since COVID only offers take out. The restaurant appeared spacious and clean. Constructive criticism- Nothing to criticize! Keep up the good quality and whenever I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by to try their other items." - Michael R. "Fresh. Tasty. Delicious. Definitely would recommend!! My favourite local joint. Have only tried the pizza - would like to try the sandwiches too." - Marie M. "Amazing customer service here as always. The New York Pizza is as close to as the ones in New York you can get in the GTA.  Veal sandwich is a light crisp and doesnt feel heavy/greasy. Pasta is done the authentic Italian way. I happily drive 30 minutes to treat myself and my family here." - Lewis P.

Pomodoro Italian Kitchen Pomodoro Italian Kitchen is a family owned Italian restaurant offering casual dining in a family friendly atmosphere. Food popular here * Veal Sandwich * Meatball Sandwich * Caesar Salad Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Best Lasagna & panzerotti ever.. owner and staff was very friendly. Service was great!!" - Jenny H. "In recent weeks I've kind of sworn off pizza. It got to the point where they all just tasted like rushed garbage with mediocre ingredients and little attention to detail. That all changed with the unbelievable small cheese pizza I ordered from here. It came in warm but I put it in the oven for a few minutes just to give it a little extra love. It really reminded me what a good pizza was supposed to be like. A thin crust with quality cheese that pulls on each bite, sauce that has a distinct flavour, and a crust with an actual crunch instead of a soggy breadstick you have to dip in sauce just to mask its inadequacy. The bruschetta, while a little pricey at $1 per piece, was fresh, well balanced so everything didn't fall off each bite, and had enough crunch that it didn't tear up the roof of your mouth. The veal sandwich was bland and terrible but you can't win 'em all. This is without a doubt the best pizza I've had in Mississauga." - Bucky T. "This is the best pasta and pizza place around. A nice place for a date with a nice and quiet atmosphere. The workers are very friendly. I would recommend the rose sauce with linguini noodles. The lasagna is also very good and cheesy" - Sophie L.

Ordered the seafood linguine with rose sauce and there was sufficient amount of mussels, calamari and scallops. We'll be back for more! Thanks!" - Michelle L. "This was such a lovely restaurant, I've been here twice now with my family and service and food were outstanding both times. I thought the food was great! Both mine and my Dad's were hot when they arrived at our table (always a good thing) and both meals were very flavourful! Some might argue it is a little overpriced however, I disagree as the food is reasonably priced for the outstanding quality. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart and I can honestly say my family and I will be visiting again. Amazing place and a must go if you are ever in this area!" - Emma H.

"We were here for a planned lunch as we came to know they served wood fired pizza. Well, the pizza had all the flavours and crispy base but the centre was a little " not so crispy but soggy" but cooked. The pizza was loaded with all the mentioned toppings it was supposed to have. Well done for the price. We got a large pasta and the box was reasonably sized. Pasta tasted good too. I will be back here" - Anirutha C. "Everything about this place, from the service to the menu, is as straight forward as it comes. The manager was very friendly and attentive. She told us what their most popular pizzas are. We were stuck between two specialty pizzas so she said we could do half and half and allowed us to customize the pizza.   We ordered one pizza - half spicy buffalo chicken and half bianco with lemon pepper aioli drizzle all over. We removed the blue cheese topping. Once we got the pizza, the manager came around and made sure we were happy with the order. Bonus points for it being fired wood pizza. It definitely makes a difference to the taste of pizza. You can literally taste the quality of ingredients in every bite. It had the perfect amount of dough, ingredients and sauces. Great food, friendly service. I will definitely visit again to try the other items on the menu." - Tas M.

I said I had a movie to get to once and was rushing and we were served and given the bill in literally 30 minutes it was great!" - Kate O. "My husband and I were very impressed with this experience. Our waitress was Shanice. She was fast, personable, smiling and friendly. We let her know we had tickets to a movie and she made sure we didn't have to wait for the bill so we wouldn't be late.  My husband ordered fish and chips and got the biggest order we'd ever seen!  I ordered Chicken Parmigiana and again the portion size was huge. The all you can eat bread and salad was done perfectly. The drinks we ordered, I had strawberry dacquiri, he had a rye and coke, were perfect as well. It was very busy, quite a few people waiting as we were because we arrived without reservations. The wait wasn't long at all though as we were seated within 7 minutes. Even though it was very busy, all the staff were smiling and genuinely friendly. Kudos go out to the manager of this location for making sure that customer service is paramount. The washrooms were very clean as was the entire restaurant. It was a very nice dining experience. The only drawback would have been that it was a trifle noisy. But it was busy, there were several birthday celebrations going on in a family style restaurant so it's part of it and we didn't feel it detracted from what we were expecting. We will definitely return again." - Cathy M. Restaurant Info * +1 905-790-0040 * http://www.eastsidemarios.com * 130 Great Lakes Dr Brampton, ON L6R 2K7 Canada * 11:30 AM - 09:00 PM 7.

Our top favs include the tortilla soup, pupusas and yuca con chicharrón.  Everything is made fresh to order. Not the ideal place if you are in a rush or in a large group wanting all your orders out at the same time but it's definitely worth the wait." - Meags R.

Note, his card reader does not accept cards from outside Canada but there is an ATM at a bank a very short distance away." - Bryan A. "Mercadito Latino is a small family owned restaurant. Since it's a small family restaurant, it's never well-staffed, hence, the service is relatively slow. Even though the restaurant feels like it's a hole in the wall, I keep on going back because they serve the BEST Latino food in the City! The food is nothing but excellent! I can honestly tell you that Mercadito is significantly much better than La Fiesta Cafecito if you're debating between the two places. If you are looking for an authentic restaurant, this is the place! Here are my food recommendations: 1) Sopa de Tortilla (Tortilla Soup) 2) Tacos des Res (Beef Taco) - My Go-to for entree 3) Pupusas - my Significant Other's Go-to for entree 4) Corn Tamale (appetizer) 5) Quesadilla des Res - They serve the BEST quesadilla ever!

"I ordered the Kunafa and it was really delicious. The rest of the collection looked so yummy too." - Rihab A. "I went for my first time last night and am I ever glad I did. I tried multiple items by purchasing a small plate. I wasn't very familiar with the items but the lady working was more than happy to assist me in understanding what everything was. It was so delicious and such a great experience. I felt bad as I had many questions yet they were so happy to help. Well worth a visit." - Jason T.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant "First time coming here. I tried many times before but the time was not updated and whenever I would try to go in it would be closed. Now that I know their schedule I will go more often and bring my friends there too. The staff is friendly , they currently have a patio open which is nice due to covid and after corona maybe they will allow indoor seating again. It is a nice bakery in Ottawa south that also offers gluten free items ." - Amster S. "Great place to come sit and eat food. Free parking outside, food and coffee is great. The pricing of everything isn't bad at all. Food tasted great and was fresh. The owner is very friendly and cool to chat with." - Eragon A. "If you love great homemade baking, then this is a great spot. So good, I followed them from Winchester, to Ottawa and now in another part of Ottawa. Everything is delicious!" - Janie M.

Chippers Bakery We create delicious soft half pound cookies with unique flavours. Our desserts are fresh, and baked to perfection. We also make cakes, and other baked goods. Everything is made from scratch! Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Omg! Chippers Bakery has huge cookies that weigh half a pound each cookie!! And they are delicious! And they have cool flavours! I was so excited to try Chippers and I was not disappointed. Cookies are $3.50 each, but if you buy 6 you get a 10% discount (only applies to walk-ins, not pre-orders). I got 6 cookies: Ube, Strawberry Shortcake, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Vegan Apple Crumble, Red Velvet, and Oatmeal Apple Walnut. I really wanted to try the Root Beer cookie, but they didn't have any the day I was there :( Nonetheless, the ones I got were all delicious. They were so soft and full of flavour. I loved them all. However, if I had to pick my top favourites from the ones I got I would say: Vegan Apple Crumble, Strawberry Shortcake and Ube. They have been open for about 6 months, so they are a relatively new business. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The bakery is very small, and there is no seating whatsoever. Street parking only." - Jennifer P. "What an amazing bakery! I got 6 cookies... They're all so tasty. Each is 1/2 a pound and perfectly cooked. Each bite is so dense and chewy and WONDERFUL. Also, I think that they are extremely well priced considering the size and quality. 10/10" - Emma N. "THESE ARE SPECIAL. Who doesn't want a giant cookie? They have a lot of flavour varieties and a discount for walk-ins when you order half or full dozen. Chippers does have delivery too though. We loved the original chocolate chip and the butterscotch toffee WOW. Did I mention that they're half a pound each lol (I got the scale out to be sure). Super nice staff too." - Morgan P. Restaurant Info * https://chippersbakery.com * 1055 Somerset St W Ottawa, ON K1Y 3C4 Canada 4. True Loaf Bread True Loaf Bread is a bakery that offers artisanal breads to the public. The bakery is a very small and humble establishment that offers a variety of different types of breads. They offer everything from traditional loaves of bread to gluten-free varieties of bread. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Tried the raisin and chai spices bread and also the date and fennel one. I LOAF the raisin one! With a little oven time you won't be able to tell it's a day-old bread (price is lovely too, you get 20% off for day-old ones). They sprinkled raisin and spices to the dough very generously, you'll be able to taste them in every single bite. The date and fennel one is a baguette sized bread that looks incredibly beautiful, while the taste is definitely not for everyone, it has a strong fennel taste, which in my opinion is a bit too strong and overshadowed the bread's taste, it feels like I'm eating fennel directly imo, so be careful if you are not a fan of strongly spiced bread, or go grab one now if you love fennel. Definitely going back to try the apple and cider bread! I love the place." - Adrianna L. "Great bread. The khorasan sourdough loaf is standout amazing. They don't seem to offer a white/whole wheat/rye mixed sourdough--the oversized miche is a whole wheat sourdough. I recommend the rye sourdough (it's a rye/ww mix) if you're looking for this type of bread. The rye sourdough is excellent." - Chris T. "The bakery uses fresh, not dried yeast, also ancient grains, organic flours,....and it ends in outstanding bread products.  Try the chili chocolate buns ( A huge hit at my daughters baby shower) or their chai raisin buns, and did I mention the orange chocolate buns?  Outstanding quality and amazing taste.  Worth the drive." - Pat M.

I sent them a few pictures to go by, and they totally nailed it. I had a surprise BDay party for my lovely Mrs, and didnt know what kind of cake to order. I decided on getting a custom cake, shaped and styled according to her favorite book. Sara contacted me back with the details. Her promptness, and respect for my lack of time and excessive amount of questions already gave me good vibes about them. All questions answered, all payment and delivery options fulfilled. She was on time, and helped me decided on the cake filling and flavor. we decided on Chocolate cake with vanilla bean frosting, but it tasted like butter cream. sooo good. And the cake was Gorgeous. Will post pics soon." - Marvin Abdul Hasib S. Restaurant Info * http://indulgencebakery.ca * Ottawa, ON Canada

Gear Doctors Camping Pads Gear Doctors ApolloAir Sleeping Pad is the perfect balance for mobility, comfort, and warmth. It is the same size and weight of a 500 ml water bottle. This sleeping pad is 3.2 inches thick and is a combination of a protective layer, insulation layer, and design layer.  Customer review: I purchased this pad as a backup for my Big Agnus. I go on a Colorado high country hunting trip every Sept. I compared the 2 side by side and have some information for others if interested. Cost The top quality pads are traditionally around $200 but this pad is half of that. Also, this pad comes with an inflation bag. I had to purchase that separate with the Big Agnus as you can see the orange inflater bag is from Sea to Summit. Weight Gear Dr (GD) - 16.8 oz Big Agnus Q Core SLX (BA) - 17.6 oz Size and Shape As you can see, the GD is a little longer and has more of a mummy shape. It also packs down a little smaller. Take into consideration that I have used the BA many times before and that the GD is new and we all know things are smaller new as you can never get them back into the original packaging. Noise This is always the challenge with UL pads. They may be super light, but they sound like you are rolling around on a snare drum. I had the NeoAir pad in the past and it was light as could be but too noisy for me. The BA is slightly quieter and it has a softer feel to the touch. I have not slept on the GD pad yet but in my initial comparison, it does not seem to be significant. Nights on the pad will tell. Considerations and Opinions The BA pad has the ability to inflate it and push a value to let air out a little at a time. This allows easy adjustment to your preferred comfort. The GD pad does not. However, I under inflated the GD pad and then just added air a breath at a time and this was an easy fix. In my opinion, I think this pad will be great for back sleepers. The baffles are left to right. I prefer up and down baffles as (at least in my head) this helps me from rolling off the pad at night. Overall, I really like this pad and plan to test it next month to see how it performs in the mountains. I was not able to rate the sleeping comfort at this time but by initial assessment is positive. I prefer a slightly under-inflated pad to over-inflated for my sleeping comfort. Beginners traditionally inflate to max fill and then the pad is more like a trampoline than a sleeping pad. I made this mistake early in my backpacking but not anymore. Overall, I think this pad has a lot of potential. It's less than half the cost and lighter in weight that my current pad. For the younger cost conscious back sleepers out there, I think this is certainly an item where you can save a few bucks and still get a good UL pad. The cost to weight ratio is excellent. Take the money you save here and put that toward a better bag or quilt. This may also serve the side sleepers out there... Time will tell as to the quality and durability but the company has a lifetime warranty. Overall, I would recommend this purchase and have recommended it to others that are going on the trip with me this Sept. - John Paulson  Price: 99.95

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.

Check Out These Outfit Mix and Match to Keep You Warm During This Year Winter Holiday

Check Out These Outfit Mix and Match to Keep You Warm During This Year Winter Holiday

Suppose you’re planning a winter wonderland trip where you’ll ski on the slopes or ride through the thick snow in Lapland. In that case, you’ll need warmer clothing than if you’re enjoying a city break. So, along with following the advice in this guide, research the typical winter climate of where you are heading. Baselayers When you start packing for Europe in winter, you’ll likely first think about oversized coats and cozy jumpers. However, in the continent’s coldest parts, you’ll need multiple layers to stay warm. Jumpers And Hoodies Next up, pull out all the comfy jumpers and warm hoodies in your wardrobe, as you’ll be wearing these every day. However, as styles of sweaters and cardigans vary, you’ll need to be sure the ones you are bringing are best suited to winter. For example, knit jumpers with large gaps between the knitting or crochet styles won’t be sufficient to retain body heat. Winter Coat Every winter Europe trip calls for a good quality winter coat. However, there are various styles of coats, so which is best for winter traveling Europe? The answer depends on where you’re going and what you’re doing. Suppose you are exploring the city sights and Christmas markets. In that case, this Daily Ritual Teddy Bear Fleece Oversized-Fit Lapel Jacket will keep you feeling toasty in between each glass of mulled wine. Pants You likely won’t need to pack any shorts for your winter Europe trip. However, you will need plenty of thick and warm long pants, like insulated leggings for women and fleece-lined tracksuit bottoms for men. Jeans are also a popular piece of winter apparel in Europe. However, if you’re heading somewhere very chilly, like Sweden or Switzerland, you might need to wear a base layer. Footwear Sneakers and boots are the two primary footwear you will need for winter in Europe. Many winter boots are suitable for both everyday walking and hiking. However, if you plan to do activities in the snow, you’ll need hiking boots with high traction to handle icy surfaces. The SOREL Women’s Explorer II Joan Faux Fur Boots are super versatile, thanks to their suede and faux fur design. Thus, you can wear them anywhere, from hiking trails to the high street.

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.

6 Unique Hotels in Honolulu, Hawaii

1. Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head Nearby restaurants: * South Shore Grill * Pioneer Saloon * Michel's At the Colony Surf Nearby attractions: * Kapiolani Park * Kaimana Beach * Diamond Head Luau Let’s see how people review this hotel Absolutely my favorite boutique hotel.  Check-in to check-out could not have gone better Room are huge, we had a small ocean view and great view of Diamond Head. Parking is included so of course we rented a Jeep! Checked out beach chairs and beach towels headed to the North Shore for Ted’s breakfast- best breakfast on the island.  We got the omelet- it is like a breakfast lasagna( plenty of food for 3), pastry items for later Went to beach on North Shore watched the surfers Drinks next door on outdoor patio Brian in restaurant was fabulous Enjoyed our 2 complimentary glasses of wine every evening Great breakfast at barefoot beach cafe very close to hotel Christieann, Sarah and Brian were fabulous This was not our first trip to The Lotus and hopefully won’t be our last Recommend Giovanni’s shrimp truck north shore and local eatery Diamond Head Market and Grill Great 48 hour trip to the Lotus - 163juditht After extensive research about hotels in Honolulu, I decided on the Lotus for our first vacation trip since the beginning of the pandemic. The Lotus experience surpassed all my expectations. What a fabulous location, steps away from two beaches, a world-class French restaurant, Ily coffee and Italian espresso maker in the room, fancy and convenient beach chairs and luxurious towels for the beach days. We walked everyday to the Barefoot Beach cafe nearby, the most scrumptious local restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with live music, ever! Walking 15 minutes more through the gorgeous park with lush trees and families having picnics, you get to the craziness, tourist-drenched Waikiki. What also makes the Lotus unique is its staff: Jessica (the fantastic Jessica, what glowing energy!), Christie (high beautiful vibe), Lita, Mari, Marilou, Zee, Rogie, Lester, George, Mila! Thank you for having us! I will come back to stay with you, no other hotel in Honolulu. - denisegK5098XU Worked with me three years to book and refund cancellation during Covid ordeal.  Christieann a real gem.  Lovely Hotel, in beautiful park setting with ocean views.  Highly recommend complete with song birds, restaurant and block to Beach. - frankdM7530CF Hotel Info * view website * 1 (808) 201-3180 * 2885 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815-4002 2. The Breakers Hotel Nearby restaurants: * Honolulu Cookie Company * Poke Bar * Island Vintage Shave Ice Nearby attractions: * Breakout Waikiki Escape Rooms * US Army Museum of Hawaii * Fort DeRussy Beach Park Let’s see how people review this hotel My husband and I recently stayed at The Breakers for the second time. We were originally searching for a hotel with old Hawaiian vibes and this place was perfect. We didn’t want a busy high rise resort. Built in 1954 it’s like a time capsule. There were original features in the rooms that we loved. Our room was very clean. There are beautifully kept gardens surrounding the pool. The beach is only 1 block away. We were able to walk to most places we wanted to go to and the bus stop was close by to get to other areas. There’s an ABC store right across the road which was handy. All the staff were so friendly and very helpful. It was a great quiet retreat after walking the busy streets. We absolutely love this place and already can’t wait to go back. - SimH77 We are loyal Breakers customers. My wife and i have been coming here for many years (missed the last 2 due to stupid Covid), we have introduced our son and daughter to this gem and this year our grandkids. This time around we stayed for two weeks and my family , six of them, arrived on the second week to surprise my wife for her birthday. The Breakers staff were all in on the setup and it all added to a wonderful and special time. We caught up with some regulars and made new friends with other regulars, my grandkids absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere and the pool. Much has been said about the dated decor and noise level but its the location, cleanliness, caring staff and old time  Hawaiiana atmosphere that rises above it all that will always bring us back. Also, the hotel is conveniently located on bus routes, within walking (20-30 minutes) distances to Ala Moana Mall, saturday kaka’ako farmer’s market, Rainbow Drive In, etc. There are tons of affordable meal options when you don’t want to splurge like the Steak Shack, Foodland Farms, Don Quijote supermarket and Iyasume Musubi. Local delights like Poke, Acai bowls , bento boxes and musubis are so delicious and cheap and close by to the hotel. - simonlU6602CH This little hidden gem in the heart of Waikiki did not disappoint! I love everything retro with mid-century vibes. Not your cookie-cutter slick, modern hotel, but that's why I love it. Staff at front desk were very warm and friendly. The bed and was comfortable and clean, as was the bathroom. I had a room on the 2nd floor with a lanai to sit out on and enjoy the Hawaiian breeze. There is an ABC store right oppisite, and the beach is super close. Next door is Waikiki Tea, which has delicious tea lattes and crepe cakes. Wasabi sushi restaurant on hotel premises was also very good. Stayed here for a long layover Sydney to LAX. This will be my place to stay on future visits to see family in Australia. - razzydear Hotel Info * 250 Beach Walk, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815 3. Hotel La Croix Waikiki Nearby restaurants: * Poke Bar * Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar * Ruth's Chris Steak House Nearby attractions: * Breakout Waikiki Escape Rooms * Waikiki Beach Walk * Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu Let’s see how people review this hotel Super helpful staff, very accommodating. Arrived early and got me all sorted. Many thanks Anna. Great place. Would recommend.  Hawaii is beautiful, loving the weather and looking forward to my stay.... - kieranw839 I stayed in a penthouse suite and wow! Perfect, unobstructed view of Waikiki beach and the ocean since there’s a park right in front. The front desk staff are great and ESPECIALLY the turn down service from Mhila! Thank you for your kindness and attention! You replenished my room with anything I needed with a smile and warn tone. Thanks! Will come back anytime! - gwillsie22 Anna. She was so kind and friendly. The hotel is clean and very convenient location. My choice of this hotel was absolutely correct to start my staying in Honolulu. I would love to stay here again! Thank you. - YTT0709 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (808) 500-7506 * 2070 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815-2048 4. The Modern Honolulu Nearby restaurants: * Tropical Tribe * Lappert's Ice Cream * goofy cafe & dine Nearby attractions: * Honolulu Cookie Company * Friday Night Fireworks at Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort * Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon Let’s see how people review this hotel From check-in to checkout , everyone was friendly, helpful and always trying to make our stay great. Fantastic beaches and views, the pool and restaurant were both excellent. Will stay here on our next trip.  - v8doctor2000 Stayed for a few nights before moving off island and it was an awesome place to spend my last days on Oahu. Room was cool and the view was amazing. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Great location with beaches, shopping, and plenty of dining choices nearby. Unfortunately I didn’t take advantage of the pool or the other amenities The Modern offers but I’ll most likely be staying here next time I visit Oahu and I’ll be sure to check everything out then.  - mikeinkalaoa Love this hotel - its a little off the main strip but closer to Ala Moana for shopping. There is no beach access, but you don't need it with the epic pools that The Modern has. I will happily spend all day poolside as all their loungers have umbrellas + food service. Can't wait to come back.  - amjaynz Hotel Info * 1775 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815-1603 5. Shoreline Hotel Waikiki Nearby restaurants: * STRIPSTEAK Waikiki * Honolulu Cookie Company * Poke Bar Nearby attractions: * Breakout Waikiki Escape Rooms * Mai Tai Bar at Royal Hawaiian Hotel * Waikiki Beach Walk Let’s see how people review this hotel I was incredibly impressed at all of the eco-friendly steps this hotel has taken without any compromise to luxury.  I loved the water-refill station with sparkling water option, zero-waste amenities in the bathroom and the dole whip check-in treat!  The restaurant that is attached, although not a part of the hotel itself, is also great.  The perfect location to access the beach and downtown honolulu,  A great spot for the eco-conscious and zero-waste traveler.  Will be back! - mattiemae2022 I stayed at the Shoreline twice in 2022 for a total of 15 nights and couldn't recommend it more highly. The location is fantastic. Right off the main streets of Waikiki so there is peace and quiet, but it is just a few minutes walk to my favorite restaurants, stores, and the main Waikiki beach. The amenities are thoughtful, with a Sodastream filtered water station that I utilized heavily, a rooftop pool, free snacks and Dole whip upon checkin, and daily specials like yoga, cotton candy, and popcorn. The staff are all friendly and helpful, and room service did a great job daily. Justin at the front desk made sure I had a great stay. The hotel is vibrant and the vibe is friendly. The value is also great for Waikiki. I've stayed in numerous hotels and Airbnbs in the area and from now on will continue to stay at the Shoreline Waikiki. - eddieb263 I booked through a third party site where I was a VIP member and was upgraded upon check in, which was really nice. The location is faultless - everything you could want around you, but without the exorbitant price of staying at a "higher end" hotel. Everything seemed to be a 5min walk away from me! Food, shopping, beach etc. Would return just for the location alone. The lobby also had a dole whip machine (payable but apparently you get a free sample upon check in - we did not get it and I had to ask though). The lobby sodastream water machine was also a welcome amenity to have.  - Resort35140503775 Hotel Info * view website * 1 (808) 931-2444 * 342 Seaside Ave, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815-2527 6. Paniolo at the Equus Nearby restaurants: * Tropical Tribe * Lappert's Ice Cream * goofy cafe & dine Nearby attractions: * Honolulu Cookie Company * Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon * Waikiki Starlight Luau Let’s see how people review this hotel As visitors to the islands, Renee and Puka from Equus Hotel where very polite and informational .   The aloha spirit was there from the time we drove into the parking lot until the time we left.  Thank you all for making our stay wonderful . - J8350TAchriss Great hotel, friendLy staff, clean spacious rooms, small pool on prem. Near Ala Moana beach and the shore. I’d def stay again. Good Covid protocols in place, house keeping as needed. Might not be great for little kids, but teens and adults are good. Limited food at the bar, but there is an ABC a few doors down that has everything you need. - CareyLeeS The hotel is right down the street from the ala Moana shopping center. Great centralized location to Waikiki. Wonderful staff who is attentive to your needs and super friendly. Great little bar downstairs. Will definitely stay there again and you should too! - coffeetravelandwork Hotel Info * view website * 1696 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96815-1460

Right on Bourbon Street, we ate in the main restaurant, but they also have a rooftop bar that was busy while we were there. Everything on the menu here looked fantastic, but we came specially to try the oysters - they were so delicious! We did a half/half of the Oyster Rockefeller & the Mambo's Famous Oysters and absolutely demolished them. While both were delicious, the cheese blend for the Mambo's Famous Oysters pushed it over the edge. They also make a good crab cake. Drinks were also pretty good here. The Bayou Sangria was absolutely delicious & the Decatur Street lemonade & Hurricane Remy were also big winners. Highly recommend." - Alyssa A. "The food was so good and the service was great!! Love that they serve until late night!" - Melissa R. "Let me start off by saying, we came in to go straight to the bar, we had just went to another and was given water as our vodka.

If you love fried chicken, don't go to NOLA without stopping in Willie Mae's. We had the white meat 3 piece and added some wings, order of fries, Mac and cheese, and rolls. The chicken was crispy on the outside, full of flavor with a little heat on the back end, but the best part was so JUICY on the inside. The Mac and cheese was moist, cheesy and reminds you of a dish from your grandmas kitchen. The rolls were soft and fries were hot. This will be a staple when we are in the city." - Kristina L. "Fried chicken and sandwiches were delicious.  Sides are average for southern standards." - David C. "Everyone keep telling us they have the best fried chicken in America. Well I'm not from the show me state but you gots to show me. I checked out the website and saw they received this award from Food Network and the Travel Channel.

I was thrilled to find The Will and the Way (thanks Yelp!). Walked in, trendy/alt vibe, super welcoming. Cool chalk board quotes on the walls. All the seats inside are at the bar or at a long counter so it's perfect for solo travelers. There was also an outdoor courtyard with tables. The bartenders were really kind and suggested the Mezcal cocktail called the Sleepless in Siesta, which was mezcal, peychaud's aperitivo, grapefruit, lime, and orange bitters. Super delicious! I decided that I liked the vibe so much that I stayed for dinner. I ordered the Louisiana Hot Chicken, which came with Yellow Corn Grits and Swiss Chard - incredibly good. Not too spicy, just the perfect amount of fried, and honestly the Swiss Chard was SO GOOD (I don't usually like cooked greens). I devoured the entire plate and ordered a side of fries because YOLO. Great place, would absolutely come back. Definitely 5/5 for solo travelers!" - Maggie R. "This place was just what we needed. It's steps from Bourbon Street, but tucked away in its unique little space. The drinks were delicious and not overly sweet like most of what we had in NOLA, and our food was delicious. Think elevated Asian bar food: pickle plate, loaded fries and sticky spare ribs." - Ashley H. "Welcoming bar and staff. Will definitely return. Asked the bartender if she could make me a mock tail and she knocked my socks off. My only complaint is that I didn't ask her what it was called. Loved all the chalkboard paint and writing and overall very cool and chill vibes. Music was also on point. I was bummed to leave at closing.

8 Ice Cream Shops in Italy

1. Giolitti Giolitti is a well-known café and pastry shop, and reportedly the oldest ice cream parlor in Rome, Italy. It was founded in 1890 by Giuseppe and Bernardina Giolitti and opened their first creamery in Salita del Grillo. Soon after, they became the supplier of the Italian royal family. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "AMAZING gelato! This was the best gelato of our entire trip to Italy and was well worth waiting in line for. But my husband did get the "Nutella" flavor and it was pure Nutella, not Nutella flavored gelato, so just be aware for that." - Taryn M. "Pay 1st, get your ticket then head back to the gelato counter. Know what you want, they get busy and annoyed if you aren't ready" - Patrick B. "Amazingly delicious salted caramel gelato! Easily best gelato I've had in all of Italy" - William S. Restaurant Info * +39 06 699 1243 * http://www.giolitti.it * Via degli Uffici del Vicario 40 00186 Rome Italy * 07:00 AM - 01:30 AM 2. Gelateria dell'Angeletto Contemporary renovation of a traditional space, repurposed to serve freshly made gelato. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Delicioso. We liked it so much, we went back the next day. Being around the block from our hotel doesn't hurt either." - Sam L. "One of the best gelaterias I've had in Rome or Paris. Got the black cookie and stracciatella" - Lauren C. "This is the best Gelato in Rome in our families opinion.  We spent 3 nights in Rome recently and visited this place twice.  Small location, not too far from the Forum and Coliseum.  The owner was incredible nice and patient.  Each size cup/cone could include up to 3 flavors of the creamiest and tastiest gelato.  Flavors from Lemon Basil, to Peach to Nutella to Rum Chocolate.  All were delicious.  If you are visiting the Forum and/or Coliseum, take the extra 5 minute walk over to Gelateria dell' Angeletto.  You will not be disappointed." - Pam A. Restaurant Info * +39 06 487 4760 * Via dell Angeletto 15 00184 Rome Italy * 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM 3. Il Capriccio di Carla Great ice cream, for those of you who are looking for unique flavors. Lots of vegan options. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "So yummy, and the woman who served us was very kind. Definitely recommend going here!" - Alison P. "Such a wonderful gelato shop! The flavors are so unique, I had the Cremino nocciola con cremoso scuro a strati + mango - random combination but I wanted a chocolatey flavor and a fruity one - and a cannoli. Gelato was creamy and so flavorful. And the cannoli was surprisingly yummy, I devoured the whole thing within a few minutes. The gal working, not sure what her name was but she was pretty young, was so sweet and took the time to chat with my boyfriend and I. We had a great conversation and I think that really topped off my experience here!" - Katrina F. "Not the closest to our hotel, but worth every step to get there!  Gelato was outstanding!  We went there three times during our four days in Rome.  The gelato there was a highlight of our trip." - Jennifer S.

The sorbets are composed of nearly 50 percent fruit; meanwhile, organic eggs, milk, and cream comprise the traditional crema flavors. The standout here is the white chocolate tiramisu atop a milk-chocolate-filled wafer cone. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We were on vacation in Italy over the summer and were fortunate enough to find this place!  Many thanks to the sweet waitress at Marigold who told us about La Romana! The gelato is incredible.  My favorite, nocciola was the best I've ever had! We also tried mango and strawberry, and ... The telltale sign for good gelato- pay attention to who is in line!! Are they all tourists? If so, Run! Don't walk away.. At La Romana the large majority of patrons were locals.  And surprisingly the staff were still pretty patient with those who did not speak Italian very well.  Other gelato places will rush you and get frustrated with too many questions. This is not in a super touristy section, more of a residential area, but it's worth the trip!!" - Michele L. "One of my favorite gelato places in Rome for sure! The staff is a bit unfriendly and a bit impatient, but the gelato is very light and delicious and not overly sweet. I love the Biscotta dela Nonna flavor. Their cones are wafer cones which aren't my favorite. Nevertheless, I give this place 5 stars." - Kathy H. "Everyone says every place in Rome is the best they have ever tasted of this and the best of that..it's almost becoming a neutral word by now...I guess one has to see Who posted what and what experience they had in food and restaurants around the world...would be nice to have some foodie qualifications I guess now on to this place: I really don't want to wait in the line up any more!! Don't come here! It's no good!!  The 20 minute line up is a con! Really the gelato is ...ok ok fine ITS THE BEST IN THE WOOOOOOOOORLD but then what do I know about anything...ask someone with a name like Joe...." - Mario M.

"Everyone goes to get gelato in Rome and swears that one place is better than another.  Well I loved two equally.  This one was located next to my hotel and I went due to convenience.  BUT after trying a several places GO HERE.  2.5 euros for a small cup (cheap) and amazing amazing taste.  I had the dark chocolate and pistachio.   LOVED IT!!!!" - Lana T.

So many unique flavors, too many choices and very happy that I can get this in Beverly Hills too!" - Maylee W.

Avocado, lime and wine - amazing complication of flavors!!  Can't wait to come again." - Dkuilan .. Restaurant Info * +39 06 580 3615 * http://www.gelateriafatamorgana.it * Via Roma Libera 11 00153 Rome Italy 7. Gelateria S. M. Maggiore Great spot for a delicious cup or cone of gelato and a soft drink. They offer 20 plus flavors and one is sure to please. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "A small cup with two flavors was more than enough Gelato for me. I got strawberry and chocolate chip, and my goodness. This was a combination I didn't know I needed. Both were amazing and complimentary. But the strawberry really stood out. I'd love to just keep going here to try all the flavors. They take cash or card so don't worry if you don't have any euros. The line was kind of long since it's a tiny shop and there was only one employee. Well worth the wait!" - Danielle G. "This was such a large portion of gelato for the small size, which definitely helps explain the line out the door - even late at night. For the small size, I got 2 flavors (pistachio and melon) for 3€. The pistachio was amazing and had chunks of real pistachio in it. The melon flavor was also very strong. Large selection of vegan options (all the fruit flavors). Lady taking our order was curt, but got the job done." - Grace L. "First time having gelato in Italy and have been back twice because it is all creamy and full of flavor.They have 20 plus flavors and also offer  choice of cup or cone for gelato.The tiramisu is sheer perfection taste just like your eating a fresh serving of tiramisu." - Michelle L. Restaurant Info * +39 06 474 4267 * Via Cavour, 95 00184 Rome Italy 8. Magnum Pleasure Store In an amazing location nearby Trevi, recommended you should try magnum ice cream stick! Let’s see how people review this restaurant "I've been here twice already and both times were fantastic!! The quality of the chocolate and ice cream is so good!! You get to choose from vanilla or chocolate and three toppings. There are lots of photo props/ instagram opportunists inside the store as well, if you're looking for that. Also very affordable, something around 6 euros?" - Annette M. "Definitely a must try when in Rome. This place is the best and I would go everyday in my life if I lived here. So good and you can customize your entire ice cream." - Kristina S. "Better than gelato!!! Yes, I said it!!! While in Rome, we ate gelato at least ten times in four days! When in Rome ... And then something caught me completely off guard. We walked past a store that had the Magnum logo on it, the same Magnum ice cream bars I eat literally every week in America. Wait ... they have a store where they make a Magnum bar from scratch? And the customer gets to custom design it? OH MY GOODNESS!!! In a counterintuitive order, you begin your experience by paying, then select up to three toppings, and finally choose the vanilla or chocolate ice cream base. Backward from the American ice cream experience, but who cares? It works! I designed the perfect ice cream bar by choosing the meringue bits, the caramel cubes, and the mini-brownies. From a hidden freezer, the young man who spoke perfect English pulled out a naked vanilla ice cream bar on a stick. I watched as he dipped it in the most beautiful liquid milk chocolate (called classic), quickly hardening into a crunchy shell (they also offer white chocolate and dark chocolate shells). The toppings were added, and on request he drizzled white chocolate on top. It's almost sacrilege to make this statement, but I would skip all the amazing gelaterias in Rome just to eat at the Magnum Pleasure Store again. It's hard to beat gelato in the country that invented it, but the perfect ice cream bar simply beat it fair and square. If one person reads this review, goes to the Magnum store, and has a perfect 5 experience, I've done my job." - William W. Restaurant Info * Via Tomacelli 13 00186 Rome Italy

Well, he was right! I'm never frying my own chicken again! Absolutely delicious. He paired it with the Mac n cheese and string beans. He really does love me !!!" - Tawanna T. "Just wonderful! For one, fried chicken is not one of my go-to eats... there's just quite a lot that I don't like about fried chicken: it could be dry, salty, too crispy, too breaded, too oily.  But Charles defied the odds! I placed a catering order through the website and was able to efficiently serve a 30 person party who gobbled up ever morsel.  And as a gift, they even added complimentary cornbread... which I was foolish enough not to try, but my boyfriend seemed to really enjoy. The chicken was a big winner and the macaroni as well.  The macaroni and cheese was perfect!  Again, not too salty, not too cheesy, not too eggy, not under or over seasoned.  A great feat for a 35 person serving.  I had guests just piling their plates with it! I am so pleased to have had Charles suggested to me and would happily try out their other offerings in the future." - Natisha C. "This spot has been on my radar for quite some time now but living in Brooklyn I've never really had time until now. I was able to order ahead and save myself some time. Upon arrival I was greeted by an extremely friendly staff who made me feel like they were lifelong friends of mine. I ordered the the three piece chicken with baked Mac n cheese and collard greens.

1. La Bodega de Los Secretos Elevated Mediterranean dishes served in an atmospheric 1600s cellar with brick-lined dining alcoves. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "La Bodega de Los Secretos is located inside a three hundred year old tunnel in the heart of Madrid.  Not surprisingly, the atmosphere within and without is quite unique and more than a bit special - they'll happily give you a tour if you ask for one :-) Our dining experience here was exceptional from beginning to end - the service was impeccable and the food was simply amazing! Everything we tried that evening tasted wonderful, but the duck was extraordinary!  The prices here are more than a little on the high side, but given the quality it's worth every Euro :-) I wouldn't hesitate to return at my next opporutnity, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for something exceptional and a bit different!" - Diane K.

It was in a basement that used to be an old wine cellar." - Alexis M. "This one has it all! A unique atmosphere, fantastic service, and spectacular food. The interior is like dining in a luxurious wine cellar. The lighting and brickwork lends to a romantic and elegant setting. The service was great. Our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful with recommendations. The menu is not overwhelming at two pages. You have some starters to share, some rice and pasta dishes, fish, and meat. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and extremely well prepared. Everything was very flavorful and was cooked perfectly. Of course they have several desserts and a fantastic wine list (although the wine seemed a tad overpriced). We loved it and would certainly return." - Matt C.

The fancy drinks were pretty cool as well. I recommend making a reservation cause it's really popular." - Paul D. "Wow!  What a cool experience.  This place is unlike anything you'd expect in  a traditional setting like Madrid.  Felt like something out of a movie (Alice in Wonderland) to be precise.  Lol  from the drinks to the food everything was delicious and thank goodness because it was definitely one of the more obscure places to go to and the ambiance felt so vibrant. The hostess seated us inside and downstairs and it was comfortable. What we had: The Blonde Sangria The Tacos The Octopus The begger's purse pasta (the only pasta dish on the menu) sorry if I'm mis-labeling it. All of the dishes come in some sort of fun bowl/dish.  This is certainly a place to visit for a fun evening." - Valerie G. "This is such a great tapas bar. The inside is whimsical and very pink hence the name but very fun. My table ordered a pitcher of white sangria and it was very tasty. All of the crafted drinks seem to come in crazy glasses which is also very cool. The patatas bravos were great and special mention to the pulpo because there was a hefty serving of octopus and I left very satisfied with my meal.

Nina Pasta Bar Intimate, laid-back Italian restaurant offering a variety of pasta dishes, small plates & wine. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "I don't think I've ever been more excited to write a review for a restaurant. But if I could, I would give Nina Pasta bar all the stars! The restaurant is on a nice small street, so while wandering the area we just happened to stumble upon it on our first day in Madrid. When I saw that it was authentic pasta, I figured it would be great to give it a try, and I'm so glad that we did. We went on a Sunday, the same day as El Rastro, huge weekly flea market in the La Latina neighborhood. The streets were packed and so was Nina. However, we snagged a large community table in the back. One important tip about going on Sunday- they have a limited menu due to the amount of people coming because of El Rastro. The menu offers 2-3 tapas, and only 2 lunch options. But don't worry because both options are AMAZING. Their carbonara and Gnocci are to die for! We also had tinto de Verano to drink (sangria) that was also really yummy. We loved this place so much that on our last full day we had to return for one more meal! We went on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch, perfect time because it wasn't crowded and they also had their full menu available. We were happy to be greeted by the same lovely servers who remembered us from Sunday. My fiancé went with the carbonara again and I tried one of their daily specials, and OMG I am so glad so did. They offered a pappardelle black truffle and parmesan pasta and it was life changing to say the least. I spent time thinking about how I can bring some back to the US. I also tried to savor each bite by eating very slowly lol. During that meal we also had the gnocchi bravas, their take on the classic patatas bravas. That also was amazing, and a nice change since we'd been eating the traditional bravos all week. Please, please, please if you're in Madrid stop by Ninas Pasta Bar for lunch. You will not regret it and you probably will think about the pasta for the rest of your trip, like I did!!" - Canon C. "The pasta is made fresh in house. The owner was our waiter and informed us of her grandmothers family recipes. We felt that we were accommodated to in a very compassionate manner. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. Portions are a little small but the flavors are completely explosive and have you craving for more!" - Andy J.

6 Restaurants You Must Know in Charlotte

1. Counter- A dining experience that merges your senses into an immersive mix of sound, taste, art, and hands-on involvement. Food popular here * Pork Belly * Sisig * Pea Dish Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We had been waiting to go to Counter for quite some time. We finally got there and it did NOT disappoint. Absolutely worth the wait! The entertainment, the hospitality and the food were exquisite. What an amazing experience for all. Chef Sam and team knocked it out of the park. Thrilled to see the exciting next chapter for them in their new space!" - Alex N. "Have been here multiple times and every experience has been excellent and consistently good. Went for anniversary dinner with the wife and they went out of their way to make it a great experience including a handwritten note congratulating us. I enjoy just picking a few appetizers off the menu and pairing with a couple drinks. Tuna, shrimp, and fries are my favorites! We'll continue to support Counter with future visits." - Calvin S. "I found out about this amazing restaurant from followTK (dot com) and learned that I could use my Chase Sapphire credit card points to pay for this dinner, wine, & tip making this essentially a FREE meal! (And the restaurant got paid!) It was a fabulous way to use our points.   Honestly, if you like dinner with a show and some art thrown in, you'll love this super creative meal.  Ours was a choreographed "Cinema" themed meal with story, light changes, and music to complement the dishes that not only looked amazing and on theme but tasted out of this world.   This is NOT a fancy dinner in the sense of dress up and enjoy intimate conversation with your guest.  It is being seated counter-style facing the show and something constantly going on for 2 hours. The plating of the food with a brief description of the sustainability or the rarity of the dish was beautifully done.   This style of meal is well known in NYC, SF, and LA.  Chef Sam and the team do an excellent job in their creation here in CLT.   Counter- changes the theme up quarterly and has some pop-up themes as well to keep it exciting and fresh.  Reservations are required and prepaid.  If you are considering counter- know what you are getting into, they will knock your socks off with creative, thoughtful (and scientific) dishes that you will never find at any other restaurant in CLT.  You are there for a show and it is well paced, delicious, and only experienced with a handful of people, so a fairly private event.   I want a membership, Chef Sam, if you open up more spots!  Thank you for bringing this to Charlotte.  I wish you much success and cannot wait to come back." - Kim S.

Good experience every time I have been here." - Evan G. "6 almost 7 years in Charlotte and we had by this place many times and said we wanted to eat here but never made it, until tonight what Brittany and her husband invited us and boy could I just kick myself. This is just not a restaurant it is a dining "experience", darn near of the floor staff I believe are Italian, the ambiance is what I imagine a fine Italian restaurant would feel like. We all ordered different selections so we could share, the bread service is just wonderful with the white beans, the Chardonnay (Italian) we had was just so damn good, we had the ceasar salad and 4 pasta dishes and all changed them to the house made pasta, we had the new squid dish, new presentation tonight, so perfectly cooked. You know as well as I do if you love squid 30 seconds over or under and it is terrible. No problem here! Just so perfect. The Maitre'd, our server Fernando the rolling Stones dude at the bar(aka Owner/Manager?) all so damn personable! was just awesome to be part of the ambiance and do not let me forget the young lady host who gave just the right amount of sparkle. We have many other Italian places we like in town, Dolche, Aqua E Vino, Etc. And in their own right are all very good but the experience of this place is in my opinion 2nd to none.

This is a very nice restaurant with a great wait staff.  Everyone friendly and courteous. Yummy Bread served to start - with oil to dip.  We were served water first. I appreciate that you not only get water but they leave behind a bottle for refills.  I didn't like that the water was less than room temperature. The food made up for it.  Everything was delicious.  No complaints amongst the table. There was very little that was boxed to go. Well, except a cannoli because we were too full to eat desert there.   Try it out. You won't be disappointed. I recommend making reservations and asking for a booth or you can risk rubbing elbows with another table within feet of you. Enjoy!" - Suzanne A. "My boyfriend and I chose this as our first date night spot shortly after moving to Charlotte. We chose it based on comparing their menu to a few other Italian places. The fact that they offered eggplant parmesan drew us there since that is my top favorite Italian dish. We ordered an appetizer from the mozzarella bar: the stracciatella with an accompaniment of Peppadew peppers stuffed with goat cheese and mascarpone. Our server recommended the peppers and we were not disappointed! Major flavor punch from the peppers that was nicely balanced by the cheese filling. The entrees we ordered were the pork-wagyu meatballs and spaghetti for him and the eggplant parm for me, with a side of radiators pasta with vodka sauce instead of the spaghetti. The serving size of these plates was unexpected. I knew immediately that my plate would turn out to be at least 3 meals for me. Our food all tasted fresh and very flavorful. The eggplant tasted much different than the majority of eggplant I'd had at other restaurants. It was much fresher! I was also highly impressed by the vodka sauce on the pasta. Last but not least, our server, Jameson was phenomenal. From beginning to end, he made us feel welcome and at ease. He checked on us at the right times, made recommendations when asked, that felt authentic and not rehearsed and overall, he took our dining experience to the next level. We can't wait to come back to try additional dishes as well as the mozzarella presentation." - Kat M. "Fantastic food and Great ambience. They make their own pasta. The mozzarella appetizers were outstanding. For the entrees, they are very flexible so you can create your own!" - Pat J.

6 Delicious Restaurants You Must-eat in Berlin, Germany

1. Aigner Gendarmenmarkt Fine-dining restaurant with dark wood paneling serving Austro-German cuisine, including game dishes. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Stayed in Berlin for 4 days and Aigner was absolutely the best meal that we had.  I had the Aigner Schnitzel and my wife had chicken.  The schnitzel and accompanying potato salad was some of the best food that I have ever eaten.  So glad we chose Aigner's. Also ordered the chocolate lava cake and ice cream for dessert.  This place does not disappoint!" - Jesse C. "When looking for an authentic German meal in Berlin, we had a bit of difficulty. One, because yelp isn't very big in Berlin and two, because reviews of places were always mixed. However, we did find Aigner on yelp and made a reservation after checking out the menu. The location is pretty central, being in the most beautiful square of Berlin: Gendarmenmarkt. We went to Berlin during the Christmas season, so we had a great view out the window of the Christmas market happening right outside. The staff was very lovely and helpful to American tourists who unfortunately only speak English. For drinks, I had the dry Riesling, which was crisp. My sister got the Apple cider cocktail with the champagne. They served bread with goose fat before the entrees arrived, and we quickly ate that treat. My sister got the Aigner Wiener schnitzel, which was classically yummy. I got the special, which was a roasted duck, with potato dumpling, sautéed greens, beets and and a roasted apple. It was absolutely delicious and I would recommend getting this, or even the roasted goose version of the dish. It felt very German-Christmasy!" - Alicia P.

Brauereigaststätte Leibhaftig Simply German cuisine, with a good craft beer. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "The owner had his birthday while we were there so the experience in the restaurant was extra nice. There was a good atmosphere. A small, cozy and warm atmosphere surrounds the restaurant. The waitress was informal in a nice, refreshing way. The food was good, truly Bavarian food." - Emma R. "I read the Yelp reviews and made my way over here. This part of town has become my favorite area in Berlin. The restaurant did not disappoint. I was traveling alone and sat at the bar. I asked for tapas recommendations. I ordered three of the waiter's choice (that were vegetarian). I'm not sure what I got, but it all was *exquisite.* I also ended up in a multilingual conversation that was fantastic and we closed the place down. It was absolutely fantastic and I will come here again. Do know, it is quite small. I'm sure it can be impossible to get into in high tourist season or on a weekend. (I went on a Thursday in early September)." - David E. "A little scary because it's outside the tourist area. Super cute and great beer. Not a wheat beer person and the weisbeir was amazing. The ipa and the dunkel were very good. We did German tapas...only to think that was a Spanish thing. I was wrong. The pretzel dumping was so good! I mean everything we had was very good. Veal sausage, Camembert, meatloaf and pretzel dumpling." - Kathleen M. Restaurant Info * +49 30 54815039 * http://www.leibhaftig.com * Metzer Str. 30 10405 Berlin Germany * 06:00 PM - 12:00 AM 3.

The assortment of cheese, bread and meats would be difficult to consume in one sitting, but regardless of what I put on my plate it proved delicious. The salmon and brie on a soft roll was my favorite combination out of their selection. Their omelet station was quick and attentive and I remain impressed with the fresh bread they had on display.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant "It's rare you find a true hidden gem, but the restaurant at the Rossi Hotel is worthy of the title. Don't let the hotel lobby vibe put you off. The food is of the highest quality. Fresh ingredients sourced from a private farm and prepared with care and artistry make for surprisingly delicious meal. At other restaurants you might expect to pay 1.5 or 2x for this quality of food, but the unpretentious setting and the nature of the business (which supports youths with handicaps and trains them in the kitchen) means you get your money's worth and more. We started with a pumpkin soup which was so fresh it felt like it had been a pumpkin minutes before it was served. For our mains I had a delicious pork knuckle (a must when visiting Berlin) and my wife had the duck. Somehow pork knuckle, sauerkraut, pea mash and mustard were made *much* better than the sum of their parts. The duck was similarly extraordinary. We finished the meal with a lemon tart with a beautiful plating and equally wonderful set of flavors. If you're near the HBF, don't miss it!" - Ian D.

7 New Orleans Jazz Bars That Customers Love

1. Preservation Hall The Preservation Hall is a traditional New Orleans Jazz restaurant. The restaurant is located in the French Quarter and is open daily from 11am to 10pm. Preservation Hall is a traditional New Orleans Jazz restaurant located in the French Quarter. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "When we booked I thought it was going to be more of a sit down, restaurant style. We were a little surprise when we walked in and they said "no drinks" and the seating was some simply wooden benches. To be honest, we were a little skeptic that we just fell into a tourist trap. Happy to say that we were pleasantly surprised! The musicians were amazing, funny, and you really transported back to the early days of Jazz. One of the most memorable parts of our trip to New Orleans. We were sitting down, but the show is also a little short so don't be dissuaded if only standing spots are available. Note: It can get quite hot and the seating is close." - Dan H. "This 45 minute show was fire!!!!!  The venue is perfect for the intimate jazz show this band provides. The band's sound is tight. They interact with the audience the entire performance." - Patrick M. "Omg! There are no words to describe this spot! My husband and I went to Nola for our anniversary trip and we wanted to hear and see live jazz so we decided to come here and it exceeded our expectations! The band was beyond phenomenal. The only thing was that you couldn't take pics during the performance which I totally get so I just got a picture of the venue before the band arrived on stage. This is so worth it! && pay the extra $$ to sit on the first row, it's 100% worth every Penny!" - Sarah A.

Local jazz bands play here and, while the venue is small with minimal seating, it was a great time with great jazz music. They charged a $5/person cover charge to get in, but it was more than worth it. The bar can get quite crowded as is typical, but the bartenders are efficient. They have good local beer and house cocktails. Overall, a great time here and definitely worth a stop for good jazz music." - Alyssa A. "Great time. Excellent musicians. Great atmosphere and cold beer. Customers were very nice." - Elby B. "Really fun and cute jazz club in the Frenchman street area. Drinks are good and bands are great! They serve drinks in branded plastic cups. If you come at a busy time there will likely not be seating as it's pretty small. Super fun way to spend an evening if you don't mind standing." - Sammie L.

This spot has a small, interesting menu as it features some familiar Asian dishes with a modern twist. Ordered the following: - Mini Pork Bao: Four mini baos stuffed with pork. This was really, really good. The bun was soft and doughy and made a perfect container for the pork, which was juicy and flavorful. All four went down fairly quickly. - Mandu Burger: large, 6 Oz. patty that had plenty of flavor. The kimchi infusion gave it some kick and a bit of texture. The two work really well together. Served with some fries and an aioli. Definitely recommend. Everything is a little on the pricey side, but the experience was worth it. Super nice waitstaff and they pay a lot of attention to little details: real cutlery, heavy duty napkins, clean restroom...great job!" - Gilbert R.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We wandered into this hotel when we realized we'd gotten fairly hungry without firm plans for dinner. Atmosphere here is charming, service: charming; food, very good. I started with the escargot and had some sort of fish special, I can't recall the fish, but it was all delicious and fresh." - Erica B. "Determined to try authentic French food, I yelped/googled a few places and found this restaurant. Ordered the escargot, duck breast, and a burger. Surprisingly, the highlight of the meal was the burger. The brioche buns were perfectly soft, the meat was moist and juicy (medium rare), and the fries were crispy, just how I like them. I honestly felt like it was one of the best burgers I've had.. in my life. I would probably go back there just for the burger. Escargot wasn't bad, but it felt too... snail-y for me lol. The duck was good, but just a tad bit tough for my liking. Overall, I really enjoyed this place!" - Jaimie K. "I found this place after reading the fantastic reviews and I can see why it is so highly rated. We stopped in on a Sunday night but didn't have a reservation. They were able to seat our party of 3 right away, though. We ordered a bottle of wine on the recommendation of the server and it was fantastic. My mom had the lamb and mashed potatoes. The lamb was so tender you could cut it with a fork, it just melted in your mouth. I ordered the asparagus and spinach risotto which was cooked to perfection. My daughter had the burger and states it was the best burger she's ever had in her life (in fact she wants to go back tonight for dinner). We finished off with a crispy dessert filled with vanilla custard and berries. Everything was amazing and the food was brought served so quickly. All of the servers were very friendly and offered amazing recommendations. We'll definitely be back!!" - Keli A.

Bistro des Augustins is THE one restaurant that we make sure to visit at least once every time we're in town.  The gratin dishes are simple but incredibly tasty.  Add a cold large beer and you have a satisfying meal for roughly $15.  It's located just off the Seines; close to Notre Dame.  It's small and usually busy but they do take reservations.  Casual. Absolutely recommend lunch or dinner." - Jon H. "We enjoyed this little place. 3 of us for lunch. Service was great. Our 14 year old wanted to practice his French and the effort he made complimented the effort they made (just a suggestion for other reviews) it's a place for lunch and their cheesy gratin hit the spot. Even on a warm day." - Brad P. "So happy I found this place. GPS was acting crazy, but I reached my walking goals looking for it. Service, food, and drinks, A+!  Can't forget about the music. Nice playlist. Very diverse!" - Lynnette L. Restaurant Info * +33 1 43 54 04 41 * 39 quai des Grands Augustins 75006 Paris France * 10:00 AM - 02:00 AM 4. Le Bistro du Périgord Bistro fare like duck & fish in a cozy, wood-accented space decorated with photographs. Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Unbelievable meal tonight. Every course from the French onion soup to the duck breast to the duck confit simply screamed "classic French cuisine." Every course was done perfectly, this was plate-lickingly delicious food. I highly recommend getting a menu with the French onion soup and duck breast and whatever dessert you like, plus an a la carte dinner with the salad that comes with a shooter of pea soup + three chèvre roasts and a confit duck main. Absolutely incredible. The vibe was great, service was friendly and kind. Other diners wandered in and begged for tables, only to be politely turned away. Reservations will be needed!" - Lauren B. "Unequivocal five stars! Convenient location, attentive, friendly staff with perfect English (who put up with my attempts at ordering in French, anyway.) The four of us had starters of mushroom cappuccino (no coffee involved) which was almost indescribably good and amazingly intensely flavoured; and escargot which was prepared as usual with melted butter and parsley but wit added flavours and texture that took it to a new level. Then main dishes of tournedos Rossini (I had to try it once before I die and it was exceptional. To the point that I'm regretting that 'once'...); duck magret; and duck confit., both equally good. Dessert: no room left, sadly, though pretty much everything looked great. A bottle of 2016 Margaux was an outstanding accompaniment to an outstanding meal. This was my second visit and it won't be my last!" - John F. "Loved every bite! I had the trilogie de foie gras and the assiette vegetarienne and my daughter had the duck - nothing disappointed.

Here's a Quick Guide to the Updated Travel Restrictions in Northern America and Mexico

Here's a Quick Guide to the Updated Travel Restrictions in Northern America and Mexico

Before jetting off on holiday, it's important to know if there are any remaining Covid entry requirements or travel restrictions. For those travelling to top holiday destinations, such as United States and Mexico, there are still some existing entry requirements. Here are the latest advice what you'll need to know about Covid or other restrictions before you go. United States What are the restrictions? To be considered fully vaccinated, travelers must have received their second dose (or one dose for a single-dose vaccine) 14 days before arrival. As of September 12, boosters were not required to be considered fully vaccinated. What's the Covid situation? Since the pandemic began in 2020, there have been roughly 95.3 million total cases and more than 1.05 million deaths in the United States (as of September 12). As of August 25, more than 610.7 million doses of vaccine have been administered across the country. That translates to 184 doses per 100 people. What can visitors expect? The United States is open for places that tourists typically enjoy: national and state parks, museums, restaurants, entertainment venues, theme parks and such. Here's more detailed information on some popular tourist spots: • New York City: The Key to NYC requirements lifted on March 7. Proof of vaccination is no longer required for patrons of the city's indoor dining, fitness and entertainment venues. • Las Vegas: Nevada lifted its indoor mask mandate on February 10. • Hawaii: The Aloha State dropped its statewide mask mandate for indoor settings on March 25. Hawaii's Safe Travels program expired on the same day. • Puerto Rico: The US territory of Puerto Rico no longer requires that domestic travelers provide proof of vaccination or take a Covid-19 test before arrival, according to Discover Puerto Rico. Entry rules for international travel are the same as for the United States. • Disney parks: Both Disney Resorts (California and Florida) are open. Each park follows local regulations regarding Covid. Mexico What are the restrictions? There is no need to take a test before departure or undertake any form of quarantine. Those concerned they might have symptoms should ask for the Sanidad Internacional health organization. Some Mexican states or cities might have tighter restrictions than the country at large based on local conditions. Tourists may want to inquire with their hotels or resorts about any local directives before committing to plans. What's the Covid situation? Mexico had administered roughly 209.7 million doses of vaccine, or 165 doses per 100 people as of August 21. For comparison, the United States has administered about 185 doses per 100 people and Canada has given 234 doses per 100 people.As of September 20, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had Mexico at Level 3 (high) for Covid-19 risk. What can visitors expect? Many hotels and lodging groups offer on-site Covid-19 testing for travelers returning to places that require them. Check with your hotel about on-site testing before you travel. Visitors are likely to find situations differ depending on where in the country they travel, with local restrictions varying. See the Local Resources section of the US Embassy website for specific information. Mexico uses a four-color "traffic-light" system to assess the health safety of each state and set certain restrictions in movement if conditions warrant it. Red is the highest level of caution, and green allows all activities.

5 Designer Tote Bags are a Must-have for Any Fashionista

5 Designer Tote Bags are a Must-have for Any Fashionista

1. Louis Vuitton Neverfull It goes with any outfit and easily works with both business and casual outfits.  The size is perfect to fit under an airplane seat and large enough to fit all of your travel necessities. 2. MCM Liz Tote What I love is that the canvas is very soft and straps comfortable, as well as long enough to wear over a thicker coat if need be. The side tie straps are good for commuting, as I can pull in the sides to make my bag more secure. 3. Gucci Ophidia GG Tote Made with real leather with a inside pocket. Perfect to wear every day with casual outfits, sportive outfits I can wear it with almost everything. The most important I love the space that this bag has, is just amazing I can fit there everything that I need. 4. Goyard St Louis Tote The St. Louis was the first to be released and has the most simple design and features of the three totes. Since the bag is very pliable, it won’t look as big as a structured tote with the same dimensions. 5. Christian Louboutin Cabata Tote Metal-spiked loops anchor the over-the-shoulder handles of a spacious tote made from Italian calfskin and detailed with luscious lipstick-red trim.

Our Luxury Crossbody Bags are the Perfect Size for All your Essentials!

Our Luxury Crossbody Bags are the Perfect Size for All your Essentials!

Upon perusing fashion-insider photos and finding that crossbody bags were back in style. Not only that, but I deem crossbody bags incredibly chic. With a shortened strap thrown over my shoulder and the bag positioned directly under my chest, the style takes on a fashion twist, differentiating it from the satchels I wore in middle school. If you too feel genuine delight at the thought of a hands-free accessory, scroll through for the top nine designer bags with crossbody straps this season has to offer. 1. Chanel Mini Rectangular Flap Chanel mini flap bags are such a classic and versatile bag. The bag that would work for both day and night to be able to get the most use out of it and to be able to pack less bags for traveling. 2. Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis The Pochette Metis mixes that schoolbag cool look with classic LV monogram canvas and gold hardware. LV monogram canvas was becoming very popular again when this bag shot back up into must-have status (as were all logo prints), which made the style the ideal combination of what I loved. 3. YSL College Bag This bag is definitely a great piece to own as we head into the fall season. What really drew me to it was the chevron quilted leather, which looks really chic and timeless with the V form flap. The interlocking YSL logo embedded on the top with the flat chain strap adds an elegant yet edgy touch. The bag itself is made of 100% lambskin and grosgrain interior lining, which highlights its luxurious nature. 4. Chanel Filigree Bag The Filigree Bag is packed with elements that mirror the Classic Flap Bag. This is certainly one of the many reasons why this bag has become so popular. The center of the bag is diamond quilted, which creates a chic appeal. 5. Chanel Camera Bag I think the Chanel Camera Bag is a GREAT option as a first ever Chanel bag. It’s a lot more affordable than the classic flap bag, yet it fits more inside than the Chanel WOC. Plus the easy silhouette makes suitable for the office (if you travel light) and also for the weekend, it’s also a great travel bag.

The scent is also different and when applying it in my hair I’m not getting the same results as I do with the original formula which makes me believe it may not be real or original product. I wanted to 100% sure so I tried it again and I’m not sure what it is but it’s not Oribe Straight Away. Unfortunately, I can’t get my money back because I didn’t return on time. Be careful when purchasing product. When I saw the tube was a much darker and different shade of green, I should have returned it!! I will never purchase Oribe products from Amazon!!Lessons learned!!! - Cappy  Price: 18

As soon as we inserted the card and turn on the phone it connected and we got a text with our local (French) phone number. We had 4G almost all the time, occasionally 3G. While in France we were only in Paris and the immediate vicinity. We each used about 13 GB of data in the 9 days of our trip. We rarely made phone calls using our French number but I tested and it and it did work. - David.B  Price: 45.99  3. $29 Ultra Mobile Phone Plan | Unlimited Talk & Text + 6GB 5G • 4G LTE Data (3-in-1 GSM SIM Card) We’re dedicated to creating innovative, authentic, mobile communication experiences by delivering convenient and cost-effective wireless services to those in the United States.

PrePaid Europe (UK THREE) sim card 12GB data+3000 minutes+3000 texts for 30 days with FREE ROAMING / USE in 71 destinations including all European countries What do you get: 1. A trio size (nano/micro/std) SIM which will fit all phones, make sure your device is GSM unlocked either 3G or 4G compatible. 2. A Prepaid bundle of 12GB data, 3000 voice mins, 3000 texts for 30 days use  Customer review: I've ordered these cards many times in the past and they are always some of the most economical. But some things to keep in mind: 1. The data roaming only supports 3G in most countries outside of the UK. (within the UK you get 4G signal and texting/calls). 2. I highly recommend activating the card a day or two before your trip (the cards are valid for 30 days, and usually my vacations are 1-2 weeks max. so I can afford to activate it early). Why? It's never as simple as plug-and-play. - MHA Price: 20.74  5. Visible One Month Prepaid Service & SIM Card | Visible Unlimited Data Plan SIM kit can only be used with a compatible device.

To continue your Visible service at the end of your prepaid month, add a payment method to your account and make your first payment. And with NO annual contracts and NO hidden fees, and unlimited talk, text and data, why wouldn’t you?  Customer review: Let's just say at this price the service is great especially if you get the $45 plan for more priority data, However this is Verizon so always check if your phone is compatible before ordering. I do have a s22 ultra I originally purchased from T-Mobile paid and unlocked and the website said it was not compatible when it clearly was. So if you have a flagship device that's unlocked and is compatible with Verizon you won't have any issues - Robert Castillo  Price: 30.00  6. $20/Month Mint Mobile Phone Plan | 10GB of 5G • 4G LTE Data + Unlimited Talk & Text for 3 Months (3-in-1 SIM Card) Mint Mobile is the easy, online way to save a ton on wireless.

When I activated the plan on my WiFi device I was given a phone number, though this is not a cell phone. I suppose it is Mint's way of giving the customer an identification number, they use it in emails that they send with offers. - J Rose  Price: 60.00  7. 【Movistar】 Europe Prepaid Sim Card 80GB Data for 28 Days with Free Roaming/Use in Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, UK and Other European Countries 【Movistar】Europe Prepaid Sim Card 80GB Data for 28 Days with Free Roaming/Use in Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, UK and Other European Countries  Customer review: According to the instructions, I have registered my activation date on the URL provided by the merchant 2 days in advance.

Fed up with keeping the same pace with friends while indulging yourself in galleries, but have no motivations to visit exhibitions by your own? We got a pretty great tip here for you! Google Arts & Culture has curated a series of exhibitions on their virtual galleries, now, come and take a look before you step outside your sweet room. 1. Kandinsky at Pompidou -      Discover Kandinsky Gallery Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. He is credited as the pioneer of abstract art. Kandinsky was successful enrolled at the University of Moscow, studying law and economics, at first and began painting studies at the age of 30. In 1896, Kandinsky settled in Munich, studying at Anton Ažbe's private school and then at the Academy of Fine Arts. He returned to Moscow in 1914, after the outbreak of World War I. Following the Russian Revolution, Kandinsky "became an insider in the cultural administration of Anatoly Lunacharsky" and helped establish the Museum of the Culture of Painting. However, by then "his spiritual outlook... was foreign to the argumentative materialism of Soviet society", and opportunities beckoned in Germany, to which he returned in 1920. There he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. Follow Kandisky's evolution through time and space 3 rooms, curated by Kandisky expert Angela Lampe from Centre Pompidou. 2. Meet Vermeer       All of the artist's paintings togother for the first time in history Johannes Vermeer was a Dutch Baroque Period painter who specialized in domestic interior scenes of middle-class life. He was a moderately successful provincial genre painter, recognized in Delft and The Hague. Vermeer worked slowly and with great care, and frequently used very expensive pigments. He is particularly renowned for his masterly treatment and use of light in his work. "Almost all his paintings", Hans Koningsberger wrote, "are apparently set in two smallish rooms in his house in Delft; they show the same furniture and decorations in various arrangements and they often portray the same people, mostly women." His modest celebrity gave way to obscurity after his death. He was barely mentioned in Arnold Houbraken's major source book on 17th-century Dutch painting and was thus omitted from subsequent surveys of Dutch art for nearly two centuries. Step inside the firist exhibition to bring all 36 paintings by Johannes Vermeer togather in one place which curated by the Mauritshuis and features artworks from 18 museums across seven countries. 3. From Africa to Japan       Contemporary Africa and Japanese artworks from the Jean Pigozzi Collection The Jean Pigozzi African Art Collection, based in Geneva, is the largest private collection in the world of contemporary African art. It includes works of artists who live or lived in sub-Saharan Africa. The C.A.A.C. is a passionate personal adventure that made its mark by means of careful and unbiased choices. The C.A.A.C. collects the works of more than 160 artists who stand for the wealth and diversity of contemporary African art. It is constantly acquiring new pieces and remains in close personal contact with its artists. While the JaPigozzi Collection is a collection of over 3000 artworks by around 250 artists, focused on the young Japanese art scene. The Collection was begun by Jean Pigozzi in 2008. Many of the artists use detailed techniques, creating tension when it depicts imagery that is sometimes disturbing, fetishist or pseudo-naïve. However, these themes are alleviated by humour, playfulness and beauty. Many of the works have a strong and detailed sense of narrative. Story-telling becomes fractured by tools such as irregular perspective, abstract passages or multi-layered vignettes. Surrealism and Absurdism are central features in many of the works, introducing emotional or cerebral undertones. A passionate comtemporary African art collector since 1989, Jean Pigozzi, started a new collection dedicated to Japanese comtemparory art. Discoer some of the collections' gems from the largest private collection of its kind in the world. 4. Klimt vs. Klimt       A never-before-seen virtual gallery exploring the enigmatic genius of Gustav Klimt Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter who was a prominent member of the Vienna Secession movement. His primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. He also painted landscapes. Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods out of all the artists of the Vienna Secession. Early on in his career, he was successful in painting architectural decorations in a conventional manner. However, Gustav Klimt is an enigma, a man of contradictions. As he began to develop his own personal style, his work was met with controversy. This culminated when the paintings he completed around 1900 for the ceiling of the Great Hall of the University of Vienna were criticized as being pornographic. As a result of this, he accepted no more public commissions. However, he achieved new success with the paintings of his "golden phase", many of which include gold leaf. Klimt's work was an important influence on his younger peer Egon Schiele. Scholar or innovator? Feminist or womanizer? Famous artist or humble craftsman? The anwser, in most cases, is both. Enter the gallery to find out more. 5. Life in Miniature       Discover nature, love, celebrations, faith and power in Indian miniatures Nature Miniature paintings often depict lush foliage as a backdrop to the stories. The landscape sometimes seems to have its own vocabulary, echoing the human moods and concerns in the painting. Nature is depicted as a delightful counterpoint to human activities. Teeming jungles burst with wildlife as kings and princes hunt, peacocks dance welcoming the onset of the rains, and blooming vegetation provides shelter for lovers. Love Raja Savant Singh was an accomplished poet and devotee of Krishna who was one of the greatest patrons of painting at the Kishangarh School. He wrote devotional verse with a beautiful singer and poetess, known to us as Bani Thani. The love of Savant Singh and Bani Thani became legendary, inspiring many paintings of love made at Kishangarh. Celebrations Miniature painters in India often depicted celebrations of joyous events and festivals with vivid and vibrant detail. Holi, the most colourful of festivals, was enthusiastically played by people across religion, caste, class, and gender. The painting Krishna Playing Holi’ expresses this playful exuberance of colour. Faith The Bhakti movement was a religious movement that started in the 15th century in East and North India. The movement was inspired by poet-saints who emphasised alternative paths to spiritual enlightenment, Bhakti, which in fact characterised by passionate devotion to a deity. The Bhakti movement found its expression in Indian painting as many texts such as the Gita Govinda were lavishly illustrated. Power Power never mute. The miniatures in this collection depict the fluidity of power through the gods, kings, queens, and nobles that shaped the course of dynasties and kingdoms. The earliest Indian miniature paintings date to 10th century CE, tell stories of lives ecperiences, and the form evolved over centuries, through palm leaf to paper, and to using materials like lapis lazuli.

Soaring with the Gigantic Whale 🐋: Central Pacific Coast

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more ¡Que gire y gire la ruleta para saber cuál es tu próximo destino ✈️! ¿A dónde te vas de paseo?#VisitMéxico pic.twitter.com/HrNH66OnxW — Visit México (@VisitMex) August 13, 2022 The central Pacific coast of Mexico is a land of stunning beaches, gigantic aquamarine waves, and giant sunsets. 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!

Enjoy leisure time with your kids on long flights with these 21 products

Seize the Peaceful Moments on the Fly. 1. Car Seat Trays Carry-on size fits all airplane seats - Fits most car seats with easy installation - Features a dry erase board and tablet holder - Holds drinks, snacks, and tablets - Sits flat when not in use Kids Travel Tray - Safe and lightweight - Durable and comfortable Customer Review: The product was pretty well as described. Where it really won for me was simply helping to contain toys and snacks from falling behind and off the sides of the airplane tray table (for which it was a tad large but not unusable). My five-year-old could play/watch the tablet while having his drink and snacks secured, and my two-year-old could play with his toy dump trucks and Play-Doh rocks without them falling off the sides constantly. They both folded up decently to fit along with the other books and toys in my carry-on bag. May be a lot for a short flight but definitely contributed to an easier travel day for us. -mc Price: 28.99 2. Pillani LCD Writing Tablet - 10"x7.5" LCD Writing Tablet for kids - Comes with 8 drawing pens - Includes a pen holder - Includes a stylus - Includes a carrying case - Includes a blank white board - Comes with a 1-year warranty Customer Review: My 3yr old daughter loves this drawing tablet! The box came nicely packaged and wrapped in foam. There is a on/off switch on the back, just in case you think it doesnt work check the switch on back first. It also has a lanyard hole, to place a leash on it so it doesnt fall out of seat or stroller. It comes with lithium coin battery and has a removable slot to replace the battery. Its larger than a previous smaller one we purchased, she prefers the big one now more, as it sits across her lap better. -longboarder Price: 11.95 3.

I want her to have it for car rides and church. But my older grandkids were here for two days, ages 3, 5, and 6. And they were totally fascinated by it. I was surprised that they actually needed help learning to button, zip, and snap! I’m glad I bought it and I’m sure it will be something they look forward to playing with at Grammys house!  -Arlene Zawko Price: 34.95 4. Car Seat Travel Bag for Airplane Keeps car seat in a safe place - Opens like a book for easy loading and unloading - Protects the car seat from damage - Airline approved - Fits convertible car seats, infant carriers, and booster seats - Made of durable, lightweight material - Conveniently folds Customer Review: Fit nicely over my doona stroller/ car seat combo.

I love that it is big enough so that his hands can easily handle it. Also, the keys that can attached are chained on, which I appreciated for safety reasons. It has also been dropped a lot and it has held up with no damage - Jamber Price: 13.59 10.

This Magnetic Pattern Block Book is a Tangram puzzle, which is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. Customer Review: I wanted something small that I can work with while eating breakfast or hanging out. This hit the mark! I wanted the one that came with two sets of magnets, but am glad I didn’t get it. There is not enough space to work if a second set is there. The magnetic page and pieces are SUCH a help. Makes it super easy to work with. This is perfect just the way it is. Note: I bought this for myself, and it is challenging even for an adult.  -S. Donahue Price: 13.99 13. Hidden Pictures Book Hidden Pictures: The Hardest Book Ever 1,500 total objects to find Featuring more than 1,500 total objects to find, this book of puzzles and brain teasers is a fun and engaging way for kids to exercise their minds. Customer Review:   So many of these books are too easy for this age level, but this book contained really challenging hidden pictures and kept family members busy for quite a while. During our birthday party, I looked up and there was my 40 year old son, 12, 9 & 6 year old great grandchildren on the floor with this book, all working together trying to resolve the hidden pictures. It was a winner.  -lalalaso Price: 6.27 14.

A resealable lid with odor-trapping panels keep stink and wetness contained. Customer Review: So my munchkins are 4 legged pooping machines. We recently downsized to a very small yard and we have to collect poop daily. These little pails do a great job of keeping the garage from stinking to high heaven. They hold over a week of poo bags for two medium sized dogs. I considered getting a litter genie or a diaper pail but wasn’t sure about the extra room and effort of dealing with the liners. This is the perfect compromise. I also keep one of these in the trunk of my car as an impromptu garbage pail for road trips.  -Fuji Price: 14.99 16.

Drool everywhere. but these disposable bibs... They helped with managing the whole situation. Given, at five and a half months old, we had to swap out disposable bibs about every 90 minutes or so. And the waterproof backing on them definitely kept his shirt dry. Made traveling with baby so much easier. Will definitely be buying these again next time we travel or are going to be out for longer than usual. -Oscar B Chacon Price: 12.43 19. Travel Foot Rest Pillow The Airplane Footrest Pillow is a must-have for people who travel a lot and want to make the long trip more comfortable.

Both have babies learning about object permance, as the peditrician call it. I think they're just learning that Nana can be turned into a life-size jack-in-the-box. Needless to say when the kids are in this developmental stage during an international pandemic, it's helpful to have a sanitizer when you are out and can't rinse them before your child puts one in her mouth. -Amazon Customer Price: 22.99 You may also be interested in: Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker 🦾: Berlin“What does not kill me makes me stronger” | Berlin, the city with vibrant culture, cutting-edge architecture, intense parties and tangible history.BucktripSandra EdwardsA Trip Greeted with Waves8 Hotels with Sea Views in Jeju.BucktripDewey ShermanUnder the Roofing of Aurora6 Cozy Chalet Hotels in Rovaniemi.BucktripDewey Sherman

Back Seat Car Organizer The perfect car seat organizer for families on the go -Keep your back seat clutter-free with this fun and functional car organizer -Great for backseat activities and snacks, or just to keep your car neat Customer Review: This thing is great. I originally just wanted something to tidy up the back of the seat. This has a USB hub which I just run the cord under the seat up to the front and it makes it a lot easier for the kids to plug-in their stuff in the second row. It works great.  -Christopher Price: 36.99 2.

Backseat Travel Tray Organizer Organizes crayons, markers, and other supplies -Holds an iPad or Kindle (not included) -Great for road trips and travel -Can also be used as lap tray to write or as a surface to use electronics on -Make a hole in the PVC cover for a headset Customer Review: Where were these all my parenthood?!? I have a five year old and an eight year old. We take a 10 - 16 hour road trip at least once a year. We don't do screen time for our kids during road trips, but rather dole out different travel activities like books, hidden pictures, little white boards, sticker books, etc... These trays were a huge help! Having a surface to use for their activities was super convenient. The pockets stored pencils and crayons and were handy to keep their masks in so we knew right where they were for bathroom and food stops. These also made great "tables" for fast food meals. I posted a photo of the kids with these on my Facebook and all my friends went nuts asking what they were. I only wish I'd found them years ago! -Stephanie Hogue Price: 29.98 4. Disposable Instant Potty for Kids Zensuno Emergency Foldable Portable Disposable Hygienic Instant Potty for Kids Toddlers Small Children and Babies, Great for Road Trip, Camping, Traveling, Hiking and Car Essential (3 Pack, Age 4-6) Customer Review: We just moved to a state that has almost no public bathrooms near playgrounds. We have these foldable potties in each car/stroller in case our newly trained boy needs to go number 2. They set up within 15seconds and are sturdy enough to withhold one big use. We opened one to make sure we know how to set it up, but it is self-explanatory. We have not yet needed it, but they have given us peace of mind. Once we run low, we will re-order. Excellent product to have with a toddler. -misspool Price: 21.90 5. Car Headrest Pillow 1. Memory foam U shape sleep travel protection, 2. Memory foam cushion, 3. Leather black, 4. Hook, 5.

The Noggle Heavy Duty, Durable Exterior - Built to Withstand the Rigors of the Road -Tethers to Your Vehicle's Air Vent - No Tools Needed -No More Sweaty or Uncomfortable Kids or Pets! Customer Review: Works great in our Rav4. I got the 8 foot one, but would prefer 10 feet for the way I used it. I passed it under the passenger seat (rather than over) so it uses a little extra length than going over the Armrest, but it's not out and in the way. This keeps the back cooler, and our toddler can aim it away when too cold (or just toss it to the floor and we have to retieve it later when needed...)  -T.M. Price: 72.56 7. Baby Backseat Mirror for Car The Lusso Gear Baby Backseat Mirror will allow you to see your little passenger in their car seat from the front driver's seat. - Large and stable mirror for easily viewing your baby in the backseat. - The mirror is secure and shatterproof. - The mirror is compatible with most car Customer Review: This is my first baby mirror but I’m pretty sure it’s one of the best.

And it supports the head the arms have bumper padding and the legs have bumper padding. We love it for our little man. 5 stars!!! Thank You && God Bless  -hristopher Goins Price: 22.99 9. Baby Head Support for Car Seat Keeps baby’s head from falling forward and helps cradle the head and neck. -Perfect for a quick nap or for a long journey. -The head support can be used with a car seat, stroller, or pram. -A must-have for any parent of a baby Customer Review: My 4.5 year old always falls asleep during road trips, and when she wakes up, she complains about her neck hurting from her head falling forward. I can only recline her car seat so far when she's forward facing in order to keep her safe, so when we planned out summer road trip, I was determined to find something that would help her. I bought this strap AND a neck pillow so she'd have some choices to try out. She didn't like the neck pillow at all, so that was a waste. With the strap, we just waited until she fell asleep, then slipped this over her forehead to support her head while she was sleeping. Success! She loves this so much. She even started asking us if we'd please put the strap on as soon as she was sleeping. I bought a 2nd one for my 2.5 year old so we'll have one for each of them next time!  -Lauren O.

It holds every thing and has numerous pockets or zipper bags to keep every small trinkets in organize. I ordered a large size and put it between two car seats in the middle row in an eight seats minivan. It fits perfectly. The space divider in the large compartment is adjustable, you can place it anywhere you like. Cup holder is big enough to hold 21oz bottles which usually will not fit in a regular cup holder. I used to have a Diono car storage box. This one is much bigger and sturdier! Love it !  -Amazon Customer Price: 39.99 12.

The adjustments were super easy to make so it fits her like a glove! We have the non-DLX version as well and the modifications they made to this DLX version are nice, but not a must. The cover does remove much easier, the center strap/button is in a better place to ensure a snug fit and makes releasing the shoulder straps easier. For the easy release and tighten reason, we wish we had 2 of the DLX versions but if your budget is tight the non-DLX is equally secure and easy to manipulate.  -Astro21 Price: 263.99 14.

Baby Changing Pad The ONLY pad that leaves you one hand to hold baby, and the other for their changing mat for a quick nimble change! - Compact, lightweight, and durable, the Lil Fox Portable Diaper Changing Pad is a must for any home with a baby! - The Lil Fox is a must-have Customer Review: As a mother of a little boy that would turn into a little sprinkler everytime you took his diaper off, this saved me from a lot of clean up. Instead of having to wash a blanket or scrub the couch or wash a changing pad cover after he would pee everywhere, all I had to do was wipe off the changing pad and it was done. I know it's meant for travel, but I keep one in the living room stocked with diapers and wipes. Extremely handy, I never have to get up and go to his room just to do a quick diaper change. I can fit up to 10 diapers in this and a full pack of wipes. -Molly Price: 22.99 23.

I want it to smell so I know my baby has gone! We are not checking every single moment, so the smell is important. The sooner we know the sooner our baby is not sitting in a dirty diaper. Plus the reason why other diapers don't smell is because of the toxic chemicals on the diapers used too hide the smell. These diapers are GREAT! If you want a cute and nontoxic diaper that doesn't coast an arm and a leg than these are perfect! Been using almost from day one with our little girl!  -Christian Price: 48.44 You may also be interested in: Bayou City? Space City?

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.

Sydneysiders Why? 🛥: Sydney

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Read Essentials this week for an update on the inaugural Global Australia Summit, the Singapore border reopening and upcoming Sydney industry briefing: https://t.co/7UTn0r4oqT. pic.twitter.com/PpELnLqhso — Tourism Australia (@TourismAus) November 17, 2021 Sydney is a renowned tourist destination for a plethora of reasons: its natural beauty, its bustling city life, and its many iconic landmarks, such as its picturesque harbour, its world-famous Opera House, and its stunning beaches. Sydney is a unique city because of its national parks that ring the city and penetrate right into its heart. This means that you can see native animals in the most surprising places. For example, clouds of flying foxes pass overhead at twilight, possums rattle over roofs of terrace houses, and sulphur-crested cockatoos screech from the railings of urban balconies. 1. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park The park is located 20 to 30km from the city center of Sydney and is accessible by public transport. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is a popular place to visit for its wilderness, its Aboriginal heritage, as well as activities such as walking, cycling, and kayaking. The park takes in over 100km of coastline along the southern edge of Broken Bay, where it heads into the Hawkesbury River. There are two unconnected principal sections, Bobbin Head and the West Head area. The Barrenjoey headland at Palm Beach is also part of the park and the site of an historic lighthouse. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park provides activities of many kinds, so why not include the spot into your family travel list? 2. Taronga Zoo Sydney Taronga Zoo is only a ferry ride away from Circular Quay and is full of kangaroos, koalas, and other furry Australians!

The city is actually defined by its coastline, with an abundance of charms to be found in its harbor. Sydney's two halves are far enough apart to make exploring by ferry a worthwhile endeavor. The coast of Australia is full of natural wonders, including sheer walls of sandstone and arcs of golden sand. In the summer, these areas are full of people enjoying the outdoors. 4. Bondi Beach Bondi is undeniable one of the best destinations for its beautiful coastline and waves. It is also home to saltwater sea baths, which were upgraded in 2019. The beach has surfers at either end, making it a great place for learners. There is a grassy spot with coin-operated barbecues at the north end of the beach. Changing rooms and lockers can be found at Bondi Pavilion. Another highlight of Bondi, is that LGBTQIA+ community can enjoy their activities safe and sound here. The North Bondi Surf Club, near an outdoor workout are, is one of the main hangouts for queer beach-going Sydneysiders. 5. Watsons Bay Lovely Watsons Bay is a preferct destination for the Sydney visitor that looking for a day trip by ferry. The village was once a small fishing village, as evidenced by the heritage cottages that pepper the suburb’s narrow streets. South Head can be explored by foot, and visitors can take a dip at Camp Cove or enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the village's popular restaurants. The Gap is a dramatic clifftop lookout worth a visit. And well, deeply in your heart you know that you're not a good Sydney visitor if you missed out the attractions below. 6. Sydney Opera House The Australia's most famous landmark is designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon. The building, which references a yacht's sails in its design, comprises five performance spaces for dance, concerts, opera and theatre. Visitors can wander around the outside of the building and take a one-hour guided tour (available in several languages), with optional food. The best way to experience the interior of the Sydney Opera House is to attend a performance. 7. Sydney Harbour Bridge Sydneysiders love their giant 'coathanger', which opened in 1932. The best way to experience this majestic structure is on foot. Stairs and lifts ascend the bridge from both shores, leading to a footpath on the eastern side (the western side is a bike path). Getting the train to Milsons Point and walking back towards the city offers the more spectacular views. Climb the southeastern pylon to the Pylon Lookout or tackle the arc on the popular if expensive, once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience, the BridgeClimb. A city without nightlife, can't be labeled as a city. After a day at the beach, they may take a disco nap, hit the showers, and head out again. There's always a new restaurant to try, undercover bar to hunt down, hip band to check out, sports team to shout at, show to see or crazy party to attend. The city's pretensions to glamour are well balanced by a casualness that means a cool T-shirt and a tidy pair of jeans will get you in most places. But if you want to dress up and show off, there's plenty of opportunity for that among the sparkling harbour lights. 8. Archie Rose Distilling Co. Why can't a distillery which known for its excellent gins be a bar as well? Archie Rose Distilling Co. is totally the industrial chic, the mezzanine is a great spot to sit and observe the action. You can try different gins in a flight, or pick your perfect G&T combination or cocktail. They also have some decent wine and beer. 9. Love, Tilly Devine The Tilly Devine bar is a hidden, split-level bar in a back alley in Sydney. It has a dark, good-looking interior and a compact wine list with some exceptionally well-chosen wines. Italian deli bites and fuller plates are also available. 10. Opera Bar This bar is perfectly positioned with the Opera House on one side and the bridge on the other. It's an iconic spot for visitors and locals alike with live music or DJs most nights and excellent food. The staff geolocate you to know where to bring the food to, and there's an app to order from your table. Sydneysiders celebrate Sydney everyday, let's join them and have a leisure vacation!

The Home of Vincent van Gogh 🎨: Netherlands

The Home of Vincent van Gogh 🎨: Netherlands

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more #BringYourself, Jelle will do the same. 👏 With the Vuelta A Espana starting in one week in Utrecht, let us tell you the story of Jelle, the city's first cycling mayor. "Personally, I hope that La Vuelta will act as a springboard for the duo bike initiative." Discover it here! pic.twitter.com/QyU24JLBsZ — Visit Netherlands (@Visit_NL) August 12, 2022 There are many stories in the Netherlands that tell about the country's rich history, culture, and destinations. For example, Van Gogh and the Golden Age, but flowers and water are also closely related to the country's existence. But flowers, windmills, and wooden shoes are what you can only think about Holland? What a shame! The country has so much more to offer! You can enjoy the bracing wind with a beach walk along the Dutch coast or a cycling tour of the Veluwe. You can experience the welcoming hospitality of North Brabant and Limburg, the authentic charm of our Hanseatic cities and the Achterhoek in eastern Holland, and the freedom of the provinces of Friesland and Groningen with their wide horizons. You can discover how the Dutch battle against the water in Flevoland, our newest province, and immerse yourself in Dutch culture in the modern metropolises, historic cities, and picturesque villages in the west of the Netherlands. And best of all, you do not have to choose because all this and much more is within a two hour travel distance! So start your engine on now: 1. 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. 2. Anne Frank Huis Visiting Anne Frank House is one of Amsterdam's most profound experiences. Tragically, of the 107,000 Jewish adults and children deported from the Netherlands to concentration camps during WWII, only 5000 survived. Entering the "Secret Annexe" where the teenaged girl and her family desperately hid from the Nazis for over two years until their capture puts the Holocaust's atrocities into acutely human scale, intimately personalizing the war's catastrophic effects. 0:00/1× Feeling how Anne and her family felt by standing in these sombre, airless rooms and viewing the diary Anne wrote while hiding here is impossible to forget. 3. Hermitage Amsterdam There have been long-standing links between Russia and the Netherlands - Tsar Peter the Great learned shipbuilding here in 1697 - which is why there is a branch of St Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum. Blockbuster temporary exhibitions show works from the Hermitage's vast treasure trove, while the permanent Portrait Gallery of the Golden Age has formal group portraits of the 17th-century Dutch A-list; the Outsider Gallery also has temporary shows. The Outsider Art Gallery is a place for outsider art artists to exhibit and sell their work or exchanges with galleries at home and abroad, and with other museums. 4. Royal Palace This resplendent building, which was originally designed as a town hall in 1655 and became a palace in the 19th century, is a shining example of Amsterdam's wealth. The interiors are particularly impressive, including the marble work in the great burgerzaal (citizens' hall) at the heart of the building. 5. Mauritshuis This splendid museum offers a wonderful introduction to Dutch and Flemish art. It is set in a 17th-century mansion that was built for wealthy sugar trader Johan Maurits and became a museum housing the Royal Picture Collection in 1822. It acquired a swish modern wing in 2012-14. The 800-strong collection of paintings focuses on works created between the 15th and 18th centuries and includes masterpieces such as Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring (c1665) and Rembrandt's intriguing The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp (1632). 6. Groninger Museum The striking structure that occupied the three islands in the ring canal in front of the train station, Groninger Museum, is also another can't miss out spot. Within the museum, there is a scintillating mix of international artworks from throughout the ages. The architecture is the brainchild of Alessandro Mendini, who invited three of his fellow architects to each tackle a section. This explains why, to many, the museum has little consistency and appears thrown together on a whim. However, inside the museum, the bright, pastel colours add life to the exhibition halls, and natural light seeps in from all angles. 7. Lighthouse The iconic red-and-white banded lighthouse on Ameland's west end is open to the public and is 55m tall. The cast-iron structure can be climbed (236 steps) for expansive views over the entire island and across the Waddenzee. Exhibits on the way up explain the history of the lighthouse, and you can listen to digital stories by lighthouse keepers. The tulip is synonymous with the Netherlands, you have never visit the country if you didn't get surrounded by tulips! 8. Tulip Island The tulip island is a peninsula shaped in the form of a tulip extending from the coast of Zeewolde. Last September, Zeewolde local council had 150,000 tulip bulbs planted here, all of which are primed to bloom this coming spring . A marina has been created on the ‘island’, located in the Wolderwijd bordering lake, with space to accommodate up to eighty boats. Various amenities are currently being developed for visitors, which will include catering services and water sports facilities. 9. Texel Dunes National Park The patchwork of dune-scape running along the western coast of the island is a prime reason for visiting Texel. Salt fens and heath alternate with velvety, grass-covered dunes; plants endemic to the habitat include the dainty marsh orchid and orange-berried sea buckthorn. Netherlands is a truly unique and special place, and there's something for everyone to enjoy. Come and explore all that this amazing country has to offer!

Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker 🦾: Berlin

Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker 🦾: Berlin

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Bremen’s market square is a real gem in the heart of the city. Together with the town hall, the Roland Statue has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. The town hall is the only one in the world to be listed as a cultural monument by UNESCO, a fact the locals are proud of pic.twitter.com/1cmzDkpoHz — GermanyTourism (@GermanyTourism) August 11, 2022 Berlin is a city with a long and rich history dating back to the 13th century. It has been a major European city for centuries, and its culture and architecture reflect that. Today, Berlin is a major cultural center, with dozens of museums, theaters, and other cultural institutions. It is also a major foodie city, with a wide variety of international cuisine available. And of course, Berlin is also well-known for its nightlife, with a huge variety of clubs and bars to choose from. Whether you're interested in history, culture, food, or just a good time, Berlin has something to offer you: 1. Fernsehturm The TV Tower is Germany's tallest structure and it offers amazing views of the city from the observation deck and the Sphere restaurant. The tower is a bit of a laughing stock because, when hit by the sun, the steel sphere below the antenna produces the reflection of a giant cross. West Berliners have dubbed this phenomenon ‘the Pope’s revenge’. 2. Sony Center Sony Center is a visually stunning complex designed by Helmut Jahn. It is fronted by a 26-floor glass-and-steel tower and integrates rare relics from the prewar era of Potsdamer Platz, such as the opulent Kaisersaal. The heart of the Sony Center is a central plaza canopied by a tentlike glass roof with supporting beams radiating like bicycle spokes. The plaza and its many cafes are popular places to hang out and people-watch. 3. East Side Gallery The East Side Gallery is the embodiment of Berlin’s grit and guts. It’s a symbol of hope, creativity and resilience – for Berliners, but also the rest of the world.In 1989, the Berlin Wall, a grey and grisly divider of humanity, was finally torn down after 28 years. Today its longest surviving stretch forms the world’s largest permanent open-air art gallery, known as the East Side Gallery.The nearly mile-long (1.3 km) section of wall, located along the Spree river and Mühlenstrasse, showcases more than 100 murals. Dozens of international artists have translated the Cold War era’s global euphoria and optimism into a mix of political statements, psychedelic-induced musings and manifold artistic visions. These days, you’ll often see the  covered in groups of shutterbugs – the city estimates over three million visitors come here annually – as well as ample, unsightly fences warding off vandalism. Despite such a touristy backdrop, just ask your average Berliner – there will always be a kind of magic about the East Side Gallery. 4. Stasi Prison The Gedenkstätte Berlin-Hohenschönhausen is a memorial site dedicated to the victims of Stasi persecution. Tours of the site, led by former inmates, provide visitors with an understanding of the terror and cruelty that was inflicted upon thousands of suspected opponents of the regime. The permanent exhibit at the site uses photographs, objects, and an audioguide to document daily life in the prison. 5. Brandenburger Tor The Brandenburg Gate is a symbol of German reunification. It was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans and completed in 1791 as the royal city gate. It stands sentinel over Pariser Platz, a harmoniously proportioned square that was once framed by banks, a hotel, and the US, British, and French embassies. 6. Schloss Charlottenburg - Neuer Flügel The most beautiful rooms in the palace are the flamboyant private chambers of Frederick the Great, designed in 1746 by the period's star architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff. Standouts include the confection-like White Hall banquet room, the mirrored and gilded Golden Gallery and the paintings by Watteau, Pesne and other 18th-century French masters. Also note the apartment of Luise (1776–1810; a popular queen and wife of King Friedrich Wilhelm III), with its stunning bedroom designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Berlin once was a city  of creativity and experimentation. In the last 20 years, it has become a major center for start-ups and new ideas. Today, Berlin is home to a wide variety of international performers, artists, and filmmakers. Whether you're interested in highbrow or lowbrow culture, there's plenty of rooms for your creativity and imagination. 7. Museumsinsel Museumsinsel is a one-of-a-kind collection of five grand museums capturing diverse cultures and historical periods through rare artifacts. It is situated on the northern half of Spreeinsel, a small island in the River Spree, where Berlin's settlement began in the 13th century. The five buildings that make up Museumsinsel were constructed under Prussian rulers and span 6000 years’ worth of art, artifacts, sculpture and architecture from Europe and beyond. In addition, Museumsinsel is also home to the lovely Lustgarten park and Berliner Dom, so let's not miss them out. 8. Berliner Dom The Pompous yet majestic, former royal court church is a beautiful example of Italian Renaissance architecture. It now serves as a house of worship, museum, and concert hall. Inside, you will find a lavish marble-and-onyx altar, a 7269-pipe Sauer organ, and elaborate royal sarcophagi. You can also climb up to the 267 steps to the gallery for a stunning view of the city. 9. Pergamonmuseum The Pergamonmuseum is one of Berlin’s most visited historical gems. It offers an archaeological time-warp back to the ancient worlds of Babylon, Greece, Rome and beyond. It is a palatial three-wing complex uniting classical sculpture, monumental architecture and excavated treasures in dainty glass cases. Key exhibits include an excavated reconstruction of the radiant-blue Ishtar Gate from Babylon, which more than 2600 years ago served as the ancient city’s Processional Way. Also impressive is the giant Market Gate of Miletus linking up Asia and Europe for Roman patrons and the Pergamon Altar, an ancient Greek victory monument now considered the zenith of Hellenic art. 10. Panoramapunkt The Panoramapunkt is Europe's fastest lift, and it will take you up to the Kollhoff Tower's viewing platform in just 20 seconds. From there, you'll be able to see all of the sights of Berlin, grab a coffee in the 1930s-style cafe, enjoy the sunset from the terrace, and learn about the history of the square below. 11. Clärchens Ballhaus This early-20th-century dance hall is the perfect place to step back in time and enjoy some classic tunes. There is a different sound each night, from salsa to swing, tango to disco, and a live band on Saturday. Now, pack your stamina and forget about New York – Berlin is the city that truly never sleeps!

Cuddle the Canola Flowers Closer 💛: Jeju Island

Cuddle the Canola Flowers Closer 💛: Jeju Island

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Travel around Jeju with #StrayKids!😃 Check out the attractions shown in SKZ CODE video!😄 Where do you want to visit first?!😆 💠 Stray Kids Page: https://t.co/3B0zwhzr1K pic.twitter.com/yx9qWNWbpy — VisitKorea (@KoreanTravel) August 12, 2022 Looking for a place to travel that has everything you could want? Then it shouold be the largest island in Korea, Jeju-do(제주도)! You can hike up South Korea's highest mountain, Halla-san, or climb the incredible tuff cone Seongsan Ilchul-bong. For a less-demanding nature experience, meander along one of the Jeju Olle Trails and explore tangerine-trimmed country roads, jagged coasts and narrow lanes dotted with cottage-style homes made from black lava rock. And of course, since the ocean is never far away, you can always plunge into the blue seas to view coral and dig into Jeju-do's unique cuisine, including seafood caught by haeneyo (female free divers)! You'll never want to miss: 1. Seongsan Ilchul-bong Seongsan Ilchul-bong, also known as "Sunrise Peak", is a Unesco World Heritage site and one of the most popular tourist destinations on Jeju-do. The 182m-high, extinct tuff volcano is shaped like a giant punchbowl, with a forested crater that is ringed by jagged rocks. To do the sunrise expedition, you'll have to spend the night in Seongsan-ri, a sleepy village filled with motels and restaurants catering to the hiking crowd. Not an early riser? It's also a popular daytime hike! 2. Jeju Folk Village The Jeju Folk Village is a must-see for anyone interested in Jeju's culture and history!

The Jeju Folk Village is an educational and enjoyable experience for the whole family. And now, it's time for authentic food! 3.Yetnal Patjuk Other than having Jeju cuisine in the traditional building, you'll be greeted by warm smiles and the sweet earthy aroma of red beans as soon as you walk in the door if  you choose to enjoy your meal in Yetnal Patjuk. The wooden tables, exposed beams, and heavy earthenware add to the rustic charm. And you can't go wrong with any of the soups and porridge on the menu, including some made from lotus flowers, pumpkin, and seaweed. 4. Jeju Loveland Wandering in theme park is one of the best activities after heavy meal. Jeju Loveland is a sculpture theme park based on sensuality and eroticism. It was the first such museum in Korea when it opened in November 2004. Twenty artists, mainly graduates of top art school Hongik University, participated in the work. 5.

Dongmun Market Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market, the largest and oldest permanent market on the island, is also a popular destination for fresh seafood and inexpensive prices. The market was established after the liberation in 1945, but was moved to its current location after a large fire in 1954. The market is not just great place to peek at the local seafood for sale, you can also have the seafood cooked up on the spot at small restaurants. It's also a good place to stock up on gamgyul, Jeju's traditional citrus fruit, or to snack on mandu (dumplings), hotteok, odeng and black pork cabbage rolls. 9.

City of Lights, Are You Shining Just for Me? 🌟: Morocco

City of Lights, Are You Shining Just for Me? 🌟: Morocco

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more It's impossible to have a frown on your face when walking down this rainbow road in #Fez. 🌈 The smiles here are contagious. 📷 by @virgosalvatori (Instagram account) #visitmorocco #morocco pic.twitter.com/iv5Vz1al6c — Visit Morocco (@Visit_Morocco_) August 12, 2022 As your plane begins its descent into Morocco, you can't help but feel excitement. This North African country, also a country of many contrasts, is full of life. From ancient cities and stunning natural scenery to vibrant markets and lively nightlife. You can find towering mountain ranges, ancient cities, and sweeping deserts all within its borders. During your stay, be sure to visit some of the country's most popular attractions, such as the Hassan II Mosque, the Djemaa El Fna, and of course, the Sahara Desert. You can't wait to explore everything it has to offer: 1.  Djemaa El Fna Djemaa El Fna is Marrakesh's main square and has been a hub of activity for centuries. During the day, you can find snake charmers and musicians playing, and at night the square comes alive with grilled food from the surrounding restaurants. It's an experience you won't want to miss! 2. Hassan II Mosque The Hassan II Mosque is a must-see in Morocco. It's opulent and finely crafted, with beautiful mosaics and intricate tilework. And no worries, non-Muslims are also allowed to take a guided tour of the mosque, besides, there's even a small museum on the premises for craftwork showcase. 3. Jardin Majorelle In 1980, French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé bought Jardin Majorelle in order to preserve the vision of its original owner, French landscape painter Jacques Majorelle. The garden, which was started in 1924, contains a psychedelic desert mirage of 300 plant species from five continents. At the heart of the garden lies Majorelle's electric-blue art deco studio, which is home to the Musée Berbère. This museum showcases the rich panorama of Morocco's indigenous inhabitants through displays of some 600 artifacts. Jardin Majorelle also houses a pretty courtyard cafe, a small book and photography shop, and a chic boutique selling Majorelle blue slippers, textiles and Amazigh-inspired jewellery influenced by YSL designs. 4. Musée Yves Saint Laurent Yves Saint Laurent's love affair with Marrakesh began in 1966. By the end of his first visit, he had acquired the deeds to a house in the medina. The Algerian-born French fashion designer was fascinated by the artistry and palette of Morocco. Musée Yves Saint Laurent opened as a homage to his work and the inspiration he drew from his second home. The core of the museum is the Yves Saint Laurent Hall, which is a permanent display of his sketches, rotating haute-couture fashions and color-themed accessories. The backdrop is entirely black, which is a key color in YSL's designs. This creates a cavernous cocoon that is pierced only by audiovisuals of the designer's catwalk shows and recordings of him speaking. 5. Cactus Thiemann If you love cacti, then the Cactus Thiemann is a must-see! This North African cacti farm has fields of giant aloe, agave, and prickly pear. The largest cactus is 8m high and 80 years old! Tours of the 17-acre nursery and its 150 cacti varieties are fascinating, and there are also camels for kids. 6. Musée de Marrakech The Musée de Marrakech is a must-see for lovers of Moroccan art! This museum is a historic palace and museum located in the old center of Marrakesh land now  exhibits a collection of Moroccan art forms. The central internal courtyard is the highlight, with its cedar archways, stained-glass windows, intricate painted door panels, and zellige (colourful geometric mosaic tilework). The palace was once home to Mehdi Mnebhi, defence minister during Sultan Moulay Abdelaziz’s troubled reign (1894–1908). After independence, the building was seized by the state and became Marrakesh’s first girls’ school in 1965. 7. Sahara Desert The Souss Valley, which is located where goats climb argan trees beneath the sun-baked Anti Atlas, divides Morocco in half. The villages and Saharan gateways that are located south of this fertile valley have a seductively slow pace of life. After crossing the rocky and forlorn expanses of the hamada, the city of Dakhla is a much more relaxed destination. With the cobalt intensity of the Atlantic Ocean softened by palm trees, it's a pleasant place to spend time. The people of Morocco are also incredibly hospitable, making it a great place to visit. No matter what you do, you're sure to have a memorable experience in this vibrant and welcoming country.

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Japan is a country with a rich cultural heritage dating back centuries, which can be experienced by visitors through traditional arts, crafts, architecture, and cuisine, include calligraphy, origami, ikebana, and kimono and for sure, matcha and sushi. Japan is probably the easiest place to get around. You can do a whole trip using nothing but its immaculate, efficient public transport. The shinkansen (bullet train) network now runs all the way from the southern tip of Kyūshū (the southernmost of Japan's major islands) up to Hokkaidō (its northernmost), and reasonably priced rail passes make it affordable. Major cities have subway networks that are signposted in English and these days we're seeing and hearing more English all over. But if getting off the beaten track and outside your comfort zone is what you're after, you can have that experience, too. There are so many amazing places to visit in Japan! You could even spend a lifetime sampling the country’s delights, but some towns and sights are staples; core ingredients to any great Japan trip. Well, here’s few of the best places to visit in Japan: 1. Tokyo: Best for contemporary culture There's no place quite like Tokyo. It's a city forever reaching into the future, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on densely populated, earthquake-prone land, adding ever taller, sleeker structures. It's Japan's top spot for contemporary art and architecture, pop culture, shopping, drinking and entertainment (and a tie with Kyoto for dining). i. Ghibli Museum Ghibli Museum is the heart of the Studio Ghibli world, a beloved (even 'adored') film studio responsible for classic, critically-acclaimed animated titles like Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, Ponyo and Princess Mononoke, among countless others. Unlike Disney World, this is a museum, not a theme park, but the levels of fandom on show are likely to be just as intense. ii. Shibuya Crossing Shibuya crossing is rumoured to be the busiest intersection in the world. With hundreds of people crossing at a time, it is a sight to see. To get the best vantage point, head to the Starbucks on the second level of the nearby QFRONT building and look down. iii. teamLab Borderless The teamLab Borderless Museum is an art museum like no other- where art and the viewer become one. With 60 different interactive artworks, this museum is a fantasy world come to life. From the Crystal World, to the Athletics Forest, teamLab Borderless Museum will never disappoints its audiences. But more than any one sight, it's the city itself that enchants visitors. It's a sprawling, organic thing, stretching as far as the eye can see. Always changing, and with a diverse collection of neighborhoods, no two experiences of it are ever the same. 2. Kyoto: Best for traditional experiences Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for a thousand years, gained more than a thousand temples  including the monumental Kinkaku-ji and the meditative Ryōan-ji. Kyoto is also known for the culture of tea, the art of the geisha, and its rich food culture, including kaiseki. Despite Japan's overall modernization, many traditional arts and crafts are still alive in Kyoto. This is due in part to Kyoto's roots as the country's cultural capital. As such, wandering the streets downtown will reveal many historic shops selling traditional goods like tofu, washi (Japanese handmade paper), tea, lacquerware, chazutsu (tea canisters), and noren (hanging curtains). i. Fushimi Inari-Taisha Fushimi Inari is a vast shrine complex consisting of five shrines sprawled across the wooded slopes of Inari-san. It is one of Japan's most popular shrines and is the head shrine for some 40,000 Inari shrines scattered throughout the country. The walk around the upper precincts of the shrine is a pleasant day hike. It is also very eerie in the late afternoon and early evening when the various graveyards and miniature shrines along the path take on a mysterious air. ii. Nishiki Market Nishiki Market is a place where locals go to buy ingredients for Kyoto cuisine. It is narrow and can get crowded, so it is best to visit early or later in the afternoon. Many stores give out free samples, but it is considered impolite to eat while walking. You should also ask before taking pictures. iii. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove The bamboo grove is most atmospheric near Ōkōchi Sansō villa. Since the grove is free to enter, you can just chilling and take some pictures. If you prefer less crowded bamboo forest, remember to visit early in the morning or on a weekday. 3. Mt Fuji: Best for views and pilgrimages Mt Fuji is an incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring mountain, especially when seen up close. The perfectly symmetrical cone-shape of the mountain is something that many people admire, and the views from the summit at dawn are simply magical. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make the pilgrimage up the mountain as part of a centuries-old tradition. For those who don't want to make the climb up Mt Fuji, there are other less-daunting peaks nearby that offer just as spectacular views. Whether you're interested in exploring the country's natural beauty, learning about its fascinating culture, or simply indulging in its delicious food, Japan is sure to offer an unforgettable experience.

Discover more ▶️ https://t.co/Tper4YcYyF@VisitSicilyOP 📷 IG glanzetta 📷 IG carmenspinny#LiveItalian #ilikeitaly #SustainabilITy pic.twitter.com/cwxw1Sl15d — Italia.it (@Italia) August 8, 2022 Italy is a unitary parliamentary republic in Southern Europe, bordering several neighboring countries to the north and consisting of the entire Italian peninsula. 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.
