Protective Face Mask and Gloves Kit (4 Pack + 1 Pair Glove) 3 Layers of Protection – Washable Reusable, Nose Wire, Cotton, Breathable Cloth, Stretchable, Lightweight, Unisex, Men and Women Hopeurwell 4Pack of Protective Face Mask and Gloves Kit Comes with FREE 1 Pair of Gloves 3 Layers of Protection (1st: Washable, 2nd: Lightweight, 3rd: Cotton) Nose Wire Stretchable Unise  Customer review: Breathable, comfortable, thick but not heavy. Seems to be very good shielding and protection with social distancing (not medical mask). Face covering appears to be one layer, with double layer edging. No filter pocket, but paper towel staying in place. Strong, very neat seams, excellent craftsship. Long, sturdy nose bridge, glasses not fogging up. Top corners of nose bridge can poke through knitting slightly, but they're not leaving holes and they don't stay pushed through once wire is flattened down; stretchable ribbing, so threading staying intact. Nose wire not centered exactly, but able to move it carefully; will need to be mindful to not puncture binding if have to re-position/re-secure. Mask material 95% cotton, 5% spandex. Two black and two white in one box (plus one pair good quality off-white disposable latex gloves included). Gloves & masks seem to fit me (adult female/medium size). Snug without feeling overly tight. Fabric ear loops not adjustable, but comfortable; they're softer than plain elastic so don't dig in, but thicker and may be a bit too short and possibly pull a little at ears, but they're not slipping off. (At first I thought ear loops were too loose. I also wear extra blue light lenses when using electronics which may account for extra space being taken up on ears.) No bad odor of masks. White mask not as white as inside of black mask, but white mask looks white. Standard shipping didn't take long, much less than estimated time. Was offered free set for honest review. Wish more companies would offer incentives to review, as I find ratings so helpful. Would like to write about other purchases, just can't seem to find time, and offer helped me "make" time. Haven't washed masks yet. Will try to update washing, ear loop length. So far, masks seem to be excellent design/quality/construction, exactly what I was trying to find for everyday general use in one pack.

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!

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! New York City is the most exciting place on earth so come on in and explore the best that the city has to offer! You may find it helpful too: 15 Thai restaurants you should try in Manhattan.1.

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.

The locals will always argue over which county has the most beautiful scenery, but you can't go wrong if you put the brooding loneliness of Connemara, the dramatic wildness of Donegal, the majestic mountains of Mourne, the world-famous scenery of counties Kerry and Cork, and the celebrated Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland on your to-visit list. The small island is right here waiting: 1. Connemara National Park To the southeast of Letterfrack lies Connemara National Park, a 2000-hectare expanse of bog, mountains, heath, and woodlands. The park contains several of the Twelve Bens, including Bencullagh, Benbrack, and Benbaun. Its centerpiece is Gleann Mór (Big Glen), through which the River Polladirk flows. There are excellent hiking opportunities in the glen and on the surrounding mountains, as well as shorter self-guided walks. 2. Cork City Gaol This prison is an imposing former prison that is worth a visit to get a sense of how awful life was for prisoners a century ago. The tour is very moving, bringing home the harshness of the 19th-century penal system. The most common crime was that of poverty; many of the inmates were sentenced to hard labour for stealing loaves of bread. The prison closed in 1923, reopening in 1927 as a radio station that operated until the 1950s. The on-site Governor's House has been converted into a Radio Museum where, alongside collections of beautiful old radios, you can hear the story of radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi's conquest of the airwaves. 3. Kells Bay House & Gardens This estate was opened in 1837 as a hunting lodge. It spans over 17 hectares and incorporates a waterfall, beach, and six different gardens that range from palms to a primeval fern forest with dinosaurs carved from fallen trees. 4. Old Library & Book of Kells The Old Library at Trinity College is home to some of the most treasured books and artifacts in Dublin. The centerpiece is the Book of Kells, a beautiful illuminated manuscript of the four Gospels of the New Testament. Unfortunately, only a few pages are on display at any given time, so visitors may only get a quick glimpse of this amazing book. However, they can spend more time in the Long Room, which houses over 200,000 of the library's oldest and rarest volumes. Other displays in the Old Library include a copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, read by Pádraig Pearse at the beginning of the Easter Rising in 1916, as well as the Trinity College Harp, the oldest medieval harp in Ireland and the model for the Guinness logo and the flag of the Irish president. 5. Guinness Storehouse The most popular attraction in Dublin is the Guinness Storehouse, a seven-storey museum devoted to the beer, the company’s history, how the beer is made, and how it became the brand it is today. The top floor Gravity Bar is an atrium bar, where you can test your pouring power and drink a pint. Just below it is an excellent restaurant for lunch. 6. Kilmainham Gaol You absolutely must visit Kilmainham Gaol, former prison, if you desire to understand Irish history, especially the long-running resistance to British colonial rule. The former prison in Ireland that is now a museum. The museum has an enthralling exhibit on the history of Irish nationalism. The tour of the prison takes about 90 minutes and finishes in the yard where the leaders of the failed 1916 Easter Rising were executed. 7. Dublin Castle Dublin Castle has been a central part of Irish history for 700 years, playing both positive and negative roles. The castle complex now houses the Irish government and various functions are held there. A guided tour is the only way to see the best parts of the castle, including the State Apartments, St. Patrick's Hall, and the medieval undercroft. The castle grounds also display a variety of architectural styles from different centuries. 8. Monasterboice In the eery atmosphere due to the crowing ravens, the Monasterboice monastic site contains a cemetery, two ancient church ruins, one of the finest and tallest round towers in Ireland, and two of the most important high crosses. The Monasterboice monastic site was founded in the 5th or 6th century by St. Buithe. The site probably had pre-Christian significance. The river is named after St. Buithe. An invading Viking force took over the settlement in 968, only to be expelled by Donal, the Irish high king of Tara. 9. Rock of Cashel The Rock of Cashel is a historic site containing a round tower, a 13th-century Gothic cathedral, and the finest 12th-century Romanesque chapel in Ireland. The chapel is home to some of the land's oldest frescoes. The highlight of the Rock is the early-12th-century Cormac's Chapel, an exquisite Romanesque chapel with beautifully carved doorways and the precious remains of colourful wall paintings. 10. Newgrange Newgrange is a remarkable prehistoric site in Europe, famous for the illumination of its passage and tomb during the winter solstice sun. Newgrange, together with Dowth and Knowth, are the three main Megalithic passage tombs that make up the Brú na Bóinne Unesco World Heritage site. The site is ancient, constructed about 5200 years ago, and predates Egypt's pyramids by some six centuries.

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 zoo has great views of the harbor, and the animals seem very happy and well-cared for. 3. Sydney Sea Life Aquarium The Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is a great place for kids of all ages. The variety of tanks and other attractions will keep them entertained for hours. The highlights of the aquarium include the Perspex-enclosed walk-through shark tank, The penguin boat ride, the dugong, and the Great Barrier Reef tank. The aquarium also offers a variety of add-on activities, such as the Shark Dive Xtreme, the icy penguin encounter, and the glass-bottomed boat ride. 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!

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!

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.

It is situated on the coast of the Bay of Biscay, just 20 km from the French border, so you'll find that the people who live here are called donostiarra, in both Spanish and Basque. San Sebastián is an incredibly attractive city, with golden beaches and lush hillsides. It has a great dining scene and some beautiful architecture, and there is always something going on in terms of culture.

San Telmo Museoa The San Telmo Museoa is one of the best museums in the Basque Country. It has a thought-provoking collection that explores Basque history and culture in all its complexity.

The collection ranges from historical artefacts to bold fusions of contemporary art. 8. Peine del Viento The Peine del Viento (Wind Comb) sculpture is a symbol of the city, and is the work of the famous Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida and architect Luis Peña Ganchegui. It was installed in 1977, and is made of giant iron shapes anchored by pink granite. The Peine del Viento is spread across three nearby sites, and its powerful but mysterious forms look all the more striking against the wave-battered coastline.

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.
