[04/09/2007] "Aux Champs Elysees... Aux Champs Elysees... Au soleil, sous la pluie... " Do you know the song? If not, at least you must have heard of the Champs Elysees. French people like to call it "The most beautiful avenue of the world". I am sorry to contradict them, but I have always wondered why. It is in fact quite ordinary. You'll find lots of cars, bad traffic, nice crowded shops and over-expensive coffee. That's it. Oh no! How could I forget? Among all that, you will find one of the most famous sights in Paris: the Arc de Triomphe. It was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 in order to c [more]

Campiello S Giustina

Venice

92%

excellent

[03/09/2007] Finding a cheap flight to Venice was easy. Only once it was booked did I realize that finding cheap accomodation was another story. Travelling with my boyfriend on a budget, I soon came to the conclusion that only a Bed and Breakfast could provide us with a good, cheap, private room. Indeed, Bed and Breakfast Campielle San Giustina was all we needed. - Location The B&B was ideally located in a quiet area of Venice, within walking distance of San Marco and the Rialto Bridge (probably about 10 minutes but we got lost every single time). It is also just a couple of minutes from the Vapor [more]

Rygerfjord Hotel & Hostel

Stockholm

95%

very good

[30/08/2007] Two years ago, my boyfriend and I spent a wonderful week end in Stockholm. The Rygerfjord was the hotel where we spent 2 nights. First of all, I should warn you: most of the hotels in Stockholm seem incredibly expensive. After searching the internet, I soon realized that I would never be able find anything good for less than £80 a night (we were looking for something around £50). Some of the hostels seemed really good, although they didn't offer any private rooms, as we wanted. This is when I found out about a boat that serves as a hotel: the Rygerfjord.

Sokol

Ljubljana

87%

excellent

[30/08/2007] Gostilna Sokol is a restaurant based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. They serve good traditional food at competitive prices. Sokol is very easy to find. It is located in the city centre, close to the castle, next to the Town Hall. Just look for an eagle outside the door, and you will know this is the right place. The inn is popular both with local and tourists. The place is huge, with tables on two floors. Staff is dressed in traditional Slovenian costumes. We found our waiter to be particularly helpful. He spoke great English and seemed happy to describe all the dishes to us and help us mak [more]

Tour Montparnas se

Paris

96%

excellent

[30/08/2007] Tour Montparnasse (Montparnasse Tower) is the one ugly building in the middle of Paris. Its construction took place from 1969 to 1972. Its 58 floors are mainly occupied by offices. It is 210 meters high, which makes it France's tallest skyscraper. And in my opinion (and most people's I am sure), it is also the ugliest. So if it is that awful to look at, you might be wondering what is so good about visiting it. Here's my theory. -Tour Montparnasse Vs Tour Eiffel The Eiffel Tower looks great and magnificent. When visiting Paris for the first time, you must absolutely go to the top and a [more]

Torget i Bergen

Bergen

good

[29/08/2007] After reading so much about this wonderful fish market in Bergen, I was so looking forward to my trip to Torget. I must say it was quite dissappointing. First, the market is really small. There are many stalls selling souvenirs, a few selling fruits and vegetables and of course, the central part is dedicated to fish and seafood. The first thing that surprised me is the international staff. I was talked to in 5 different languages, rarely English and never Norwegian. Now, I know I must have the word "tourist" written on my face, but I had imagined old Norwegian fishermen, not young inter [more]
