Top 7 Things To Do In San Francisco
People who visit the city of San Francisco fall in love at first sight for its location around a bay and its European style, away from the noisy and chaotic big American cities. In addition, its mild climate and good gastronomy make it an essential stop on any trip to the Western United States. Crossing the Golden Gate and visiting Alcatraz Jail are just some of the reasons to visit this city of steep streets and hills. I am going to recommend here the essential places to see, so you can make the most of your stay in San Francisco. 1. Cross the Golden Gate in San Francisco The Golden Gate, inaugurated in 1937, is the symbol of the city and our favorite place in San Francisco. Being one of the most recognized bridges in the world, you can cross this icon to enjoy the best views of the city from its northern end. Marvel at this engineering masterpiece and take the mandatory selfie with the distinctive bridge at the background. This huge orange bridge, 227 meters high and almost 3 kilometers wide, that crosses the San Francisco Bay, has appeared in many films, photographs and lists of the most beautiful bridges in the world. The visit to the Golden Gate Bridge can be approached in many ways, although the most common are: walking from the visitor center in Presidio Park or crossing it by bike. 2. Alcatraz Jail Our second favorite place is one of the most famous and iconic places in the city that you cannot miss by any means: the famous Alcatraz Jail, which operated from 1934 to 1963. There are so many legends, movies and stories that revolve around what is possibly the most famous prison in the world. It is definitely a must-see in San
Things To Do In Bali — Top Activities And Attractions
Out of the more than 17,000 islands in Indonesia, Bali ranks among the most famous. Situated east of Java, the island has a storied past, having been occupied by the Dutch for over a century. Today, it’s among the top tourist destinations in Asia. If you’re wondering what to do on your tropical island getaway, don’t worry. You’ll find plenty of things to do in Bali. Read on for some great ideas about how you can spend your days and nights on this amazing island. Relax At The Beach In Bali Bali is home to dozens of beaches, though the best ones tend to be those around the Bukit Peninsula, Jimbaran, Kuta, and other areas in the south. Kuta, Seminyak, and Legian beaches are quite popular with tourists, so you can expect these places to be busy. That said, they’re ideal if you’re looking to make new friends and party at night. But if you’re after a beach that isn’t overrun with other people, you’ll find plenty to choose from too. One example is Nyang Nyang beach. Near Uluwatu Temple, its seclusion owes to a tall cliff overlooking the beach’s white sand. For something a bit different, you might want to check out Soka Beach. Located in the west, it’s a dramatic sight with its black sand. Making it even more picturesque are the Gunung Agung volcano on one side and lovely hills on the other. The beach’s coral rock formations add to its beauty. Have Fun In The Water Swimming and snorkeling are two awesome water activities in Bali. But if you’d like to get your adrenaline pumping, there are more vigorous watersports for you too. At famous Kuta Beach, for instance, you can join other surfers on fantastic waves. Wakeboarding and kitesurfing are likewise popular ways to have
A Tour Through The French Riviera: The Most Beautiful Towns on The Côte d’Azur
I propose to travel to one of the most popular coastal regions not only in France but in the entire Mediterranean. The Côte d’Azur is a summer destination full of amazing places: charming villages, paradisiacal beaches and emblematic cities. But above all, the Côte d’Azur is a luxury and glamorous vacation destination that is also known as the French Riviera. If you plan to travel to the Côte d’Azur, the first thing you have to do is to be clear about the places you want to visit. You can take different routes on the French Riviera to get to know the most popular places or go completely into one of the most beautiful regions of France. These are the most beautiful towns and cities on the Côte d’Azur: Nice We start with the capital of the Côte d’Azur and one of the most touristic cities in all of France. Nice is a very complete city that offers many tourist attractions to visit. I spent two full days and it was enough to me. From Nice I went to all the other places. Today Nice is the fifth city in France with more than 340,000 inhabitants and some 900,000 in its conurbation. A tourist center, but also an industrial center and an administrative center, the thriving city tries and manages, more and more, to rival Marseille. The city of Nice, on the Côte d’Azur, offers a magnificent mix of old-fashioned luxury, artistic charm and Mediterranean beaches. Also known as Nissa la bella (Nice The Pretty), this coastal enclave enjoys a pleasant and warm climate throughout the year, ideal for people who enjoy activities on the beach and tourist attractions. Your visit can start at Plaza Massena, one of the most emblematic points of the city, continuing with the Paseo Marítimo. We
Top 5 Reasons To Visit San Juan In Puerto Rico
Since Cristobal Colon landed in 1493 and until today, the archipelago of Puerto Rico has been consolidated as a tourist site with a wide cultural diversity, gastronomy and night celebrations. Made up of the main island and a significant number of keys and smaller islands (such as Mona, Vieques, and Culebra), the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is the closest coast to the continental United States and one of the most attractive sites in the north Caribbean. When the Spanish navigator took possession of the island, he baptized it with the name of San Juan Bautista and, according to some historians, he was completely amazed by the place. In 1505 Juan Ponce de León, its first ruler, received permission to explore it until he finally colonized it in 1508, reversing the names of San Juan and Puerto Rico, to be given to the capital and the State, respectively. Full of breathtaking natural landscapes and history, this island has a great diversity of ecosystems with rain and dry forests, mountainous areas, coastal marine ecosystems and beautiful lakes. Important clarification before planning the trip: the particular history of Puerto Rico has direct consequences for those who want to visit the country, as since 1898 the territory of Puerto Rico is American. To get to the Caribbean island, the same visa and the same immigration law procedures as those required to set foot on North American soil apply. We are going to focus on the capital, San Juan, but it applies to the entire country, since it is small in size. 1. Friendly climate The temperature fluctuates all year round between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, which means that it is always a good time to visit the island. The best time to visit San Juan and Puerto Rico is from mid-April to June,

Berlin: Following The Traces Of World War II
Berlin was one of the most important cities in one of the darkest episodes in human history, the World War II. Perhaps this is the reason why Berliners do not want to forget what happened, and the footprint remains in many buildings, where the impacts of bullets and other projectiles can still be seen. In Berlin, at every step, the black mark left in history by the Nazi regime is remembered. A city that does not allow itself to be forgotten and that, for this, takes advantage of each monument, each building and each document that has been left standing to remember everything that happened. Let´s discover some of the places that were part of the scene of the crudest events in this history, they are all worth it. Seeing so closely, even feeling and knowing that in the same place where you are people died or lived the terror of war can be hard, but it is also of a big lesson. A trip to Berlin invites us to reflect on this disastrous and regrettable event. Travelling is also good for this: to reflect, observe and learn. Underground Berlin To the north of the city, next to the Humboldthain Park, is the entrance to the underground Berlin. The guides are very nice and have a great knowledge of what is down there, as well as what happened. Although Hitler initially ensured that the German Luftwaffe would not let any other country bomb German cities, when German decline began in World War II, he began building bunkers in major cities, especially Berlin. During the Underwelten Museum tours, a guide escorts visitors through the bowels of one of the more than 3,000 bunkers that were built in the German capital. Going underground, you will be able to know how the bunkers
