Located in the state of Queensland, about 1700 km from the state capital Brisbane, Cairns is a city to enjoy the beauties of the sea and the land. Its great feature is that it offers a great structure to explore the Great Barrier Reef and at the same time allow you to get to know the rainforest and the culture of the aborigines.

It is one of Australia's top tourist destinations and most people who visit it focus on diving or snorkeling in the Great Barrier, which is said to be the only living organism that can be seen from space. The Great Barrier Reef spans 2,300 km from the Queensland coast to Papua New Guinea and is over 60 km wide in parts. It is formed by more than 700 species of corals and has an incredible biological diversity, which leads many students in the area to visit the place for study and housing.

Turtles, sharks, huge crustaceans, fish of the most varied species, weights, sizes and colors; Corals with curious appearances are not to be missed in Cairns. This is the place to dive into the water and let yourself be carried away by the beauties of the seabed. No matter the age or type of dive, the important thing is to see these breathtaking "landscapes" up close!

Boats of all sizes are part of the city's scenery, as they are the ones that take tourists to diving spots along the coast. There are half-day tours and several-day tours, usually aimed at those who want to take a course to obtain a diver certification, after all, there's nothing like learning to scuba dive in one of the best places in the world to do so! Regardless of the duration of the tour, it is recommended to look for a company that visits areas of the “outside reef”, where the variety of animals is greater and there are more preserved corals.

Cairns is “The destination”, for diving, but that's not all there is to do on a trip to the place. Land attractions also deserve a space in the itinerary, especially the tour that goes to Kuranda, an aboriginal village in the middle of the forest. The village itself is interesting, but even more interesting is the way you get there; it is possible to go (or return) by train and also by skyrail - a cable car with more than 7.5 km that passes over the trees. Some cabins still have a glass floor, so you can see that sea of ​​centenary trees passing under your feet.

When in the city center, take the time to walk the Esplanade and take a dip in the Lagoon Esplanade, a public pool on the waterfront that replaces swimming on the beach, as the sea in this area is full of jellyfish. Visit the Night Market for some overnight shopping and be sure to try some of the great ice cream the city has! Cairns' nightlife is lively and anyone who likes to have a cool drink at the end of the day or bet their chips at the casino will have fun every day!

Cairns' main attraction is the Great Barrier Reef, an immense living structure made up of several reefs, islands and atolls and incredible biodiversity for nature lovers. The Great Barrier is over 2,300 km long and much of it is close to the coast of Queensland, a state of which Cairns is a part. There are several other destinations in the state that allow access to the barrier, but Cairns is the largest and best-structured city.

Getting to know the great barrier is an emblematic feat in the lives of many people and a very special moment, so choose carefully your activities and the company that will make your tour. The most common activities are snorkeling (where you stay on the surface and see the corals through the mask and breathing tube) and scuba diving, which is done with an oxygen balloon. Diving is practiced by those who are certified as a scuba diver, but guided, shallower diving is also offered to those who are not certified.

When choosing your activities at the barrier, take into account that there are many different companies and each one has its differential. Some companies have large boats, which stop at a platform in the middle of the sea, where you can ride a semi-submarine, a glass bottom boat, take a dive, take a helicopter ride, in addition to snorkeling, of course. Other boats are smaller and take to more exclusive points of the barrier, making stops in two or three different areas for tourists to practice snorkeling or diving. There is a huge variety of companies, and for those who really prioritize diving, our suggestion is to opt for agencies that take you to the area "outside" the barrier, especially on small boats, which have smaller groups and a more exclusive service.

Cairns is on the edge of the sea, it is true, but the sea near the city is practically not used for diving because its stretch of sand is small, because the water is muddy and, mainly, because this area has many jellyfish. To get around the fact that Cairns' waterfront is not suitable for diving, there is Esplanade Lagoon, a public saltwater pool that doubles as a "beach". The place is very nice for a dip and is very well located, on the Esplanade, which is the seafront road and which has several restaurants. The boardwalk by the sea is also very cool for an outdoor walk, it has grassed areas to enjoy the sun, bike path, public barbecues and a walking area.

For those who like the beach and are not satisfied with the Esplanade Lagoon, there are two options: take a trip to the islands near Cairns or visit Port Douglas. On islands such as Fitzroy, Michaelmas Cay and Green Island, it is possible to take a day trip and spend just a day enjoying the sea or even stay there if you decide to stay longer. In Port Douglas, nearby Cairns, there are several beautiful beaches and a peaceful atmosphere, great for those who want to relax.

In addition to the sea, another popular attraction in Cairns is the visit to the village of Kuranda, which is located in the middle of the forest. To get to or from the place, don't miss the opportunity to ride the Skyrail Forest Cableway, a cable car that passes high above the treetops, and the Kuranda Scenic Railway, a tourist train line between Kuranda and Cairns that passes through beautiful landscapes.

If you like to appreciate the fauna and flora, some nice tours to include in the itinerary are the Cairns Botanical Garden and the Cairns Tropical Zoo, where you can not only touch the animals, but interact with several of them. Another option is to take one of the numerous tours to the Daintree Forest, which is considered to be the oldest rainforest in the world.

Cairns is a city with a lot of structure for tourism and this is reflected in the hotel sector. There are accommodations for all budgets and tastes, from those who care more about the economy and want to stay in a hostel to those who don't need to save and can afford a luxurious room.

Hotel prices vary widely; compared to Australia's big cities like Melbourne and Sydney, staying in a spot in the tourist hubbub of Cairns isn't that expensive. There are many well-equipped rooms in the city, where you will find a mini-kitchen, microwave, cutlery and other utensils to prepare a quick meal - in which case, the room may only receive a visit from a maid at the end of the stay.

When choosing your hosting location, there is not much mystery. Most hotels are located in the center, some further away from the hustle and bustle, others closer. The city center is really small, but the blocks are big, so if you don't like to walk, choose where you will stay.

For those who prioritize location, the best idea is to stay close to places like the Esplanade, the seaside avenue, Esplanade Lagoon, or close to the Reef Fleet Terminal, the place where boat trips depart. In this area you will find hotels such as the Shagri-La, which overlooks the sea, the Mantra Esplanade and the Pacif Hotel, which is good value for money.

It is impossible to remain indifferent to Venice. The buildings, the canals, the alleys, the churches, the monuments: each step reveals a story to be discovered, a new mystery to be revealed, a romance to be lived.

Elected numerous times the most beautiful city in the world, a visit to Venice is a visit to the history of humanity. Its many museums, buildings and palaces keep the history of hundreds of years intact, as if time, precisely marked by the clock on the tower in Piazza San Marco, had simply not passed.

Between San Marco and Rialto, the labyrinth of narrow streets invites the visitor to get lost and marvel, at every moment, with a new discovery, a new look, a new piece of this incomparable and unforgettable city.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/25341668375841.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
History

Visiting Venice is, above all, a dive into the history of the Serenissima Republic, which began more than 1300 years ago. With pride, the Venetians preserve and present to visitors from all over the world the history of their navigations, their wars and victories for dominating the Adriatic Sea.

It also enchants the history of the doges, who ruled the republic, but had limited power. While in other countries monarchs abused their power in monarchical regimes, Venice was one step ahead. Even those who are not interested in history are not indifferent to this fascinating epic, which seems alive in the centuries-old streets and bridges of Venice.

Yes, time seems to run smoothly like in ancient times in Venice. Quiet like its serene canals or like the squares where children still play carefree. There are no cars, motorcycles or other means of transport and people walk on foot, as in the old days, while all transport is done by boat – from deliveries to garbage collection and even burials.

Hard to define, hard to summarize, but easy to love. Knowing Venice is feeling small in the face of history, but at the same time realizing that, at the end of it all, borders, flags and cultures are nothing more than fascinating pieces of this unique walk of humanity through the centuries. 177 canals, 118 islands, 400 bridges and one city: Venice. fall in love! 
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/88251668375860.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Like every very touristy city, Venice has some mandatory stops, starting with the beautiful and imposing Piazza San Marco, the true heart of the city. But in addition to the formidable basilica that gives its name to the square, the famous bell tower, the Ducale Palace, the Correr Museum and the Archaeological Museum are on site.

From an area of ​​the square, it is also possible to see two more great gems of the history of art and architecture on the other side of the Grand Canal: the basilicas of São Jorge Maior and Nossa Senhora da Saúde.

But it doesn't stop there... Centenary churches are some of the city's great attractions and are everywhere. Our highlight goes to the impressive basilicas of São Pedro de Castello, Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and São João and São Paulo.

bridges and canals

Another must-see in Venice are the various bridges, starting with the most famous of them, the Rialto, but not forgetting the Ponte dell'Accademia, the Sighs, the Constitution and the Barefoot bridges. Also worth a visit are the Rialto market, museums, palaces and the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.

The best thing about Venice, however, is walking and getting lost among fields and alleys, discovering landscapes, architectural gems and time marks, feeling like you are in another era. Visit the postcards, but be sure to appreciate the beauty that unfolds and surprises around every corner. One of the few cities in the world where no one cares about getting lost, as each path is a discovery!

St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco)
Piazza San Marco is the heart of Venice. It contains some of the most important tourist attractions of the Serenissima Republic, such as the Basilica of San Marco, which houses the...

The Rialto Bridge region has some very interesting options for a romantic dinner on the banks of the Grand Canal or in some charming alley there. Enjoy the sunset from...

Before choosing your hotel in Venice, it is good to understand a little about the geography of the city, whose shape resembles the silhouette of a fish. This is because the establishment may be located in the large administrative area, but not necessarily in the most interesting areas from a tourist point of view.

Well, the central area of ​​Venice is divided into six sestieri, or districts, in plain English. There are several islets and channels that, in the end, form one thing.

San Marco is the most famous and touristy of them. So touristy that, at certain times of the year, it is difficult to walk through the alleys with tranquility, so many people come and go. It is there, for example, that the Basilica and San Marco Square are located, as well as the Ducalle Palace.

Next to S. Marco is the district of Castello, the largest of the Sestieri and where we stayed during our stay. The neighborhood has a delightful waterfront for walking (Riva), traditional alleys, canals and bridges all around. Not to mention a large number of cafes/bars, shops and attractions, such as the church of S. Giovanni and S. Paolo. Staying in the region is also a guarantee of being close to everything that matters.

Cannaregio and Dorsoduro are two other passionate districts in Venice and, by the way, quieter compared to Castello and S. Marco. Cannaregio, for example, is much more residential, with its canals, alleys, bars and restaurants that serve delicious typical foods. Watching the sunset from one of the bridges/channels is a real spectacle!
A stronghold of art, the neighborhood has some of the best museums in Venice, such as the Gallerie dell'Academia and the Peggy Guggenheim collection. Not to mention that Dorsoduro's nightlife is really pulsating!

However, within the upper curve of Venice's Grand Canal is the small district of San Polo, which is home to some important sights, such as the Ponte di Rialto and the Rialto Market. Ah, the region is also excellent for walking without commitment and also eating the delicious cicchetti, traditional snacks from Venice.

Finally, bordering the Grand Canal, S. Polo and Dorsoduro, is Santa Croce, the district that houses the important bus station in Piazzale Roma. This is even the only region of Venice that offers access by land.

<h1 dir = "auto">Visit Loire Valley - France</h1>
<h2 dir = "auto">Those who book their trip through Bitbook.net Always benefit with a cashback.</h2>
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/3071668373510.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>
Imagine a land of kings, queens and noble families, with long grassy fields, wine producer, with medieval buildings and, above all, imposing and exuberant castles. It sounds like a fairy tale story, but this place exists: it's the Loire Valley (Val de Loire, in French), about two hours' drive from Paris.

The Loire Valley is a region of about 800km² that is home to several historic towns and castles built along rivers such as the Cher, the Vienne and especially the Loire River. This region served as a refuge for the French nobility, who, especially during the 15th and 16th centuries, built their châteaux, castles and palaces of magnificent proportions, holiday or permanent residences that blend medieval and Renaissance styles.

The Jardin de France (as the Loire Valley became known) is today a major tourist destination, sought after mainly by history buffs and romantic lovers of a movie-worthy setting. And don't think that this scenery is just to be seen from afar; best of all, most of the châteaux (there are said to be more than 300) can be visited from the inside and are open to tourists. Others work as accommodation - that is, in addition to visiting the castle, you have the opportunity to sleep in it!

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/25931668373588.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>
Châteaux such as Chambord - the largest castle in the Loire Valley - or Chenonceau - which belonged to women like Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici - are must-see programs on the tourist itinerary. It has a château surrounded by water, like D'azay-Le-Rideau; château-fortaleza, such as Chinon; Leonardo da Vinci's chateau; and there's even the Château do Tintin (Cheverny), which inspired the character's author to create the fictional Moulinsart palace. The Loire (pronounced "luárr") has castles of all types and, as there are many, it's good to prepare your favorites list before you go - it's hard not to be heartbroken to have to choose just a few.

Pair this picturesque setting with charming towns like Blois and Amboise, which have cobblestone streets, old buildings, arched bridges spanning rivers, and the quiet, country-town vibe. Rent a car to take a leisurely stroll, enjoy the green fields and the local houses, and, of course, take time out of your day to delight in French cuisine - preferably accompanied by a wine. The Loire Valley is an enchanting place: a present dream, but full of the glamor of past centuries.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/79981668373683.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>
Without a doubt, the main attractions of the Loire Valley are the châteaux - sumptuous castles and palaces, one more beautiful than the other. While they look amazing from the outside, you might be wondering if entering the castles is allowed; fortunately we can answer yes.

Each of the châteaux has a different attraction: some stand out more for their gardens than for the appearance of the building itself; others draw attention for their imposing construction or the number of rooms; others, for the location, or for the interior of the building, or for the history, for the wealth of details... in short, there are countless castles and each one of them has its peculiarities. As there are many châteaux (it is said that there are more than 300), it is necessary to make a selection of which ones to visit, according to your interests.

A castle not to be missed on your itinerary is the Château de Chambord, which is the largest castle on the Loire and really impresses with its grandeur. It began to be built in 1519 and is surprising for having a roof full of towers and chimneys; It's worth visiting the castle terrace and the incredible view from up there! The Château de Chenonceau is a strong contender in the list of “the most beautiful castles of the Loire”, it is difficult to remain indifferent to it. In addition to being built over the River Cher, this castle is distinguished from the others by the strong female influence throughout its history. Two beautiful gardens and a labyrinth add a special touch to the external beauty of Chenonceau.

To discover a beautiful castle inside and out, is the Château D'Azay-Le-Rideau, which has a collection of very beautiful rugs. The Château Real de Amboise, where Leonardo da Vinci's body is buried, is also very beautiful and has a spectacular view! If you like wine, it is worth including a château that produces the drink in the itinerary.

Try to get to know the cities in the region. Blois, Tours, Amboise and their neighbors are very graceful, pleasant for wandering aimlessly and occasionally getting lost. The ancient architecture of these cities is an invitation to take a walk, which can be made much better with a stop for a hot chocolate.

Don't forget that French cuisine is spectacular and that eating well is also an attraction of the Loire Valley. Take a moment out of your day to delight in the restaurants and understand why French cuisine is so appreciated around the world. 
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/79011668373818.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>
The most central cities with the most châteaux around are Tours, Amboise and Blois – choosing one of these cities as a base, you will be close to many castles and, in the centres, you will have access to shops, restaurants, etc. Among the three cities mentioned, we suggest staying in Tours, considered the "capital" of the region; it is one of the largest cities in the Loire Valley and offers a good structure for a tourist. An alternative that we suggest for those who are not sure where to base their base is not to stay in just one city; try to stay in different cities and, thus, get to know not only the castles, but also the urban attractions.

Regarding the location of accommodation, consider that in urban areas of cities it will be easier to have access to trains and buses and staying in the center is the best option for those who do not rent a car or for those who want to know the cities on foot. Those who rent a vehicle can afford to choose a less central accommodation, given the ease of getting around with a car.

Despite giving the impression of being an exclusive and perhaps expensive location, it is not difficult to find budget accommodation in the Loire Valley. There are accommodations for different profiles and pockets, mainly because in France there are good hotel chains.

A city surrounded by mountains and beautiful beaches bathed by the Adriatic Sea, Mediterranean climate, quality cuisine, fun day and night, in addition to a lot, a lot of history. That's Split, Croatia's second largest city and one of Europe's most coveted summer destinations in recent times.

To give you an idea, the city, which is located on the strategic coast of Dalmatia, that is, very well located, is also one of the sunniest places on Earth - a total of 2,700 hours a year.

There is also one of the most important and busiest ports in the region, which connects the city not only to nearby islands such as Brač, Vis and Hvar - which you can also check here on Best Destinations -, but also cities like Ancona, in Italy. For the record, more than a thousand islands are scattered along the coast of the country, which is absolutely passionate about the art of navigation.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/58951668367868.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Walking along the cobbled streets of Split is something that, in addition to being pleasant - due to the large number of shops, bars and restaurants -, makes the visitor immerse himself in history. And how can we talk about Split without mentioning its main attraction, the imposing Diocletian's Palace? A UNESCO heritage site, the building, built by one of the greatest Roman emperors and surrounded by walls measuring 215m x 181m, guards the city's most precious treasures. 
<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/62641668367950.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
In Split you will find a happy, welcoming people who are very proud of their origins. The official language is Croatian, but, as in every very touristy city, it is possible to get by very well with the English language. Although Croatia has recently joined the European Union, the country's currency remains the Kuna (HRK).
Imagine a complete summer destination, where, in addition to beautiful beaches, unforgettable landscapes and excellent infrastructure, you can also count on good restaurants/bars, museums and sites full of history. When you opt for Split and the islands close to it - such as Brač, Vis and Hvar - you'll find all this and more.

To explore the region properly, you will need a certain amount of time available - at least three days in each place, if the intention is to visit the main tourist attractions and, of course, relax. Access to the islands by ferry is also very easy, with no need to buy a ticket in advance.

Plenty of sunscreen, light clothes and footwear suitable for hiking/hiking (and also for going into the sea) are highly recommended for those who intend to visit the region during the hottest period of the year, which runs from mid-June to August. What's more, it's relaxing and enjoying the beauties of the Dalmatian coast, a region full of unique destinations and intense programming, both during the day and at night!

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/64451668368118.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
The beach, situated on the south side of the island of Brač, is considered the most beautiful in all of Croatia. It's also no wonder, as the most photographed scenery in the country is truly paradisiacal: blue sea, excellent for swimming and for practicing sports, in addition to the strip of sand that extends 500 meters into the sea, the so-called Golden Horn.

The beach has an excellent structure, with parking lots, restaurants like Zlatni Rat, bars and hotels, but it is good to remember that, in the summer, the place usually attracts a huge amount of tourists - which is not very suitable for those who are in search for peace.

How to get there: The beach is 2km on foot from the center of Bol and 35km from Supetar (by car or bus).

In Split and the nearby islands you will find the most varied types of accommodation. There are luxury hotels and resorts, inn-style establishments, hostels and several season apartments.

it is necessary to pay attention only to the time of stay, if the intention is to save money on accommodation. This is because the period from mid-June to the end of August is considered the busiest in the city and, consequently, the most expensive.

Split is a small city where the best hotels and holiday apartments are concentrated in the old town (Split Old Town), a region that brings together the main attractions of the city, such as the busy Riva (waterfront), with bars/restaurants, museums and monuments. . In addition, it is possible to do practically everything on foot, which makes the tour of the friendly city even more pleasant.

<h2 dir = "auto">Those who book their trip through Bitbook.net Always benefit with a cashback.</h2>

Small, cozy and charming. Siena is worthy of all these adjectives and many others. Seen from above, it looks like a maze of narrow streets, which reminds us of its medieval essence. Walking through the streets of Siena is like being in a movie about the Middle Ages. The streets, occupied by buildings made of stone in Romanesque and Gothic styles, among others, hold good surprises: museums, shops, restaurants and ice cream parlors make the city a mixture of the old and the new.

Museums keep treasures and enchant by architecture. The churches, then, are not even talked about. Each building grander than the last. And if you like to relax, how about sitting down and having an ice cream in the famous Piazza del Campo, setting of the Palio di Siena, a centuries-old horse race that fills the city every year? Siena is many in one: it has culture, art, parks, fairs, monuments that fascinate, landscapes that impress. And always with a touch of delicacy, like the flowers that residents leave in the windows. A courtesy of the Sieneses for tourists.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/66191668366449.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Siena has unmissable monuments: the Torre del Mangia, for example, offers a breathtaking view. Orto de'Pecci is an oasis for those who want to relax: it has an incredible green field, a beautiful landscape and even a medieval vegetable garden. Do you like fairs? Mercato de Santa Barbara moves the city every Wednesday. The Duomo is another hidden treasure in Siena: beautiful on the outside, wonderful on the inside!

In short, you can't choose a favorite Tuscan city until you get to know Siena. The city is so preserved that it seems to have stopped in time. But the merchants, the tourists and the daytime hustle are there to remind us that time hasn't stopped, it's just been too generous with this amazing place!

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/4051668366498.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Despite its small size, Siena has a wide range of attractions. As in all of Italy, churches attract attention and are part of the list of things to do in the city. Among the main ones are the basilicas of San Domenico and San Francesco, in addition to the famous Duomo, of course. Among the museums, the must-see are the Pinacoteca Nazionale and the Museo dell'Opera, with several works by Senese artists and a special attraction, the Facciatone, from which you have a beautiful view of the city!

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/78451668366717.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Piazza del Campo is the center of tourism in Siena. There are the Torre del Mangia and the Palazzo Pubblico, which today houses the Museo Civico. Climbing the tower is tiring, but the reward can be felt as soon as we reach the top. The landscape is breathtaking! I don't feel like leaving at all.

For those who want to be closer to nature, we suggest the botanical orto, with beautiful plants and a breathtaking view, and the Orto de' Pecci, a refuge in the middle of the city.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/93501668366828.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Despite being very small, Siena has 17 "neighborhoods" (yes, 17!). This is confirmed when we walk around the city: residents of each of these neighborhoods (which are actually tiny－ some are just a single street) place flags in the windows and, in this way, we can see how local people are. Neighborhood that translates into the famous Palio di Siena race, inclusive. Despite these divisions, the city is very small and, for accommodation, you can only consider two areas: inside the wall and outside the wall.

Staying inside the wall (historic center) is an advantage, as most attractions are there. You won't have to walk far to move around the city. There is also no need to worry about noise from tourists at night: the city does not have a busy nightlife and therefore has no problem with noise, even in the busiest areas. The price of hotels in the historic center, however, tends to be a little higher, due to the location.

There are several hotels outside the wall. The furthest ones are about 2 kilometers from the historic center; others, just 500 meters away. Siena is small and, even though it is out of the center, it usually doesn't take long to reach the main monuments. Staying outside the wall can be interesting for those who do not like crowded places and prefer more tranquility. Regarding security, there is nothing to worry about. You can walk outside the wall peacefully at night. Despite being more deserted, there are no records of robberies in the region. Outside the wall, there are good hotels with more reasonable prices.

When choosing the hotel, it is worth calculating the distance to the historic center and, if you have a car, check if the hotel has a garage (in general, only hotels outside the city walls have this privilege).

The beautiful city of Rome is Vibrant, modern, elegant, bustling, full of culture and with lots of entertainment options.
This amazing city has about 2.8 million people in its metropolitan area is full of history.
To help you choose where to travel, today we gonna show you how amazing this city is.
A great and ancient city filled with art, history and great gastronomy.
Walking through the streets of Rome is a true journey into a glorious millenary past; seeing the ruins of the so-called Eternal City up close transports the visitor directly to the illustrious period of the empire. In tourist spots such as the Flavium Amphitheater, better known as the Coliseum, the stop is mandatory. The site — which was the stage for gladiator combat and animal battles — can be visited day and night in a simply unmissable tour.
Rome is a place where old and new blend seamlessly and entertainment options are numerous, at night and at dawn, the city is as lively as it is during the day.
The official language of the city is Italian, but those who speak English will have no communication difficulties. As in the rest of Italy, the local currency is the Euro.
Busy streets, lots of people coming and going and traffic that borders on chaos can be the first impressions of the visitor who has just arrived in Rome, the capital of Italy located in the Lazio region. However, it is likely that these first sensations take a back seat to the breathtaking beauty and rich historical heritage that the city has, in addition, of course, to the interesting museums, good restaurants and so many other reasons that attract a large number of tourists. to the locality every year.

In the northern part of Rome is Vatican City – the smallest independent state in the world, where the seat of the Catholic Church and the Pope's residence are located. There, visitors will find sights such as the sumptuous St. Peter's Basilica, whose dome is the highest point, St. Peter's Square and the Vatican Museums, with a valuable collection, including the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire it up close Michelangelo's work.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/86961668343342.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Rome is one of those destinations that looks like a playground for lovers of art, architecture and gastronomy. After all, just imagine walking through those charming cobbled streets and coming face to face with monuments so important to the history of humanity, visiting museums and squares full of priceless treasures, delighting in a beautiful Italian pasta accompanied by a glass of wine.
Rome is for sure a amazing city, and you need to visit this great city at least once!

On the banks of the River Tiber — and a few steps from the Vatican —, the visitor finds this beautiful and sumptuous castle, which currently functions as a museum. In the past, the site, inaugurated in 139, served as a tomb for the mortal remains of Emperor Hadrian and his family and also as a fortress and hiding place; a direct ticket to the Vatican was used by several Popes.

In total, the castle has six floors. On the second floor, for example, you can see up close the cells used by prisoners — some of them famous, such as Arnaldo de Brescia and Benvenuto Cellini. On the 4th floor, or Papal floor, is the Pope's apartment, dating from the 16th century. On the top floor, the visitor enjoys one of the most beautiful views of Rome.

The Castle is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9 am to 7:30 pm, and tickets cost €10 (full price) and €5 (half price); Admission is free on the first Sunday of each month.

The Amphiteatrum Flavium or Coliseum, as it is popularly known. And no first trip to Rome is complete without visiting this symbol of the Roman Empire, which began to be built in 72 AD. The action of time has left its mark on the beautiful construction, but it is still possible to have a good idea of the place that was the stage for the combat between gladiators and battles with animals, performances that used to be attended by an avid audience of up to 73 thousand people. 
To avoid the huge queues that form outside the Colosseum almost all year round, you must buy your ticket in advance online, using the the official website of the coliseum: https://www.coopculture.it/en/products/ticket-colosseum-forum-and-palatine-_24h/.&nbsp;
The day tour is very nice, on your own or guided, but the night tour exceeded all our expectations. That's because walking through the underground part and arena of an empty and peaceful Colosseum, all with the knowledge of a super competent guide, is amazing and a memory to keep forever!

By purchasing the Colosseum ticket, you are entitled to enter the Roman Forum: the center of civic and economic life in republican Rome. Here, you will discover the Via Sacra, the main street, and what remains of the temples of Vesta, Antonina and Faustina and the Arch of Septimius Severus. Ah, in the Forum it is also possible to take guided tours day and night, escaping the crowds and heat at certain times of the year; check the Coop Culture website to learn more about available packages.

Set aside a little time and also a coin to play at the Trevi Fountain; legend has it that the act will guarantee his return to the city. The masterpiece that was once a movie set is, in fact, the facade of a building decorated with beautiful statues, fountains and usually attracts so many visitors that, at certain times of the day, it is difficult to get around. The tip is to go there early or late at night.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/58581668344537.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Rome has a number of beautiful squares, but if your time in the city is short, we strongly advise you not to leave Piazza Veneza. Between it and the Capitol Hill, you'll also find the imposing monument Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, better known (informally, of course) as a wedding cake. When visiting the place, be sure to stop by the back, where is the Piazza del Campidoglio, an architectural project by none other than Michelangelo.
Other squares that, in our opinion, cannot be missing from the itinerary are Navona and Piazza di Spagna. Praça Navona is located in a large space decorated with beautiful fountains.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/19001668344802.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Hotel options in Rome abound! The Italian capital is a city that offers visitors from the most luxurious hotels, through establishments belonging to worldwide chains, bed &amp; breakfast style accommodation, seasonal apartments to hostels.

Those looking to save a few euros, however, need to plan ahead. That's because Rome, unfortunately, is considered one of the most expensive European capitals for accommodation, especially if comfort and good location are priorities.

The historic center is the most central area of Rome. is the most central area of Rome. Staying there, you'll probably do most or all of it on foot, as you'll be just a few minutes' walk from sights like the Pantheon, squares like Navona and palaces like the Phamphilj. Besides, walking without much commitment through the cobblestone alleys of the region is a very pleasant program.

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/35571668344946.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
Do you want to stay in the historic center, but in a less crowded area? Then, a good option is Campo de Fiori, known for the charming square of the same name and for housing a lot of restaurants, shops and cafes. In Campo de Fiori are the Damaso hotels and the Boutique Hotel Campo di Fiori, which in addition to very well decorated rooms, have apartments installed in nearby buildings, with an excellent location.

Another good alternative is the Jewish Ghetto, a region southeast of Campo de Fiori, excellent for those who want to get to know the real Rome. The hot tip there is to rent a season apartment! In this region, check out the accommodations at Kame Hall, a bed &amp; breakfast with inviting prices. San Giovanni is outside the central area, but offers good bed &amp; breakfast-style accommodation at very reasonable prices. The neighborhood is also super residential and has excellent subway connections to downtown.

Those looking for a more charming stay in the Eternal City can opt for areas such as Via Veneto and Villa Borghese, which are full of high-end establishments. A traditional region full of those super-narrow Roman streets, which have appeared in several famous films, is Trastevere. A neighborhood that houses a series of fantastic trattorias and that also offers a pulsating nightlife. It is worth checking the values of the VOI Donna Camilla Savelli Hotel, installed in a former convent, and the economical Hotel Ripa Roma.

The city's public transport system also leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to quality, but we cannot fail to mention that there is no better tip than putting on a comfortable pair of sneakers and exploring everything (or almost everything) on ​​foot. Along the cobblestone path of the historic circuit, you're sure to find plenty of history and art.
Most of Prague's main attractions are concentrated in the same region and that's why it's so easy to do everything on foot. In the old town (Staré Mesto), you will find the square that houses the city hall tower and the Clock which, in addition to marking the date and time, records the position of the sun, astronomical cycles, moon phases and holidays of the Christian calendar.&nbsp;

The main tip for those who want to explore the capital of the Czech Republic well is to explore it, as much as possible, on foot. Prague is simply perfect for walking and along the way, in addition to several monuments, you will find numerous charming streets, with buildings ranging from Gothic to Renaissance, full of history, shops, restaurants, and a host of other things that end up not being explored when choosing to use public transport.

It is obvious that the weather needs to be at least decent for this to be possible, but know that the main attractions in Prague are all very close to each other and this makes the tourist's life much easier. To get around the city efficiently, get a good paper or virtual map, if you use your smartphone.

Another tip that can help those traveling on a budget are tourist passes that entitle you to enter some tourist attractions, use unlimited public transport during the period, and discounts at certain museums, restaurants and the like.

The Prague City Pass allows entry to Prague Castle, St. George's Basilica, the Jewish Museum, Josefov Synagogues, among other tourist attractions, click here to see them all. Remembering that the Prague City pass also includes two tours: one by bus through the city center and another by boat on the Vltava River. The benefit costs 1,390 CZK (adults), 990 CZK (children) and can be purchased online.

The Prague Card includes a visit to the Castle, the Old Town Hall and the Petřín Tower, not to mention unlimited use of public transport. According to the website, by using the card, the visitor would save 1,520 CZK over three days. The Prague Card is available in two-, three- and four-day versions.

It's good to understand that Prague's neighborhoods have their own numbering system. This means that the central area of the capital of the Czech Republic is divided into districts, more precisely from 1 to 10.

Prague 1 (Praha 1), for example, is the heart and also the most touristy part of the city. This was the region where we stayed and we can say that it was a "hand in the wheel" to be close to important points such as the Old Town Square, in Staré Město, Prague Castle, in Malá Strana, among others.
Staying in Praha 1, you will be able to do everything (or almost everything) on ​​foot — apart from that you will be surrounded by cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, public transport, etc. The only problem with hotels in the region is the prices which, despite being cheaper than in other tourist cities in Europe, such as London and Paris, are still high by local standards. To get better prices, avoid high season (see here the best time to visit the city) or book in advance.

Another issue is that Praha 1 is very busy — especially Staré Město — and it also doesn't match the reality of the locals as it is extremely touristy. If your intention, therefore, is to discover life outside the tourist area of ​​the city, it may be better to stay in another neighborhood. Check out our suggestions:

Vinohrady - situated between two metro stations and with an excellent range of electric cable cars running around the area, Vinohrady is a popular residential area for young people today, as well as expats heading to Prague to work. A vibrant area full of cafes, restaurants and very close to Wenceslas Square, which means being well located.

Žižkov - situated in Prague 3, Žižkov starts where Vinohrady ends and, despite being further away, still maintains an excellent connection with the center of Prague (cablecars and metro station). In the area, the visitor will also find a good structure with restaurants, supermarkets and the like.

Karlín (Prague 8) - excellent neighborhood for those who want to stay in a quieter area — especially at night — but with good options for cafes and restaurants. To access the city center from this location in Prague, just take the yellow line B in Křižíkova (three to four stations).

About 300 kilometers away from Lisbon, in the North of Portugal, is Porto, the second largest city and also one of the oldest in the country. Located on the right bank of the Douro River, the destination enchants at first sight for the mixture of the concrete of the old buildings with breathtaking natural landscapes, for the history, first-class cuisine, attractions for all audiences and also for the receptivity to the tourist.

Walking through the charming alleys of Porto, by the way, is like revisiting the past. As we walk along the cobblestone pavement and marvel at such beauty, we feel the true spirit of the destination that, in 1996, had its historic center recognized as a World Heritage Site by Unesco (basically, up to the limits of the Medieval Wall).

And speaking of beautiful landscapes, those that leave anyone with their jaws dropped, we cannot fail to mention here the famous bridges of Porto, constructions that allow the contemplation of the city at the most different hours of the day. Among them is the Maria Pia railway bridge (1877), designed by none other than the Frenchman Gustave Eiffel.
Another well-known bridge is the Luís I road - whose structure was completed by an Eiffel student. Remembering that the visit to Porto is not complete without the tourist using the structure to cross to "the other side" of the Douro River, where Vila Nova de Gaia is located, a municipality where Port wine cellars are located, such as Sandeman, Taylor and Cálem. Places that promote guided tours every day and where the visitor will have a good idea of the typology, manufacturing methods and taste of the wine.

Because it is so important, it attracts many investments and in recent years it has become the focus of the tourist market, as it was considered one of the most interesting cities to visit and was listed as the 100 most visited cities in the world!

<img src="https://cdn.bitbook.net/images/49741668333786.jpg" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/>
As in most European countries, in Portugal the official currency is the Euro (€). The difference is that tourism in Portuguese cities is considered much more affordable than in Paris and London, for example.

Proof of this is that with 10 or 15 euros, even less than that, in some cases, you can have a nice meal in Porto. In addition, entrance fees to most attractions are not expensive, not even in Port wine cellars.

In the "capital of the North", as it is called, you will still find a very friendly people who tend to treat tourists well. Take advantage of the fact that you speak the same language as the hosts to fully explore all that the city has to offer, locals proudly speak about the wonders of the region, which is one of the most touristy in the country!

Porto is a city of countless possibilities and where you will certainly not be without something to do for a single minute. To enjoy all that this destination has to offer, it takes a certain breath - and not only to climb the steep stairs and slopes of the city, but also to make the most of the daytime and nighttime attractions.

Those who want to see a lot, but still save money, can purchase the Porto Card. A discount card that entitles you to museums and tourist attractions, grants discounts at restaurants, Cruises along the Douro River, in addition to allowing unlimited use of public transport.

In Porto, visitors will find accommodation options for all tastes, from luxurious hotels, establishments belonging to large global chains to inns.
To do everything (or practically everything) on foot: choose hotels located in the so-called Baixa Portuense. Addresses/sights in the city, such as Avenida dos Aliados, Torre dos Clérigos, São Bento Station and Rua de Santa Catarina, are excellent for those who want to be well located.
