Great views of both mt.Agung and the lombo strait. This place was damaged during the 1963 eruption of mt.Agung but the pools still fu…

Although Europe has a plethora of palace, I consider Versailles one of the best. It's a must see while in Paris.

The Real Alcazar, or old Moorish palace of Sevilla, is cultural inheritance of the UNESCO and is one of the main must-sees in the city. Where the castle stands now, has ones been a Roman city, a dome, Visigoth architecture, and an Arabic alcazaba. Yet what you see today is a Mudejar palace build by …

Ok... some may say… you see one palace you've seen them all. I’d probably agree with that considering the number I’ve seen. The Winter Palace is most defiantly no Versailles. The grounds are well kept and I'd estimate only 30% of the palace is restored and open to the public tour. If you have …

Ayutthaya was the capital of Thailand from 1350 to 1767, and is a great place to visit on a day trip from Bangkok.
We were bussed there and sailed back along the Chao Praya River into the centre of Bangkok.
Bang Pa-In on the way is definitely worth a stop too...it's a former Summer Palace of t…

I spent 1 day in Hyderabad during my last trip to India. Flew in in the morning and flew back in the evening. As such, my impressions may not represent an accurate review of the city. Perhaps on a return trip I will be able to refine my opinions. Nonetheless, my first impression was favorable. …

The Forbidden City and Tian'anmen Square are must dos in Beijing. Purely for their historical importance, but the aesthetic side is fascinating as well.
Most people start out seeing Tian'anmen Square. Although it bustles with the day to day business of city centre Beijing, there was - for me at l…

Topkapi is one of those tourist sites that you feel compelled to go to, whatever the cost, because when is the next time you are going to be in Istanbul? The entry fees are way over the top, even for Turkey (where high entrance fees abound!). It's 20 YTL just to get in, then another 10 YTL if you wa…

You really feel like you're living in the time of Sissi when you visit this palace. Everything is in the style of that time. Most rooms inside the palace are still exactly the same as they were years ago. You can see the orignial furniture, wall carpets and clothes of the prince and princess. Every …

After you've seen the Taj Mahal, you've pretty much seen all that Agra has to offer, especially if the army happens to be occupying the fort there, as they were when we visited this July. Every guide will want to take you shopping, where his "friends" make the "best" inlaid marble, woven carpets, t…

All I can say is: if you want to visit a park in Warsaw, visit Lazinski. We've payed way to much for the Wilanow gardens, which were sad, while this place is ten times bigger, nicer and it's for free.
There are several entrances to the park, most of them have bus stops in front. The park is most …

I think a must visit for everyone :) Even in the winter the garden was very nice, but I want to go back in spring or summer to see it again with all the fountains working and flowers.
In the palace you can see rooms in different styles from long ago to the last Queen that lived there. Unfortunately…

While Mandi may not be high on most tourist’s lists, possibly because little is written about the cultural and historical offerings here, Rajmahal Palace Hotel is worth a visit.

Almost every tourist that arrives in Caserta goes there with one target: to visit the Palace of Caserta (Reggia di Caserta). It is called the Italian Versailles because of the palace and the garden as well. The Royal Palace was designed by Vanvitelli in the mid 18th century on commission of the king…

The first stop on the tour was at Bang Pa-In, which is one of the summer palaces of the king. There are lots of gardens and they style is very much Versaillesque. For 200 bahts, rent a golf cart instead of walking since there is a lot of acreage and very hot.
The next stop on the tour was the anc…
