Secluded Vacation

There is no inadequacy of European tours for the continent’s best tourist spots.

You can easily find packages that offer tours of Rome, London, Paris, or Madrid. But hundreds of Europe’s most exquisite locales are missed by tourists.

Budapest, for example, is one of Europe’s splendid cities. You can view breathtaking natural charm or mind-blowing architecture. You can tour a cornucopia of museums or visit the city’s unique natural abundance. This “City of the Spas” and “Queen of the Danube” is easily one of the most stunning cities in the world. Even the country’s citizens are continually – and pleasantly – awestruck at how lovely and diverse their city is.

Budapest’s Marvelous History

Once you are able to divert your eyes from the grand scene that encompasses you, a huge number of activities are at your disposal.

History enthusiasts will be amply drawn by the city’s museums. Visit the Aquincum Museum and have a look at the ruins of the ancient Roman Empire city of Aquincum.

Or check out the Budapest History Museum and Castle Museum. You’ll come across a huge collection displaying Budapest’s archaeological contribution to the Roman era.  Read more...

* It’s 12 noon and you’re in Rome, but are you in the central part of Rome? If you are, chances are that you will hear the bang of the cannon shot being fired at this time every day on top of the Janiculum Hill. This is a tradition that goes back to January 1, 1847, when Pope Pius IX introduced it to ensure that all timepieces would be set on the same time.

* Haven’t you always taught children never to peep through a keyhole? You’ll be surprised if instead we suggest you peep through a keyhole… and then maybe you will do the same with your children. We believe you will agree with us if you simply follow our instructions: just wait for the sunset, go up Aventine Hill in Rome, look for Giardino degli Aranci, or Orange Garden, and when it closes enjoy the glorious view of St. Peter’s Dome through the keyhole of the gate.  Read more...

Often referred to or known as the Auroras, the Northern Lights present a magnificent display of natural light in the night sky. Because these displays occur predominantly in the Polar Regions, they are even sometimes referred to as Aurora Borealis. The closer you get to the North Pole, the more intense and vivid these wonderful Northern Lights become.

While the northern lights usually appear high overhead when viewed from a location close to the magnetic north pole, as one moves further away from the north pole, this magnificent display of natural light tends to illuminate the horizon from one end to the other in a marvellous greenish glow. Having said that, there are times when the northern lights appear to be more of a red colour rather than green. When one considers the way in which these lights can appear to dance in the night sky is hardly surprising that some people view them as being almost eerie in a way, and this is perhaps why they have been referred to as a “dance of the spirits”.  Read more...
