Geneva, the better quality of life d \'Europe Geneva

Europeans will be under way, will simply be that the holidays are approaching, but many of us begin to think about where to spend your holidays agognate… Without going too far - and perhaps without even taking the plane - to the second city Switzerland for extension , Geneva, which according to recent polls, was the first European city in terms of quality of life (along with the nearby Zurich)

But the city, tourists, offers much more: Perfect for long walks along the banks of the Rhone, immersed in an air certainly unusual for a big city, clean and pleasant. The old town ( “vieille-ville”), located on the top of a hill, also deserves special itineraries to rediscover old alleys paved, while enjoying the superb views of the city. The modern centre offers an infinite number of luxury shops, and elegant pastry shops where you can taste a variety of types of chocolate.

Moreover, the climate is pleasant even in August, months in which many of us are “obliged” starting to leave not because of its flexible… In short, if you are looking for something pleasant and relaxing, but certainly not boring, let us thinking !

A Flight d’Angelo in the Dolomites Lucanian

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Surely is not an attraction suitable for those suffering from dizziness or afraid to fly. But this Flight d’Angelo has all the air of being an experience of those who remember for a long time… .. Appesi to one - we hope solid - harness hooked to a steel cable suspended between the peaks of two countries, and Castelmezzano Pietrapertosa, flies between the Dolomites Lucanian, discovering that territory from a point of view decidedly original.

Was also the setting of Flight: you arrive in a country, you visit and then takes off for a few minutes until you reach the other end of the rope. Here you visit the second village, there’s the landscape, degustano products typical of areas and then back coupled with a second cable.

The ebrezza flight you can try on two different lines whose gradient is 118 and 130 meters. The first, called San Martino, beginning at Pietrapertosa (share starting 1020) and arrives in Castelmezzano (share of arrival 859) after covering 1415 metres reaching a maximum speed of 110 km / h. The line Peschiere, however, can go it Castelmezzano (1019 metres) and arrive in Pietrapertosa (888 meters) touching 120 km / h over a distance of 1452 metres.

The biggest dune of Europe: the Duna of Pyla in France

The Duna of Pyla (or Duna de pylat), which runs along the Atlantic coast for about 3 kilometers inland that extends for 500 metres and measure 117 meters high, is the largest sand dune in Europe. All data from other parts of the world will not mean much, but here in Europe are a certain impression, even considering the context in which you insert the Duna; should not stay there, a foreign body.

And in fact is nothing but the Duna has always existed. It was formed during the seventeenth century when a large amount of sand (sand abnormal?) Accumulated, focusing, in this stretch of coast of Gironde, France. Now this anomaly was embedded within the circuit of the Grand National site, a project of preservation and tourism development of the major areas of natural interest of the country.

The dune not far from Bordeaux, so if capitate than those shares do not miss a walk over the Duna. Maybe you can also decide to stop in camping near the Duna of Pyla, the ebrezza trying to stay in a place that in about 40 years will be completely submerged by sand; because the dunes have the bad habit of moving, and this makes it to pace of 3.4 metres per year.

The cruise between heaven London General ,For Air

Who loves tour eccentric and a little exaggerated not let slip an opportunity: after so many years of planning will be possible to see London from above, aboard an airship that from July 10 will take you above the main attractions of the capital; blimp will host the 12 passengers and the tour will last 30-60 minutes depending on the tour.

Fly over the Cathedral of St. Paul or Buckingham Palace will certainly be a moving experience… and costly: tickets will cost from 185 to 360 pounds!

The Australia relies to Australia to revive tourism News,Australia, New Zealand

One of the most important opportunities for promoting tourism in recent years… Ripongono really hope many men of the Australian tourism-in emulation that could be unleashed from the film Australia, who will be leaving in the halls of seventy countries in the next winter (in Italy since December 19).

After the excellent success in terms of attention and attendance, the famous Crocodile Dundee in 1986 (then emulated by the trilogy of Lord of the rings that relaunched New Zealand) now hopes to repeat the momentum achieved with the film Baz Luhrmann , In which the role of protagonist was entrusted, not by chance, an Australian diva: Nicole Kidman.

The tourism on the island of kangaroos has suffered from the economic recession and by considerable price of fuel. Now is counting on this story, set during the Second World War and that enhances the natural beauty of the continent, to reverse the negative trend.Just pay the ticket and watch a good film to forget the price of a flight for Australia?
