European Vacations to Nice, France
Immerse yourself in art by visiting the museums of Nice on your European vacations. Top of the list on the contemporary side is the Muse dArt Moderne et dArt Contemporain, which has a large permanent collection from New Realism, the Nice School and Pop Art. Young local talents are given the opportunity to showcase their work at the Galerie Jean Renoir. Set on a quaint 17th century villa, the Muse Matisse features a mind-boggling number of personal effects, engravings, drawings and paintings to the delight of fans of this beloved artist. Challenge your senses at the Muse National Message Biblique Marc Chagall, where the strong biblical-themed paintings are a stark contrast to its bare structure that belies the color within. Aside from featuring lovely museums, Nice is also home to some of the most beautiful churches in France. Cathdrale Saint Nicolas is perhaps the most striking example of Russian Orthodox architecture outside of Russia, while Chapelle de la Misricorde is possibly Frances finest example of Baroque religious architecture.
Explore Stockholm on European Vacations
Since over three quarters of a millennium ago, when Stockholm was born, there has been a settlement in Gamla Stan the Old City. Beginning way back 1252, pillaging raids proliferated the winding medieval alleys, the town squares, the old churches, and the Royal Palace. Today, the horses and donkeys with carriages have been replaced by dozens of bus tours carrying tourists from around the world. You can easily avoid them by keeping off the main streets and instead taking the quaint side streets during your European vacations. Celebrate how far the country has gone by visiting the Stadshuset, the City Hall. Stockholm's most famous landmark, Stadshuset plays host to the annual Nobel Prize banquet visited by some of the world's most respected luminaries. A 10,000-pipe organ, the stunning Golden Hall which depicts Swedish history through 18 million pieces of gold leaf on wall mosaics, and the Council Chamber resembling an open roof of a Viking longhouse are among the must-see attractions in the city.
Winter European Vacations to Switzerland
Switzerland is a wonderland for the winter leg of your European vacations. From the countrys most famous landmark, the Matterhorn, view breathtaking mountain panoramas and quaint villages covered by pure white snow. You can take part in a large range of snow activities available: cross-country skiing, tobogganing, horse sleigh rides, dog sledding, snowboarding, skating, and snowshoe trekking. Are all those not challenging enough for you?Recently, there have been more and more opportunities for adrenaline rushes. Try out air boarding, which involves going on a high-tech inflatable body board and shifting your weight to steer. Snow kiting is like having your own personal ski lift -- wear skis or a snowboard before you are attached to a kite that carries you through the wind. Definitely not for the faintest of heart!Best of all, at the end of the day, you can relax those tired muscles in the warm pool of your hotel.
Eastern European Vacations to Prague
Prague is a great start to your Eastern European vacations!Clubbing is a unique experience in this Eastern European city, with binge drinking and bar-top stripping a common sight. The Czechs locally produced beers are considered a national treasure. Gambrinus is a popular label, but it is not considered the best. The Research Institute of Brewing & Malting Awards has awarded the title Best Czech Beer to Kozels Medium. But if you ask any local about their beer preference, Pilsner Urquell is the hands-down favorite; many say it is because of the water quality in the city which is used for brewing. Remember to also set aside a day or two from your clubbing to visit the sites in Prague. The medieval astronomical clock in the town square has been standing tall since 1490. Animated figures light up the clock every hour between 8 AM and 8 PM -- four figures representing Vanity, Greed, Death and the Turk as well as wooden images of the twelve Apostles are set in motion. The clock dial is a complex one, with hard-to-figure zodiac signs set on a movable circle.
