Top 10 most famous mountains in the world

Mont Blanc, France

One of the first things that kids learn in geography classes is how high them mountains in their respective countries are, and of course all of them are compared to Mount Everest, or some other peak that is among the highest in the world.

The Best of Europe’s National Restaurants

Lyon

A trip to Europe can be a great opportunity to admire fabulous cities, intriguing works of art and fascinating cultures. Depending on how deep you want to emerge into Europe’s eclectic culture, you can progressively learn to see less of the popular attractions and adventure yourself off the beaten path, This doesn’t necessarily mean that you should allow yourself get lost through some sordid neighborhood, just that you must find alternative ways to interfere with a country’s culture.

Thus, you can try frequenting those bars and restaurants that have local clientèle, renting an apartment in a residential zone, going at the farmers market or even getting a temporary job. If you don’t have all that time, one option is to visit the kind of restaurants and bars that are typical for a certain country, just like the following (Although this technique is still far from the real culture immersion experience, it can help you get a better taste of some country’s habits and cuisine): …

Despite the fact that few famous landmarks have no functional purpose (although there are some places that seem to be designed for the pure pleasure of the viewer), these constructions simply pop out of the background.

Europe’s Most Beautifully Restored Cities

Dresden

For the travel who is admiring a several century old Gothic cathedral for the first time, making the difference between an authentic and a reconstructed church can be a tough job. Seeing all those architectural marvels and historical monuments makes you believe that you are somehow trapped between two different time periods – and, God knows, there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of such cities across the Old Europe. But a really great city is one that can reconstruct itself from its own ruins, list like in the mythical Phoenix.

Following the numerous air raids and sieges that devastated Europe during World War II, there are numerous example of cities that have been almost entirely destroyed. And yet, they have managed to reborn, much more beautiful and stronger than they’ve ever been. …
