This blog post is brought to you by Sykes Cottages, where you can enjoy a holiday in beautiful Cornwall.

The ancient duchy of Cornwall is located in the far southwestern corner of England. Like Calabria in Italy, Cornwall is, for reasons that are obvious if you consult a map, sometimes referred to as “the Toe.” Situated far from any of the British commercial centers, Cornwall has turned its remoteness into an advantage for visitors by emphasizing its unique culture, spectacular landscape, and mild climate as a soothing alternative to the hustle and bustle of Glasgow, Manchester, or London.

Cornish Coast

Cornwall is one of the most fascinating holiday destinations in England. It has a close connection to its medieval past, and it is strongly associated with the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table — although you should be forewarned that the very existence of Arthur is hotly debated by historians. According to some sources, Tintagel Castle on the northern coast of Cornwall is the location of Arthur’s conception (but not his birth). Merlin’s Cave is also located very close to Tintagel Castle.

Even if only a few travelers plan their city trips around art treasures, most major European cities have at least one masterpiece that you have to see at least once in your lifetime. These are works of art that make history tangible and often come with a fascinating history in their own right. The following five pictures are a small selection of such a series.

Guernica by Pablo Picasso.

“Guernica” by Pablo Picasso, Madrid

For the famous work by Pablo Picasso that makes the horror of the Spanish Civil War so tangible, you have to walk through quite a few passageways in the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid. The painting shows the air raid of the German Condor Legion with the Corpo Truppe Volontarie, who fought on the side of Franco. In 1937, the painting was shown for the first time in the Spanish pavilion at the World Exhibition in Paris. From 1939 to 1981 it was shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Only after the death of Franco did it return to Spain. Read More »

If you have not seen the Eiffel Tower, you have not truly visited Paris. Although the tower does not seem so enormous up close as it does from afar, the square nevertheless radiates a special atmosphere. In the end, one is standing in front of perhaps the most famous landmark in Europe. The view is perfect of course, but don’t underestimate the waiting times. Read More »

The Euro might be down, but Western Europe can still be an expensive place to visit. Rome – Italy’s capital city – is no exception… especially if you’re at the mercy of jacked up tourist prices. Have no fear; here’s a roundup of five things to do in Rome that are free.

Stick Your Hand in the Mouth of Truth…. Maybe

It might be free to visit La Bocca della Verità – or “The Mouth of Truth” as it’s known in English -  but sticking your hand inside could come with a hefty price. Legend has it that if one tells a lie before putting their hand in the mouth of truth, the mouth will bite it off. Read More »

This article is written in collaboration with Casinotop10, the only online destination that combines the best of the entertainment world with the best of the casual and fun casino world.

Las Vegas is located in Clark Country, a wide, arid basin surrounded by stunning mountains.  This unique desert climate can easily go unseen if one stays within the dark belly of a casino for their entire trip.  Sin City is aiming to broaden its reputation, to show visitors that there is more reason to visit than all-you-can-eat buffets, black jack and shotgun weddings.

Remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas – so do what you want!  If you’re one to get outside and do something different, here’s a list of the top 5 things to do in Vegas that are NOT  inside a casino.

Grand Canyon National Park

Grand Canyon National Park

This national treasure is most-likely on your travel bucket list, and it’s not far from downtown Las Vegas.  There are a few ways to get there – drive about 5 hours, opt for an incredible helicopter ride (perhaps also on your bucket list), or take a train ride  from Williams, Arizona, which will allow you to take in more of the landscape.  The train is great for kids or adults who enjoy a bit of theatrics, for there’s some ‘old west’ playful history acted out along the ride.

When it gets warm, Berlin moves closer to the water. The Spree becomes the living room of the city, at the canal and the lakes party people meet with the Prenzlauer-Berg family. What idyll. We have compiled the top five water areas in the city. Attention – the following hotspots might create an acute desire for a city break to Berlin!

Club der Visionäre: Under the trees on couches, on wooden planks on the water or with pizza in your hand on benches – in the small Club der Visionäre ideas were definitely already born, which reconciled the sun-weary heads with the world. The evenings are full, the DJs are great. During the day it’s much more relaxed, perfect for an afternoon drink. The cool kids come with a boat.  Read More »
