You can spend a whole day exploring Kazimierz, so try your best and have a day to enjoy this beautiful neighborhood.

Climb the Kościuszko Mound:

In Krakow there are many ancient fossilized mounds believed to be either monumental graves or forts or pagan temples. Today, the mounds are a great place to climb to get a beautiful view of the city.

Wander Around The Wieliczka Salt Mine:

One of the large rooms housed St Kinga’s Chapel, which was made entirely of salt. In the Erazm Barącz Chamber there is also a salt lake that tends to be even denser than the Dead Sea.

Thailand has no shortage of beautiful locations, from towering mountains to vast expanses of sparkling blue sea. One such destination that has become more and more popular over the years is Krabi. Located in the southwest region of Thailand, Krabi is famous for its limestone cliffs, cave networks, waterfalls, lush jungles, and, of course, its long stretches of white sand beaches. In short, a Krabi tour package is the perfect choice for all travellers who are interested in nature and adventure experiences.

To help you make the most of your vacation, here are a few suggestions on how to get the best Krabi experience.

Rock Climbing in Railay

If you’re looking for a bit of an adventure, rock climbing is one of the best activities to do in Krabi. In fact, it’s one of the best destinations for rock climbing in Thailand. Head on over to Railay, with its majestic karst formations that rise up from the beaches and even from the middle of the ocean. More experienced climbers will love Railay West, while newbies can go to Railay East for more manageable routes. Don’t worry because there are licensed instructors ready to give you lessons, not to mention gear shops that rent out equipment. For free climbers, cliff jumping from one of the towering rocks that jut out from the ocean floor should be a thrilling conclusion to a satisfying climb.

Bathing in the Emerald Pool and Blue Pool

The Emerald Pool is so-named because of its bright emerald colour. It’s a mineral pool located inside the Thung Teao Forest Natural Park, a popular ecotourism destination due to its incredible flora and fauna. On your way to the pool, you can encounter unique plants, centuries-old trees, and rare animals. If you’re lucky, you might even spot the Pitta Gurney bird, a species that was once thought extinct. Once you reach the Emerald Pool, take some time to swim in its wonderfully warm waters.

There’s also another brightly hued pool inside Thung Teao Forest Natural Park, which is aptly named Blue Pool. It’s actually the source of Emerald Pool, although you can’t take a bath here since the bottom is made of drift sand. Moreover, Blue Pool’s water comes from a boiling hot underground spring. Still, the view is stunning and you can always take postcard-like photos as your souvenirs.

Snorkeling at Phi Phi Islands

For a taste of tropical paradise, visit the Phi Phi Islands. The most-visited out of the six islands in the cluster are Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. The former is the larger of the two, famous for its beautiful blue waters, top-notch dining scene, and a pumping party atmosphere. Phi Phi Leh has its own share of gorgeous beaches, the most popular of which is Maya Bay where the movie The Beach was shot. Maya Bay is still closed to tourists as of this writing, but it’s rumoured to open soon. You don’t have to visit Maya Bay to appreciate the beauty of the Phi Phi Islands, though. There’s a wide range of activities you can do here, including snorkeling and scuba diving to see the beauty of the islands both above and below.

Climbing Wat Tham Sua

Wat Tham Sua or “Tiger Cave” is one of the most prominent landmarks in Krabi. It’s part of a larger temple complex composed of limestone caves, which themselves are worth a visit. However, the main purpose of those who go to Wat Tham Sua is a climb of more than 1,200 steps to reach the so-called “footprint of Buddha.” When you finally reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the limestone cliffs below, as well as the surrounding forests and the Andaman Sea. Most people prefer visiting toward the late afternoon to catch the sunset and to avoid the heat of the sun while climbing the steps.

Relaxing at Koh Lanta

For those who are visiting Krabi specifically to escape the craziness of the city and the tourists crowds, it’s best to go to Koh Lanta. It’s less developed and therefore less busy than other locations in Krabi; in fact, the western end of the island has plenty of practically empty beaches for you to enjoy the beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Still, Koh Lanta has enough tourist amenities for your comfort and enjoyment. In particular, there are quite a few certified diving schools so you can learn to scuba dive and see the incredible biodiversity of Krabi. Be warned, though. Once you experience the paradise-like life in Koh Lanta, you might not want to leave anymore!

Krabi is one of those places that has a bit (or a lot!) of everything, which is why tourists love visiting over and over again. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been here before or not. You will always want to come back!

 

Montreal is popular for its European flair and mix of French and Anglo culture. Montreal is a great city to visit if you want to feel like you’re on a completely different continent, while still feeling like home. However, Montreal is a very unique city, and one you’ll have to be prepared for if you want to have a good time. You also have to be prepared for some culture shock as well if you aren’t familiar with city. Here are a few things you should know before you come to Montreal.

There are Tons of Cheap Flights to the City

If you’re coming from the East Coast or the North-Midwest, know that there are tons of cheap flights to Montreal coming into the city. You could book flights to Montreal with a regional airline like Porter and get a great deal on your next trip. You’ll get the chance to get better seats than you usually get through a national airline, and their flights are much less crowded as well.

Montreal is Actually French

While it’s true that you won’t have trouble finding someone who speaks English in the city and that a large portion of the population is bilingual, don’t be fooled. Montreal is a French city first. While you will notice a lot of bilingual signs, there’s nothing that obligates businesses to offer service in English or signage. So, don’t be surprised if you can’t get service in English either, especially in the east end of the city.

However, there is also a clear demarcation between the unofficial French and English side of the city. The city is pretty much split in half by St-Laurent street, and the more you go west, the more English the city gets. So, you won’t have issues getting service on the west end, though it would be wise to learn some basic French words for signage if you want to get around the city.

The City Has a Great Public Transit System

If you’re staying on the island, you’ll have no problem getting around the city. Montreal has an extensive subway system, or the Metro as it is called, that covers most of the city. It’s also very safe and reliable and will get you pretty much anywhere in the city in minutes.

In addition, you have tons of self-service options as well. The city offers easily accessible bikes for rental all over the city and they’re pretty affordable. You can also rent electric bikes and scooters in most areas of the city.

Forget Turning on Reds

While in most of the country, you can turn right on red lights, Montreal is one of the only major cities where you can’t. So, don’t make the mistake of turning on a red light or you might get a ticket, or a warning depending on the agent. Note, however, that you can turn right in most municipalities outside of Montreal proper.

Speaking of red lights, don’t be surprised if you see people walking straight through them. People will usually cross on red lights if there are no cars, so this could be a shock for some. Also, pedestrians and cyclists are kings in Montreal and have priority rights when crossing the street, and they fully take advantage of it. People are also more likely to jaywalk, so be prepared for that as well.

The Festivals

If you’re thinking of coming in the summer, make sure that you visit at the beginning of the summer season. Montreal lives through its festivals, and they’re one of the major attractions to the city.

The season starts with the Francofolies that take part at the beginning of June. This festival is focused on French culture and features mainly francophone artists. This is a great opportunity to learn a bit about French culture and have fun with the whole family. This is followed by the Montreal Jazz Festival, which is one of the biggest of its genre in the world. Tons of artists from around the world come to perform on one of the many stages right in the “Quartier des Spectacle” which is an area of the city dedicated solely to outside shows and festivals.

Though it’s called the Jazz festival however, there are artists across all genres there, so you’ll be able to find something that is more your speed there no matter your preferred style of music.

The Jazz festival is followed by the Just for Laughs Festival, which is the single biggest comedy festival in the world and attracts the world’s biggest comics. Every year, top performers come to perform free and paid shows at some of the city’s top venues. Some of the most popular comics had their first big break there, such as Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chapelle. The streets are also animated with street performers and dancers. This is the most family friendly of all the festivals and also takes place in the Quartier des Spectacles.

Winters are Something Else

Winters can be bitterly cold in Montreal, so unless you’re used to it, you’ll be in for a shock. It’s not uncommon for temperatures to dip under the -40 degrees mark, so be prepared for that. On the flipside, summers are notoriously hot in Montreal, and tend to be more humid, so you should be prepared for this as well.

Montreal however is a great place if you’re into winter sports, and you’re only a few minutes away from some of the best slopes you’ll find on the East Coast. There’s also the Igloofest, which is a mega electronic festival that takes place dead in the middle of winter.

Montreal’s Past as Canada’s Sin City

Montrealers and Quebecers in general have a different attitude towards sex than in most other places in Canada and North America, so this could come as a shock for some people. Some parts of the city can be a bit seedy at night, so make sure that you know which areas to avoid. Strip clubs are also front and centre on important strips, so that’s something you’ll have to be prepared for as well.

With that being said however, Montreal remains one of the safest cities in North America, so you’ll feel safe in most parts of the city, even after dark.

Legal Drinking Age

You should also know that the drinking age is 18 in Montreal and in Quebec, so be prepared to see a lot of college kids strolling down St-Laurent street. Also, know that beer in Quebec tends to be a bit stronger than in the rest of Canada or in the States, so try to look for light beers if you’re looking for something that is closer to what you’d get back home. Also, know that the city has a strong micro brewery scene and history as a brewing city, so make sure that you visit at least one on your next visit and sample some of the best beers the city has to offer.

Montreal is a wonderful city, and one that begs to be discovered. Make sure that you keep these tips in mind on your next visit if you want to make the most of it.

While nailing down accommodation and transportation are undoubtedly crucial to travel preparation, these aren’t the only aspects that determine the level of comfort and enjoyment of the trip. As such, it makes sense to ensure to leave nothing to chance to minimise the chances of running into potential problems. From thoroughly researching about your intended destinations to carefully managing potential expenses, here are a few essential things that you should do before travelling.

Do your homework

Having a smooth and trouble-free travelling experience usually hinges on the amount of preparation done before the trip. As such, it makes sense to research first regarding the city or country that you plan to visit. From available accommodation to attractions, time spent doing your homework now will help not only allow you to familiarise yourself with the destination before you arrive but also help you avoid confusion while exploring a new locale.

Acquire travel insurance

It’s not uncommon for travel insurance to slip our minds while planning a trip; however, it’s crucial to obtain the necessary coverage. After all, we can never tell what can happen during the trip. And by acquiring the necessary travel insurance from ucompare.ie, not only will you have the peace of mind that you’ll have the right coverage but you will also keep yourself from spending more than you need.

Don’t forget to check the weather

There’s no denying that the weather can affect the overall experience of your trip. As such, it makes sense to check the conditions first before setting a date for when you plan to leave. In this way, you’re far less likely to encounter unfavourable weather patterns during the course of your trip, and as a result, have a much more enjoyable experience.

Check the attractions and entertainment listings

Apart from getting some rest and relaxation from the trials and tribulations of daily life, people travel to experience new cultures and explore unfamiliar locales. And because of this, it’s crucial to check local attractions and entertainment listings first. In doing so, you will have a clear idea of what to do once you arrive at your intended destination. More importantly, you will also avoid the hassle of making last-minute changes to your itinerary too.

Reach out to family or friends

If you have any family or friends who live in the intended destination, try to reach out to them. After all, they’re bound to know more about the place that you plan to visit since they live there. And by getting in touch with them, not only will it be easier for you to navigate the unfamiliar surroundings of the country or city that you’re visiting, but you might even get free accommodation in the process too.

No matter what our reasons are for travelling, we all do it for the same purpose: fun and relaxation. And with careful planning and preparation, not only are you far less likely to encounter any problems but you’ll maximise the enjoyment of the experience as well.

Visitors considering taking a holiday in the United Kingdom often make London or the south coast their first and only port of call.

However, the UK has plenty of other brilliant places to visit, particularly if you head towards the northern end of the country.

With vibrant cities, seaside towns and stunning areas of natural beauty, there is something to suit every taste ‘up north’.

With the cost of living also much cheaper the further you travel away from the south of the country, it is possible to enjoy short breaks or longer visits at surprisingly economical rates.

Read on as we look at some of our favourite places to visit in the north of the UK.

Blackpool

Blackpool has had a roller-coaster ride as a holiday resort – a rather ironic fact given that the town contains the highly acclaimed Pleasure Beach theme park!

Its reputation suffered massively during the 1980s and 90s, becoming more famous for attracting rowdy stag and hen parties than families.

However, Blackpool has bounced back in style since the turn of the century, with local authorities pumping millions of pounds into regenerating the town.

From playing games at the resort’s casino venues, watching superb live entertainment in one of the numerous show bars or enjoying the miles of beaches, Blackpool is back and it’s back with a bang.

Lake District

Travel even further north to Cumbria to enjoy the natural splendour of the stunningly beautiful Lake District.

Lake Windermere is the largest natural body of water in England and its shores have numerous locations where you can base yourself to explore the area.

Fans of water sports will in their element in the Lake District, with the area providing plenty of opportunities to try water-skiing, kayaking and more.

Small towns like Bowness and Ambleside are well worth checking out, with each offering superb accommodation, great local beers, excellent dining options and a relaxing vibe.

Edinburgh

Whether you’re planning a weekend away or a longer stay, Edinburgh’s mix of history and modern makes it a perfect place for a vacation.

Guided bus tours are a great way to visit historic places like the Scottish Parliament, St Giles’ Cathedral and the National Museum of Scotland.

Alternatively, head out on foot along Princes Street or George Street to discover Edinburgh’s fine selection of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

With live music venues, great theatres, comedy clubs and top class sporting action, you will never be short of something to do in Edinburgh.

An annual vacation is many people’s highlight of the year, although deciding where to go can be a really tricky business.

Some of the world’s most popular destinations can be very expensive to travel to, but by thinking a little more creatively you can come up with plenty of different options.

Location isn’t always the main factor when people are deciding where to go, with household finances often dictating just how much you can spend on a holiday.

However, it is possible to enjoy a week or two away in some staggeringly beautiful locations without having to break the bank.

Read on as we look at three of the best alternative travel destinations for 2019.

Cape Verde

Situated towards the south of the Canary Islands and west of Africa, Cape Verde’s tourism industry is beginning to enjoy a major boom.

Famed for its ‘no stress’ ethos, the archipelago of Cape Verde consists of 10 islands and several islets that boast brilliant weather for most of the year.

Sal is the most popular island for many holidaymakers, with its stunning sandy beaches giving sun lovers plenty of opportunity to top up their tan.

Neighbouring Boa Vista’s popularity is very much on the rise, with many people using winnings from online casino bonus codes to book into brand new ‘palace’ style hotels around the island.

Nicaragua

Although Nicaragua is Central America’s largest country, its tourism industry is still very much in its infancy.

Featuring volcanic landscapes, beautiful beaches, enchanting islands and more, Nicaragua remains something of a hidden travel gem.

Bordered on one side by the Pacific Ocean and on the other by the Caribbean Sea, the country is an affordable option for people looking for somewhere a little different to visit.

Certain areas of Nicaragua remain undeveloped, so head off the beaten track to see stunning mountains, ancient ruins and untouched rainforests.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote’s reputation suffered massively during the package holiday boom, but its refusal to conform to stereotypes has seen it bounce back in style.

There are three main resorts on the island – Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca – each with their own unique charm and character.

Puerto del Carmen is undoubtedly the most popular place in Lanzarote, with its vast stretch of golden beaches renowned for their cleanliness.

If a relaxing vacation is more your thing, check out peaceful Puerto Calero. Built around a luxury marina, this exclusive retreat is the perfect place to unwind and recharge your batteries.
