Top 5 free – Amsterdam

Do you know which the city where I struggled to find interesting and cool places and things for free is? London? No way … Paris? Not even close… I think that even in super-expensive cities such as Monte Carlo you can find 5 things to do for free … Well, this in Amsterdam, the Netherlands’ no. 1 tourist attraction… Why is that? And then I remembered … Well, all the Dutch are known to be thrifty. If most of the Europeans say that the Scots are thrifty, well, it is likely that actually the Dutch have the most difficult-to-open wallet … And yet, I somehow managed, to identify five things to do for free in Amsterdam.

Photo-story: Kiev, Ukraine

 

Most of you love pictures. I like them too, I have almost 1 terrabyte of pics and 25,000 printed pictures from the pre-digital cameras era. Still need to scan them 🙂 As most of them are lovely.

As of today, I will have a series of photo-stories from around the world. I hope you will like it 🙂 And as the Euro 2012 is in full blow, I thought to show you some sights of Kiev, the surprisingly wonderful capital of Ukraine and the host for the Great Final of Euro 2012. A city of old, majestic buildings, golden churches, beautiful scantily-clad girls and cheap vodka 🙂

Low cost airlines of the World. Today: Air Baltic

I think everyone likes more or less the low-cost airlines. I think the biggest Revolution in travel in the last decade was the boom of the low cost airlines which made worldwide travel more and more affordable. The idea is simple – they cut all the costs they can (as flying into secondary airports), they cut out the perks (like mile-based loyalty programs, although some low costs started these kind of schemes, as well) and charge for services which are not indispensable for just to be carried from X to Y (food, luggage, etc).

ETIHAD Promotions: 450 euro from Germany to Bangkok

Just discovered the new promotions of Etihad from Germany. The best prices I found are from Frankfurt and Munich to Bangkok. From Frankfurt, a return ticket (via Abu Dhabi) costs 453 euro, while from Munich, the flight to Bangkok costs 442 euro. Obviously, there are few tickets at these prices, so, search and grab them.
