When visiting Amsterdam, try to visit the western church one of the mornings, every morning they have a tour to the top of the chrch while climbing narrow laders viewing many amazing, huge bells. The tour is a guided tour of an hour or so and it is really nice, in addition the view from the top is an extra bonus.

The Anne Frank house, located at 263 Prinsengracht (although the entrance is at number 267), is a really interesting monument. The house is the place where Anne’s father, Otto’s, businesses was and where they were hiding from the Nazi regime for 25 months (July 6, 1942 -September 3, 1944). It is very interesting to see the rooms and the hiding places where they have actually been.
Directions: Trams 13 and 17 from Central Station, get off at Westermarkt station.

Paris Las Vegas is located near the center of Las Vegas Boulevard South, popularly known as the Strip region. Paris is yet another successful venture by Harrah’s Entertainment. It is flanked by Bally’s to its right and Planet Hollywood Resort to its left. The hotel overlooks the Bellagio hotel and casino with its famous fountains which are the main landmarks of this spot. Located at a distance of approximately 4 miles from the airport, Paris is located at the center of all the fun and excitement in Las Vegas. Wynn Gold and Country Club is also a nearby destination that draws many tourists to this spot. It is also quite near to LVCC (Las Vegas Convention Center).
Paris has always been considered as one of the best casinos in the United States. As the name goes, the theme strongly represents Paris and all its prime landmarks with exaggerated realism. There are several theme based hotels all over the strip but Paris is noted for its architectural wonders and layout. It has a comfortable spa where the guests can have a relaxing evening and it also houses numerous shops, boutiques and restaurants where they provide everything that is French. There is also a grand pool and exquisite pool villas for guests who want only the best. The shopping area and streets that take the guests in and around the hotel are all designed in a classic French style. The images reflected by these new-age hotel takes us back to a Paris of 1920s.
Paris is quite incomplete without the Eiffel Tower and the same goes with Paris hotel and casino. In spite of its enormous health spa and delicious French cuisines, the biggest attraction of the hotel will always be its 460-feet tall Eiffel Tower. This tower is the tallest structure that has become the biggest landmark of Las Vegas Strip. It has given the place a unique recognition that endorses the beauty and celebration promised by this land.
There are several tourists who come to Las Vegas Boulevard only to get a view of the magnificent city below from this tower. These rides are highly in demand and there are special guides who accompany the tourists throughout the ride. The breathtaking view from the tower keeps the visitors attracted to this spot. The site during the night time is incredibly beautiful and hence there is more demand for evening rides. Accordingly, the rates for these rides are also high after the sunset. While they charge 10 dollar per person during the day time, it is 15 dollars after 7.30 pm. Kids can enjoy the ride at half the price which comes to about 7 dollars. This celebrated ride is popularly termed as the “Eiffel Tower Experience” and people staying even in the nearby hotels come to Paris for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The Blue lagoon is a really nice place for some relaxation, and the fact it is close to the Reykjavik airport makes it a good idea to have a short break there before your flight. There is nothing more there other than geothermal heated pools, but it is a nice thing to do especially when it is a bit cold around you.
This is not a must, you can find stuff like that probably everywhere but it is really nice and since it is so close to the airport…why not.

These are some really amazing, high falls which are located in the Yoho National park (right along side between Banff and Jasper). The falls are huge, you will see them from a distance even from the parking area which is probably a good spot to start taking some pictures – you wont be able, when closer to fit it to the frame.

When in Israel you will see a lot of the sea – that is for sure, but there are some real gems hiding along the smaller roads. One of these roads is the road leading from north of Netanya to road #2 going through some small villages and right on the water.
Directions: When you are in North Netanya, continue into Avichail (its a small town next to Netanya) keep on driving west till you get to a stop sign, take a right follow the road (you will see the blue bay hotel on your left) right after you pass the hotel you will see the sea right there to your left – some really nice views, if you want, park your car and go down to the beach – usually these are pretty empty.

The Uruniemi Camping near Inari at the north of Finnish Lapland is located 2 Km outside of the Inari village – which makes it so isolated and really unique. The camping offers all kind of cabins with or without running water so prices vary and can fit many people. It is right on the lake so it is amazing and the views are great . There is, of course, a sauna and also a fire cabin where it is nice to sit around the fire (big enough for 10 people or so).
We called them 2 days before our arrival and even though it was out of season they agreed to open for us and were reasonably priced as well…very nice people.
Phone: 358-(0)16-671331
Directions: When you take the bus to Inari there is a bus stop right in front of it before the bus goes into the village

I agree, this is probably not the most cultural museum but it is defiantly one of the most fun ones, it used to be so much more fun but few years ago they have changed it (you used to be able to drink as much as you can, now i think you get like 3 pints or so) but the atmosphere is great and you will meet some fun crazy people there. So if you are already there – this is worth the visit.

This is a great hotel for its price and for the location, it is located at the end of the strip (north of the strip) and it offers some really nice rooms at cheap prices. higher floors and the roof (which also offers some rides) offers a great view of the strip. This hotel is great for someone looking to be on the strip, pay less than other hotels and be able to walk to the strip.

This place is one of my favorite spots in Budapest, it is located at Buda and it is a well-known for the wonderful panoramic views of the city. Near this place you can also find the Matthias Church. You can reach there by the Castle bus (Varbusz) from Moszkva ter, or just take bus #16, although i think the best option is just to walk across the chain bridge to Buda.
