This Castle is amazing, located only a few minutes drive from Salzburg, it is a really beautiful castle with nice gardens around it, but this is not the reason you should visit there, the fact is that this castle has some really great water tricks and water games in it – prepare to get wet (oh ye, and dont volenteer to sit and dine with the archbishop)

This is a really interesting museum. nothing there but this huge well preserved viking ship which on 10 August 1628 set sail for the first time and sank right when leaving at the Stockholm harbor and was discovered in 1961. As someone who doesn’t like museums so much I can defiantly say this one is interesting and well structured.

This is probably the best activity I have experienced in this area, you get a sled, one person gets to be the driver (best part) and the other is sitting below him on the sled, they teach you a bit about how to drive it (well the dogs run but you have to use the breaks sometimes and to lean how to move your body in turns) and then you go, into the snowy woods with the dogs running like crazy. This is not a scary task and almost anyone can do it.
Prices for this are not cheap.

On highway #89, you will see an unpaved dirt road right next to a small brown sign – so basically this is a really easy location to miss, but try not to . Once driving this road you will get to a parking area and you will have to walk for about a mile or so to get to the viewpoint you will then see the Colorado river taking a sharp U turn right below where you are standing. When I was there the sun was not in the greatest angle for photo taking (see below) but still, it was amazing.

Johnston Canyon, which is about 25 KM from Banff, is a really nice place to walk, the hike is very easy and takes about one hour so anyone can do it. After about one Km you will see the lower falls and another 1.5 Km will take you to the upper falls and a weeping wall as well.

This is one of the most interesting national parks in Israel, just on the beach, so you can have an amazing view and really great breeze (which is really important in Israel) while visiting. The park itself is pretty small so only a few hours will do.
You will see the remaining of the Hellenistic period, Byzantine-period and also located at the park area some coffee shops and small art shops. The best hours for a visit are of course later in the afternoon with the sun setting right there (plus you will see a lot of couples taking pictures there just before going to their wedding)

Address: Cesaria

During a visit in Istanbul you must spend a few hours in the grand bazaar. it is a huge covered market (which means it is also a good escape from the rain if needed) and has about 4000 shops so you can find almost anything there.
Location: Carsikapi Caddesi, Beyazit, it’s about ten minute walk far from the Hagia Sophia, it is huge so you cant really miss it.

This is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited, when driving on the eagle road and seeing it from above you already see this place is really amazing, and once getting there and get some info about all the nice trails and view points in the area, it gets even better. This is a must visit location.

This park is really nice and located not too far from the city of Reykjavik. This park is part of the golden circle tour rout. This park is a lot of fun just to walk around since it is beautiful – lots of water, ponds and all around it – huge rocks.
this site is an historical site and its very interesting.

This is a really small and interesting village in Austria. The main thing about it is that it is located on a mountain side right near a small beautiful lake so the view all over the village is really nice. The 2nd thing is that this village has a really strange room near the church which contains the bones and the skulls of all the dead’s of the village – really strange…
