Travel Daily Tip

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.

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 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)
Phone: 972-4-636-1358
Address: Cesaria
Directions: road #2 -  exit name: Cesaria, take a left and follow the signs to the park.

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…

The Martin Luther King Center at Atlanta, GA  is just east of of the downtown area and you will find there is the house where he was born, the church which he pastured (and his  grandfather and father as well) and the King Center where you will also see his tomb. This is a really nice place and it gives you the opportunity to get some info about the history of the civil rights movement.

Address: 449 Auburn Avenue, Atlanta.
