Spanish Flavor

Although many of us face communication problems when holidaying in Spain, this does not stop holiday makers from choosing Spain as one of the top holiday destinations.

According to my friend who owns a tour agency in my hometown, many people have made enquiries for various Spanish hotels, especially beautiful Costa Brava hotels or Costa Del Sol hotels.


Costa Brava

Did you know that part of the reason that Spain has become increasingly popular for tourists in recent years despite the language barrier is because of the soap operas that are aired on local TV? Yes, it is not surprising that after watching these soap operas, people want to experience the real romantic atmosphere, culture and tradition that Spaniards could offer.

Other very popular accommodations are the Benidorm hotels. Did you know that these hotels are not that expensive if you are able to get a discount?

A friend of mine went to Spain recently on a vacation and put up at Alicante hotels and she said that it was within her budget and so she was very happy about it. She said that she wanted to stay at the Barcelona Las Ramblas hotels but it was already fully booked. Well, next time book a little earlier!

Weekend Breakaway In Berlin

My friend, Markus, who lives and works in Karlsruhe, told me that he had the opportunity to visit Berlin not too long ago. You see, although Markus may be German, he did not have an opportunity to visit Berlin at leisure so far. Most of his trips were business trips and there were hardly time to pack in any sightseeing.

This time, Markus decided to get a weekend break in Berlin, exclusively as a rest and relax vacation. He was told that tours in Berlin are very popular not only for international tourists but also for local Germans from other states.

Berlin City Tours is one of the leading local tour companies that offer well-packaged sightseeing trips and guided tours in and around Berlin. Markus told me that although this time, he was alone and joined a sightseeing trip with other independent travelers, he would like to visit Berlin again with his friends and go on a group tour. It is always more fun when you get to enjoy a vacation with your friends.

I checked out the website of Berlin City Tours and surprised to note that their tours cover many different parts of Berlin that allow tourist to enjoy the city in many different ways. Whether you prefer to walk, take a bike, or participate in a bus tour, Berlin City Tours would be able to arrange it for you.

Besides relying on Berlin City Tours for sightseeing only, they could also arrange other vacation services like accommodation and car rental at affordable prices. In short, Berlin City Tours is here to make your visit to Berlin as smooth sailing and memorable as possible.

Planning A Vacation Conveniently

Planning a vacation is so tedious. A friend asked me if I look forward to such planning but frankly, I would rather be the one to enjoy the trip without the hassle or cost planning! Can’t somebody just do everything for me while all I have to do is just pack my bags, hop on a plane and start enjoying my holiday? I guess if that is not possible, at least a website like TripTake.com makes it a whole lot easier to compare rates and hotel reviews and plan accordingly.

As an example, if you are looking for hotels in Rome, just go to TripTake.com and click on the thumbnail image of Rome. Did you know that Rome is one of the top holiday destinations in the world?

If you would rather look for a Venice hotel instead, just go to Italy hotels and at the very bottom of the page, at the footer, you can select the top destinations in Italy.

Searching for hotels in Florence Italy is also similarly simple. Just select from the links at the bottom of the page. A friend wanted to check out hotels in Milano Italy and that was what I told him to do.

You see, whether it is Milan, Rome, Florence, Venice or Palermo, you would be surprised to know that Italy has many top holiday destinations to offer. People who have not been to Italy before or find it difficult to research on an Italian trip because of language barrier will find it easy to do so here on TripTake.com due to its user-friendly interface.

With TripTake.com no matter what country you plan to holiday in, besides Italy, you can just narrow down your preferred hotel accommodation based on your budget, hotel class and guest rating. Make use of this feature so that you don’t have to waste time browsing accommodation listings that are not suitable for you at this time.

Planning An Italian Trip?

My friend, Mark, read my post a couple of weeks ago about my dream of traveling to Italy and he gave me some pointers. Well, he should be experienced enough, since he has been to Italy a few times for business and pleasure!

According to Mark, first of all, I have to plan my itinerary well and then make reservations for the hotels. Of course, I would also have to shop and compare hotels within the cities that I plan to visit.

This certainly sounds like too much work and I can’t spare the time going all over the internet to search. Mark says to use a hotel reservations website called TripTake.com where if I want to look for hotels in Venice, I could just compare their ratings, reviews and most important of all, rates!

If you want to look for Florence Italy hotels, you can also do the same at TripTake.com because they have information for just about any hotel in Italy.

Mark told me that he also compared hotels in Rome online by doing to a website like this as it is very convenient and he could check out hotel ratings by guests.

For example, if you are looking for Milan hotels, I am sure you would want to know which ones have been given the thumbs up by guests, right?

Exploring Spain Together

My friend, Lawrence, was supposed to go to Spain for business but he thought that since his children will have a week off from school, he would take the family along for a holiday, at his own expenses, of course.

Lawrence said that he only has very short notice to pull a vacation together but he is going to do everything to enable himself come family time in Spain. He checked the website Cheaper Than Hotels which would be able to help him make last minute reservations. He just has to decide on his favorite hotels in each stop he is going to take, whether they are Benidorm Hotels or Sitges Barcelona Hotels.

According to Lawrence, he selected to make hotel reservations online because it is fast and hassle-free and his rooms could be confirmed via email. He said that because he could not speak Spanish, it would be better to write Costa Del Sol Torremolinos Hotels than to pronounce it and there is no risk of getting rooms in Costa Del Sol Marbella Hotels instead.

I was shown this photo of Salamanca, Spain and I must say that it is totally breath-taking. I think that it is a great opportunity for Lawrence to explore parts of Spain with his family because Spain has so much to offer.

Romantic Getaway To Ireland

My friend, Joe, migrated to Ireland with his family a year ago. When he first reached Dublin, he was pretty surprised to see many tourists there. I mean, it never occurred to him that people would prefer to come to Ireland for a holiday instead of other more popular nearby countries.

Now that Joe is there for one year already, he tells me that he expects Ireland hotels to be fully booked during Valentine’s Day. Some people may not consider Ireland to be a romantic holiday destination but this is an ideal place for people who love the countryside and appreciate the old castles that are still standing elegantly even today. Just check out the image I have included for a glimpse of what to expect if you holiday in Ireland.

According to Joe, he expects many people to visit Dublin too and he mentions that people who plan to visit Dublin should make sure that that have confirmed reservations for Dublin hotels.

Another two popular tourist destinations for the romantics would be Belfast and Cork. According to the website, Cheaper Than Hotels, Cork hotels could be as cheap as EUR50. If you are willing to spend a little more, you can expect very comfortable living conditions that come with extras. The same go for Belfast hotels.

Well, if you are making plans for a romantic holiday come Valentine’s Day, perhaps you should consider Ireland. What do you think?
