Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. One of its main advantages is that its small size allows us to visit on a weekend getaway. But surely, the visitor will want to return, dazzled by the charm of the city, where the atmosphere is midway between the medieval and nineteenth-century.

To start your visit to Edinburgh, we recommend arriving by bus or walk to Princess Street, and start from there visit the old city center.

Princess Street is one of the main streets of the city, along with its parallel, Queen Street and George Street, home to most of Edinburgh’s finest restaurants, the shops recommended and most atmospheric pubs in the city. From the esplanade of Princes Street is accessible to the National Gallery of Scotland, the Royal Scottish Academy, and Waverley train station. From here you can see Edinburgh Castle at the top of the hill, and we’ll take it as a reference because it will surely be the next stop on our tour of Edinburgh. (más…)

2,000 years ago the city of Pompeii, in the Gulf of Naples (southern Italy), was being rebuilt after being hit by an earthquake.

Probably many will agree that London is one of the best cities to visit with children: city of great distances, heavy traffic, with much cement and frenetic activity everywhere. However, London is also the great city of museums, whose showmanship has spoken at length on many occasions.

Speaking of museums is not necessarily about adult entertainment, and a good example of this is the great Museum of Natural History in London. Opened in 1881 as such after “independence” of the British Museum, features thousands of specimens of all plant and animal species and entomological exhibition, mineralogical and paleontological.

The construction of the Domus Aurea (Golden House) has been considered the most extravagant enterprise throughout the history of Rome. When two thirds of the city were burnt by the great fire of 64, Emperor Nero used the “free” space to build his new palace. Built in a very short time, Nero committed suicide in AD 68 but before he could fully enjoy their stay, the huge golden dome that gave its name was just one of many bizarre elements of its decor: there was gold everywhere roof thrust with semi-precious stones and ivory auctions mosaics, precious finish, pools and fountains everywhere, an artificial lake …
