Food Off: London Vs Paris

Pasta The belief that Paris is Europe’s undisputed gastronomy capital is outdated at best. In recent years, several other European cities have stepped into the limelight and won over the taste buds of tourists. Italy boasts several culinary contenders, including Sorrento, Siena, Rome, and Florence, the last of which has become a particular tourist favourite; Copenhagen, San Sebastian, and Barcelona also receive honourable mentions. But perhaps the most surprising city to claim a spot in the world culinary competition is London, a city that has suffered from a negative—if bland—culinary image for far too long. Over the past decade, London has been lauded by food critics and tourists alike for its gastronomic diversity and innovation. In fact, four London restaurants made the list of the Top 10 European Restaurants on TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards 2012, putting the rest of Europe to shame. What makes London an exciting culinary destination is that in recent years, the cit...

Honeymoon Destinations That Won’t Break the Bank

Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things a young couple can go through: thankfully you get to have a lovely holiday at the end of it. The honeymoon can sometimes be as extravagant as the big day itself, but with your purse strings already being tightened,  wouldn't  it make more sense to look for a holiday that’s a little less expensive? I’m not suggesting compromising on quality: but some of the best holiday destinations can be found closer to home, avoiding expensive long haul flights and bizarre exchange rates. Search for all inclusive deals to get an even better bargain. Sardinia West of Italy and South of Corsica, the island of Sardinia has been a favourite destination of celebrities for years.

Why You Should Rent an Apartment When You Travel to Paris

Paris is the most popular tourist destination in the world, with over 14 million visitors per year. With so many tourists in the city, it can be hard to find the real Paris and get away from the crowds. Besides visiting during less popular times (such as November or January), one of the best ways to capture the Parisian spirit is to live like a local and rent an apartment for your stay. Renting an apartment is a great alternative to renting a hotel and here are some reasons why: Cheap Flights Economy for Your Euro (Bang for Your Buck) Paris is an expensive city, and the average price of a double room in a hotel is 204 euros per night (approximately 271 U.S. dollars per night). Most apartments cost less per night and many can sleep from four to six people, bringing the cost per night to even lower rates if you travel as a group. Apartments also give you more space than tiny Parisian hotel rooms, having living and sleeping space, storage areas for your luggage, and some sort of...
