Budapest Hungary

The heart of Budapest Hungary, around the Castle Hill area, is a beautiful part of the city, despite suffering many times from invasions by Celts, Romans, Huns, Ottomans and Austrians. In World War II, the city was partly destroyed by Allied air raids, then besieged during the Battle of Budapest when the attacking Russians and defending German and Hungarian troops caused major damage. The Hungarians, however, have always rebuilt their city and today it is as lovely as ever.

Buda Castle, on the southern tip of Castle Hill next to the old Castle District, is the historical seat of the Hungarian kings in Budapest and today houses the Historical Museum of Budapest Hungary. It display marvelous paintings, including those of Eastern European and Hungarian artists as well as modern artists such as Picasso and Lichtenstein. Nearby, the neo Gothic Mathis Church has a colorful roof, and a wonderful interior which was renovated in the 19^th century back to its 13^th-century splendor. The gallery contains sacred relics and medieval stone carvings, along with replicas of the Hungarian coronation jewels.

In Pest, be sure to visit the National Museum dedicated to the history and natural history of the country. St Stephen’s Basilica, with its neo-Renaissance dome, offers 360-degree views of the city for those with a head for heights. The National Opera House is spectacularly ornate, built during the glory days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, while the parliament building is well worth seeing, as are the Hungarian crow jewels on display there.

If you tire of cultural sightseeing, visit Margit-signet, one of the islands in the Danube which is a popular recreational area for tourists and local alike, with its park. Japanese garden, small zoo and musical fountain.

Another island in the Danube, Obudai-sziget, hosts the Sziget Festival every year in August, one of Europe’s largest music and cultural events.

The result are spectacular. Twenty-first century architecture is everywhere piercing the concrete excesses of communism and Ceausescu with steel and glass. Simultaneously, the city has embraced its history, from the Curta Veche – the remains of Bucharest’s medieval royal court – to Lipscani, the recently pedestrianized district which best displays the 19^th and early 20^th century elegance it once coveted. Along the revitalized Calea Victoriei, Bucharest’s attempt at a Champs Elyssees, beautiful monuments like the imitaton Arc de Triomphe. 18^th century churches, and glass-roofed arcades like the Macca-Vilacrosse have been brought back to life.

The chain of lakes that crosses the city has the Cismigiu Gardens, built to a German design in 1847, as its recreational centerpiece of waterside cafes and botanical delights. Palatial 19^th century buildings like the CEC Palace hold banks and other instituations. Ceausescu destroyed the greater part of Bucharest’s historic centre to build the Central Civiv, the world’s second or third biggest building. The city of Bucharest Romania can’t change it back – but it has learned both to mock its hubris, and to put it to good use.

Re-defined, Bucharest Romania is a terrific demonstration of Romanian potential, and an original new European capital for visitors to enjoy.

The palm-studded, white sandy beaches of the area, with the crystalline blue waters of the Indian Ocean lapping on the shore, make for a relaxed atmosphere in Bagamoyo Tanzania. Looking out towards the clear blue sea, it is difficult to tell which century you are in as the traditional hand-built wooden dhows continue to ply the waters. The local fisherman sail in these Arabian-designed craft with their billowing triangular sails aloft, vying for space on the waves among the many dugout canoes. Women wade through the surf with impossibly large piles of laundry or fresh produce carried securely in baskets on their heads.

Bagamoyo Tanzania

Once a busy port and the major slave trading post in East Africa, Bagamoyo Tanzania, meaning ‘lay down your heart’ in Swahili, was the last place slaves stayed in Tanzania before being transported to other countries – largely heading on to Zanzibar or Arab nations. Although the slave trade officially ended here in 1873, slaves continued to be sold and traded through to the end of the nineteenth century. It was not uncommon to see multitudes of them, shackled at the neck, converged on the docks awaiting their fate. At the time, Livingstone calculated that for every slave who reached the coast, ten did not.

Relatively untouched by time, the town of Bagamoyo Tanzania largely comprises stone architecture that has been influenced by its Arab and Indian traders, the German colonial government and Christian missionaries who settled here. One of the main features of the buildings is the elaborately carved wooden doors. Outside of the town, you will gradually encounter more traditionally African houses with fences made of palm fronds.

Historically significant sites include the nearby thirteenth-century Islamic Kaole Ruins, built of coral and comprising two mosques and several tombs.

In the 1800s, Christian missionaries established a ‘Freedom Village’ here to protect freed slaves and the Roman Catholic Mission is also worth a visit; it is the oldest Roman Catholic Church in East and Central Africa, built in 1868. In 1874, Dr Livingstone’s body was kept here before its return to England for burial.

Bagamoyo Tanzania is also home to the most famous art college in Tanzania, Chuo cha Sanaa. Students from all over the world come here to learn traditional Tanzanian drumming, sculpture, carving and painting. While you are here you can arrange to take a class or hear an African drumming performance at the college.

On a clear day, the snowy peaks of the Djebel Toubkal can be seen hovering in the distance past the gates of the Kasbah. The native women, the Roudani, can be seen in the early evenings chatting in lines around the ramparts in their colourful clothes.

Seville Spain

The Roman period is represented by various ruins, including an aqueduct. Well-preserved remains of Italica, 8 km (5 mi) out of the city, give a wonderful impression of what Roman Seville (then called Hispalis) must have been like. Moorish influence is also evident, with the Giralda minaret tower being a fine example. Built with sloping ramps to allow the muezzin to ride a horse to the top before calling the faithful to prayer, it was converted to a bell tower for the Cathedral after the Moors were expelled. The 15^th century Seville Spain Cathedral itself is a vast medieval Gothic triumph with a stunning, richly gilded interior.

Across from the Cathedral is the Alcazar with its beautiful gardens, developed over the centuries from a Moorish palace, Other special monuments include the 16^th century Town Hall and ancient Torre de Oro, a watchtower on the river.

Rouen France

Sitting proudly beside the River Seine, Rouen’s town centre is largely given over to pedestrian street, some narrow and cobbled, lined with old buildings. There are plenty of typically Norman half-timbered house and some splendid churches. The Palais de Justice is an important example of civic architecture from the late Middle Ages, the vast New Market Hall being the oldest part. Rouen France Cathedral is a superb Gothic edifice with a famous ‘butter tower’. It contains one of Richard the Lionheart’s tombs (there are three in France – this one claiming the best bit, his eponymous heart). Monet did a famous series of paintings of the Cathedral, some of which may be seen in the Musee d’Orsay in Paris. The Gros Horloge is an intriguing 16^th-century astronomical clock, recently restored.

But Rouen France is more than just a pretty face. To those who have been enjoying the atmospheric city centre, it may come as a surprise to be reminded that this is France’s fourth-largest port city. It’s the closest that container ships can get to Paris and is busy, but well worth seeing after a pleasant stroll along the riverside.

The Pyramids Of Giza And The Sphinx In Egypt

Created within almost pinpoint accuracy, the three structures – Khufu, the oldest and largest; Khafre, which seems taller because it is built on higher ground; and Menkaura, with a base area of less than a quarter of the others – inspire questions about their greater meaning.

The Pyramids Of Giza And The Sphinx In Egypt | Source : iweddingclub.com

The sides of The Pyramid of Khufu are oriented to within three degrees of true north. The base, with each of its sides measuring 230 m (756 ft), is level to within 1 in (2.6 cm), and the difference in length between each of the four sides is a mere 2 in (5.2 cm) – a minute margin of error. Until the 19th century, the pyramids remained, after nearly 5,000 years, the tallest structure in the world.

At first sight, the pyramids, not unlike the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, can be disappointing. After so many photographs of these hulking structures surrounded by nothing but desert, it is a bit disconcerting to see suburban Cairo virtually resting against the paws of the great Sphinx.

Still, the enchanting half lion (representing royalty), half human (with a traditional headdress symbolising power) figure casts an impressive image, particularly with the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Khufu looming in the near distance. Carved from a single outcrop of bedrock, it is the earliest example of colossal Egyptian sculpture.

Stone from the monuments has been used to erect many of Cairo’s oldest buildings. This destruction continued until the late 19th century when conservation efforts and a resurgence in national pride put a stop to it. Had they not been vandalised, it is believed that the pyramids would remain today much as they were when they were built. As the saying goes, ‘Many fear Time, but Time fears the Pyramids’.

What To Know About The Pyramids Of Giza And The Sphinx In Egypt

Only 300 tickets are sold a day for each of the two entrances – it is first come, first served – and only two of the three pyramids are open at a time. Go early to get in line.

Aswan Egypt

The relaxed atmosphere of this riverside town made Aswan Egypt popular as a winter resort among wealthy Europeans enticed by the setting and the rumours that the dry heat provided a cure for various ailments. Because of the influx of foreigners, a Nile-side Corniche was created, providing moorings for the many steamers.

City Aswan From Nile River In Egypt | Source : en.wikipedia.org

The Aswan Egypt Corniche is the most attractive waterfront boulevard in Egypt and, with its attractive walkways and gorgeous views of palm-covered islands with a backdrop of sandy white hills, has been compared to the French Riviera. It is worth the cost of hiring a felucca and floating amidst the scenery as if in a dream.

At the southern end of the Corniche is the Old Cataract Hotel – famous as one of the locations for the film Death on the Nile. Built in 1899 on a rocky outcrop in the river, its grand pink exterior and Moorish dining halls are a reminder of times past. Its large terrace has been enjoyed by such luminaries as Winston Churchill, Jimmy Carter and the late Princess of Wales.

Sharia el-Souq, a short way inland, is a bustling outdoor market full of vivid colours and the aromas of exotic spices. Traditional food, Nubian jewellery and textiles (as well as the usual tourist souvenirs) should not be missed.

It is believed that millions of years ago Ngorongoro was roughly the same size as Mount Kilimanjaro. However, when the volcanic activity subsided, it collapsed, forming the crater – the world’s largest unbroken caldera. The crater is 610 m (2,001 ft) deep and covers an area of 260 sq km (162 sq mi).

ino, but you will not find giraffes as the tree-level food is sparse.

Another highlight of the park is the abundance of flamingoes of Lake Magadi on the crater’s floor. The spectacle of a bubble-gum coloured cloud of these magnificent birds against an emerald green backdrop is unforgettable!

The otherworldly scene is punctuated by the sight of Masai tribesmen in their traditional attire, herding cattle, sheep and goats.

In the northern of Ngorongoro Conservation Area Tanzania, and more remote, part of the conservation area are the Olmoti and Empakaai craters, Lake Natron and Oldoinyo Lengai, or the Mountain of God as the Masai call it. East Africa’s flamingoes breed at Lake Natron. On the eastern side of Empakaai are the Engakura ruins, which feature a terraced stone city and a complex irrigation system. The stone buildings are rare because the concept is unusual in this part of Africa.
