Varkala & Alleppey Road Trip
2024-08-01 08:00 - 2024-08-04 17:00 (Asia/Kolkata) | Kerala, India
Varkala
Perched almost perilously along the edge of majestic 49ft- (15m) high red laterite cliffs, 31 miles (50km) northwest of Trivandrum, Varkala has a naturally beautiful setting that has allowed it to steadily grow into Kerala’s most popular backpacker hang-out. A small strand of golden beach nuzzles Varkala’s North Cliff area, where restaurants play innocuous music and shops sell elephant-stamped trousers, silver jewellery and cotton yoga-mat bags.

Alleppey
Alappuzha – most still call it Alleppey – is the hub of Kerala’s backwaters, home to a vast network of waterways, over a thousand houseboats and an important coir industry. Wandering around the small but chaotic city centre, with its modest grid of canals, you’d be hard-pressed to agree with the ‘Venice of the East’ tag, and, sadly, at research time a hulking new highway flyover was marring the beauty of Alleppey’s popular beach.

2024-02-23 08:00 - 2024-02-26 17:00 | puri
JAGANNATH – PURI

Puri: Lord Krishna’s heart:
The Puri temple is also famous because many legends believe that Krishna’s heart was placed there and the material that it is made from damages the heart so they have to change it every seven years. The temple is sacred to all Hindus, and especially to those of the Vaishnava traditions.

Jagannath: Lord Ram’s family deity

Both the Ramayana and Mahabharata also mention Lord Jagannath. In the Ramayana Lord Ram tells Vibhishan that Jagannath is the family deity of his Ikshvaku clan. Then Vibhishan is said to have composed a hymn praising the god and even today there is a ritual in the temple called ‘Vibhishan bandana’.

Travel Buddies is going explore one of the most mysterious and religious places in the world.

Specialized for Parents, You with your parents and 60+ solo travellers!
Why us?
We have been travelling and organizing trips since 20144, have been to 65 countries and explored most of India. We are starting this kind of trip because our parents also want to travel, we know what kind of hotels they need, what kind of food they need and what type of slow pace trip they need.
Itinerary:
Day 1: Bhubaneswar – Beaches of Puri
Day 2: Shree Jagannatha Temple
Day 3: Chilika Lake cruise and dolphin
Day 4: Explore the market, fly back

Day 1: 23 Feb
Land in Bhubaneswar and travel to Puri (60 km)

Check in and take some rest, today we will go slow and explore some nearby places in the evening.

Puri Beach, also known as Golden Beach, is one of the finest coastlines in East India, bordering the Bay of Bengal. It is often flocked by devotees visiting the beach for a purification dip who come to Puri to pay their homage to Lord Jagannath. The beach is also renowned for the sand sculptures made by internationally-known sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik.

Lokanath Temple is an ancient temple located in the Puri town. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is one of the most important Shiva shrines of Odisha. The unique feature of this temple is that the Shiva linga is always submerged with water. It can only be seen on Pankodhar Ekadasi, before Shivaratri, when the water is comparatively clearer.v
Lighthouse.

Stay in Puri

Day 2: 24 Feb

Jagannath Temple Aarti
Dwarpitha and Mangal Aarti at 5 AM(optional)

Jagannath Temple (9am)

It took three generations’ worth of time and effort to brick up the humongous walls of the famous Puri’s Jagannath Temple located in Odisha. The temple is of utmost importance to the Hindu devotees as it is one of the Char-Dham Pilgrimages. It also serves as a mighty historical structure built about millennia ago, in the year 1078. Millions of people visit Odisha to gain Lord Jagannath blessings.
The temple is famous for its annual Rath Yatra which is witnessed by millions as the three colossal chariots carry the deities. The English word Juggernaut shares its origin from this annual parade. But that’s not the sole speciality of the place! Some enigmatic activities without any scientific explanations have caught the travellers eye worldwide.

Mystery of the temple:
There are two mysteries present at the pinnacle of the temple in the form of the Sudarshan Chakra. The first oddity revolves around the theory of how the hard metal weighing about a tonne, just got up there without any machinery just with a human force of that century.
The second is one deals with the architectural technique related to the Chakra. From every direction you look, the Chakra looks back with the same appearance. It’s like it was designed to look just the same from every direction.

Raghurajpur Craft Village
It goes without saying that consider your trip to Puri incomplete if you skip the visit to Raghurajpur Craft Village, as one of the best things to do at Puri at night is considered to be shopping. Buy the world-famous Pattachitra paintings at prices which are a steal. The paintings are on treated cloth or dried palm leaves or paper. Evenings since late-night remain fun-filled and completely exciting.

Sunset :
This is one of the most prominent points of interest around the city of Puri. The beach is enveloped within a forest cover, adding an exotic element to it. Travellers make it a point to visit this beach for unlimited fun and entertainment. Mahashivaratri festival is celebrated with great fervour at the temple nearby and is visited by thousands of devotees during the festival.

Stay in Puri

Day 3: 25 Feb

Konark Sun Temple

Sun Temple of Konark, built in the middle of 13th century, is a massive conception of artistic magnificence and engineering dexterity. King Narasimhadeva I, the great ruler of the Ganga dynasty had built this temple, with the help of 1200 artisans within a period of 12 years (1243-1255 A.D.). Since the ruler used to worship the Sun, the temple was considered as a chariot for the Sun God. Konark Temple was designed in the form of a gorgeously decorated chariot mounted on 24 wheels , each about 10 feet in diameter, and drawn by 7 mighty horses. It is really difficult to understand, how this huge temple, every inch-space of which was so wonderfully carved, could have been completed within such a short time. Whatever that might be, the konark temple even in its present ruined state, still a wonder to the whole world. Great poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote of Konark: “Here the language of stone surpasses the language of man”.

Chilika Lake cruise /Boat ride (OTDC Ferry ghat):
Today we will go to Chilika Lake to experience the beauty of Lake Chilika and try our luck to see dolphins.
Chilika Lake, located in Odisha is a pear-shaped saltwater lake spreading across around 1100 square kilometres. It is the largest saltwater lagoon in Asia and the second largest in the world. Connected to the Bay of Bengal by a 32 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide channel, the exact location of Chilika Lake is in the middle of coastal Odisha.v

Allarnath Temple (if we have time )
Lord Alarnath temple in Brahmagiri, around 25 km from Puri, is not a big tourist destination but a famous religious place for all Krishna devotees. It is explained that in Satya Yuga, Lord Brahma came and worshipped Lord Vishnu here on top of a hill. One day Lord Vishnu appeared and said, “I am very pleased with your worship. Make a four-armed Deity of Me holding shankha, chakra, gada, and padma (conch shell, disk, club, and lotus). The Deity should be made from a piece of black stone. Also install a Deity of Garuda”. Lord Vishnu also said, “This place will be called Brahmagiri (Brahma’s hill) because you have worshipped me here”. According to mythology, the rulers of Alwar in Rajasthan had established the temple here. The temple was later known as Alwarnath or Alarnath.

Auli is a land blessed with natural and cultural diversity. A land where people live in the lap of pristine nature. A land where trade once flourished between the great Himalayan Kingdoms. A land of heritage, festivals and rituals, a land of green meadows and snow-covered mountains. Welcome to Auli, it’s a nature’s paradise.

The five-day itinerary is unparalleled in the beauty of nature, thrilling difficulties, speed of light and efficiency.

DAY:02
• SANKRI TO JUDA KA TALAB (2,774 M): 4 KM TREK IN B3 TO 4 HOURS

We leave early from Sankri post breakfast and start trekking towards Juda Ka Talab. The path from Sankri to the base camp is a happening one. With kids on their way to the school and local village women starting their daily errands and chores, the trek starts from the village crossing another village, Saud, before you reach the trail that leads to Kedarkantha. The trail takes you into the pine forest and starts to climb sharply until you reach a ridge after a while. On the ridge, the trail evens out and widens. The density of the forest makes the walk very cool for the sun is not able to penetrate through the thickness of the pine and maple trees. You will finally reach Juda Ka Talab, which is a small lake famous for three landmasses floating on it. For the night, we come by the lake and enjoy the dinner under the gleaming presence of billions of stars!v

DAY:03
JUDA KA TALAB TO KEDARKANTHA BASE CAMP (3,429 M): 4 KM IN 3 HOURS

Moving past Juda Ka Talab, a trail takes you deeper into the dense pine forests. Continue walking and you will finally hit a meadow dotted with shepherd’s huts. After climbing another thousand feet, you will reach the destination of the day – Kedarkantha base camp. It takes about 2-3 hours to complete this part of the trek. The trail from Juda Ka Talab till the base camp is indescribably beautiful and mesmerizing. It is the perfect location for photographers and nature lovers! The base camp is colder than the summit because of lack of insulation. Even from the base camp, the famous peaks of Uttarakhand are visible at a stretch, making it the perfect spot to camp at.

DAY:04
• KEDARKANTHA BASE CAMP TO KEDARKANTHA SUMMIT (3,810 M) AND
BACK TO SANKRI/KOTGAWN (2,713 M): 8 KM IN 5-6 HOURS

This is the day you’ve been working hard for! The trek from the base camp to the summit is not a long one. On reaching the summit, your jaw is going to drop and your eyes will not blink. The Kedarkantha summit is marked by an arrangement of stones with a Trishul that points to the sky. The summit offers an astonishing 360-degree view of the peaks of Uttarakhand and the Chaainsheel Pass and Kailash ranges of Himachal.From the top, you can also see the Har Ki Dun valley below. The story behind Kedarkantha is an interesting one. The name literally means the throat of Lord Shiva (Kedar refers to Lord Shiva and Kantha means Throat). The legend has it that this peak was supposed to be the original Kedarnath temple but Lord Shiva, who disguised himself as a cow hiding from the Pandavas was disturbed during meditation by the villagers. The interruption made him change his location from this peak

DAY:05
SANKRI TO DEHRADUN: 187 KM DRIVE IN 7 TO 8 HOURS

Going back home always feels great. But the drive will not make it easy for we take the same alluring road back to Dehradun. The landscape slowly changes from pine forests to wider roads as we head back towards Dehradun, finally opening up into the bustling city life.v

Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Its main town, Longyearbyen, sits at 78 degrees north, making it the northernmost year-round inhabited town on earth. It’s a jurisdiction of Norway but allows anyone of any nationality to live there so long as they can prove they have the means to support themselves.
March offers more sunlight than February but only a barely perceptible rise in temperature, with averages ranging between -20°C and -13°C. As Svalbard is only just coming out of winter at this time there is an average of 3.17 hours of daylight and pack ice has not started to melt away yet.

Itinerary :
Day 1: Longyearbyen
Day 2: Dog Sled Activity
Day 3: Camp Barentz (Camp with locals)
Day 4: Coal Mine Hike / Northern Light Hunt
Day 5: Fly back Home

Day 1

first, look at the town and visit the northernmost museum in the world. Explore the world town, which is nearest to the North Pole.

Day 2
After breakfast, we will be picked up for our next activity of dog sledging activity.
Dog Sled
Your guide will pick you up at your hotel and by car take you through beautiful Advent valley, to our wilderness kennel in Bolterdalen. Here you will change clothes and get a throughout briefing from the guide, before we harness the dogs and set off into the beautiful valley of Bolterdalen.
We are sledding in pairs and in front the guide will be mushing with two guests. We take turns in steering the slsedge, so all who wishes to steer can try it.
We are mushing next to the frozen riverbed, which is surrounded by majestic mountains. When we reach the morrain, the dogs will be excited going up and downhill and the fun will last all the way back to the kennel. Back at the kennel, we will meet the latest generation of puppies and the guide will offer hot drinks, warm waffles & brandy in our heated log cabin.

Global Seed Vault or doomsday vault
Party in the town

Day 3
After breakfast, we will be picked up for our next activity
Camp Barentz
Camp Barentz boasts an amazing location at the foot of the mountain, Breinosa, right below Mine 7. One of the buildings at the camp, Barentz Hus, is a copy of the cabin that the discoverer of Svalbard, Willem Barentz, overwintered in on Novaya Zemlya in 1596. Here, far from town, you can take in the stunning Svalbard landscape. At Camp Barentz, we often see Svalbard reindeer, and even grouse and foxes if you are lucky. Our knowledgeable hosts are also on watch in case a polar bear should appear.
As we arrive at the cosy wooden cabins we will be met by the evening’s host. Good drinks and delicious homemade reindeer bidos will be served, together with campfire coffee and dessert. Welcome to a real Svalbard meal!

Day 4
After breakfast, we will be picked up for our next activity
Hike to Coal Mine
Join us for an exciting adventure, out of town, into the polar to feel the darkness and silence in Svalbard.
Start with pickup at the hotels and guesthouses in town before a short drive to the outside facility of Mine Number 3. On the way there, you will pass the world-renowned Global Seed Vault where over 1 million seeds from around the world are stored. The first seed bank on Svalbard was opened in Mine no. 3 in 1984. This is where the ideas to build the Global Seed Vault on Svalbard started — by storing seeds in the permafrost with no need for electricity. Enter the facility and explore maps over Longyearbyen and Svalbard. Enjoy a historic coal mine and listen to the stories and anecdotes of what was the last mine in town where thin-seam production was applied. Expect in-depth information about the town’s history and why some men decided to settle here some 100 years ago. A model of the mine is used to illustrate how the coal was extracted using thin-seam techniques. Walk through the workshops and see machines and equipment that was left behind when the mine was shut down in 1996. Put on a miner’s overall and crawl through a replica of a mining shaft and get a feeling of how a miner spent his days. Towards the end of the tour, discover the mine itself by walking 300 meters in and entering two different side tunnels.

What is Svalbard?
Svalbard is a group of islands technically owned by Norway. Yet, they don’t operate as traditional territory since people from any nation of the world can come here to live and work visa-free.
The islands are fairly large (23,561 square meters) but are mostly uninhabited. The biggest city, the capital Longyearbyen, has just over 2,000 people.
Spitsbergen is the biggest island on Svalbard and is likely where you’ll be spending your visit (since the rest of the islands are so hard to get to).

What is Svalbard’s currency?
Since Svalbard is a part of Norway, they use the same Norwegian Krone as the mainland.

Who lives in Svalbard?
Since anyone can live and work in Svalbard visa-free, this isolated island is surprisingly diverse and is a place people from 50+ countries call home. Naturally, there are many Norwegians but there are also large groups of Russian, Ukrainian, Thai, Swedish, and German people.

What language do people in speak in Svalbard?
Officially, Norwegian. But as with the Norwegian mainland, everyone speaks English.

its life as a single ancient Roman palace. Built for Emperor Diocletian’s retirement, this huge fortified
palace took up much of the modern city center. Even with changes over the centuries, it’s still clear
where Diocletian’s Palace once stood.
As you enter the palace, you’ll pass beyond the city walls through one of Split’s four city gates such as
the Brass Gates which connect it with the city’s waterfront promenade.

Citizens from most western countries can get them on arrival. It costs $50 for a single entry. You can pay by cash or card. For US citizens the visa costs $100 but it is a multi-entry visa.

PASSPORT
Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 more months and have 1 blank passport page.

YELLOW FEVER
If you’re flying to Tanzania and Zanzibar from places without a Yellow Fever risk (Europe, USA, Australia etc.) you shouldn’t need a Yellow Fever certificate. BUT If you are transiting through a country with a risk of Yellow Fever (Kenya, Ethiopia) for more than 12 hours – sometimes even less, you might need one. You can see the countries with the risk of yellow fever (YF) here.

VACCINATIONS
Besides Yellow fever, and even that with exceptions, there are no obligatory vaccinations. There are recommended ones from World Health Organisation (WHO) but consult your doctor before your visit. Recommender vaccinations are hepatitis A and B, typhoid, cholera, rabies, meningitis, tetanus … Have a look at the recommended vaccines for Tanzania here.

TRAVEL INSURANCE
Make sure to purchase travel insurance before your travel. I have seen two people needing medical assistance in Zanzibar. One was because of heat stroke. Another sprained her ankle. Seriously, you never know, so better be safe than sorry.

DRESS CODE
Majority of the population is Muslim. Respect their culture and dress appropriately. This is especially true when visiting local villages or walking around the streets in Stone town. Wearing a bikini on a beach is perfectly fine.

CAMBODIA
English Cambodia is an anglicisation of the French Cambodge, which in turn is the French transliteration of the Khmer.
Magical, mysterious, and absolutely mesmerizing, Angkor Wat is one of those bucket list places that every human should experience before they die. Here is the largest Buddhist temple on earth, which took 30 years to build during the 12th century (113-5BC) and spans over 208 hectares (500 acres).
Cambodia is a Southeast Asian nation whose landscape spans low-lying plains, the Mekong Delta, mountains and Gulf of Thailand coastline. Phnom Penh, its capital, is home to the art deco Central Market, glittering Royal Palace and the National Museum’s historical and archaeological exhibits. In the country’s northwest are the ruins of Angkor Wat, a massive stone temple complex built during the Khmer Empire.
We are starting 2023 with a country rich in history and gorgeous like heaven. Join us for only Cambodia or Join our Vietnam + Cambodia combo trip to explore the unknown.

Itinerary:
Day 1: Land in Siem Reap
Day 2: Angkor Wat
Day 3: Explore Siem Reap
Day 4: Drive to Phnom Penh
Day 5: Explore Phnom Penh
Day 6: Fly Back
Day 1 : Land in Siem Reap
Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia, is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th–the 15th centuries. Angkor’s vast complex of intricate stone buildings includes preserved Angkor Wat, the main temple, which is pictured on Cambodia’s flag. Giant, mysterious faces are carved into the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom.
Land in this beautiful city and check in at the hotel.
We will go to see the magnificent Angkor Wat Sunset!
Overnight Stay in Siem Reap
Day 2 : Angkor Wat, Ta Phrom, Preah Khan Temple,Bayon
Today, we will visit the mighty Angkor Wat and 3 other temples, which are the best ones and must be on every itinerary.
Angkor Wat is dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu who is one of the three principal gods in the Hindu pantheon (Shiva and Brahma are the others). Among them he is known as the “Protector.” The major patron of Angkor Wat was King Suryavarman II, whose name translates as the “protector of the sun.”
Ta Prohm is the undisputed capital of the kingdom of the Trees’. It has been left untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave of further deterioration.
A Sanskrit inscription on stone, still in place, give details of the temple. Ta Prohm 3,140 villages. It took 79,365 people to maintain the temple including 18 great priests, 2,740 officials, 2,202 assistants and 615 dancers. Among the property belonging to the temple was a set of golden dishes weighing more than 500 kilograms, 35 diamonds, 40,620 pearls, 4,540 precious stones, 876 veils from China, 512 silk beds and 523 parasols. Even considering that these numbers were probably exaggerated to glorify the king, Ta Prohm must have been an important and impressive monument.

Preah Khan temple is located in the Angkor Archaeological Park and is still largely unrestored. It is one of the larger temple complexes within the historic park. Preah Khan translates to “Holy Sword” in Khmer, named by Jayavarman VII in honour of his battle victory against the invading force of Chams, who belonged to a kingdom in what is now Vietnam, in the year 1191.
This majestic temple complex is surrounded by a moat, and its surface area stretches over a swatch of land that’s 800 meters by 700 meters, enclosing an area of 56 hectares. Its aesthetics are very similar to nearby famous Angkor temple Ta Prohm, with vegetation and trees seeming to swallow the ruins.

The Bayon was built as a Buddhist temple. A statue of the main idol, a seated Buddha image sheltered under the hoods of the snake Mucalinda, was discovered in a pit under the main shrine.
Turned into a Hindu temple
A few decades after the death of King Jayavarman VII, the temple was turned into a Hindu temple when King Jayavarman VIII reverted the official Khmer religion back to Hinduism; images of the Buddha were destroyed or turned into Hindu images.
Overnight Stay in Siem Reap
Day 3 : Explore Siem Reap
Today, we will explore Siem Reap.
Eat Red Ants
When in Cambodia, you should eat as the locals eat. We’re not talking about going all out with spiders or larva. Start small with yummy dishes like beef and ants. The flavour of the ants is bitter and the crunch is reminiscent of eating caviar. The balance of beef and gravy compliments each spoonful of ants quite well, especially with a beer on the side.
Order this plate at a snazzy restaurant like Marum where dishes (and experiences) are meant to be shared or try Mie Café whose in-house chef makes the most gourmet red ant dishes in the whole city.

Old Market

Get the local experience at The Old Market, or as the locals call it “Psar Chaa”. Built in the 1920’s, here is where residents of Siem Reap come to get their produce, grains, and meat for homecooked meals.
The market is divided into small sections selling different goods. Go to the fruit section where you can get organic fruit like mangosteens and dragon fruit at local prices, walk down the dim alleyways of the meat section where you’ll find freshly made sausages hanging on strings, or walk through the rows of vendors sitting on straw floor mats selling dried seafood.

Aspara Dance Performance

A mixture between Cirque du Soleil and a Native American Pow Wow, the Aspara Dance performance is absolutely mesmerizing.
Aspara, meaning “beautiful girls” in Khmer, was historically performed by girls who were believed to have supernatural powers. The dance stems all the way back to Angkorian times when Suryavarman II was in power. Back then, these goddess-like women only danced for the royal family.
These days, you can be royalty when you snag a ticket for the evening performance. The show is a full-on production with captivating dancers, intricate costumes, professional lighting, and intense backdrops that lasts for over an hour.

Wander Pub Street

With so much culture, history, and ancient architecture to take in during the day, you might just want to let off some mindless steam at night. For a relaxed evening of western food and a wild night of Angkor beers on tap, head to Pub Street.
This long walking road surrounded by neon signs, bars touting bucket drink specials, and groups of social travellers everywhere you turn, Pub Street has become the official backpacker’s oasis in the middle of Siem Reap.
Day 4 & 5: Phnom Penh
Today, we will travel 350+ km to Phnom Penh.
Vibrant, bustling Phnom Penh is the heartbeat of Cambodia. This sprawling capital, spread out beside the banks of both the Tonlé Sap and Mekong Rivers, is a city of wide central boulevards and skinny back alleys, where modern and old collide.
Highlights
Royal Palace
Stupas of Wat Ounalom
Cruise on Phnom Penh’s Riverss
Russian Market
Sisowath Quay

Day 6
Fly back to your home sweet home with happy memories.

PORTUGAL
2022-09-05 08:00 - 2022-09-12 17:00 | portugal
PORTUGAL

Portugal is a country where the sun shines 300 days a year, a country with an amazing history, an extraordinary culture, delicious gastronomy, magnificent landscape, beautiful beaches, mountains greater than you can imagine and warm people that will make you feel at home.
Portugal is one of those rare countries in the world that once you visit, you will never forget.
(Day 1) Land in Porto (Fly from India/Barcelona),
Porto City in Portugal
Porto is a coastal city in northwest Portugal known for its stately bridges and port wine production. In the medieval Ribeira (riverside) district, narrow cobbled streets wind past merchants’ houses and cafes. São Francisco Church is known for its lavish baroque interior with ornate gilded carvings. The palatial 19th-century Palácio de Bolsa, formerly a stock market, was built to impress potential European investors.
Clérigos Tower is the iconic baroque bell tower of Clérigos Church. An old tram follows the river to beachside bars in affluent Foz. Up the coast is fishing port Matosinhos, where seafood restaurants offer grilled sardines on the street. The 1886 Dom Luís iron bridge has a walkway that crosses the Douro River to the port wine lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia. São Bento train station’s immense azulejo tile panels depict battles and rural life in Portugal. The famous Lello & Irmão bookstore has ornate art nouveau features, and the Serralves Museum traces the history of contemporary art.
The double-decker Dom Luis I bridge is an icon of the city of Porto. It spans the River Douro linking the Port wine houses of Vila Nova de Gaia with the bustling downtown Ribeira district of Porto. Construction took place between 1881 and 1886 with the bridge being built adjacent to an existing bridge which it replaced. The granite pillars of the original bridge are still in place, standing on the Ribeira like a pair of gate posts.
It is probably no coincidence that the bridge passes more than a fleeting resemblance of its neighbouring bridge, the Dona Maria Pia bridge. Both bridges consist of huge and complex ironwork frameworks with a great arch supporting the transit way. This should come as no surprise as the D. Maria Pia bridge was designed by Gustave Eiffel of Paris tower fame!
Dom Luis I Bridge http://travelbuddiestalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Dom-Lu%C3%ADs-I-Bridge-1024×632.jpgOpened in 1876 the D. Maria Pia bridge held the record for the largest span of any bridge of this type until work began on the Dom Luís bridge. The names of the two bridges came from the then king of Portugal, Luís I, and his wife, Maria Pia of Savoy. With a span of 172 metres (564 ft) and a height of 44.6 metres (146 ft) this was a great feat of engineering. The designer this time, Téophile Seyrig, had been Eiffel’s partner on the previous project and showed himself to be a more than able engineer with this bridge.
One of the notable features of the Ponte Dom Luís I is it’s two levels; one on top of the arch and the other suspended below it. Both decks were initially intended to carry road traffic but these days the top carries the Porto Metro trains as well as having a pedestrian walkway. It is worth making the crossing on the upper level, although being 60 metres (190 ft) above the waters of the Douro, it might not be for everyone!
São Bento is Porto’s central station, although the exterior of this grand building barely hints at its purpose. Completed in 1916 the station is built on the site of a 16th-century Benedictine monastery – from which the name São Bento is derived.
The monastery itself was almost destroyed by fire in 1783, and despite being rebuilt was barely standing at the end of the 19th century.
São Bento Railway Station was designed by a local architect, José Marques da Silva, with much of the influence coming from the French Beaux-Arts style. The first stone was laid by King Carlos I in 1900, although he was assassinated eight years later, before the station was completed.
Perhaps the best-known feature of the Estação de São Bento is the magnificent tilework in the main vestibule. These azulejo masterpieces consist of around 20 thousand tiles and depict a range of historic events along with scenes of Portuguese life and the history of transport. They are the work of Jorge Colaço, the most eminent azulejo painter of the day. He spent over 10 years painting the epic scenes which include the Battle of Valdevez (1140), the meeting of the knight Egas Moniz and Alfonso VII of León (12th century), the arrival of King John I and Philippa of Lancaster in Porto (1387) and the Conquest of Ceuta (1415).
Livraria Lello Porto: “WOW, look at that !” “That” is the Livraria Lello Porto and you have never seen anything like it. Although come to think of it, it probably reminds you of somewhere…
Fall in love with this fabulous bookshop and the totally unique spectacle of amazing interior architecture. This sumptuous bookshop inspired (yes, that’s it !) the Harry Potter library in Hogwarts. In fact, J.K Rowling lived in Porto teaching English in the early 1990s. Remember those awesome stairs and the impressive mouldings?
Clerigos Tower
The Clerigos Tower is one of the paradigmatic architectural landmarks of Porto. The structure is, in fact, part of the Clerigos Church, representing its bell tower. The church proper was built between 1732 and 1750, but the construction works at the Clerigos Tower started no sooner than 1754, only to be completed in 1763. It was designed by Nicolau Nasoni, the Italian architect who left a strong artistic print on Porto since he also contributed, at least in part, to the design of sundry other landmarks of the city, such as the Porto Cathedral, the Church of Mercy and the very Clerigos Church.
Alas, photos and filming are strictly forbidden and the sales staff are very vigilant. So soak in as many impressions as you can and remember it always.
Taylor’s Port House Wine Tasting:
Taylor’s is the archetypal Port house and its wines the quintessential Ports. Established over three centuries ago in 1692, Taylor’s is one of the oldest of the founding Port houses. It is dedicated entirely to the production of Port wine and in particular to its finest styles.
Above all, Taylor’s is regarded as the benchmark for Vintage Port. Noted for their elegance and poise as well as for their restrained power and longevity, Taylor’s Vintage Ports are blended from the finest wines of the firm’s own quintas or estates, Vargellas, Terra Feita and Junco. These three iconic properties, each occupying a distinct geographic location and with their own unique character, are the cornerstone of the company’s success and the main source of its unique and inimitable house style.
Q.How much does a ticket cost and what does it include?
12€/person: audio tour + port wine tasting // €6: children (8 years and upwards) for audio tour, with grape juice and crackers
Q.What wines will I taste?
Two of Taylor’s iconic Port wines to taste: Chip Dry – Extra Dry White and Late Bottled Vintage (LBV), invented by Taylor’s in the 1930’s and 1970’s respectively.
Lagos: (Day 2 & 3)
Take a morning train from Porto (06:22am) to Lisbon (09:22am) and change train to Lagos (02:00pm).
Lagos is a historic and lively city that is situated on the beautiful Western Algarve coastline. As a holiday destination, Lagos offers visitors glorious beaches, buzzing nightlife and a charming historic centre, which has retained its traditional character and charm. Within the Lagos region is an abundance of varied sights and activities, which makes the city a fantastic destination for tourists who want more than just great beaches and glorious weather for their holiday.
Praia do Camilo
Along with neighbouring Praia Dona Ana, the beach of Camilo is Lagos’ (if not one of the Algarve’s) iconic beach. Whilst Dona Ana may have the slight edge when it comes to outlandish, cohre rock formations and grottoes, Praia do Camilo shares the same golden sand and crystal clear, azure waters.
To reach the beach involves negotiating the 200 wooden steps which wind their way down the orange cliffs. These same cliffs offer shelter from the ocean winds making Praia do Camilo a veritable suntrap and safe for swimming. A short walk to the south of Camilo is the stunning Ponta da Piedade, a series of sandstone rock arches and sea stacks off Lagos’ most southerly headland.
Ponta da Piedade
The western Algarve comprises of vast sandy beaches and towering cliffs, many of which have been eroded and shaped by the powerful seas that batter the coastline. Along this fascinating coastline, the Ponta da Piedade is considered as the finest natural feature, with the cliffs of the headland carved into rock pillars, natural tunnels and hidden grottos. These golden sandstone cliffs of misshaped angles stand at stark contrast to the deep turquoises and greens of the sea waters, and the entire region is best described as simply stunning.
Old Lagos
The historic core of largos has whitewashed houses on a warren of patterned streets still partially contained by its 16th-century walls.
These are best seen on the Jardim da Constituição by the water, protecting the seat of the Governors of the Algarve province when Lagos was capital between 1576 and 1756. Close by there’s a monument to a grim period of the city’s history; the Mercado de Escravos was Lagos’ slave market for about 250 years from 1444, and is a reminder that the Age of Discovery had a human cost.
One hero from that period was Henry the Navigator, whose expeditions departed from the harbour in Lagos in the 15th century.
He is commemorated with a statue at the Praça Infante D. Henrique.
Lisbon: (Day 4 & 5 )
Take a train Early morning train to Lisbon(06:22am to 10:00am)
If you’re dreaming about your next trip to Europe, come and discover Lisbon, a historical city full of stories to tell, where the sun shines 290 days a year and the temperature rarely drops below 15oC. A city where you feel safe wandering around day or night, where the cuisine is dedicated to creating over a thousand ways to cook the beloved bacalhau (salted cod), and where you’ll find hotels and restaurants to suit every taste, budget and requirement. Discover Lisbon, a city full of authenticity where old customs and ancient history intermix with cultural entertainment and hi-tech innovation. Lisbon is ageless, but it loves company, as you’ll find out if you meet someone and ask them to explain, with lots of gestures and repetition, where the best place is to listen to Fado. After all, Lisbon is famous for its hospitality and the family-like way it welcomes visitors.
Elevador da Glória
The “lifts or elevators” in Lisbon are basically funiculars that help locals and tourist climb the steep and long slopes that are so characteristic in Lisbon.
The capital of Portugal has three funiculars, all of which were designed by the Portuguese engineer Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard. He is also responsible for the design of the Santa Justa Lift.
The three lifts are called: Elevador do Lavra, Elevador da Glória and Elevador da Bica.
Elevador da Glória
The best known and most popular of the three cable cars is the Elevador da Glória. It connects Restauradores Square with Rua San Pedro de Alcántara in Bairro Alto.
At the top part of the Funicular, in Bairro Alto, you’ll enjoy some magnificent views over Lisbon from San Pedro de Alcántara viewpoint. The best in the city in our opinion. The Elevador da Glória was opened to the public on 24 October 1885.
what is a miradouro?
Easy. It’s a lookout. A viewpoint. A designated spot on top of a hill that has an incredible view. And if you’re in Lisbon, you definitely don’t want to miss them. Especially since they’re free.
Miradouro de Santa Luzia
This romantic terrace by the church of Santa Luzia introduces visitors to Alfama with a sweeping view over its houses, churches, and the Tagus River. On an outside wall of the church are two tile panels, one of Comercio Square before the earthquake, and another showing Christians attacking St. George’s Castle in 1147. The cafe on the terrace is a good place for a drink before climbing to the castle nearby.
Belem Tower
Together with the Jeronimos Monastery, the Belem Tower is one of the most symbolic edifices of Lisbon. It too is an exquisite materialization of the superb Manuelin style (with discrete elements characteristic of sundry other architectural styles), and it too is part of the UNESCO World Heritage of the city (declared as such in 1983). The tower is located, just as the name suggests, in the Belem district, and it is also known as the Tower or Castle of Saint Vincent (Castelo de Sao Vicente de Belem).
The history of the tower is substantially related to the age of the great geographical discoveries. It was built in the 16th century (between 1514 and 1520), by order of King Manuel I, who decided to implement the plans of his predecessor, King Joao II, in order to reinforce the defense system on the shores of the Tagus River. The chief architect was Francisco de Arruda, who inserted visible Moorish elements in the overall structural and decorative patrimony of the tower.
São Jorge Castle
São Jorge Castle (Castelo de São Jorge) is one of Lisbon’s most emblematic landmarks. The silhouette of the Castle stands out both by day and when illuminated at night, located on the summit of São Jorge hill, the highest in Lisbon. The hillside also houses two of the city’s neighbourhoods called Alfama and Castelo.
A small fortress was built by the Visigoths during the fifth century. It was modified and enlarged by the Moors in the mid-eleventh century and during the reign of Afonso I of Portugal (1109 – 1185), it was altered and in later years transformed into a Royal Palace. Finally, it was completely restored in 1938.
The Castle reached its maximum splendour during the thirteenth century and lasted until the sixteenth century when it was occupied by both the Kings of Portugal and the Bishop.
Praça do Comércio
Praça do Comércio, Commerce Square in English, is Lisbon’s main square. It was built on the site where the old Royal Palace used to exist before it was destroyed by the earthquake of 1755.
The southern end of the plaza is open and looks out onto the Tagus River. The other three sides have yellow-coloured buildings with arcades all along the façade. When the square was first built, the commercial ships would unload their goods directly onto this square, as it was considered the “door” to Lisbon.
On the river bank, near the square, is the Cais de Sodré ferry terminal from which several ferries depart down the Tagus River.
The Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge is one of Lisbon’s most notable landmarks as it spans the River Tagus at the narrowest point. This massive bridge closely resembles that of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the date name remembers the Portuguese Carnation Revolution of 25 April 1974. The suspension bridge connects Lisbon, on the north bank, with the commuter districts of Alameda on the south bank. The bridge is a distinctive landmark of Lisbon and crossing the Ponte 25 de Abril bridge makes for a fantastic entrance to Lisbon.
Sintra: (Day 6 & 7)
Sintra is a picturesque Portuguese town that is set amidst the pine-covered hills of the Serra de Sintra. This hilly and slightly cooler climate enticed the nobility and elite of Portugal, who constructed exquisite palaces, extravagant mansions and decorative gardens.
Sintra is situated within the beautiful natural scenery of the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais. This national park incorporates the lush forests hills of Sintra and leads down to the rugged and dramatic coastline, 12km to the west. The hills of Sintra are the setting for many activities of the region, include scenic hiking trails, challenging cycle routes and some of the best rock climbing in Portugal.
The variety of fascinating historic buildings and beautiful scenery has established Sintra as a fantastic tourist destination, and has since become the most popular day trip from Lisbon.
Pena National Palace
This hilltop palace sits so high it can be seen from nearby Lisbon, and is the top attraction in Sintra. With its domed golden tower and red brick chapel steeple, the complex is extremely beautiful, and considered to be one of the most impressive examples of 19th century Romanticism in Europe. One of the most striking things about this palace is the eclectic combination of architectural styles, which includes neo-gothic, neo-moorish, neo-manueline and neo-renaissance. A wild and diverse forest with large century-old trees from around the world surrounds the large stone pinnacle where the palace sits.
Quinta da Regaleira
Located near the historic center of Sintra, Portugal lies the Quinta da Regaleira- a spectacular estate that sits in a World Heritage protected landscape. While thousands of tourists flock to the castle every year to admire the unique architecture of the Quinta de Regaleira that combines Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance features, one of its most fascinating features is located beneath the ground – a pair of wells spiraling deep within the earth. The wells were never used, nor intended for water collection. Instead, these mysterious underground towers were used for secretive initiation rites.
The pair of wells, known as the ‘Initiation Wells’ or ‘Inverted Towers’, consist of ‘winding stair’ architecture, which carries symbolic meaning including the death/rebirth allegory common to many hermetic traditions.
One of the wells contains nine platforms, which are said to be “reminiscent of the Divine Comedy by Dante and the nine circles of Hell, the nine sections of Purgatory and the nine skies which constitute Paradise.” A smaller well, called the “Unfinished Well,” contains a set of straight staircases, connecting the ring-shaped floors to one another. It is believed that the spacing of the landings, as well as the number of steps in between were dictated by Masonic principles.
At the bottom of the well there is a compass over a Knights Templar cross, which is said to have been Monteiro’s herald and a sign of his Rosicrucianism. Very little is known about how the wells were used and what exactly went on there, though it is clear to see that great effort went into their planning and construction.
Convent of the Capuchos
This small convent and its residences were originally created in the sixteenth century to house 12 monks, who lived in incredibly cramped conditions, their tiny cells having low, narrow doors. It was acquired by the state in the twentieth century and opened to the public. The site includes a farmhouse, courtyard, hall of retreat and hall of penitence, among other buildings. It was designed to fit perfectly into the natural environment of large granite boulders along the edge of the Sintra Mountains. Hidden in the woods, it is located outside of the city even today, due to the fact that it was designed as a reclusive retreat for solitude and prayer for reclusive clergy.
Castle of the Moors
Winding over two ridges of the Serra de (Mountain of) Sintra, the Castle dates back to the early days of the Moorish occupation of the Peninsula, the 8th century.
Around 1100, while Portugal was still under Moorish domination, the castle changed hands several time as the Christian Kings during the Crusades , nor the Arabs Emirs could keep the position a long time.
In 1108, the Norwegian King Sigurd the Crusader conquered the Castle while on his way to Jerusalem.
It is only in 1147, after various attempts that the Castle was definitely taken by the first King of Portugal, Afonso I (1109-1185).
Later on the castle lost its strategic importance as, peace being restored, there was no more need to protect the population inside its walls and was therefore abandoned.It was acquired, as well as the Pena Palace, in 1838 by Ferdinand Saxe Coburg-Gotha (1816-1885), King Consort of Queen Maria II .
He restored the medieval ruin and afforested the surrounding areas, giving it a new dignity.
The latest restoration happened in 1940 for the ceremonies celebrating the foundation of Portugal.

Russia: Mystery Inside An Enigma

The largest country in the world, Russia offers a broad array of travel experiences, from treks up the slopes of glacier-capped mountains to strolls along the shoreline of Earth’s oldest lake. Historical sites and cultural activities in the country’s great cities abound as well. Whether you’re exploring the grounds of Moscow’s Kremlin or wandering through the steppes of Mongolia, a visit to Russia is an adventure not soon forgotten.

Day 1-3 : Moscow
Arrive in Moscow
Arriving on a Thursday puts you in Moscow over a weekend, when traffic is lighter, hotels are cheaper, and yet everything you’ll want to visit will be open. Given how vast distances are in Moscow,

Moscow, on the Moskva River in western Russia, is the nation’s cosmopolitan capital. In its historic core is the Kremlin, a complex that’s home to the president and tsarist treasures in the Armoury. Outside its walls is Red Square, Russia’s symbolic center. It’s home to Lenin’s Mausoleum, the State Historical Museum’s comprehensive collection and St. Basil’s Cathedral, known for its colorful, onion-shaped domes. vladivostok,moscow city,russia tour,moscow weather,moscow city,make my trip,tour packages russia, russia travel package, russia travel guide, russia travel blog, russia travel cost, russia travel video, russia travelogue, russia travel visa, russia travel places

Red Square

Red Square is a city square in Moscow, Russia. It separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and now the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitai-gorod.

Lenin Mausoleum

Lenin’s Mausoleum, also known as Lenin’s Tomb, situated in Red Square in the centre of Moscow, is a mausoleum that currently serves as the resting place of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. His preserved body has been on public display there since shortly after his death in 1924, with rare exceptions in wartime.

St. Basil Cathedral

St. Basil’s Cathedral is Moscow’s most famous artistic work of architecture. Also called “Pokrovsky Cathedral” or “The Cathedral of Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat”, it is the most recognizable Russian building. This Cathedral is to the Russians what the Eiffel Tower is to the French, an honorable symbol of their past, present, and future.

Driving A Tank Activity (Optional)

Stop wasting your time in a stuffy office. Go for a tank driving and shooting tour! Fight your enemies with the most powerful Russian and Soviet weapons. You can select from a variety of the legendary military vehicles (T-62, T-80, BMP-1, BRDM and BTR-80). Put on a military camouflage and shoot a tank gun or any of more than 10 available firearms. A selfie with a Kalashnikov AK-47? It’s a piece of cake! A traditional Russian military meal with buckwheat will taste delicious after the battle. No matter who you are – a fearless strong man or a graceful girl, the power of these machines will astonish you. If you enjoyed playing toy soldiers in your childhood, if you are a fearless Amazon in your heart – it’s time for a real adventure!

Tour description
1. Pick-up, transfer from the hotel to the military ground (in a 1.5-2 hr drive from the city center).
2. All the visitors are offered to put on military-field uniform: a jacket, trousers, and a tank helmet.

The Kremlin Museum

The Moscow Kremlin State Historical and Cultural Museum and Heritage Site was formed in 1991 on the basis of State Museums of the Moscow Kremlin. It is located in the center of Moscow, on the territory of the Moscow Kremlin. The Moscow Kremlin is one of the largest architectural ensembles of the world, including monuments built over the time from late XV to XX centuries. Historically the Moscow Kremlin has been the residence of power and in our days it is the residence of the Russian President. It is a unique museum complex including cathedrals-museums: the Assumption Cathedral, the Archangel Cathedral, the Annunciation Cathedral, the Church of the Deposition of the Robe of the Holy Virgin, the Palace of Patriarch of the XVII century with the Church of the Twelve Apostles, the bell tower of Ivan the Great with the belfry and the State Armory Chamber – the treasury. A special exposition located in the basement of the Annunciation Cathedral displays the materials on the archaeology of the Kremlin.

Church Of Ascenion

The earliest extant structure in town is the exceptional Ascension church (1532), built in white stone to commemorate the long-awaited birth of an heir to the throne, the future Ivan the Terrible. Being the first stone church of tent-like variety, the uncanonical “White Column” (as it is sometimes referred to) marked a stunning rupture with the Byzantine tradition.

Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines

This is probably the geekiest museum you can find in Moscow, and if you have very little knowledge of Soviet arcade games (which let’s face it why would you know) you will feel like the nerdiest guy on the block when you pay up for your Soviet era coins to drop into these aging machines. If you remember wasting some time playing on odd computers or shooting galleries as a child you will get an eye-opener when you see how Soviet kids were doing similar things on albeit very different machines. Classics include Morskoi Boi (a very simple battleships press the button and sink the boat game), car racing, logic games, Soviet table football and an ingenious air-basketball game amongst others. Everything looks and feels a bit broken down, but is full of charm and offers a refreshing view of life during the end of communism.

Christ the Savior Cathedral

This is what a new Russian Orthodox church ought to look like. It is so immense you’ll be wondering how many blocks of dynamite the Soviets needed to get rid of the thing the first time around. That was in 1931. This newly restored example came into being from 1994 until 2000 and is a shiny beacon for the Russian Orthodox Church at home and a close replica of the original 19th Century cathedral built in honour of the victory over Napoleon. The sprawling cathedral houses a museum on the history of the site where you can see pictures of the giant swimming pool the Soviets built here and the huge Lenin topped skyscraper they had originally planned for. During excursions (minimum 10 people) you can see the cathedral, museum and the view from the colonnade. As it is a working place of worship women are expected to cover their heads and everyone should dress conservatively.

Bunker-42
One of the most famous museum among tourists in Moscow. It is the huge military and historical museum and the cultural entertainment complex created on one secret object of the USSR. Also there all this is located at a depth of 65 meters, representing, really, something improbable.The atmosphere of the real bunker allows to experience that thin side which separated the world from the beginning of nuclear war. There are also equipped conference halls, a restaurant, Cold War Museum and a cinema hall.

Famous Street of Moscow
Old Arbat Street

Originally a suburb where traders from the East would arrive with their caravans, in the 18th Century the Arbat became popular with Moscow’s intelligentsia and artistic community, who enjoyed frequenting the many cafes and taking strolls along the area’s mansion-lined boulevards. Pushkin himself lived here with his wife in house number 53 (the building has since been turned into a museum dedicated to the poet) and Tolstoy resided on the adjoining Kaloshin Lane. In fact Count Fyodor was said to have modelled his famous character Anna Karenina on Maria Gartung – Pushkin’s oldest daughter, who also lived nearby.

New Arbat Street
New Arbat was initially included in the Moscow construction development plan in 1935. The idea was to build a road connecting Kremlin and the famous Rublevka area where most of the communist party elite had their country side residencies. They simply needed a modern highway that they could use to travel between Kremlin and their dachas. The original name of the street was Kalinin Prospekt, named after one of the revolution leaders Mikhail Kalinin. The name was changed to Noviy Arbat during the post-soviet period in 1994.

Tverskaya Street

Tverskaya is the main street of Moscow, it starts from the Kremlin and goes north through all Moscow to change into Leningradskoe shosse, which leads to Tver and after 700 km to St. Petersburg. Tverskaya street is a wide central avenue bustling with life, with large buildings on the sides where there are various shops, clubs, cafes, and restaurants inside. However, the life around Tverskaya (small streets, boulevards around) is quite calm, and it’s one of the nicest areas to walk around or to go out in Moscow. vladivostok,moscow city,russia tour,moscow weather,moscow city,make my trip,tour packages russia, russia travel package, russia travel guide, russia travel blog, russia travel cost, russia travel video, russia travelogue, russia travel visa, russia travel places

What To Eat :
Borscht

Borscht is the most well-known Russian dish in the world. Thanks to its bright red color, this soup has become one of symbols of Russia on a level with Matryoshka dolls and AK-47 assault rifle. There are many recipes of borscht, and every region of Russia and Ukraine is proud of its own list of ingredients and preparation technology. During your travel to Moscow, you will find two most popular types of this soup – Ukrainian (“Ukrainsky”) and Moscow (“Moskovsky”). Other sorts of borscht are not widespread in Moscow restaurants and supermarkets, and you will have almost no chances to find them.

Russian Salad

Olivier salad, also known as Russian Salad, was originally invented by Lucien Olivier for the Hermitage restaurant in Moscow in the 1860’s; it was then adapted by Ivan Ivanov, who later sold the recipe for publication. Over the years, it gained in popularity not only in Russia, but throughout the rest of the Soviet Union and Europe.

Shashlik

Shashlik in its most basic form is pieces of meat grilled on a skewer over coals. The “classic” shashlik, Granny says, should be made with mutton. That’s how it’s often made in the Caucasus, where the dish originated, and where there’s lots of sheep. In Moscow, however, there is less mutton, and Russians became more creative with their shashlik. Here it’s made with chicken, pork and fish, the meat interspersed with pieces of onion, peppers or tomatoes. Everyone developed his own marinade (ketchup and garlic usually factor heavily). From the beginning, shashliking was a competitive sport.

Russian pancake (Blini)
These thin, crepe-like pancakes have been consumed in Russia for centuries. Today they are the most popular type of Russian street food, and the most popular place to buy them is the “Teremok” chain. The staff at these cafes dress in old-style Russian costumes and address their customers as “sudar” and “sudarynya” – the old Russian form of “sir” and “madam.” Solid round blini are cooked on a griddle while you wait and can be had with fillings ranging from ham, cheese or red caviar to honey, jam or sweetened condensed milk. Teremok is even expanding its empire abroad – you can find an outlet in Midtown Manhattan!

Where To Party

Entry is mostly free or minimal (less than 200 RUB) and drinks aren’t expensive when compared to any metro city in India. The sex ratio is almost 1:10 thats right for every guy there are 10 girls! Da Da Ding! Not to mention the party goes on till 6:00 AM!
Don’t even try getting sloshed as the bouncers are very strict and will not hesitate before picking you up and throwing you out, LITERALLY!
Some of the best clubs include City Space Bar, O2 Lounge, Bar Gipsy, Kot Shredingera, Night Club Icon.

Day 4 & 5

The capital of the Republic of Tatarstan, a semi-autonomous region, it’s known for the centuries-old Kazan Kremlin, a fortified citadel containing museums and sacred sites. Kremlin landmarks include the tiered Tower of Soyembika, the blue-and-gold domed Annunciation Cathedral and the vast, colorful Kul Sharif Mosque.Kazan (meaning a cooking pot in Tatar) is the Istanbul of the Volga, a place where Europe and Asia curiously inspect each other from the tops of church belfries and minarets.

Day 6,7,8
KAZAN TO ST. PETERSBURG:
St. Petersburg is a Russian port city on the Baltic Sea. It was the imperial capital for 2 centuries, having been founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, subject of the city’s iconic “Bronze Horseman” statue. It remains Russia’s cultural center, with venues such as the Mariinsky Theatre hosting opera and ballet, and the State Russian Museum showcasing Russian art, from Orthodox icon paintings to Kandinsky works.

PS:direct flight at 3:00 AM from Rossiya Airlines / Aeroflot.

The Hermitage Museum

The State Hermitage Museum is a museum of art and culture in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The second-largest art museum in the world, it was founded in 1764 when Empress Catherine the Great acquired an impressive collection of paintings from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky.

Russian Museum

Rivaling the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow as the world’s finest collection of Russian art, the State Russian Museum has an illustrious history that began when the fiercely nationalist Tsar Alexander III became the first Russian ruler to make a significant collection of art by Russian artists. His son, Nicholas II, decided to open a museum in his father’s honour and, in 1895, bought the Mikhailovskiy Palace to house the collection. Originally called the Alexandrovskiy Museum, it was opened to the public in 1898.

Peter and Paul Fortress

The first structure to be built in St. Petersburg, and thus the birthplace of the city, it never served its intended defensive function. Instead it has had a rich, hugely varied, and sometimes sinister history as a military base, a home of government departments, the burial ground of the Russian Imperial family, the site of groundbreaking scientific experiments, and a forbidding jail that held some of Russia’s most prominent political prisoners.

The bridges on the Neva
Nevsky is crossed by three canals which are an integral part of St. Petersburg’s beauty. There are a great number of rivers and canals in the city – it is a city “on water”. That is why it is often referred to as “the Northern Venice” or “the Northern Amsterdam”. There is no pleasure like taking a wonderful boat trip along rivers and canals of our “bridge city”.

Museum of Artillery, Combat Engineers, and Signal Troops

The official date of its foundation is August 29, 1703, when by Peter the Great’s decree a special Zeughaus (Ger. — Military storehouse for armaments, uniforms, equipment, etc.) was built on the territory of the St. Petersburg (Peter-and-Paul) fortress for the purpose of storing and preserving old guns and cannons. The Military-Historical Museum of Engineer and Signal Corps is now one of the most significant military-historical museums in the world having precious collections of artillery armaments and ammunition, rifles and cold steels, military-engineering equipment, signal means, combat banners, military uniforms, battle artworks, various insignia, as well as archival documents giving evidences of Russian artillery development history and feats of arms. The Museum holds impressive collections of paintings, drawings and sculptures. Amongst exhibits are works of art reflecting Russia’s heroic past, portraits of Emperors, Grand Dukes, famed commanders, plus soldiers and officers who distinguished themselves in military operations.

Alexander Nevskiy Monastery

The monastery was founded in July 1710 – seven years after the foundation of Petersburg – by Peter the Great near to the spot where contemporary Swedish maps showed the Swedish fort Landskrona had stood. (This was during the Northern War between Russian and Sweden, so it was a symbolically important location – especially as it had been sacked in 1301 by an army from Novgorod under Prince Andrei, son of legendary Russian leader Alexander Nevsky, during a previous war!) In 1712, the first church was built, in wood, on the site of the future monastery, and consecrated in Peter’s presence on March 25, 1713. The monastery began working shortly afterward.

Church of the Saviour on Spilled Blood

The area that has been known as the Alexander Nevsky Monastery since 1797 had its beginnings in 1710, just a few short years after the city of St. Petersburg was founded. It was located at the former site of the Swedish Fort Landskrova, a significant location during the Northern War between Russia and Sweden. Peter the Great chose to name the monastery after Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky, who defeated the Swedes in a 1240 battle at the site.
The first church, a small wooden structure, was built in 1712, but a new church, designed by Italian architect Domenico Trezzini, was added in 1724. It was this building, in particular, that was named for Nevsky, who was considered a saint in the Russian Orthodox Church. His remains were moved here from a church in Vladimir and for many decades, the day they arrived was celebrated as a holiday.

Our-Lady-of-Kazan Cathedral

Whilst taking a stroll along Nevsky Prospekt you cannot fail to notice the impressive Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan. Kazan Cathedral, constructed between 1801 and 1811 by the architect Andrei Voronikhin, was built to an enormous scale and boasts an impressive stone colonnade, encircling a small garden and central fountain. The cathedral was inspired by the Basilica of St. Peter’s in Rome and was intended to be the country’s main Orthodox Church. After the war of 1812 (during which Napoleon was defeated) the church became a monument to Russian victory. Captured enemy banners were put in the cathedral and the famous Russian Field Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov, who won the most important campaign of 1812, was buried inside the church.

Saint Isaac’s Cathedral

The church itself is an architectural marvel. Built by the French-born architect Auguste Montferrand to be the main church of the Russian Empire, the cathedral was under construction for 40 years (1818-1858), and was decorated in the most elaborate way possible. When you enter the cathedral you pass through one of the porticos – note that the columns are made of single pieces of red granite and weight 80 tons (about 177,770 pounds) each. Inside the church many of the icons were created using moaic techniques and the iconostasis (the icon wall that separates the altar from the rest of the church) is decorated with 8 malachite and 2 lapis lazuli columns. The cathedral, which can accommodate 14,000 worshipers, now serves as a museum and services are held only on significant ecclesiastical holidays.

Peter the Great’s Cabin

The first residential building to be built in the newly founded city of St. Petersburg was a wooden house or cabin, intended for Tsar Peter himself. The cabin is very small – only 60 sq. meters in area and is a strange combination of a traditional Russian house – izba – and a Dutch home with large and elaborate windows and high roof, covered with wooden tiles. Tsar Peter lived in this house between 1703 and 1708 and the living room, bedroom and study, still filled with Peter’s original belongings, still bear the mark of his presence. Peter the Great wanted all the houses of his new city to be built of stone, the way it was done in Europe. But he could not afford a stone house at the time, so he ordered the walls to be painted as if the house was made of bricks.

Narva Triumphal Arch

The Narva Triumphal Arch was erected in the vast Narva Square, Saint Petersburg, in 1814 to commemorate the Russian victory over Napoleon. The wooden structure was constructed on the Narva highway with the purpose of greeting the soldiers who were returning from abroad after their victory over Napoleon.

Loft Project ETAGI

A pioneer in loft design and one of the largest exhibition spaces in St. Petersburg, Etagi has been occupying the former Smolninsky Bread Factory since 2007. This fantastic conversion just ten minutes’ walk from Moskovsky Railway Station has plenty to keep visitors interested, including many of the original factory fittings seamlessly merged with the thoroughly contemporary design. Many of the interior elements of the old factory were preserved, such as the concrete pillars, a drilling machine and bread baking equipment.Apart from being an exhibition center for the arts, it is also a cultural center that holds the widest range of events, from film festivals to kid’s workshops and from rooftop parties to pet adoption fairs. It’s also home to the city’s first ever “container city”- rows of containers that are now used for street food cafés, shops and more.

Opera and Ballet

The Hermitage Theater, which used to be imperial theatre during more than a century, is now proud to welcome guests all over the world.During all these years we are working to conserve rich traditions of the world famous classic Russian ballet. Ballet, without any doubt, is not just beautiful show, it is a form of art, which can be understood by everybody, no matter where from you are and which language do you speak. It is not surprising that we are housed in one of the buildings of the Hermitage – one of the most famous art museums in the whole world.

Canal tours

You will have an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the city and its history, to see St. Petersburg from an unusual perspective – from the water, and to feel the beauty and grandeur of palaces, granite embankments and bridges. Throughout the trip on the boat, you will see the most beautiful sights of the city: the Peter and Paul Fortress, Strelka of Vasilyevsky Island, Winter Palace, Marble Palace, Summer Garden, Mikhailovsky Castle, Saint Isaac’s Cathedral, Kunstkamera and many other attractions.

WHERE TO PARTY:
St. Petersburg has umpteen number of places to party but the must-visit places are:

Coyote Ugly
Underground: An amazing ex USSR bomb shelter
Morrison: Open till 6:00 AM, rooftop and cocktails under 100 RUB
Chroniki: One of the best in STP

LAST DAY In St. Petersburg/ Moscow
If your return flight was from Moscow then take the Sapsan (bullet train) that covers 850 KM in under 4 hours and the service is world-class.
You can spend your last day relaxing and of course souvenir shopping, head to Izmailovsky Market for the best Russian souvenirs ranging from dolls to key chains and even antiques at the best prices. Do not go shopping anywhere else in Russia and this is by far the cheapest place.

Australia Tour :Autumn
2020-06-01 08:00 - 2020-06-12 17:00 | Australia
A U S T R A L I A

Australia, not a country but a continent itself: Australia is the 6th largest country in the world, occupying a territory of 7 692 024 sq. km, which is more than the size of ALL European Union countries. Yet it has one of the lowest population densities in the world of only 3.1 people/km. Australia is on a lot of people’s shortlist of places to go but it is huge and can be hard to know where to begin.
You aren’t going to see everything in a single trip to Australia, but you can see a lot of the highlights.
This 1500+ km road journey from Sydney to Melbourne (including Great Ocean Road) will blow your mind with its pristine beaches and unique coastline.

Itinerary brief: (01-June-12-June)
Day 1: Sydney
Day 2: Hyams Beach
Day 3 & 4: Mount Kosciuszko & Lakes
Day 5:Mount Oberon
Day 6:Phillip Island

Day 8:Great Ocean Road
Day 9:Great Ocean Road
Day 10:Melbourne
Day 11:Melbourne

Day 1: Sydney

Sydney is the first stop on many Australian itineraries, and for good reason. It’s an inviting blend of the exhilarating and easygoing. You can find excitement in the city, but drive just a few kilometres and you’ll hit the golden sand of famous beaches like Bondi and Manly. Plus, with endless nature at its doorstep, Sydney is the starting point for day trips serving up the fresh air, unique flavours and locals who know a thing or two about living life to the fullest.

Sydney Tower

The construction of Sydney Tower is an interesting tale of engineering and quality construction. Pre-made individual barrel units formed the shaft of the tower and the four levels of the turret structure were constructed at the base of the shaft and raised to the top as work progressed.
The shaft supporting the turret is made up of 46 barrels units, each weighing 27 tonnes. These were brought on to the site in seven pieces and welded together. Once the first three sections were in place, a gantry crane was erected to hoist the remaining 43 barrel units.Each barrel unit was completed with lift rails, stairwells and hydraulic risers before hoisting. The shaft contains two sets of fire stairs, fire, electrical and plumbing ducts in one half and the lift shafts in the remainder. This is one of the most important monuments in Sydney.

Sydney Harbour
Port Jackson, also called Sydney Harbour, inlet of the Pacific, 12 miles (19 km) long with a total area of 21 square miles (55 square km), which is one of the world’s finest natural harbours and the principal port of New South Wales, Australia.

Opera House

The Sydney Opera House in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, is one of the most distinctive and famous 20th-century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. … The Opera House provides 45,000 square metres (11 acres) of usable office space out of 18,000 square metres (4.5 acres) of land.

Bondi Beach

The sweeping white-sand crescent of Bondi is one of Australia’s most iconic beaches. Reliable waves draw surfers while, nearby, hardy locals swim in the Icebergs ocean pool year-round. Trendy, health-conscious Sydneysiders head to laid-back cafes around Hall Street, while hip backpackers frequent the area’s casual pubs. Walkers and joggers use the clifftop Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk, with its dramatic scenery.

Day 2: Hyams Beach

Day 6: Phillip Island

Phillip Island, a popular day trip from Melbourne, lies just off Australia’s southern coast. At Summerland Beach, spectators gather daily at sunset to watch the Penguin Parade, when Little penguins come ashore in groups. The Nobbies outcrop is the viewing site for Seal Rocks, home to a large colony of Australian fur seals. The Phillip Island Circuit is a well-known track for motorcycle and car racing.

One of the area’s most popular events, the Penguin Parade allows visitors to catch a glimpse of the island’s native little penguins as they come back ashore after a day of fishing. Head to Summerland Beach for 180-degree viewing of the parade on their tiered seating.

Day 7,8 & 9: Great Ocean Road

Victoria’s dramatic south-west coastline covers an incredible range of scenery. See the world-famous waves at Bells Beach or laze on the sand at Anglesea. Visit the charming old fishing village of Port Fairy and get among the buzzing arts community in Lorne. Of course, you can’t miss the 12 Apostles. These craggy limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean are a must-see. Join a scenic flight with 12 Apostles Helicopters to see the Bay of Islands, London Bridge or the entire Shipwreck Coast all the way to Australia’s oldest lighthouse at Cape Otway.
We will be exploring each and every beach on this wonderful road for 3 days.
