Upon our continuous search for a quiet place to walk and breathe the fresh air we cam upon Shubie Park, an urban park that’s part of the abandoned Shubenacadie Canal (official site) which is still passing through the park. Shubie park is placed a few kilometres from Downtown Halifax, in the heart of Dartmouth, Nova [...]
If you even come to Nova Scotia for travel purposes don’t expect modernism. People here are in touch with the nature and almost all things you can visit and see here have something to do with the environment. Parks, lakes, beaches, forests and gardens are on your see list if you travel to Nova Scotia. [...]
I guess you already know that the two things who influence the most the total cost of a travel trip are airplane fares and accommodation. Some cities are known for very high accommodation prices, so there isn’t much you can do about that (except not going there). Now regarding air travel, as a rule, the bigger [...]
Our first winter in Halifax. It’s time to see how we’ll resist the Canadian winter. With a warmer than usual December (according to locals) we are now passing through the first true winter months, with abundant snow falls and stormy weather. And so our journey through the streets of Halifax started, in 10 inch deep snow, [...]
I have to admit that till last year I wasn’t a fan of visiting museums, but after the London trip, where I’ve visited some of the best museum in the world I’ve kind of got the taste for them, so here I am in January in Halifax, visiting Pier 21, also called Canada’s Immigration Museum. [...]
Travel is not always about visiting a city swarming with tourists seeking the same attractions as you are. Sometimes you just want to relax and enjoy a quiet stay, possibly with great surroundings to explore. One such place is Stone Garden Chalets, a small group of log cabins you can rent individually. The nearest city [...]
If you happen to find yourself in Vienna, Austria, one of the must see places is the Tiergarten Schönbrunn (the Zoo), the oldest Zoo in the world, voted the best European Zoo in 2010, the year we’ve visited it. What makes this Zoo so special is the location, as it’s found inside the Schönbrunn imperial palace [...]
I haven’t visited as many countries as I would like to, but there are a few. One of my favourites is Austria. Why Austria? First of all, it impressed me with its small villages which are very clean, well organized and quiet. Every house there had flowers at the windows and the grass was perfectly cut [...]
Like many capital cities in the world, the center of Vienna is packed with old building and street, a lot of tourist attractions, fine restaurants, places to drink a coffee (people from Vienna love their coffee) and eat some fine sweets. Exactly in the city center, in the middle of Stephansplatz (Stephan’s Square), lies Stephansdom [...]
There are many museums in the world, some gigantic, some small and cozy (if you can say that about a museum), some disguised as gardens or imperial castles, but none of them is as abstract as Haus Der Musik (House of Music) in Vienna. It’s one of the strangest museums I’ve been into, but intriguing [...]
Our trip to Bratislava wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to the old city center, where old architecture (kept perfectly preserved) meets small plazas, gift shops, unnaturally blue water fountains, strange metallic statues and a lot of places to drink a good Slovak beer. I’m telling your, don’t miss on the amazingly tasking beer [...]
