Each of us has these spots that just make us laugh and feel good areas to bring a rush of emotions. One could laugh if you think about them on the street and you can even ask where the person next to you. In the following paragraphs, I will tell you everything to me.
Now now, let your thoughts go on this way, I am about this individual and specific places in Europe that speak a special place in your heart. These are the places that you always come back, enjoy your favorite wine or rolled up like a tidal wave on the small plots on earth where you feel comfortable, relaxed and away from home, no matter how much your mortgage is paid . I can not say exactly why these places are precious to me. All naturally awaken memories of good times, or strong emotions, but some seem so many people think it makes me want to do just something innate in the area.
1. Piazza San Marco, Venice, Italy:
St. Mark’s Square in, if not referred to figuratively as the center of Venice. With Mark’s Basilica, on the one hand and the campanile (bell tower iconic) rises high as a symbol of Venice at the Piazza impresses. Without the noise of cars that fill most Italian cities, but still expensive outdoor seating for cafes coffee Hawk expensive for tourists, the buzz of conversation provides a relaxed atmosphere.
During the day, fills the middle of this huge room with pigeons and tourists. The similarity between the two is enough to put a smile on your face. The two chase each other, one feeding a cracker crumbs with other nourishing its counterpart in a game (and you can not help thinking, illness). In the early days when I walk through the city, as any visitor to Venice. Getting lost and enjoy with just a concern, finding a bottle of wine. I personally am not a wine connoisseur. If you are an attractive photo on the front, it is red and the cost I’m glad. But around Venice, the bottle is that I end up with all I ever intended.
In the twilight begins to fall, I have my way to the stairs surrounded the place. running under a chair in front of the basilica is one of the three flights to the length according to the Museo Correr (or the Napoleonic wing of the Procuratie) I open my wine. People look over the next two hours at this location at this time of day is always one of the best moments of my life. The sun slowly that’s a slight chill in the almost closed space, people drift through, arm in arm, violins compete in low voices to large crowds to their employer’s cafeteria and spend all the time are more aware than ever that you are in Europe achieved your dream. As the glow of the lights around the Piazza brighten I know that the time has come to my wine and go slowly and paid back to my bed for the night, taste and feel whole again.
2. The collegiate church steps, Tubingen Germany:
That’s one of those places that you just do not end up in so many other major cities in Europe. My personal involvement with this city, was that I spent, that’s probably the best year of my life is to experience while studying abroad. The memories I have certainly influenced my decision to this place on my list, but the simple installation and maintenance-free atmosphere, rather than encourage me to share.
In the center of Tübingen, a university town south of Stuttgart, is the church. In the Gothic style, built in 1470, this church was one of the first to make the conversion to Christianity. The result is a fascinating interplay of religion and architecture. At the base there are long series of steps and a large round well, or you are decorated with local flowers or sealed to prevent damage in winter. Narrow cobbled streets lead away and in front of the church and a local tour guides in the half-timbered houses, the house used book stores, bakeries, and an assortment of other goodies. In the building directly right of the fountain is a window and climbs out the window the smell of Turkish Doner Kebab and swarma.
begins in the warmer months and the days when snow fall along these steps, I along with friends from many different countries. Laying a foundation of kebabs in our stomachs, we would move to buy bottles of beer with the delicious smell of window shopping. € 1.80 a bottle with a ten-cent refundable (deposit) with the return of the bottle, the situation is both cheap and convenient. Local businesses would be would be for the evening and the parents pushing their children in their strollers nestled close to their destination. Students would begin to move about the city, looking for a good conversation and we could all see, we know our destination and found good conversation.
Sometimes hang for hours, would eventually cool off at night and discussed each house turn his head, still thinking about the problems between the intelligent students on the steps of the church.
3. The hills Kinskeho Zahrada, Prague, Czech Republic
South of the Prague castle is a large park, which is largely on a hill. Paths crisscross the green grass (in summer) and lead passengers from Peta (TM) Tower, the Eiffel Tower for structure. When the sun is shining and a cool breeze in the air can be a noon and a picnic Karmelitska below (located on the left side of the continuation west of the crossing Charles Bridge) to take. When Helichova right. At the end of Helichova you can start your walk up the hill. If worst comes to worst and you get only in the direction of the tower lost.
On your way you will joggers and other residents enjoy a park that many tourists never get the chance it deserves. Like starting a nice escape from the bustle of the city, the chirping birds and rustling trees Prague Czech hear. Before long and without much effort, you get a nice view over the city, if you start to rise above the rooftops of the neighborhood. If the mood you astray track meet and find a nice area in the bright green grass and lie staring at the sky.
A beautiful day I find something in Prague, which is more relaxed than is blowing on the hill with a nice breeze on the grass and the sun shines brightly colored roofs of the Adobe below. With a heat in the air and the freshness of the green around me I love to sit and watch the clouds roll view. Try to determine what each is similar to how a game seems to me particularly in my mind of any concerns I have in the world and for a while, I can slip the stress can distract travel market.
4. The waves break in Cinque Terre, Monterosso, Italy:
More and more popular through the years Cinque Terre, the development will be held in Italy. composition consisting of five small fishing villages on the train and track every city has a special charm. Whether for lounging on the beach, seafood or a walk in the direction of the nearest town when passing through the grapevine that the local wine, this place is nice. You need to exploding prices for accommodation to see, however. The locals know you invade their city and they will pay.
The first city on the west coast is Monterosso. Here are probably the best and largest of the villages and beaches, as I reported in a previous article, the best seafood pasta I ever had. Walking the city during the day is a joy, as the locals a stroll through the streets and shops in the local shops on the side of visitors from other countries. Small wine stores sell a wide range of goods and church bells on the hour seem odd that the American people. When you arrive in town, you must go to the station and east to exit through a long tunnel that takes you to old Monterosso. After leaving the tunnel, and come down the exit, turn right, watch the waves break gently on the beach. Along the cliff is a walk that leads to a big rock wave break that prevents fast approaching waves.
When night falls and a bottle of wine in hand, I like my way to the wave breaking zone. Finding a comfortable place to sit I open the bottle and relax to the sound of the sea have also done so for generations of Italians to me. When the sun goes down completely in the city is alive with the glow of streetlights. The occasional fishing boat on the lake, fresh catch of tomorrow’s work and periodically along the train route, the high is higher than that for an evening stroll rumble. Occasionally, another passenger to enjoy the area, but all in all the loneliness that the search for the sound of the sea and away from city traffic more than enough to kick back at him and the dream of owning a house in a fishing village in Italy.
5. Plaza de San Nicolás, Granada, Spain:
Granada offers visitors a huge amount of interesting places to sample food and culture to see to see the Permanent with some of the most beautiful sights in Europe, the Alhambra, which was recently shown as a vote of the seven wonders of the whole world. But while escaping the inside of the Alhambra could not even look at this Moorish fortress of the Plaza de San Nicolás start is a must.
The hotel is located in Granada this Albaicin Plaza offers the best view of the fort and has ample space to relax. Looking for a way a bit confusing maze of streets and alleys in the middle, from which this quarter as a map or follow the small crowds of tourists. Do you make your way up to this small space to achieve, but the trunk is worth. All in all, the area is not large, but to the south one of the best views anywhere.
I usually set out one hour before sunrise to find the high white wall that borders the Plaza de San Nicolás creates. Passengers hang their feet over the edge of the wall, a small drum circle beats a relaxing atmosphere in every life and views to the south. on the road is the Alhambra, which begins at dusk, lit by bright lights in the fort, as if gold. Behind the palace lies the snow-capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada and the Sun on the right it’s difficult to keep your eyes on the magnificent scene before him. Throw your legs over the edge of the wall, snap a few pictures and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
