Don’t Forget to Explore Thailand Nature

Travelling No Comments »

Vienna Waits For You

Travelling No Comments »

Nostalgic romanticism of the past an the quirky modern life, imperialistic cultural treasures and musical highlights, combined with hospitality and charme: Vienna has a lot to offer!

ViennaVienna is old, Vienna is new: a contrast that is clearly visible in the centre of the “Old City”. The 137m high Stephansdom, on of the Viennese landmarks, is mirrored in the post-modern glass front of the Haas House, which, just like the cathedral, offers a stunning view over the roofs of the city. If you want to explore all this in style, get into a classic Fiaker horse cart. Vienna is especially attractive thanks to the exciting combination of nostalgic flair from the ages of the emperors and the lively cultural scene that does not only spread the newest trends but also takes the responsibility to preserve the heritage and the ancient traditions.

The City of New York

Travelling 1 Comment »

New YorkThe first sight of the skyline of New York from the water is really staggering and it is just so impressive when you are in the streets, looking in astonishment at the skyscrapers that rise up like great cliffs, it takes your breath away to see them shooting up 70, 100 storeys. They are a sort of vertical landscape instead of the horizontal one that we are accustomed to.
