Relatively close to one another on the city’s northwest side, Lisbon’s professional football clubs are S.L. Benfica (Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica) and Sporting CP (.José Alvalade Stadium)As its nickname suggests, Lisbon is home to many sloping terrains, so sneakers might be good to pack. Also good to pack are a jacket in winter and light-colored clothing in summer. To avoid looking like a tourist, never dress in all-white, and use an umbrella rather than a poncho if it’s raining. Stretching in public is considered rude. In Lisbon, one should address a woman as senhora and a man as senhor. Never speak Spanish to a Portuguese person. Of course, Portuguese is the city’s official language, though English is widely spoken in downtown tourist areas especially. Lisbon generally is considered safe, though pickpocketing is known to occur. Lisbon’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Lisbon accommodations are some of Portugal’s best. Before we get to Lisbon accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Prior to the Roman era, the Lisbon area was inhabited by Pre-Celtic tribes and Pre-Indo-European tribes, respectively. From the 8th-6th centuries BC, an Iron Age people occupied the area and held commercial relations with the Phoenicians, as evidenced by excavations done near the Castle of São Jorge. A Phoenician presence in the area developed into a Carthaginian settlement, which led to clashes with the Roman Republic. Roman general and statesman Scipio Africanus, often regarded as one of the world’s all-time greatest military commanders and strategists, defeated Carthaginian forces in Eastern Hispania, or the Iberian Peninsula, around 200 BC. This Roman victory paved the way for the area to be integrated with the Roman province of Lusitania, with its citizens being granted Roman citizenship. Modern-day Lisbon would become known as Olissipo under Roman rule. Frequent raids and rebellions from the area’s Indo-European Lusistanians prompted the Romans to build a wall around the settlement. A great theater, baths, temples, a large necropolis, a large forum and multi-storied apartment buildings were built during the reign of Augustus, founder of the Roman Empire. Olissipo is remembered as a place of prosperity, with far-reaching trade routes to other Roman provinces, and prized, valuable exports such as garum (fish sauce), wine, salt and Lusitanian horses. Following anno Domini, Olissipo, like most of the Western Roman Empires’ great cities, was dismantled by way of Christianity. Potamius became the area’s first bishop circa 356 AD, around which time martyrs such as “The Holy Martyrs of Lisbon” (siblings) Verissimus, Maxima, and Julia were tormented and executed for refusing to renounce their Christian faith. Fading Olissipo would transition into a strong Christian center by the Fall of Rome. Barbarian invasions occurred following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Starting in 409 AD, the area was occupied by Sarmatians (ancient Iranian nomadic peoples), Alans (North Caucasus nomads), Vandals (Germanic people), Suebi (Germanic) and Visigoths (Germanic), respectively. Muslim forces of the Umayyad Caliphate took the area in early August of 711 AD, which eventually led to the medieval, Islamic-Arab kingdom, Taifa of Lisbon’s etablishment circa 1022 AD. In 1094, the larger, Moorish, Taifa of Badajoz conquered the area. On their way to the Holy Land and as part of the Norwegian Crusade, Norwegian crusaders led by Sigurd I raided and briefly occupied the area in 1108, only to be supplanted by the Moorish Almoravids in 1111. With the aid of crusader knights, Afonso 1 of Portugal besieged and reconquered Lisbon in 1147, returning the city and its approximately 154,000 residents to Christian rule, which is considered one of the most significant events in Lisbon’s history. Mosques were either destroyed or converted into churches, and the Arabic language lost its place in everyday life before disappearing altogether. In 1255, Lisbon became the new Portuguese territory’s capital due to its central location, and by the end of the Middle Ages the city had become an important trading post among both Northern European and Mediterranean cities. From the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century, most Portuguese expeditions set sail from Lisbon during the Age of Discovery. In 1498, Vasco da Gama left Lisbon for India. Lisbon’s golden era occurred in the 16th century, when commerce among Africa, India, the Far East and Brazil flowed through the city. Spices, textiles, sugar and slaves were the main goods during a period when Manueline-style architecture arose. A sixty-year, Portugal/Spain dual monarchy was initiated in 1580 by way of the Spanish Habsburgs. The Portuguese Restoration War of 1640 ultimately restored Portuguese independence from the Habsburgs. Following a few centuries-worth of significant earthquakes, Brazilian gold allowed King John V to rebuild,  highlighted by several Baroque churches and theaters in the early 18th century. Napoléon Bonaparte invaded Portugal in the early 19th century, which forced Queen Maria I and Prince-Regent John to flee temporarily to Brazil. Carlos I of Portugal was assassinated in Lisbon on February 1, 1908. During World War II, Lisbon was one of the few neutral European ports, and harbored both refugees and spies. The 1940 Portuguese Exhibition attracted 3 million visitors. Throughout the 20th century, Lisbon was the site of three revolutions: the October 5, 1910 revolution, which ended the Portuguese monarchy and installed the unstable and corrupt Portuguese First Republic, the June 6, 1926 revolution, which ended the first republic and established the corporatist Estado Novo (Portuguese Second Republic), and the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which reformed the country into the semi-presidential, constitutional, Portuguese Third Republic of today.

Portugal’s capital and largest city, Lisbon today is home to around 550,000 “alfacinha”. Mainland Europe’s westernmost capital, Lisbon is bound on the west by the affluent Portuguese Riviera. Lisboa is one of the world’s oldest cities, as well as Portugal’s political center. PSI-20, part of Euronext Lisbon, is a benchmark stock market index of companies that held a market capitalization of over €60 billion in 2010. Over 3,000,000 tourists visit Lisbon annually. Naturally, Lisbon Cruise Port, with its bustling three-floor terminal, is one of Europe’s leading cruise line destinations. Alfa Pendular, a high-speed railway capable of reaching 137 miles per hour, connects Lisbon to Portugal’s other major cities. City of Seven Hill’s symbol is the raven, while Its coat of arms, depicted by a golden shield, a black sailing ship and two inner-facing ravens, has existed since the 12th century. Home to a Mediterranean climate, Lisbon’s summer temperatures average in the mid-70s degrees Fahrenheit, while winters range in the low-to-mid-50s. Additional points of interest include Rossio Square, Avenida da Liberdade (luxury goods shopping street), National Coach Museum, Queen Maria II National Theatre, Teatro Ibérico, Santo António Church, Monastery of São Vicente de Fora, Church of Santa Engrácia, Bairro Alto (central district), Baixa Pombalina (downtown), Parque das Nações (freguesia – civil parish), Port of Lisbon, Gare do Oriente (train station) and University of Lisbon. Popular foods are bacalhau (cod), alheira (sausage), bifana (a traditional Portuguese sandwich), grilled sardines, caldo verde (soup), caldeirada (fish stew), arroz de marisco (seafood rice) and pastéis de nata (custard tarts), along with a wide variety of seafoods. Licor Beirão (a sweet, aromatic liqueur with hints of honey and citrus) is Portugal’s national drink, while ginjinha / ginja (cherry liqueur), caipirinha (lime sugarcane hard liquor / also Brazil’s national cocktail) and wine (especially port) are also popular. With some background information on the area, we are excited, perhaps, for Lisbon accommodations that will help make for an outstanding experience.

Warsaw accommodations

Warsaw accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Phoenix City”.

Warsaw known for: castles, museums, architecture (Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, neoclassical, contemporary), theaters, galleries, event venues, shopping malls, parks, monuments, pierogis

Warsaw is located on east-central Poland’s Masovian Plain. Nicknamed for its resiliency, especially after being almost razed to the ground by the end of World War II, Warsaw has been destroyed and rebuilt at least a handful of times. Phoenix City is in relative proximity to the Polish cities of Krakow (180 miles southwest) and Gdansk (210 miles northwest). Flowing through central Warsaw, the Vistula River is Poland’s longest river at 651 miles. The Vistula rises in southern Poland’s Barania Góra (mountain – 4,000 feet above sea level) and ultimately empties into the Vistula Lagoon / Gdansk Bay on the Baltic Sea.

As Warsaw has many great hotels near the airport, the city can make for a fine layover stop between Western and Eastern Europe, or even the Americas and Asia. Although Polish people are quite friendly, they are typically not tolerant of rudeness. Ignorance is also frowned upon, so brushing up on some Polish customs beforehand is advisable. And although English is actually widely spoken / understood in tourist areas especially, learning some Polish words / phrases beforehand would of course be respected. Warsaw’s currency is the zloty. cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Warsaw accommodations are some of Poland’s best. Before we get to Warsaw accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Once located in today’s Bródno neighborhood, the Warsaw area’s first fortified settlements can be traced to the 9th century. By the 12th century, these settlements had expanded to the Ujazdów Castle area, or Jazdów. However, as the Jazdów settlement had succumbed to raids by nearby clans and dukes, a new fortified settlement was developed at Warszowa, a small fishing village. Around 1300 AD, Bolesław II of Masovia, The Prince of Płock, established what would evolve into modern-day Warsaw, with the first historical documents referencing the area as a castellany, or medieval territory, dating to 1313. By 1390, St John’s Cathedral was completed, and Warsaw became a seat of the Dukes of Masovia. Subsequently, the town was made the Duchy of Masovia’s capital circa 1413. Craftmanship and trade became key economic contributors at the onset, with about 4,500 people living in the town. New Town, a self-governing precinct established beyond the northern city wall, was populated during the 15th century, with the existing, older settlement becoming known as Old Town. Newcomers, or “undesirables”, particularly Jews, were not permitted to settle in Old Town. A minor revolt occurred in 1525, and following the sudden death of Janusz III, who was thought to have been poisoned by Bona Sforza, wife of Sigismund I of Poland, and thus the extinction of the local ducal line, Masovia was incorporated into the Kingdom of Poland circa 1526. In 1529, for the first time, Warsaw became the seat of the Sejm, or lower house of parliament. Around this time at the Old Town entrance, the Barbican fortified gate and subsequent Royal Palace, built by Italian architects, were constructed, along with streets and a marketplace.  Religious freedom in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, by way of the Warsaw Confederation, was established in 1573. Warsaw’s status as a capital city can be traced to 1596 by way of the Polish-Swedish Union. Around this time, Polish King and Roman Catholic Sigismund III Vasa moved his court from Krakow to the area due to its central location. Ruled by their own laws, private and independent districts propped up in the Warsaw area. These districts, comprised of noble aristocrats, their lands, and the gentry social class below them. however, were besieged not long thereafter by Swedish, Brandenburgian and Transylvanian forces. During the late-17th century, Warsaw became an early-capitalist city under the reign of Augustus II The Strong. In 1795, the city was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia, becoming the capital of South Prussia. Warsaw was liberated from Prussia by Napoleon in 1806. In 1815, however, the city was taken under Russian control, which lasted for a century. German forces, at the beginning of the First World War, attacked Warsaw circa 1915. The 1920 Battle of Warsaw, resulting in a decisive Polish victory, saw to Poland’s  retaking of the city from Russia. In late-1939, Germany’s Siege of Warsaw marked the beginning of World War II. After the Second World War, Poland once again succumbed to Russian control by way of the Eastern Bloc. Pope John Paul II, during the early-1980s, played a large role in liberating Poland from communist control, which ultimately revived the country to its 17th-century, capitalistic roots.

With a population of around 1.9 million “Varsovians”, Warsaw is Poland’s capital and largest city. Along with Frankfurt, London and Paris, Warsaw’s number of skyscrapers ranks highly amongst European cities, with Varso Place the European Union’s tallest building. Warsaw’s symbol is the mermaid, which can be found on statues throughout the city, as well as on the city’s coat of arms. Also symbolic of Warsaw, the Vistula River, throughout Poland, is lined with historical buildings and castles, examples of which being Basilica Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption, Toruń Castle, Kwidzyn Castle and Gniew Castle. Founded in 1817, The Warsaw Stock Exchange is Central and Eastern Europe’s largest stock exchange. Technology, construction, food processing, chemicals, metallurgy, machinery, printing, textiles and cosmetics account for the city’s main industries. Poland’s media center, Warsaw is home to TVP, the country’s public service broadcaster. Phoenix City welcomed over 9 million tourists in 2022, with large numbers coming from the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and France in particular. Summer and Fall are particularly nice times to visit Warsaw. Summer highs average around 78 degrees Fahrenheit in July, while January winters average just above freezing. Additional points of interest include Wilanów Palace, Staszic Palace, Casimir Palace, Jabłonowski Palace, Krasiński Palace, Barbican, Downtown (Śródmieście), Marszałkowska Street (Marshall Street), Krakowskie Przedmieście (prestigious street), Royal Route, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Sigismund’s Column (King Sigismund III Vasa column/statue), Nicolaus Copernicus Monument, Łazienki Park, Grzybowski Square, Main Market Square, Canon Square, Water Filters Museum, St. Anne’s Church, Holy Cross Church, Carmelite Church, St. Kazimierz Church, Church of Saint Charles Borromeo, St. Alexander’s Church, Stare Powązki Cemetery, Warsaw University of Technology and Złote Tarasy (Golden Terraces). Popular foods are Kielbasa, Pierogi (dumpling), Placki Ziemniaczane (potato pancakes), Gołąbki (cabbage roll), Kapusta (braised sauerkraut or cabbage, bacon, mushroom and onion or garlic), Łazanki (pasta), Kotlet Schabowy (breaded pork cutlet), Barszcz (Polish red borscht), Rosół (chicken soup) and Pączki (Polish donuts). Vodka is mixed regularly in cocktails, while Baltic porter, Lager beer, wine and Śliwowicka łącka (a traditional Polish drink made from fermented beetroots, salt, garlic, and water) are also largely sought. With some background information on the area, it’s time for Warsaw accommodations that will help make for an unforgettable trip.

Berlin Accommodations

Berlin accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Grey City”.

Known for: museums, theaters, architecture, plazas, squares, parks, restaurants, beer gardens, shopping malls, nightclubs, fashion, chocolate

Found in northeastern Germany, Berlin is about 180 miles southeast of Germany’s second-largest city of Hamburg. Ultimately flowing through central Berlin, the Spree River starts in the Lusatian Highlands, forms the Spree Forest (large inland delta – about 60 miles southeast), and proceeds through Lake Schwielochsee before entering the city. Not coincidently, Berlin tourist spots are found mostly in the city’s central and western sections.

Berlin’s professional football clubs are 1. FC Union Berlin (Stadion An der Alten Försterei – far-southeast side) and Hertha BSC (Olympiastadion Berlin – far-west side). When in Berlin, keep in mind that dress code policies can actually vary amongst districts. Berlin’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Berlin accommodations are some of Germany’s best. Before we get to Berlin accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Human settlements are estimated to have existed in the Berlin-area since around 60,000 BC, with a deer mask being discovered that dates to around 9,000 BC. From 2,000 BC to the 7th century, it is thought, respectively, that the area had been inhabited by the Lusatian culture, Germanic tribes, Semnones, Burgundians, Hevelli and Sprevane. As part of the Holy Roman Empire’s Margraviate of Brandenburg (1157AD-1806), the region came under German rule starting in the 12th century. Albert the Bear founded Brandenburg circa 1157. In Berlin Mitte, remnants of a 1280 AD house foundation have been excavated, with Berlin itself thought to have been founded in 1237. The area’s two main trade routes, the Holy Roman Empire’s Via Imperii along with an eastern-reaching route from Bruges to Novgorod, contributed to the city’s “staple right”, or right to hold a regular market, which either forced a merchant to make all stops along a prescribed tollway route, or pay a trade taxation to avoid a staple right city. The Berlin-area towns of Spandau and Köpenick formed an alliance in 1307. Electors of Brandenburg, kings of Prussia and German emperors, respectively, the House of Hohenzollern ruled in Berlin from the late 11th century to 1918. Frederick II Irontooth, starting in 1448, constructed the Royal Palace, which first became a royal residence in 1486, when John II, posthumously named “John Cicero”, came to power. Berlin electors, and the city itself, officially became Lutheran in 1539 following Berlin-Cölln’s loss as a free Hanseatic League city. Between 1618 and 1648, the Thirty Years’ War took a heavy toll on Berlin, with a third of its houses being damaged or destroyed, and half of its population being decimated. Beginning in 1640, Frederick William initiated a policy to promote immigration to, and religious tolerance in, Berlin. Thereafter, following a Huguenot immigration, approximately 30 percent of Berlin’s population had become French by the year 1700, with additional immigrants arriving from Bohemia, Poland, and Salzburg. The Kingdom of Prussia, in 1701, formed out of a personal union between the Margraviate of Brandenburg and the Duchy of Prussia. At this time, Frederick III, Elector of Brandenburg crowned himself King Frederick I in Prussia. Through a successful attempt to centralize power, King Frederick I replaced Königsberg (presently Kalingrad, Russia) with Berlin as the new Kingdom of Prussia’s capital city. Berlin merged with the four cities of Cölln, Friedrichswerder, Friedrichstadt and Dorotheenstadt in 1709. Frederick II, or “Frederick the Great “, in 1740 came to power and saw both a period of Enlightenment and the Seven Years’ War. Napoleon Bonaparte, after a victory in the War of the Fourth Coalition between France and Prussia, in 1806 marched into Berlin, though granted it self-government, with the city becoming part of the new Province of Brandenburg circa 1815. During the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution expanded the city’s economy and population. Germany’s main railway hub and economic center, Berlin and its suburban areas grew, and the city became the newly founded German Empire‘s capital in 1871. The Berlin city district separated from Brandenburg in 1881. Early in the 20th century, German Expressionism was strong in the city. The Weimar Republic, with Berlin remaining its capital, was proclaimed following the First World War. The Roaring Twenties, a time of prosperity particularly in the Western world, was also a period of economic uncertainty in Berlin, a place where Albert Einstein lived from 1914-1933, and during which time he received the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics. Inspired by architecture that he had experienced in Vienna, Adolf Hitler had grand architectural designs planned for Berlin, which ultimately were never fulfilled. Between 1933 and 1939, about 80,000 (or half) of Berlin’s Jewish population emigrated from the city. The Summer Olympics were held in Berlin circa 1936, at which time the Olympiastadion was built. In Berlin on November 9, 1938, Kristallnacht, also known as “Night of Broken Glass” and “November pogroms”, prompted largely by the assassination of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Polish-Jewish, Welmar Germany expatriate Herschel Grynszpan in Paris, resulted in Jewish structures being damaged or destroyed, at least 91 deaths and thousands of the city’s Jews being imprisoned in the nearby Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Multiple Nazi prisons and camps, holding peoples from various European countries as well as Allied POWs, existed in Berlin throughout World War II. From 1943-45, and particularly during the 1945 Battle of Berlin, Allied air raids resulted in large parts of Berlin being destroyed alongside heavy civilian casualties. Following the Second World War, Berlin was divided into West (United States, United Kingdom and France) and East (Soviet Union), with all four “Allies” sharing administrative responsibilities. One of the first international crises of the Cold War was the Soviet Union’s Berlin Blockade, prompted by the Western Allies’ introduction of the Deutsche Mark into West Berlin, which blocked the Western Allies’ access to railways, roads and canals under Western control. Berlin Airlift, from the Summer of 1948 through the Fall of 1949, was a feat carried out by American and British air forces, during which time over 250,000 flights dropped up to 12,941 tons of supplies (food and fuel) per day onto West Berlin.  In 1949, the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in West Germany, and the Marxist–Leninist German Democratic Republic was proclaimed in East Germany. Naturally, this division increased Cold War tensions further. The Berlin Wall was planned to be built around West Berlin starting in 1961, which led to a US and Soviet tank standoff at Checkpoint Charlie, an infamous Berlin Wall crossing-point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. On June 26, 1963, just 3 months before his assassination, President John F. Kennedy, in West Berlin, gave his Ich bin ein Berliner speech, which renounced Communism. A Four-Power agreement, guaranteeing access to and from West Berlin, was met in 1971 between East and West Berlin foreign ministers. On June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan gave a speech at Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, infamously calling on Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” The opening of the Iron Curtain on August 19, 1989, followed by the Berlin Wall’s destruction on November 9, 1989, naturally were causes of great rejoice amongst the German people. Following the Cold War, Berlin experienced significant urban development, and on June 18, 1994, soldiers from the United States, France and Britain marched in a Berlin parade to commemorate the reunification of the city.

Home to over 3.8 million “Berliners”, Berlin is Germany’s capital and largest city. The European Union’s second-most populous city behind London, Berlin produced a total GDP of €147 billion in 2018. The city’s economy is dominated by the service sector, with about 85% of companies conducting business through services. Over 30 million tourists per year visit Grey City. Along with Hamburg and Bremen, Berlin is a German Stadtstaaten, or city-state, while also being 1 of 16 federal states. Spanning 110-acres and colored with around 22,000 different plant species, Botanischer Garten is one of the world’s largest botanical gardens. Some of Central Europe’s top-rated Michelin restaurants can be found in Berlin. The city’s coat of arms displays a bear, and is thus an example of canting arms. Home to a temperate climate, Berlin experiences generally mild summers and winters, with July/August high temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70s degrees Fahrenheit, and December / January highs in the mid-to-upper 30s. Additional points of interest include Berlin Palace, Bellevue Palace, Konzerthaus Berlin, Museum Island, Pergamon Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, Egyptian Museum of Berlin, Rotes Rathaus (town hall), Victory Column, Gendarmenmarkt, Potsdam Square, Breitscheidplatz, The New Church, French Cathedral, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, St. Hedwig’s Cathedral, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Berlin Potsdamer Platz and Humboldt University of Berlin. Popular foods include sauerbraten (Germany’s national dish, a traditional, heavily marinated meat roast, usually beef), bratwurst (pork or veal link sausage), schnitzel (tenderized, breaded, fried, thin slice of meat, typically pork), kassler (cured, slightly smoked cut of pork), eisbein (corned ham hock), buletten (German hamburgers), königsberger klopse (German meatballs), currywurst (fast food dish, a steamed, fried, spicy sausage), döner kebab (Turkish, similar to shawarma and gyros), fried veal liver, roast goose (Christmas-time), spätzle (egg noodles), kartoffelpuffer (German potato pancakes), senfeier (German eggs in mustard sauce), pretzels, pfannkuchen (German pancakes), Berliner pfannkuche (doughnut), rote grütze (sweet fruit dish), schwarzwälder kirschtorte (Black Forest cake), apfelstrudel (apple strudel), chocolate and ice cream. Drinks are lager beer (pilsner), wheat/sour beer (Berliner Weisse), craft beer, Schnapps, Halb und Halb (orange bitter liquor), ayran (Turkish yogurt drink), black tea, fruit tea and mineral water. Good to know is that “Ein Absacker” means the last drink before going home, or nightcap. Excited perhaps by some more background information on the area. we’re ready for Berlin accommodations that will help make for an unforgettable experience.

Fierce rivals, Rome’s professional football clubs are A.S. Roma and S.S. Lazio (each play at aforementioned Stadio Olimpico – northwest side). The Lazio / Roma rivalry is known as Derby della CapitaleIn Rome, keep in mind that tourist places such as Trevi Fountain can get crowded, so it might be best to visit first-thing in the morning. August is not the best time to visit the city, as many Italians / establishments go on “holiday”, or vacation. When walking down / across streets, be mindful of vehicles, of course cars and also scooters. Although Rome generally is considered safe, be mindful of potential scammers (bracelet scam) and pick-pocketers. Rome’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the legal drinking age is 18 years old. Rome accommodations are some of Italy’s best. Before we get to Rome accommodations, let’s take a look at some background information on the area to help you along the way.

Ancient Roman myth attributes the name “Roma” to the city’s founder and first king, Romulus. Archaeological evidence (stone tools, stone weapons, pottery) of human settlement in the Rome area dates back about 10,000 years, when several pastoral hilltop villages existed between the sea and the Capitoline Hill. Onward from Romulus, Rome’s first rulers were of Latin, Sabine and Etruscan origins, respectively. This initial monarchy lasted 244 years, as the Romans expelled the last king in 509 BC. From there, an oligarchic republic, led by two annually elected consuls, was established. Thereafter, conflict ensued between patricians (aristocrats) and plebeians (small landowners), as well as with central Italy populations. The Roman Empire would develop out of Latium, the central-western Italy region in which Rome was founded. Fought between the Roman Republic and the Carthaginian Empire, the Punic Wars (264-146 BC) resulted in a Roman victory and conquest of all Carthaginian territories except for Numidia (modern day Algeria, Tunisia and Libya). Around the 2nd century BC, two groups of aristocrats, the optimates (Senate conservatives) and the populares (plebian), jockeyed for power. Small farmers went bankrupt, large slave estates sprung up and subsequent warfare led to the establishment of a professional army. The populares Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus failed to implement social reform and civil war ensued, from which Roman general and statesman Sulla arose victorious. Subsequently, slave leader Spartacus led an uprising against the Roman Republic. These prolonged tensions, along with the Spartacus uprising, led to the establishment of the first Triumvirate (informal political alliance) of Caesar, Pompey and Crassus. Caesar gained popularity through his conquest of Gaul. Not long after Caesar declared himself dictator perpetuo, or “dictator in perpetuity”, he was assassinated on March 15, 44 BC. A second Triumvirate then was established (Octavian – Caesar’s grandnephew and heir, Mark Antony and Lepidus). A decisive civil war, the War of Actium (32–30 BC), between Octavian (Western Roman provinces) and Antony (Eastern Roman provinces / Ptolemaic Egypt) saw Octavian arise victorious, and Rome annex Egypt. Octavian was named Augustus (Roman emperor) and princeps (first in order) in 27 BC. At this time, an imperial government known as the principate formed. Proceeding Octavian were the rulers Tiberius (14-37 AD), Caligula (37-41 AD), Claudius (41-54 AD) and Nero (54-68 AD). Caligula and Nero both proved to be sadistic tyrants, while Claudius was considered vulnerable. During Tiberius’ reign, Jesus Christ was crucified in Jerusalem. Under Nero, the Great Fire of Rome destroyed two-thirds of the city, and Christians were persecuted. Funded by spoils taken after the First Jewish–Roman War, the Colosseum began construction In 70 AD. Under Emperor Trajan (98-117 AD), the Roman Empire expanded to its farthest reaches, and Rome was reaffirmed as caput Mundi, or capital of the known world. The Crisis of the Third Century occurred in 235 AD, when several generals fought for power. Diocletian rose to power in 284 AD and introduced Dominate while imposing price controls. In 286, Diocletian divided the empire, which would form the basis of the Eastern and Western Empires. In 306 AD, Constantine I, or Constantine the Great, rose to power. The first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, Constantine granted freedom of worship to everyone including Christians, and restored previously confiscated church properties. Constantine I also created regional dioceses. Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 and the Vandals in 455. Weak fifth century emperors led to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in September 476, which marked the beginning of the Middle Ages. The city’s population having declined relatively drastically by the year 500, large parts of Rome became abandoned. In 455, Rome’s population had reached around 800,000. Between 493 and 553, Italy was controlled by the Ostrogothic Kingdom, a barbarian kingdom established by Germanic Ostrogoths. Following a 537 AD Gothic siege, Rome’s population had fallen to around 30,000. The Gothic War (535–554) between the Byzantine Empire and the Ostrogothic Kingdom resulted in a Byzantine victory, with the Eastern Roman Empire taking back the Italian peninsula and Sicily, along with Dalmatia. The Lombards, a Germanic people, in turn conquered most of the Italian Peninsula between 568 and 774. Lombard king Liutprand donated the north Latium town of Sutri to the Church in 729. The Pope was given temporal jurisdiction over the Duchy of Rome and the Exarchate of Ravenna by Frankish King Pepin the Short following Pepin’s defeat of the Lombards in 756. From there, the Papal States were created. During the Middle Ages, three parties jockeyed for control of Rome: theocratic (Pope), republican (nobility alongside Senate / populace) and imperial (Frankish king). Pope Leo III, in Rome, crowned Frankish King Charlemagne as Emperor on Christmas night, 800 AD, which marked the beginning of the Carolingian Empire. In May, 1083, Rome was sacked by the Normans. During the 12th century, an autonomous senatore / patrizio administration evolved into a Medieval commune controlled by wealthy classes. The commune was opposed by Popes Lucius II and Eugenius III. Under Pope Innocent III, the commune replaced the senate with a pope-controlled Senatore. During the 13th century the conclave was created and aristocratic families fought each other for control of the papacy. The Western Schism (1377–1418), a split within the Catholic Church, saw bishops from both Rome and Avignon simultaneously claim papal status. Martin V was elected pope in 1418 following the Council of Constance, which settled the Western Schism. Around this time, the center of the Italian Renaissance moved from Florence to Rome, and works such as Saint Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel were created. Papal corruption and nepotism led to the Reformation and subsequent Counter-Reformation, or Catholic Revival. During the Renaissance, Rome became one of the world’s greatest centers for art. Rome’s Renaissance era came to an end with the 1526 War of the League of Cognac and a 1527 sacking by Emperor Charles V-backed Landsknechts. A short-lived Roman Republic (1798–1800) interrupted papal rule. Most Papal States were annexed by France during Napoleon’s reign, with Rome becoming a department of the First French Empire and capital city. Papal States were reconstituted following Napoleon’s defeat via the 1814 Congress of Vienna. Rome was declared the Kingdom of Italy’s capital circa 1871. In October 1922, Benito Mussolini orchestrated his March on Rome, seizing power and declaring a new Italian Empire. Relative to other European cities, Rome largely escaped heavy bombardment during World War II. Following Mussolini’s arrest on July 25, 1943, Germans occupied Rome. The September 3, 1943 Armistice of Cassibile, or Italian Armistice, ended hostilities between Italy and the Allies, and Rome was liberated on June 4, 1944. Modernization ensued in the 1950s and early-60s, marked by la dolce vita, or “the sweet life”. Rome’s population reached 2.8 million by the mid-1980s.

Italy’s capital and also a special commune, Rome today is home to over 2.8 Romans. Within city limits, Vatican City is the world’s smallest country. Rome’s tallest building is Torre Eurosky at 509 feet. 28 bridges cross the Tiber River in Rome. 60 known catacomb complexes, including about 95 miles of tunnels, exist below Rome’s surface. Influential Roman inventions include numerals, the gladius, the newspaper, modern sewer systems, archways, air conditioning and surgical tools. In 2023, approximately 35 million people visited Rome. Home to a Mediterranean climate, Rome enjoys mild temperatures throughout the year, with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s °F. Snowfall is rare though not impossible. Additional points of interest  include Mausoleum of Augustus (large tomb – built 28 BC), Pyramid of Cestius (ancient Roman pyramid – opened 12 BC), Talking Statues of Rome (sites of dissent) and Ostia Lido (beach town). Local foods include carbonara (pasta dish – cured pork, hard cheese, eggs, salt, black pepper), porchetta (traditional Italian roast – boneless pork loin, belly, rib roast rolled together, seasoned with herbs), allesso di bollito (simmered beef dish), cacio e pepe (authentic pasta dish), maritozzi (Italian buns), pizza and gelato. Popular drinks are wine (vino rosso, prosecco), Campari (bitter aperitif), negroni (Italian cocktail – gin, vermouth rosso, Campari), Limoncello (southern Italian lemon liqueur) and Grappa (grape-based pomace brandy). A pre-dinner drink to stimulate the appetite is known as aperitivo. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Rome accommodations that will help make for an unforgettable experience.

Generally, the city’s inhabitants are friendly, but it’s entirely possible to run into some who are unwelcoming to tourists. Barcelona’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Barcelona accommodations are some of Spain’s best. Before we get to Barcelona accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Although Barcelona’s pre-history is largely unknown, tombs and dwellings have been discovered that date to pre-5000 BC. Two legends point to either mythological Hercules or Carthaginian General Hamilcar Barca, Hannibal’s father, as being the city’s founder. Of course, the latter legendary founder holds more merit, though neither have been proven. At the foot of Montjuïc hill, 3rd century BC coins, along with an Iberian script referencing the name Bárkeno, have been found. Around 15 BC, the Romans established a military camp in the area and set up The Roman Forum near present-day Plaça de Sant Jaume, which remains Barcelona’s, as well as surrounding Catalonia’s, administrative center to this day. In the early 5th century, the city was conquered by Germanic Visigoths, who subsequently were overrun by the Middle Eastern Umayyad Caliphate in the early 8th century. Louis the Pious, King of the Franks and Charlemagne’s son, conquered the city from the Umayyad Caliphate following his Carolingian army’s 801 AD siege of Barcelona. Indeed, the city changed hands dramatically near the start of Anno Domini. Following Barcelona’s sacking, and most of the city’s population either being killed or enslaved, by Muslim Arab Andalusi military leader Almanzor in 985, a dynastic union formed between Aragon and the County of Barcelona circa 1137. The marriage of Ramon Berenguer IV and Petronilla of Aragon bore Alfonso II of Aragon, whose territories would develop into the Crown of Aragon (13th-17th centuries). At the height of its power, the Crown of Aragon controlled eastern Spain, parts of southern France, the Balearic Islands, Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia, Malta and parts of Greece. Up until the 15th century, Barcelona was the leading slave trade center of the Crown of Aragon. Likely Europe’s oldest central bank, arising from necessities of the state, the Taula de canvi de Barcelona was established in 1401. Aragon and Castille’s royal lines were united in 1469 with the marriage of Ferdinand II and Isabella I. America’s colonization reduced the financial importance of Mediterranean trade, and Madrid became the center of Spain’s political power around that time. Reapers’ War, or the Catalan Revolt, occurring in Catalonia from 1640-1659 between The Principality of Catalonia and Habsburg Spain, resulted in a Catalan defeat along with the Treaty of the Pyrenees, a part of which saw Spain ceding Northern Catalonia to France. During the War of Spanish Succession, the 1705 siege of Barcelona between Pro-Bourbon Spain and England, the Dutch Republic and Pro-Habsburg Spain resulted in Pro-Bourbon Spain’s entire garrison being captured.  Montjuïc Castle, which had established out of a fortress in 1694, was captured by the British during the 1705 siege. Again during the Napoleonic Wars, the castle was captured, this time by the French Army but without a shot ever being fired, as the troops guarding the castle were ordered not to fight the French.  Following the Napoleonic Wars, industrialization aided Barcelona, though the city also struggled with population density and the accompanying diseases. Urban planner and civil engineer Ildefons Cerdà, considered the founder of modern town planning as a discipline, proposed a solution to the city’s population density problem, a new district called Eixample. Although not entirely realized, Eixample would prove a fine example, as it resulted in the demolition of the city walls, along with an expansive implementation of a street grid, wide streets to allow clean air, gardens at the center of each street block, smooth-flowing traffic and broader sunlight. Octagonal superblocks with chamfered corners for better visibility remain helpful to this day.  Following Catalonia’s resistance to Francisco Franco’s Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War, and as a result of a Nationalist victory, Catalonian autonomous institutions were abolished and the use of the Catalonian language in public was suppressed. Under Francoist Spain from 1939 to 1975, Barcelona remained Spain’s second largest city and saw both industrialization and prosperity, with an influx of workers from Spain’s poorer regions contributing to rapid urbanization. Barcelona’s hosting of the 1992 Summer Olympics provided the city with an economic jolt. Also, the 1992 Olympics was cause for the demolition of industrial buildings along the sea-front, and a replacement with 2 miles of beach. Barcelona Beach, naturally, would boost tourism going forward.

Spain’s second-most populous city behind Madrid, Barcelona is positioned between the mouths of the Llobregat and Besòs rivers. Home to over 1.6 million “Barcelonans” (native Barcelonans are known as “Catalans”), Barcelona ranks in the European Union’s top-5 cities in terms of gross GDP. One of the Mediterranean Sea’s largest metropolises, Barca harbors the Port of Barcelona, which is Europe’s busiest passenger port. Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and Carnival Cruises are a few examples of cruise lines that operate through the Port of Barcelona. 5.5 million international visitors traveled to Barcelona in 2011 compared to 12.4 million in 2022.  Home to eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Barca boasts some of the world’s most amazing spectacles by way of Catalan modernista architecture. Architect of Barcelona’s most incredible art nouveau and modernista buildings, Antoni Gaudí lived in Barcelona from 1868 until his death in 1926 aged 73. The University of Barcelona, one of Spain’s oldest universities, was established in 1450. About sixty parks and seven beaches can be experienced throughout the city. Barcelona summers are warm/hot and average in the high 70s degrees Fahrenheit, while winters are mild at around 53 degrees. Rain occurs only about 78 days per year. Additional points of interest include Palau de la Música Catalana (concert hall), Gran Teatre del Liceu (performing arts theater), Palau Nacional (art museum), Palau de la Generalitat de Catalunya (historic palace / government center), Torre Glòries (business center), World Trade Center Barcelona, Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor (Catholic church), Venetian Towers (monument), La Rambla (street), La Barceloneta (neighborhood), Port Olimpic (marina) and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya (racecourse). Local foods include  Canelons (a type of lasagna), Escudella i Carn d’Olla (meat and vegetable stew), Fricandó (beef stew with mushrooms), Faves a la Catalana (fava bean dish), Ànec amb peres (duck with pears), Pa amb Tomàque (bread with tomato) and Patatas Bravas (quartered potatoes and paella). Popular drinks are Cava (sparkling white wine), Vermouth, Sangria, Leche de Pantera (condensed milk, gin and water) and beer. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Barcelona accommodations that are sure to inspire excitement.

Copenhagen accommodations

Copenhagen accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “The City of Spires”. Known for its Viking heritage, troll folklore, pristine harbor, canals, gardens, cobblestone streets, Nordic cuisine, fine dining restaurants, designer goods stores, nightlife and pleasant inhabitants, Copenhagen is a coastal city located on the islands of Zealand and Amager. Called København locally, Copenhagen is across the Øresund Strait from Sweden. The City of Spires connects to the Swedish city of Malmo via the impressive Øresund Bridge. Copenhagen is across the Baltic Sea from Germany and Poland.

Winners of 13 Danish Football Championships, as well as 8 Danish Cups, F.C. Copenhagen plays at Parken Stadium on the city’s north side. In Copenhagen, there may be lots of cyclists on the roadways. Cyclists must keep to the right, use the bike lane and hand signals, and walk the bike on sidewalks and pedestrian crossings. In Freetown Christiania’s Pusher Street, refrain from taking photos. Also not allowed are vehicles. Keep in mind that cannabis may be present in Christiania, though it is technically illegal in Denmark. Although generally happy people, Danes do tend to be reserved when it comes to outsiders. Copenhagen’s official language is of course Danish, though English is spoken widely and fluently. “Please” and “thank you” are considered redundant, so you probably won’t hear these words used often. Native to Denmark, the Broholmer (Danish Mastiff) can weigh over 150 pounds. When fortunate enough to see a Broholmer out in public, just keep in mind that they are friendly, yet protective, so it’s best to take a cautious approach. Copenhagen’s currency is the Danish Kroner, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Copenhagen accommodations are some of Scandinavia’s best. Before we get to Copenhagen accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Human settlement around Copenhagen dates back to at least the Stone Age, as evidenced by substantial flint tool discoveries in the area. More recent archaeological findings consist of the following: a large merchant’s mansion dating to around 1020 AD near present-day Kongens Nytorv Square, an ancient 11th century church and graveyard near the Strøget shopping area and Rådhuspladsen Square, and a well discovered beneath the Pilestræde side street dating to the late 12th century. From the 11th to 13th centuries, seasonal fishermen and merchants capitalized on the harbor’s bountiful herring stocks. Danish historian, theologian and author Saxo Grammaticus wrote of Copenhagen as ‘Merchants Harbor’ in his 12th century patriotic work Gesta Danorum. Bishop Absalon, who in 1167 constructed a modest fortress near present-day Christiansborg Palace, traditionally is considered Copenhagen’s founder. Absalon constructed the fortress in response to Wendish (present-day German) pirate attacks. Wends attacks eventually led to the construction of Copenhagen Castle in the late 14th century, around which time Copenhagen sustained repeated attacks by the Hanseatic League. Much like with Amsterdam, Copenhagen’s herring trade thrived. A personal union between Denmark, Norway and Sweden, known as the Kalmar Union, established Copenhagen as Denmark’s capital circa 1416. Eric of Pomerania, operating from Copenhagen Castle, ruled over the Kalmar Union from 1396 to 1439. On June 1, 1479, King Christian I, with Pope Sixtus IV’s approval, inaugurated the University of Copenhagen. During the 1520s-30s Reformation in Denmark, Danish-based House of Oldenburg territories converted from Catholicism to Lutherism. Frederik I, who supported Lutherism in opposition to Catholic-based Christian II, successfully besieged Copenhagen in 1523, only to be supplanted by Christian II, aligned with Malmo and Lübeck, in 1536. From 1588 to 1648, under Christian IV, Copenhagen grew dramatically. During this time, the Tøjhus Arsenal and Børsen Stock Exchange were constructed. Christian IV traded favorably with the Netherlands’ East India Company. Sponsoring further ambitious building projects, Christian IV  built the Rosenborg Slot and the Rundetårn, which helped repel a major Swedish siege under Charles X circa 1658. By 1661, the joint Denmark-Norway’s major institutions, as well as its naval fleet and most of its army, were based in Copenhagen, which helped to assert its position as Denmark-Norway’s capital city. In 1711, Copenhagen was hit by the plague, which killed around 22,000 (roughly 33%) of its population. Similar to London, Copenhagen was also devastated by fire. Following the Copenhagen Fire of 1728, reconstruction projects led to the building of Christiansborg Palace, Frederiksstaden (district), Royal Theater and Royal Academy of Fine Arts, as well as to an extension to the Holmen naval base. A second fire in 1794 destroyed Christiansborg and led to the Højbro Plads, Nytorv and Gammel Torv public squares’ implementations. During the Napoleonic Wars, British Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, disobeying Admiral Sir Hyde Parker’s signal to cease fire, attacked and defeated a neutral Danish-Norwegian fleet anchored near Copenhagen in one of Nelson’s hardest fought battles. At the  end of the French Revolutionary Wars, The First (1801) and Second (1807) Battles of Copenhagen between Denmark-Norway and the United Kingdom (each resulting in British victories) were caused by the League of Armed Neutrality’s (Denmark, Sweden, Prussia, and Russia) enforcement of free trade with France and hostility toward the British, in what Britain deemed as a threat to their Scandinavian timber and naval storage supplies. Although Great Britain destroyed most of the city, killed some 2,000 civilians and led Denmark to national bankruptcy, a Danish nationalistic spirit was revived via the early-to-mid 19th century Danish Golden Age. The Danish Golden Age saw a new school of painting through the “Father of Danish painting” Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, development of Danish architecture in Neoclassical style, and romantic nationalist music. With a new city hall, a new railway station and new housing developments, Copenhagen had become a thriving industrial and administrative city by the 20th century. Denmark’s neutrality during the First World War had allowed it to trade prosperously with both Great Britain and Germany. Between the First and Second World Wars, Copenhagen first experienced food shortages, proceeded by new housing developments. From April 9, 1940 to May 4, 1945, Copenhagen, along with all of Denmark, became occupied by Nazi Germany. On March 22, 1945, a British air raid on Copenhagen known as Operation Carthage resulted in the Nazi Gestapo headquarters’ and records’ destruction, along with a severe disruption of Nazi operations in Denmark. British troops, commanded by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, liberated Copenhagen on May 8, 1945, while overseeing the surrender of nearly 30,000 Germans positioned around the city. In 1947, the Finger Plan provided a new strategy for the Copenhagen metropolitan area’s development. Freetown Christiania, at the former Bådsmandsstræde Military Barracks, was founded in September 1971. During the 1990s, more housing developments arose near Copenhagen’s harbor area.

Home to over 650,000 “Danes”, Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital and most populous city. Denmark’s economic, cultural and governmental center, Copenhagen is also more broadly one of Northern Europe’s major financial centers, helped largely by its service sector. Nasdaq Copenhagen, founded as the Børsen in 1625, presently holds a market capitalization of around €620 billion. Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, the Nordic countries’ largest airport, saw over 30 million passengers in 2019. In 2012, 840,000 passengers aboard 372 cruise ships beheld Copenhagen Harbour. Consisting of four rail lines, the city’s subway system is The Copenhagen Metro. For much of his life, famous fairy tale author Hans Christian Andersen lived in Copenhagen, which is also his resting place. Andersen’s main character in “The Ugly Duckling”, the exotic Mute Swan is also Denmark’s national animal. Home to an oceanic climate, Copenhagen experiences unstable weather conditions throughout the year. June, the city’s sunniest month, averages around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, while January winters average a little over freezing. Additional points of interest are Nyhavn, The Lakes, Frederik’s Church, Danish War Museum, Frederiksstaden, Thorvaldsen Museum, Slotsholmen, Church of the Holy Spirit, Trinitatis Complex, Church of Our Lady, St. Nicholas Church, Holmen Church, The Black Diamond, Freetown Christiania, Amagertorv, Vesterbro, Nørrebro, Østerbro, Royal Danish Playhouse, The Pantomime Theatre, University of Copenhagen and Christianshavn Metro Station. Denmark’s national dish is Stegt flæsk (fried pork belly). Additional foods include Smørrebrød (a traditional Danish open-faced sandwich), herring, Flæskesteg (roast pork), Frikadeller (pan-fried meatballs) and apple cake. Akvavit (an herbaceous-flavored spirit) is Denmark’s national drink, while mjød (mead), gløgg (mulled wine), pilsner and craft beer and black coffee are also popular. Enlightened perhaps by some background information on the area, it’s time for Copenhagen accommodations that are sure to inspire.

When in Reykjavik, thermal clothing naturally comes in handy. Winter days can be dark for 20 hours straight. An upside to Reykjavik winters is that the best time to see the Northern Lights occurs in winter. Reykjavik’s currency is the Icelandic króna, cars travel on  the right-hand side and the drinking age is 20 years old. Reykjavik accommodations are some of Northern Europe’s best. Before we get to Reykjavik accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Legend has it that Ingólfr Arnarson (Bjǫrnolfsson), along with his wife Hallveig Fróðadóttir and his foster brother Hjǫrleifr Hróðmarsson, was Reykjavík’s first permanent settler circa 874 AD. As told in the Landnámabók, or The Book of Settlements. Arnarson hailed from western Norway’s Rivedal valley in Sunnfjord. The legend was disputed, however, by Icelandic medieval chronicler Ari Þorgilsson. Þorgilsson suggested that although Arnarson was the first Norse settler, Irish monks had actually arrived beforehand. According to Þorgilsson, the monks departed because they did not want to live amongst Norse pagans. Regardless, Arnarson is thought to have chosen the Reykjavik area by using the traditional Norse method of using high seat pillars (Öndvegissúlur), while favoring Iceland’s natural thermal baths. Arnarson’s settlement remained farmland until the 18th century. Following the dismissal of the Danish governor, Skúli Magnússon became the first Icelander to be appointed bailiff, or senior representative of the Danish crown, in 1749. With royal permission from King Frederick V of Denmark, Magnússon established the Innréttingar corporation in 1752 to promote industrial development in Iceland. Wool, fish and fur became the new industrial city of Reykjavik’s first products. Magnússon built Iceland’s first stone house, Viðeyjarstofa Manor House, on Viðey Island between 1753 and 1755. Iceland’s first prison, Stjórnarráðshús, opened in Reykjavik in 1764. Monopoly trade was abolished in Iceland circa 1786, and the Danish Crown granted Reykjavik a town charter that marked the official founding of the town as a trading center. In 1796, the Reykjavík Cathedral was consecrated. Prior to 1880, the year when a Danish trade monopoly over Iceland officially ended, Iceland’s trading rights were limited to Danish Crown subjects. After 1880, local industries helped to promote Icelandic merchant influence, and Reykjavik became the primary port for Icelandic commerce. World War II Allied powers, in particular British warships, occupied Reykjavik following Germany’s invasion of Denmark & Norway, April 9, 1940. Allied presence (British and later American) was actually beneficial during the Second World War. The British built Reykjavík Airport, while the Americans built Keflavík Airport. Establishing the country as a republic and a parliamentary democracy, the Constitution of Iceland was adopted on June 17, 1944. Reykjavik hosted the 1972 World Chess Championship between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky. In 1986, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met at the Reykjavík Summit, a catalyst to the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Iceland’s capital and largest city, Reykjavík is home to around 140,000 “Reykvíkingurs”. Over 60% of Iceland’s population lives in Reykjavik. One of the world’s cleanest and safest cities, Reykjavik is surrounded by a variety of natural landscapes to include fissures, lava fields, volcanoes, countryside, canyons, mountain ranges, nature preserves, forest trails, thermal baths, geothermal geysers, waterfalls and islands. Reykjavik’s tallest building is Hallgrímskirkja at 244 feet. Bars typically remain open until about 4:30 AM on the weekends and 1 AM on the weekdays. Home to a subpolar oceanic climate, Reykjavik experiences cool summers and relatively mild winters. July summer highs average just below 59 °F, while January winter highs average just below 38 °F. The record low is -12.1 °F whereas the record high is 78.3 °F. Reykjavik experiences nearly-permanent daylight from about mid-May to late-July, and nearly-permanent darkness from early-December through early-January. Local foods include hangikjöt (smoked lamb), skyr (cultured dairy product), kleinur (fried dough), laufabrauð (traditional Christmas bread), bollur (pastry) and of course fish / seafood,. Iceland’s signature distilled spirit is brennivín (“Black Death” – clear, unsweetened schnapps). Other popular alcoholic drinks are vodka and Icelandic beer (predominately lager). With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Reykjavik accommodations that will help make for a uniquely unforgettable experience.

Amsterdam’s most renowned football club is AFC Ajax, which plays at Johan Cruijff Arena on the city’s southeast side. One of the world’s most English-friendly cities, Amsterdam boasts a high English proficiency level. About 90% of the city’s population speaks English. Although Amsterdam’s population is generally considered friendly, one should nevertheless remain vigilant, especially in places around the red-light district. Be sure not to smoke cannabis, or drink alcohol, in public places, and stay out of bicycle paths. Apart from cannabis, also legal in Amsterdam are magic truffles (less-potent magic mushrooms) and prostitution. De Wallen, Amsterdam’s largest red-light district, is located at medieval city center. Otherwise neon-lit, De Wallen, with its canals, narrow alleys and bars, is worthy of at least a day-time stroll. While in the red-light district, one should not take pictures of sex workers or linger in front of brothel windows. Generally in Amsterdam, its best to keep your belongings secure and avoid chewing gum while speaking. During dinner, do not leave the table unnecessarily. Amsterdam’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Amsterdam accommodations are some of northern Europe’s best. Before we get to Amsterdam accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Dating as far back as 2750 BC, Neolithic and Roman artifacts (Beaker culture pottery & a granite grinding stone) have been discovered in Amstel river bedding beneath Amsterdam’s Damrak and Rokin areasBy about 1000 BC, farmers are believed to have settled along the IJ River. However, a catastrophic event in 1170 AD known as the All Saints’ Flood overflowed large parts of Northern Netherlands and Holland territories. In essence, the flood was responsible for creating modern Amsterdam and its canals, while connecting the area to the open sea. The flood also shifted production from farming to trade. Amestelle was once a 13th-century dam on the Amstel River. During the Middle Ages’ Protestant Reformation, Amsterdam became a popular pilgrimage destination. Amsterdam began to flourish in the 14th century due largely to its trading with the Hanseatic League, a medieval network of merchant guilds and market towns. The Hanseatic League was cut-off in the 15th century, however, on account of a newly established Dutch trade route. Independent from the Hanseatic League, this Baltic Sea trade route guided grain and timber ships. Also around this time, demand for herring spread across Europe. Amsterdam benefitted from its innovations in the the herring fishery, along with its capacity for handling bulk cargo. Moreover, in 1415, on-board gibbing (process of preparing salt herring) and the haringbuis (seagoing fishing vessel) inventions gave the Dutch a monopoly on the herring trade. There is a saying, “Amsterdam is built on Herring bones”, which derives from the city’s transcontinental herring trade system. This trade system helped pave the way for what would become the Dutch Golden Age. In the late-16th century, however, the Spanish-Hapsburg monarchy took control of “The Low Countries”, or Netherlands. The Eighty Years’ War, also known as the Dutch Revolt, was caused by new taxations and religious persecution of Protestants. The war resulted in Dutch independence from Spain. Fleeing from Catholic-Spain’s religious inquisitions, Iberian Peninsula Jews, French Protestant Huguenots and prosperous merchants and printers from Flanders found refuge in Amsterdam. The Dutch Golden Age was revived, and reached its peak, during the 17th century. Amsterdam became the Western world’s wealthiest city. The Dutch East & West India Companies, together spanning almost the entire world, acquired vast overseas possessions. Thus, the Dutch colonial empire was established. Trading its own shares, Amsterdam’s Dutch East India office became the world’s first stock exchange in 1602. The Bank of Amsterdam, which served as a full-service bank and reserve bank for Dutch merchant bankers, was founded circa 1609. Amsterdam was involved in the Atlantic slave trade during the 17th century. The city’s port was a major destination for Dutch slave ships. Amsterdam declined to its lowest level during the 18th and early-19th centuries on account of the Napoleonic Wars. Holland was absorbed into the French Empire. However, a new pseudo-Golden Age ensued in 1815 with the establishment of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Museums, railway systems and a concert hall were constructed, and the Amsterdam–Rhine and North Sea canals were dug. The canals provided Amsterdam with unprecedented nautical access to mainland Europe, as well as the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. During World War I. Amsterdam suffered from food shortages. After the First World War the city recovered and even expanded until May 10, 1940, when Nazi Germany invaded and took control of the Netherlands. During Nazi occupation, Anne Frank hid in the “Secret Annex ” at the back of her father Otto’s business premises on the Prinsengracht canal, but ultimately was discovered and sent off to concertation camps. Akin to the First World War, Amsterdam’s food, and also fuel, supplies were scarce by the end of World War II. Sugar beets, tulip bulbs and even cats and dogs were cooked to a pulp and consumed for survival purposes. On May 5, 1945, Canadian forces liberated Amsterdam. Although prostitution has existed in De Wallen (red-light district) since around 1270, the area’s red-lit windows date to the 1960s. Thriving to this day, the city’s cannabis coffee shops started appearing in the 1970s. Amsterdam’s first coffee shop, Mellow Yellow, opened in 1972. Amsterdam’s first skyscraper, Rembrandt Tower, was completed in 1994. Amsterdam prostitution was formally legalized in 2000. Around 10 million people visited Amsterdam in 2012. Five years later, annual visitation eclipsed 17 million people.

The Netherlands’ capital and most populous municipality, Amsterdam today is home to around 850,000 “Amsterdammers”. Over 60 miles of canals, 1,500 bridges and nearly 90 islands help inspire the city’s nickname, Venice of the North, where houseboats are commonplace. Amsterdam’s canals undoubtedly served as inspiration for two of the city’s most famous inhabitants, Rembrandt and Vincent Van Gogh. Not far south of Amsterdam Centraal Station is De Wallen. Amsterdam’s cruise port is located on the IJ River also near Amsterdam Centraal Station. Cruise lines operating in Amsterdam include Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises and MSC Cruises. Schiphol Airport often ranks as Europe’s third-busiest airport.  Amsterdam’s tallest buildings are Rembrandt Tower (492 feet) and Mondriaan Tower (403 feet). Several publicly-traded companies have based their European headquarters in Amsterdam. Defined by an oceanic climate, Amsterdam experiences moderate, sometimes hot, summers and fairly mild winters. August summer high temperatures average just over 72°F, while January winters stay just above 43°F. Snowfall typically is minimal. Additional points of interest are Dam Square, Grachtengordel (historic district – 17th-century canals, architecture), Keizersgracht canal, Reguliersgracht canal, Rembrandtplein (square), Hortus Botanicus (botanical garden), Eye Filmmuseum, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam,  H’ART MuseumRoyal Theater Carré, Stadsschouwburg (theater), Royal Concertgebouw (concert hall),  Zuidas (business district), Euronext AmsterdamWesterkerk (Protestant church) and University of AmsterdamLocal foods include herring, cod, kibbeling (battered fish), stamppot (mashed potatoes mixed with vegetables), Gouda cheese, Dutch pancakes (thinner, crepe-like – topped with fruit), stroopwafel (wafer cookie), oliebol (fried dough) and rijsttafel (Indonesian-inspired array of small plates). Keep in mind that a frituur (aka friterie, frietkot, frite) is a fast food restaurant that specializes in fries. Popular drinks are vodka, jenever (juniper-flavored liquor), advocaat (eggnog-like, brandy-infused custard) and lager beer. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Amsterdam accommodations that will help make for an exciting trip.

Dublin accommodations

Dublin accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “The Fair City”.

Across the Irish Sea and past the Isle of Man is the English city of Liverpool. Flowing through central Dublin, the 80-mile long River Liffey rises at the Liffey Head Bog in the Wicklow Mountains and empties into Dublin Bay. Not far south of city-center, the Dublin Mountains’  Kippure peak rises to 2,484 feet above sea level.

Dublin’s professional football clubs are Shamrock Rovers, St. Patrick’s Athletic and Bohemian FC, while its rugby team is Leinster Rugby. Modern Dublin evolved from a Viking settlement and was once home to the literary masters James Joyce, William Butler Yeats and Oscar Wilde. Although Ireland’s national and first official language is Gaelic, English is used predominately in government business and legislative debate. English should get you by just fine, but knowing some Irish slang might be useful: “jacks” (toilet),  “go ‘way outta that” (stop that), “ask me bollocks” (f-off), “bleedin’ banjaxed” (wrecked), “state da ya” (you are an idiot), “ger-yup-ow-ra-da” (also an f-off), “black stuff” (Guinness), “deadly” (brilliant/great), “earwigging” (eavesdropping), “fair play” (well done), “fine thing” (good looking), “fluthered” (very drunk), “gas” (funny), “gawk” (stare rudely), “howya” (hi), “how’s she cuttin'” (how are you), “craic” (pleasant conversation), etc. 10-15% gratuity is customary in restaurants. Dublin’s currency is the Euro, cars travel on the left-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Dublin accommodations are some of the United Kingdom’s best. Before we get to Dublin accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Archaeological evidence suggests that humans have inhabited the Dublin-area since at least the Neolithic period, as excavations at Convention Centre Dublin unearthed 6,000 BC fish traps. Greco-Roman astronomer and cartographer Ptolemy was first to reference Dublin in writing circa 140 AD. Ptolemy’s manuscript Geography references the Dublin-area settlement as Eblana polis. The Irish government recognizes the year 988 AD as the city’s first official settlement.  Prior to 988, an 841 AD Viking settlement known as Dyflin was established. Even before the Vikings, an Anglo-Saxon settlement is thought to have exited, as evidenced by an archaeological site at Temple Bar. Dyflin harbored Viking ships at a pool on the River Poddle’s lowest stretch. The pool, however, was fully infilled during the early-18th century.  The early Viking settlement included a fortified base. By the 11th century, a significant commercial center had developed as instituted under Irish-Viking leader Olaf Guthfrithson. Ireland’s last High King was Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair (reign 1166-1198). The late-12th century Norman Invasion of Ireland resulted in England’s claiming of sovereignty over Ireland. Earl of Pembroke, Strongbow conquered Leinster, to include Dublin, circa 1170. The following year, however, Henry II of England overtook Ireland with an even larger invasion. Henry II pronounced himself Lord of Ireland, and the county of the City of Dublin was established. Slave-trading would become a major economic contributor for England-controlled Ireland. King John of England ordered the building of Dublin Castle in 1204. Dublin Castle served to safeguard the city, administer justice and protect the King’s treasure. In 1229, the first Lord Mayor of Dublin was appointed. Around this time, the city’s population had reached about 8,000. The 1348 Black Death killed thousands. During the late-15th century, a narrow strip of English settlement under English Crown control became known  as the Pale. 16th-century Tudor-influence placed Dublin as Ireland’s administrative center. Queen Elizabeth I founded Trinity College in 1592 in an attempt to make the city predominately Protestant. In 1610, John Speed drew the city’s first map. Plague struck again in 1649, and nearly half of the city’s population perished. After the plague had subsided, the population rived with help from the wool and linen trade. Georgian Dublin thrived during the 18th century. Dublin became the British Empire’s second-largest city for a brief time. In 1759, the Guinness brewery was founded. The Guinness brewery became the world’s largest brewery, as well as Dublin’s largest employer. Political and economic decline occurred during the 19th century as a consequence of the Acts of Union 1800. Widespread destruction ensued by way of the Easter Rising of 1916, the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent Irish Civil War. The Irish Free State was established in December 1921. During the Troubles, the May 17, 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings killed 33 people and an unborn child, and injured 258. Also during the 70s, a recession caused a decline in population. Known as Celtic Tiger, a prosperous period occurred from the  mid-1990s to the late-2000s, fueled largely by foreign investment.

Ireland’s capital and largest city, Dublin is home to around 1.1 million “Dubliners”, who are known to be quite friendly. Spanning about 45 square miles, Dublin is bordered by the Dublin Mountains (southward – Wicklow Mountains low mountain range / sub range), flat farmland (north/westward) and the Irish Sea (eastward). The Gaelic word dubh linn means “black pool” . dubh linn once referenced the point at which the Poddle Stream breached the River Liffey. Near present-day Dublin Castle, this breach point once formed a deep pool. Dublin marks Ireland’s national government seat, or Oireachtas. Standing at 269 feet, College Square is slated to be the city’s tallest building. Dublin’s cruise terminal is located at Berth 18 in Dublin Port. Cruise lines operating at Dublin Port include Royal Caribbean, Dublin Bay Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Carnival Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and MSC Cruises. Of course, tourism is a major economic contributor, with Dublin receiving around 9 million visitors per year. Fair City was once home to literary giants Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) and James Joyce (1882-1941), respectfully, who are memorialized by city statues. Defined by a maritime climate, Dublin experiences warm summers and mild winters. Summer high temperatures average around 60 °F, while winter highs stay around 40 °F. Snowfall is rare. Additional points of interest include The Brazen Head, The Temple Bar Pub and 3Arena. Local foods include Irish stew, coddle (sausage, potatoes, other ingredients), colcannon (mashed potato, cabbage or kale), Boxty Pancakes, black and white pudding, soda bread and barmbrack (raisin bread – Halloween). Popular drinks are Guinness, whiskey, Irish cream and cider. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for Dublin accommodations that will help make for an outstanding experience.

London is home to multiple professional football clubs. Winners of 13 English Football Championships, 14 FA Cups and 17 FA Community Shields, Arsenal F.C. plays at Emirates Stadium on the city’s north side. Not far behind in success, Chelsea F.C., which plays at Stamford Bridge in South West London’s upscale Fulham neighborhood, has won 6 English Championships, 8 FA Cups, 5 EFL Cups and 2 UEFA Champions League titles. Additional London professional football clubs are Tottenham Hotspur F.C.West Ham United F.C. (London Stadium), Crystal Palace F.C. and Fulham F.C.. Good to know in London is that places such as Oxford Street and Leicester Square can get crowded at times. Most museums are free and are least-busy on weekdays or nights. At least a day or two of exploring on foot is advisable, so it might be best to pack sneakers. Also recommended at least once is a ride on the second deck of a bus through your favorite spot. A good navigational app to use in London is citymapper. On underground subway escalators, make sure to stand to the right. London currency is the British Pound, cars travel on the left-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. A tourist might spend about £150 per day in London on average. London accommodations are some of the United Kingdom’s best. Before we get to London accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.

Discovered upstream from Vauxhall Bridge in 1993, timber from a Bronze Age bridge has been radiocarbon dated to somewhere between 1750–1285 BC. Meanwhile, downstream from Vauxhill Bridge, the foundation of a large timber structure dating to 4800-4500 BC was unearthed in 2010. Roman London became the area’s first major settlement in 47 AD following a Roman invasion four years prior. In 61 AD, Queen Boudica of the Iceni tribe stormed the Roman settlement and razed it to the ground. However, the Roman’s retook and rebuilt the area, with Londinium becoming the Roman province of Britannia’s principal city by 100 AD. Roman rule collapsed in the early 5th century, when the walled city of Londinium became abandoned. Known as Lundenwic, an Anglo-Saxon settlement developed just west of the old Roman city around 500 AD. Viking attacks, beginning in 851 AD, brought decline in what had again become a relatively major port. Around this time, London fell under Danelaw. Laws of the Danes presided, with the Danish warlord Guthrum ruling over East Angles from London to Chester. Danelaw was agreed upon between Guthrum and the West Saxon king Alfred the Great. Alfred retook London from the Vikings circa 886, as recorded by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. This “rebuilding” of Londinium saw to Lundenwic’s  abandonment, and the revival of life and trade within the old Roman walls. Westminster Abbey was founded in 959 AD as a monastery dedicated to Saint Peter. William the Conquerer, in 1066 after winning the Battle of Hastings, was crowned King of England. Thereafter, William went on to build the Tower of London. In the mid-14th century, The Black Death brought carnage to nearly a third of the city. The 1361 Peasants’ Revolt resulted in the sacking of the Tower of London, mass execution of royal officials, charters being granted to rebel towns, and a subsequent rebel suppression / execution of rebel leaders. Prior to being expelled by Edward I (Edward Longshanks) in 1290, England’s Jewish population had been centered in London. A gradual shift to Protestantism occurred during the Tudor “Reformation” period, at which time much of London property passed from church to private ownership. With The Royal Exchange‘s founding in the 16th century, monopoly traders such as the East India Company expanded trade to the New World. In 1599 during the period of English Renaissance theatre, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage built the Globe Theatre, in which the Lord Chamberlain’s Men were rehoused, and William Shakespeare wrote many of his most famous plays. The 5th of November, 1605 Gunpowder Plot was an unsuccessful regicide attempt against King James I by a group of English Catholics, including the popularized Guy Fawkes. Eight plotters were sentenced to hanging and drawn and quartering. Beginning in August 1642, the English Civil War between Parliamentarians and Royalists resulted in a Parliamentarian victory, the execution of Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England. Tragic events occurred during the 17th century by way of the Great Plague and Great Fire of London. The Bow Street Runners, London’s first professional police force, was established in 1750 to fight rampant crime. Starting with George II in 1762, Buckingham House grew over the next 75 years into Buckingham Palace. In the early-19th century, Fleet Street became a center of the British press, around which time the Royal Navy became the world’s leading war fleet. Urbanization occurred during the Industrial Revolution. Teashops were founded on “High Streets” during the early-20th century. During the First and Second World Wars, London was bombed by the Germans via Blitzkriegs, or “lightning war”. Wembley Stadium hosted the 1948 Olympics. From the 1970s into the 1990s, bomb attacks occurred in London as a consequence of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom’s capital and largest city, London today is home to nearly 9 million “Londoners”. London’s most affluent neighborhoods include Kensington and Chelsea. The West End is a place to find entertainment and shopping areas. London boasts multiple Christmas markets at locations to include Hyde Park, Covent Garden and Southbank Centre. 42 of the city’s skyscrapers exceed 492 feet in height, with The Shard rising highest at 1,016 feet. A top European destination, London operates one of the world’s busiest airport systems. Heathrow Airport alone handles around 84 million passengers annually, while The Big Smoke itself accommodates around 20 million people per year. Over 300 languages are spoken in London. Defined by a temperate oceanic climate, London experiences warm / hot summers and cool winters. July summer high temperatures average around 75 °F, while January winter highs average about 46 °F. Rain falls roughly 33% of the year, with October typically being the rainiest month. Although heavy snow is rare, snowfall does occur during winter. Additional points of interest include Piccadilly Circus (road junction / public space – digital billboards, theaters, restaurants, shopping), St Margaret’s WestminsterCanary Wharf, London Stock ExchangeLondon St Pancras International, Victoria Coach Station, University of London, Imperial College London, London School of Economics, King’s College London, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Royal Observatory, Greenwich, Harrods, Sherlock Holmes Museum, Odeon Cinema and Abbey Road Studios. Local foods include fish and chips, bangers and mash, English breakfast, Sunday roast, chicken tikka masala, roast duck, scones, crumpets and sticky puddling.
