Best Budget Cities for a Romantic Getaway

by admin on February 2, 2010

The HostelsClub philosophy this Valentine’s Day is that a romantic weekend does not have to be expensive or about how much you spend, but who and where you spend it at. Check out the Top 10 list:

Romance

1. Venice – No other city has more beautiful alleyways, foot bridges and scenery for couples in love. Picture this: narrow streets, small cafes and restaurants galore, canals and gondoliers singing just for you. The Venice Gondola Tour is the most romantic way to make declaration of love. Then in the evening you can go in the middle of St. Mark’s square and soak up the live classical concerts and the atmosphere of the city. While many consider Venice to be expensive, there are beds in Venice as low as 25€!

Las Vegas is Not All About Gambling

by admin on January 29, 2010

Though New Years is over, the party is just beginning in the City of Sin. Las Vegas, home to the Pyramids, as well as Lady Liberty herself, has become a playground for the rich and famous as well as to those who simply want to get away. It is recommended one comes with a pocket full of change, but if one can turn a blind eye to the cries of the slots and keep their chips from the tables, there are still a multitude of sinful (or not so sinful) acts one can partake in.

Vegas

For the young or young-at-heart, head on over to the M & M Factory as well as the Coca Cola Factory for a 3D show, and get your fill for every color m & m made or sodas from around the world- This is right around the entrance of the MGM Resort and Casino. Besides holding many ancient artifacts from ancient Egyptian royalty, Luxor also houses the Bodies Museum, in which one can get up close and personal with the many systems within us all. Intellectuals with weak stomachs could pop next door into the Titanic museum and buy themselves a piece of American history.

While the world is becoming smaller and smaller and traveling has become as easy as a few clicks, outer space is getting larger and larger. NASA is always a step ahead with the latest technologies and in July 2009 one of the world’s most powerful telescopes was launched to explore faint light from distant parts of the universe from a volcano top in Las Palmas of the Canary Islands. This took twelve years from the planning phase to the launch and involved a thousand people and 100 companies. Now there is a new larger, more potent one being planned for launch in 2014 called the James Webb Space Telescope which will be able to connect the Milky Way to our own solar system visually.

A Local’s Tips on Visiting Chicago

by admin on January 27, 2010

Second City, deep dish pizza, and the Cubs can all call the Windy City their home… as well anyone who wants to visit. Of all the major cities in America, Chicago provides that home feeling, where everyone is welcome. Maybe it’s the range of diversity, the clarity in their newscaster accents, or the fact that everyone is genuinely nice.

Once exhausted the Magnificent Mile for a high end-shopping experience, take a ride on the El to one of the over 75 different villages that make up Chicago. Vintage stores, antique shops, and unique boutiques line the many streets for anyone’s budget. Quirky finds in Belmont, everyone’s go-to stores in Lincoln Park, and affordable antiques from around the world can be found at a Rogers Park original. Shopping is not only a hobby in this city of pizzazz but an opportunity to stumble upon items one realizes they couldn’t possibly go on without.
