The A to Z guide for Vienna
Review of Vienna (Austria) by
Michael-S
Advantages: Great city for a weekend break or even more
Disadvantages: can be quite hot in summer
...The Donauturm (Danube Tower) is located close to the Danube river, and it was built for an international gardening exhibition in 1964. You can take the lift to overlook Vienna from a restaurant which is slowly turning around 360 degrees whilst you are eating. However, the food is not very good and the prices are high.
E Ephesos Museum
Located in the Neue Burg in the city centre, this museum displays a lot of items which are the result of Austrian archaeologists‘ acitivity in Ephesos over the past 100 years. The bronze statue Athlete of Ephesos is well known.
F Fine Arts Museum
Probably the most important museum in Vienna is the Fine Arts Museum (Kunsthistorisches Museum) located in a large historic building within walking distance from the city centre.
You’ll find there Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman Art as well as a huge collection...

Visit the Sex Museum!
Review of Amsterdam in general by
pehchiong
Advantages: Eye opening museum, you wont get bored
Disadvantages: It's a bit cramped
...What an interesting and unique this museum is! I rate it as one of the best around. Although from the front of the museum it looks like a shop lot but you will be surprise at how many materials they have got inside there. Some of them even got special effects. Visitors to Amsterdam must surely visit this museum apart from the normal Van Gogh museum or the diamond industry. There are so many artifacts and an entire history of sex dating back to as old as ancient China which is surprisingly interesting to know. We spent like 3 hours inside there, browsing through every single article that is on display. It really worth the Dutch guilders that you are paying to enter this museum. Do visit this museum the next time you are in Amsterdam....

BELGRADE- A HEART OF SERBIA III
Review of Kalemegdan, Belgrade by
barefoot777
Advantages: easy to find
Disadvantages: always full of people
...The most beautiful and biggest park in Belgrade is Kalemegdan Park, which is also the most important cultural and historical complex, in which the Belgrade Fortress stands high above the Sava and Danube confluence. The name Kalemegdan applies only to the spacious plateau surrounding the Fortress, which was turned into a park in the eighties of the XIX century. Its name derives from the Turkish words kale (field) and megdan (battle). The Turks also called it Fichir-bair, which means "the contemplation hill". Kalemegdan now includes the Military Museum, Cvijeta Zuzorić Art Pavilion, City Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments, Zoo, a children's amusement park, a large number of sports fields, restaurants…There's an ancient urban story living through years now, that under Kalemegdan Park there are old Roman tunnels, (places...
