Advantages: Fascinating Walkway through Medieval Dubrovnik Disadvantages: Can be Hard Work in July and August
and dreamt of all the places I would visit when I was grown up. Dubrovnik was always my favourite city and still is to this day.
For most visitors coming to Dubrovnik, the OldTown and the Stradun, the main thoroughfare, will be the first destination on their hit list.
If travelling by bus, the walk form the bus station takes around 30 minutes to the walls of the OldTown and the Stradun. It is a steep hike and can be quite tiring in the July heat but the walk is pleasant enough with views of the ocean on the right as you approach the OldTown.
The sweeping Stradun, also known as Placa, is Dubrovnik's main thoroughfare, cutting a pedestrian walkway straight through the Old City. Formed when the narrow channel that seperated the Slavic settlement of Dubrovnik on the mainland from the Roman settlement on the island of Raus was filled in ...
Advantages: Free parking and no entrance fee. Disadvantages: You have to pay for each ride.
Everyone does Disney, SeaWorld, and Universal, when they go to the Orlando area. This can be very costly, especially for a family.
Fancy a cheap few hours out, then go to OldTown in Kissimmee. You can't miss it. It has the Ferris wheel at the entrance, and that's how we would give directions. Not only can you see this on U.S.192 but it now has the 'Sling Shot' too. Two brightly illuminated towers stretching up in the air 365 feet. If you are brave enough to do this ride it will cost you $25 (13 pounds 85 pence). However, just look in any of the coupon books, dozens around in shops, restaurants, etc, and you will get either $5 off or a free T-Shirt . Recently they have put two more scary rides at the front of OldTown to entice people in
If you are into crazy rides of a lifetime there is also 'Skycoaster'. This is advertised as ...
Advantages: Beautiful Xmas Market, Great Personal Memories Disadvantages: Crowded
When I was booking a weekend away for my girlfriend and myself to Prague, I have to admit to not knowing a lot about the city and what it had to offer. I had heard of the Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square but one place that will always hold great memories for me is the OldTown Square.
Situated on the Eastern banks of the river Vltava, the area of Stare Mestro is the traditional heart of Prague and at its middle is this wonderful town square. Now, had I visited at another time of year then I think that my review would be quite short and of little interest as the square, based on what I have read, for the majority of the year is a pleasant but large expanse of empty space. On its sides you will find the fascinating Astronomical clock that is sure to draw a crowd, particularly on the hour, the Tyn Church that among other things is ...
