EuroOut – travel in Europe

Nürnberg – nice place in Germany. Take a good map in Tourist Center and follow major sights, as for the most interesting and unique – it is probably Train museum (near Main Train station) and very large (3 floors) toys museum.

Very Big Train Museum in Nürnberg, just near train station - must visit place!

Nürnberg Old City - is beautiful, just to walk it would take about 1 hour

Guess what is it? It is metro station - pay attention to the U sign

It seems we need a new category – gadgets – software and tools that help to make your trip better.

The service to be reviewed today is TripIt, in short what they do:

• You send to special email address all reservations you have (including hotel, plane reservation, car rent);
• The service automatically parse that information and get it into your online account;
• What benefits? I have not tried it myself yet, but at glance: they are putting all the data on one page, they will show you weather conditions for the places you go, they will show you some important information (not sure what exactly), the service will allow to share this travel plan with your friends or family and finally, using their system you can collaborate with colleagues and plan trip together.

For those who like IT gadgets – you should try it! Some reviews are in PC Words and NY Times. Po

Visiting Venice is probably on the most exiting experience in Italy. To these who have never been there:

• Venice is of the most beautiful and romantic places in the worlds, that is probably one of the reasons, why hotels in Venice are VERY expensive

• there are just two big parking in the beginning of the Venice island, people move there only by boats

So the logical thing to do would be stay in some town near Venice and combine – visiting sights of interest in Venice with swimming and taking sun bases on the beach.

Staying in Hotel Excelsior in Lido di Jesolo:

PROs:

• hotel is located near Venice;
• large and secure parking;
• direct access to sea sandy beach; or swimming pool (about 25 m) in case of bad weather;
• they have cook (even two, I think) who prepares delicious food!

CONs:

• actually, there was only good experience from the hotel itself
• people in Lido di Jesolo, as in any Italian city, have a “siesta”, so from 14-00 to 16-00 it is hard to find place to have a dinner, so better have dinner at the hotel

You will find in this post the review of best places for roller skating in Prague.

• “Inline” or “roller” – skating seems to be synonyms, if someone knows the difference, please, post in comments.

Nice place for rollers and great views.

1. Letná. Park with great views on Prague, nice place for rollers too. To get there go the the Sparta or  Letenské náměstí tram station.

2. Right bank of Vltava, near Vyšehrad – get to the tram station Podolská vodárna and roll along the river (south direction).  Or station Výtoň, but you will need to walk a little to the good surface.

3. Ladronka: the park place between Vypich and the Strahov television tower. Get there by tram to the Vypich tram station.

4. Stromovka. Near Lentá, to get there go to the tram station Výstaviště

Some useful information about renting places can be found in this post.
