35 Things to do in Chicago | Top Attractions Travel Guide
The following travel video is a comprehensive list of the best 35 Things to do in Chicago including all of the top Attractions worth visiting and seeing in this complete travel guide for the Windy City.
Many people don't realize this but Chicago is a world class city with festivals, arts, entertainment, dining and architecture that can rival any city in North America or even Europe. The only other city that I think can compare with Chicago - in terms of attractions - in America is New York. Whether you're scarfing down Chicago style deep dish pizza or taking in a Blues festival you'll find no shortage of things to do in the city. If you're a sport fan there are no shortage of professional teams to follow at any time of the year including the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bears and the Chicago Bulls. When you're thinking of destination to travel to in the United States, Chicago should be near the top of your list. I guarantee that you'll have a lot of fun:

20 Things to do in Florence, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (FIRENZE)
Florence: when it comes to Renaissance art, there’s probably no better city in the world to soak it all in!
Our time here was spent viewing works by Italian masters both in museums and public spaces, marvelling at the architecture - in particular Florence Cathedral and its massive dome, going in search of the best lookout points, and eating plenty of pizza & gelato sharing the best things to do in Florence on your visit.
We paid 15 Euros for a ticket that gave us access to 5 attractions associated with Florence Cathedral. Giotto’s Campanile, the bell tower stands 84.7 metres with 414 steps.
We made our way over to our next attraction: the Baptistry. Known as both the Florence Baptistry and the Baptistry of Saint John.
We continued to Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which is a museum dedicated to conserving artworks relating to Florence Cathedral.
It was time to climb the dome of Florence Cathedral. We ate our gelato at Grom and it was delicious.
The Uffizi Gallery is considered one of the best museums in the world focusing on the Italian Renaissance. Most of the art collection you see today was gifted to the city of Florence by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress.
From Uffizi Gallery you get some pretty cool views of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River from a higher vantage point.
We visited in Florence was Piazza della Signoria, an L-shaped square right in the heart of the city. A landmark in this square is Palazzo Vecchio or the Town Hall. And to the right of this building, you have the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Speaking of David, we did find him, over at Galleria dell’Accademia. Michelangelo’s David depicts the Biblical David carved out of a single block of marble.
Ponte Vecchia during the 16th century that one of the Medici ordered for the butcher shops to be replaced with jewellers.
When it comes to sunset in Florence, there are no better views than from Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the historic center on the other side of the Arno River.
This indoor market is foodie central with the second floor of the market is filled with eateries. Central Market is a great place to pick up ingredients to bring back to your kitchen.
We hope you enjoyed this Florence travel guide and that it gave you ideas of things to do.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

The secrets of the pickpockets - Barcelona
Legendas em Português, Inglês e Espanhol! Clique no ícone no canto do controle do vídeo.
Con subtítulo!
With subtltles!
TV program about the secrets of the pickpockets in Barcelona and Benidorm, Spain. No copyright infringement intended. This video is being shared to make people aware of the scams, and know how to avoid them. Another reason for uploading this video is to make the law makers in Spain know how serious the issue is, and hopefully change the ridiculous law that protects pickpockets that stills less than €400. A pickpocket in Spain can only be detained if caught stealing more than €400 or have many repeat offences. If they are caught with less than € 400 they will only receive a fine and leave, and will be free to rob tourists again. At the moment, the only solution for the tourists is to protect themselves from the thieves using a few techniques explained in this video.
Os segredos dos batedores de carteira em Barcelona, Espanha. Este é um programa de TV passado no canal 4 inglês. Este vídeo está sendo compartilhado para que as pessoas conheçam os truques e como evitá-los. Este vídeo mostra os truques aplicados nos turistas, e como a lei espanhola impede que os ladrões sejam presos, se forem pegos com menos de 400 euros. Portanto, é preciso saber como se proteger dos ladrões, usando umas técnicas mostradas neste vídeo. Algumas são de senso comum, mas os produtores colocaram os truques mais comuns com bom humor e praticidade.
What To Do In The Hague
WHAT TO DO IN THE HAGUE - Visiting The Hague was full of surprises. I only knew it as the location of the International Criminal Court but there is so much more to see! It was a day of discovering all that The Hague has to offer.
We took the train from Rotterdam for a day trip to The Hague. We started our visit at Mauritshuis, a museum with a collection bursting with paintings by Dutch masters. We saw Rembrandt’s The Anatomy Lesson, which is much larger than I thought it’d be. I had no idea he was only twenty-five when he painted this world-famous masterpiece in 1632. I can remember learning about it as a kid in school. The most famous painting in the museum, however, is Vermeer’s The Girl With A Pearl Earring. Before arriving in The Hague I didn’t know it was here! Arguably one of the most recognizable paintings in the entire world, it’s even more incredible in real life. Vermeer has been called the master of light and, when you see this painting, you immediately understand why. The girl has an inscrutable expression on her face, which reminds me of the Mona Lisa. Her eyes follow you as you walk back and forth across the room. To me it feels very contemporary even though it was painted in 1665. Seeing this was not only a highlight of The Hague but The Netherlands overall.
After Mauritshuis we headed to a gallery with a totally different artwork: Escher in Het Palais. It’s a gallery entirely devoted to the work of artists and graphic designer M.C. Escher. The building itself is part of the attraction because it’s the former winter palace of Queen Mother Emma of The Netherlands. Escher is well-known for his drawings that require a second look. He really plays with reality and it was interesting to see the progression of his art.
After seeing such different types of art we headed to the International Criminal Court. I couldn’t have visited The Hague without making a visit here because, to me, they’re inseparable. It’s a place where individuals who have been charged with genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity - the gravest of charges - come to be tried by the international community. There are public galleries where you can go and listen to open sessions to see what’s going on. There’s also an exhibition about the history of the ICC: why it exists, what it does, when it was formed, who it’s funded by, and who it serves. We learned a lot and I’m glad I got to see it.
Next we arrived at the pier - just in time for magic hour as the sun was going down. Everyone in The Netherlands told us that the beach and pier in The Hague is fabulous and a really popular spot, especially in the warmer months. There’s a large Ferris wheel, hotels, restaurants, shops, and lots of activities for children and families. It was lovely to see this other side of the city and enjoy the fresh sea breeze.
We were hungry and looking forward to a cozy dinner and a chance to warm up after spending the day looking around. We found exactly what we were looking for at Jamey Bennet, back in the city centre. The idea is that you order a bunch of plates and share them. Everything was delicious but our favourites were the ceviche, salmon sashimi and dessert. There was a fire and having a long leisurely dinner was the perfect way to top off the day.
I had such a great time visiting The Hague and loved discovering all the wonderful things you find there. So happy we got to see it all! Did anything take you by surprise? Leave a comment below and tell me!

Primavera en Canadá | Un Típico Fin de Semana en Casa
Finalmente llegó la primavera a Canadá y en este video les mostramos como es un típico fin de semana por estas partes. Teníamos varios trabajitos que hacer por la casa así que no hubo mucho descanso, pero así es cuando uno pasa de invierno a primavera. Les mostramos el nuevo deck que construimos en el patio con Home Renovision DIY, donde llevamos a Togo cuando necesita un baño, como cambiamos las ruedas de invierno por las de verano, y otros trabajitos que hay que hacer por la casa. También respondemos la gran pregunta que muchos nos hacen cuando filmamos en nuestro vecindario, ¿por qué no hay gente en la calle? En fin, un video un poco inusual, pero ya regresamos pronto con más videos de cocina.

11 Things that will SHOCK YOU about Guadalajara, Mexico
Before coming to Guadalajara, we never expected some of the weird, awesome, and crazy things here.
►Get perks on PATREON:
Any new place you visit is going to have aspects that are unexpected, strange, cool, or just plain bizarre. It comes with the territory when traveling. As Americans in Mexico, the same thing happened when we came to Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
After living in Guadalajara, Mexico for about 2 months as expats, we started to reflect on the things that shocked us about the city in today's Guadalajara vlog. Some of these are even more general and we consider surprising things about Mexico that seem to ring true no matter what city we've been to.
If you're pondering, should I move to Guadalajara or what it's like in Mexico, this video will hopefully give you an inside look at some of the quirks we've noticed about the city. As we mention in the video, they're not all bad. Some of them are amazing aspects that we really love. It's all part of what it's like in Guadalajara, Mexico.
