20 Things to do in Venice, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (VENEZIA ITALIA):
We’re taking you on a whirlwind tour of Venice in winter visiting the famed Floating City. Join us as we show you the best things to see, do and eat in Venice.
The Vaporetto is Venice’s water bus service. The standard ticket is 7.50 Euros and valid for 60 minutes, the 1 day pass is 20 Euros and valid for 24 hours.
The most visited attraction in Venice: Piazza San Marco where there is quite a bit to see and do around the square beginning with St Mark’s Basilica.
St Mark’s Campanile, a tall brick bell tower was once used by approaching ships as a beacon to guide them home where you get great views of the city.
Then you have the Doge’s Palace, which was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the ruler of the former Republic of Venice built in the Venetian Gothic style.
Don't forget the Bridge of SIghs, whose name refers to the sighs of prisoners who would get their last glimpse of Venice as they were led from Doge's Palace to their cells.
Across to the other side of the Grand Canal, you have the Basilica of Saint Mary of Health and the Galleria dell’Accademia in case you’re in the mood for art.
A restaurant we really enjoyed La Zucca - a place where all the dishes are made with pumpkin! The Rialto Market specializes in produce and fresh seafood for self-catering.
Let’s talk about island hopping in Venice:
Founded in the 5th century, Torcello is even older than Venice and was the original settlement in the Venetian Lagoon with lots of walking paths, nature and Byzantine mosaics.
Burano is known for its lace work and brightly coloured homes with plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops to browse.
Mazzorbo island sits next to Burano and is connected by a bridge while being known for its vineyards and orchards.
Murano is renowned for its glass production dating back to 1291 when the glassmakers in Venice were forced to relocate by the Venetian government.
Lido is an 11-kilometre sandbar island that shelters the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea with beaches, lots of seaside homes, and this is also where the Venice Film Festival takes place.
A restaurant we liked in Venice is Osteria Mocenigo specializing in local cuisine. Try the “Sarde in saor” - a typical Venetian dish made with sardines.
While your vaporetto pass is valid ride the canals at night and watch the Floating City come to life.
We hope you enjoyed this Venice travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas for your own trip.

Tuscany Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Tuscany is a legendary region in central Italy that stretches from the Apennine Mountains to the west coast, meandering through endless vineyards, medieval towns and the impossibly beautiful cities of Florence, Siena and Pisa.
In today’s modern world, defined by alarm clocks, deadlines and traffic jams, Tuscany lures travelers with the promise of a warmer, gentler way of living.
Here, high art mingles deliciously with warm sunshine and fragrant wine. History seeps through the cobblestones and small occasions are transformed into the greatest of pleasures.
Around six hundred years ago, Tuscany changed the world forever when economic, cultural and political forces collided, sparking the Renaissance. It was a new way of thought in which art and education were highly prized and the search for happiness, a noble goal.
Although the world has changed much since then, Tuscany’s values hold firm and visitors to this region can happily spend days and weeks slowly rediscovering them.

Our visit Pula travel guide documentary covers some of the top attractions including a food guide to pizza, top sightseeing tourist attractions and the city by day including visiting castles, forts churches, the old town, roman ruins, theatres, beaches and along the marina. We also cover off-the-beaten-path outdoor activities you won't find in a typical Pula tourism brochure, Pula itinerary or Pula, Croatia city tour also known as Pola.
10 Things to do in Pula, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Pola)
Pula was our first introduction to Croatia and what a way to start! Located on the Istrian peninsula, this seaside town is home to Roman ruins, ancient temples, and some delicious pizza. The town won us over right from day one, so in this video, we’re going to take you on a tour of Pula and show you some of the highlights:
The amphitheatre was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, at the same time the Colosseum in Rome was going up. What’s even more shocking is how well preserved it is; this is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre with all four side towers and three stories still standing.
As a travel tip, if you visit during the summer months, you can catch numerous events at the amphitheatre, including concerts, movie screenings, and even reenactments of games from Ancient Rome.
When it comes to boat tours, the most popular destination is , a group of small islands that sit out on the Adriatic Sea.
The islands have a few archaeological and cultural sites but though admission to the park used to be free, these days you have to join one of the official excursions arranged by the park or local tourist agencies.
As for Pula Cathedral, it turns out it was closed when we tried to visit, so we can only show you the outside.
After all that wandering around town, it was finally time for lunch. We arrived at Jupiter Pizzeria just as they were opening and didn’t waste any time grabbing a seat on their outdoor terrace.
The fortress we spotted turned out to be Pula Castle, also known as Kaštel. Located atop a hill right in the centre of Pula, this fortress was built by the Venetians during the 17th century.
Admission was 20 kuna per person and there were two different museums exhibits to visit, however, we’d argue that the main draw are the views.
Over the course of the centuries, the Temple of Augustus has seen many uses from a Christian church to a grain storehouse, but at present, it houses a very small 1-room museum – and when we say small, we mean you can visit in 5 minutes!
The Roman Mosaic is just a short walk from the Forum, so it’s worth the little detour down back streets. This incredible well-preserved floor depicts the Punishment of Dirce, which is straight out of Greek mythology.

10 Things to do in Budva, Montenegro Travel Guide (Будва) Video Transcript:
Good morning good morning guys. Greetings from Budva, Montenegro. Budva! So this is our second stop in Montenegro. Yeah. We left Kotor behind and what was it like 30 or 40 minute bus ride. Yeah, ridiculously close. Yep. Probably our shortest travel day. Yeah. So far. And we're also really close to the Old Town. Like our apartment is a 15 minute walk. Yeah. So we've just walked down here and we're going to show you some different things you can in Budva in this travel guide. But first breakfast. Breakfast of course.
Budva is a popular resort town that sits on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, so we started the morning off with a walk along the harbour where you can see everything from little fishing boats to luxury yachts. Though Budva is very close to Kotor, it has a very different feel so we’re going to take you on a quick day tour of the city and show you what it’s all about.
Budva Old Town Beach may not be the prettiest to swim in, but you do get some nice views of the walled city with St. Ivan’s Church peeking above the fortifications, but now let’s continue up the coast.
If you keep walking west along the coast, you’ll first come across the Ballerina Statue, also nicknamed Yoga Girl, keep following that path and it’ll bring you to Mogren Beach and Mogren 2, which are a bit sandier and less pebbly than the beach in the Old Town.
The Old Town of Budva is situated on a rocky peninsula, with the citadel located on the southern tip of the city. There isn’t a lot of information about the site once you enter, but it’s worth the visit for the views of the Old Town alone.
And that’s pretty much it for our tour of Budva. As you can see, the Old Town is quite small and compact, so you could easily cover it in half a day if you only had time for a day trip. We hope you enjoyed this quick tour and we’ll see you in the next video!

Jersey Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia (4K)
100 miles from the coast of Britain and just 14 off the coast of France is Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands. Jersey is compact, making it easy to explore. Country lanes and walking trails lace the island, ensuring Jersey’s attractions are never far away.
After exploring the picture-perfect capital, St. Helier, head off to explore the island. Each of Jersey’s four coastlines has its own distinctive personality. Head eastward to La Hougue Bie, one of the world’s oldest buildings, and the port of Gorey, with its iconic medieval castle.
Be sure to take in a few sections of the North Coast Path, which offers some of the island’s most dramatic views. Then head south along the west coast to St. Ouen’s Bay, where surfers will find some of the island’s best waves and history buffs can explore the Channel Islands Military Museum. On the southern coast, don’t miss the sheltered sands of St. Brelade, the WW2 German command bunker at Noirmont Point, the tiny islet of Janvrin’s Tomb, and St. Aubin’s Fort.
While the coastline serves up Jersey’s finest views, the island’s interior offers plenty for visitors too, such as the Jersey War Tunnels, the Hamptonne Country Life Museum, the Pallot Steam and Motor Museum and the Jersey Zoo.
If you’re looking for history, adventure, incredible food, and total relaxation, Jersey weaves it all together into something truly magical. It’s not quite British and it’s not quite French, but Jersey is 100% unique.

Sirolo, la Perla dell'Adriatico - Greetings from Sirolo the pearl of the Adriatic Sea (manortiz)
Sirolo Old Town... A Jewel - B etween the green of the natural park and the blue of the sea side
Sirolo wonderful old town is full of unexpected angles and views. The heart of the city, within medieval walls, are the perfect scenery for a pleasant holiday. The squares and the streets come alive with outdoor cafes, restaurants, shops and markets, creating ... emotions Its sea sides are among the most beautiful Adriatic coast beaches. Rare beauty clear waters and beaches offer an exciting environment. The awards from Lega Ambiente and Touring Club, the acquisition of European Blue Flag, placed Sirolo among the top cities in Italy recognized for excellence in protecting the natural environment
From
SIROLO
E' la Perla dell'Adriatico ed uno dei più graziosi borghi della Riviera.
Adagiato sopra un ripiano del versante meridionale del Conero,a picco sul mare, ha un centro storico d'impianto medioevale ancora ben conservato. Giungendo da Nord, si raggiunge piazza Vittorio Veneto, ampia e ariosa, con uno spettacolare panorama sul mare sottostante. All'entrata della piazza si trova sulla destra la chiesa parrocchiale di San Nicolò, con un portale quattrocentesco e un campanile imponente. (...)
L'attrattiva principale di Sirolo sono le spiagge e la loro natura selvaggia e incontaminata. Innumerevoli sono le occasioni di divertimento e di relax. Si va dalla possibilità di praticare ogni genere di sport ad ogni sorta di attività da 'terra ferma'. E ancora, il lunghissimo litorale alterna incantevoli calette di sassi e mare trasparente a lunghe spiagge dorate di sabbia morbida e vellutata, a sorprendenti riserve naturali a picco sul mare. Un litorale unico e un'esperienza indimenticabile. Transitando sotto la Punta di Giacchetta, da Spiaggia Urbani, con il mare calmo, è possibile raggiungere la spiaggia di San Michele. La spiaggia di San Michele è tra le più conosciute di tutta la costa. La spiaggia è munita di servizi balneari. Dopo San Michele, c'è la spiaggia dei Sassi neri. Il suo nome sembra derivare dal fatto che, molti anni or sono, lungo la costa, venivano ormeggiati grossi barconi carichi di pietre: la sosta serale era legata alla lavorazione della calce, che avveniva lungo la spiaggia. Il mattino seguente sull'arenile rimanevano i resti della combustione dei fuochi accesi per produrre la calce e così da quei carboni e dalle pietre annerite, la spiaggia prese il nome di Sassi Neri. La spiaggia delle Due Sorelle è la più caratteristica e la più famosa di Sirolo.
(...)
La riviera del Conero e il territorio del parco del Conero presentano un originale fusione di paesaggio collinare,urbano e costiero. Alle attrattive della natura,che ha qui gli aspetti più pittoreschi di tutta la costa marchigiana, quest'area unisce richiami di carattere artistico come la chiesa di Santa Maria di Portonovo e la badia di San Pietro. 18 percorsi escursionistici che si snodano tra corbezzoli, ginestre, lecci, pini, nella magia della macchia mediterranea. Numerose specie di uccelli presenti, alcuni dei quali rari, assieme ad una ricca presenza faunistica. Le tantissime piante che costituiscono la macchia mediterranea sono qui protette e rappresentano un terzo dell'intero patrimonio floristico delle Marche.
Grazie alla limpidezza delle acque del suo mare, all'ambiente incontaminato, alle aree protette e alla qualità dei servizi, Sirolo ha ottenuto per ben diciotto anni, consecutivamente (1994-2011) - unico Comune in Italia - la prestigiosa Bandiera Blu. Altro riconoscimento degno di rilievo sono le Quattro Veledi Legambiente.

Places to see in ( Bolzano - Italy ) Cappella Domenicani
Places to see in ( Bolzano - Italy ) Cappella Domenicani
The Chiesa dei Domenicani is a medieval church in Bolzano/Bozen, South Tyrol, northern Italy. The church, one of the earliest examples of Gothic architecture in Tyrol, was founded by the Dominicans after their arrival, in a location that was then outside the city's walls. The construction ended in 1272 but was expanded in the following century. The quarter which originated from the monks' church and convent became known as Neustadt (New City); their cultivated lands were nationalized by the Fascist regime in 1930s. The church was damaged by bombs during World War II.
The church has a single hall two rows of octagonal pillars. The presbytery, separated a five-span bridge, was rebuilt in Baroque style in the 18th century; in 1458-1468 the church and the cloister received new vaults in Gothic style. The four side chapels, dating from the 14th century, were damaged in World War II. The interior is home to several frescoes, including a Madonna and Saints by Haus Stotzinger from Ulm (1404), a Madonna Enthroned by a Veronese school artist (1379) and Four Saints by an artist from Martino da Verona's school (1400). The Chapel of St. John, finally, houses a fresco cycle by a Giottoesque painter, including a scene with one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and, below, the sinners. At the end of the apse is an altarpiece by Guercino (1655).
The cloister, first mentioned in a 1308 document, has wall paintings depicting the Life of Jesus and Mary, executed by Friedrich Pacher around 1496. Other Giottoesque frescoes from the 14th century can be seen in the St. Caterine Chapel which is accessed through the cloister.

SARDEGNA ...una Terra da scoprire!!!!!!
Un viaggio navigando in un mare di smeraldo, tra piccole e grandi insenature dalla sabbia bianchissima: questa è la Sardegna, un’isola che stupisce il visitatore per i suoi contrasti naturali, luci e colori, un paese di antichissime tradizioni, immerso in una natura selvaggia e incontaminata. Situata al centro del Mediterraneo, con un territorio prevalentemente montuoso ma privo di alte vette, la Sardegna regala al visitatore un ambiente naturale unico, nello stesso tempo aspro e dolcissimo. L’uomo, infatti, è in certe zone quasi una rara presenza; vaste superfici sono rimaste magicamente intatte, abitate da cervi, cavalli selvatici e grandi rapaci e sono ricche di piccole zone desertiche, stagni e boschi rigogliosi con alberi anche millenari.
Il mare regna incontrastato con i suoi colori e si insinua nelle calette tortuose, lungo le coste e le spiagge, nelle località più frequentate. La costa Smeralda con la sua perla, Porto Cervo, ne è un esempio. Il suo Porto Vecchio è considerato il più attrezzato porto turistico del Mediterraneo. Porto Rotondo è una località anch’essa rinomata, che si affaccia sull’ampio Golfo di Cugnana ed è popolata da ville e piazzette incastonate in una magnifica natura.
Chi al mare preferisce la montagna potrà andare alla scoperta della regione del Gennargentu, il più vasto complesso montano della Sardegna, con i suoi pittorici scenari dove la natura occupa un posto di primo piano. Molto ricca la flora e la fauna con i suoi mufloni, aquile reali, cervi sardi e varie specie ormai sull’orlo dell’estinzione.Tra le sue meraviglie, la Sardegna offre al visitatore i complessi nuragici sparsi su tutto il territorio, monumenti unici al mondo che testimoniano una cultura antica e ancora in parte misteriosa che va dal XV al VI secolo a C.
I Nuraghi – costruiti con grandi blocchi di pietra – si sviluppavano intorno ad una torre centrale a forma di tronco di cono che trasmette una sensazione di solidità e potenza. Si tratta di siti archeologici dove si possono ancora cogliere i segni di antiche ritualità e di vita domestica dal fascino arcaico. Tra i tanti, il complesso di Barumini in provincia di Medio Campidano è nella lista del patrimonio mondiale UNESCO.
Le province della Sardegna sono: Cagliari (capoluogo), Carbonia-Iglesias, Nuoro, Olbia-Tempio, Oristano, Medio Campidano, Sassari, Ogliastra.A soli 12 km di mare dalla Corsica, 120 dalla Toscana e 185 dall'Africa, la Sardegna è da sempre meta di indiscutibile fascino, a ben vedere definita come i Caraibi italiani. Ed in effetti poco ha da invidiare l'Isola dei Nuraghi alle mete tropicali d'oltreoceano, grazie a luoghi come la Maddalena e la Costa Smeralda, Santa Teresa Gallura e Arzachena, tra gli altri: lunghissime spiagge di sabbia bianca e finissima si alternano a masse rocciose e magnifiche insenature movimentate da cale e isolette. Il bellissimo mare, dai fondali molto profondi, è certo il bene più prezioso dell'isola ma non l'unico. A rendere un mondo a sè questo angolo d'Italia un pò schivo, sono tradizioni millenarie ancora vive tra il fiero popolo sardo. E ancora, un'archeologia unica al mondo, ricca di nuraghi, menhir e tombe giganti e un entroterra non meno affascinante e per certi versi misterioso.Sardegna una terra da scoprire...
