Introduction:
Set on the coast of Hampshire, south of Winchester, this is a place that abounds with a fascinating heritage. The Romans, who established it as a seaport, founded Southampton approximately 2,000 years ago. This was the port from which the ill-fated Titanic had set sail on her maiden voyage in 1912. Even though the place was affected during the Second World War, Southampton has grown sturdy with huge docks built for the cruise industry. The core of the modern city is now based around the City Centre.
Places of Interest:
Southampton is famous for ports, art galleries and museums. The place has a story to tell everywhere you visit.
Museum of Archaeology – This museum recount’s Southampton’s history with displays from prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval times.
Medieval Merchants’ House-This is one of the earliest surviving merchants’ homes in the UK. Tourists can take in a glimpse and see how life was 700 years ago thanks to the authentically recreated furniture and overall ambience.
Solent Sky – Solent Sky, where the world’s first seaplane was built. It is also the place where the Spitfire fighter plane, used heavily in the Second World War, was born.
Southampton City Art Gallery – Situated in the heart of the Cultural Quarter, it contains over 3,500 works of art spanning six centuries of European culture. The 20th century British art remains the main attraction here.
Things to do:
Southampton is a great place to shop and dine. Be it enjoying the nightlife or being a part of special events, this city has always had lots to offer.
Shopping – The West Quay complex on West Quay Road offers shoppers a good selection of high street retailers, designer boutiques and traditional shops. The West Quay Retail Park brims with the choicest of retailers that are normally found on the outskirts of towns. Other good shopping areas include the Marlands Mall, Portland Terrace and the Bargate Centre, off the High Street on East Street.
Restaurants – There are many restaurants offering an eclectic mix of cuisines. The rates are competitive and the price range for a three course meal for one, including a half bottle of house wine or equivalent (where available) is:
(over £40)
* (£30 to £40)
** (£20 to £30)
* (up to £20)
Tipping of around 10% for a three-course meal with wine is given customarily in up market eating places. During weekends most restaurants require prior booking.
Transport – The airport is situated 7km (4 miles) northeast of Southampton on the outskirts of the city. A good rail network links Southampton with the main rail station in the city. The National Express operates regular coach services connecting Southampton with various destinations in the UK. The National Express terminal is located in the centre of the city on Western Esplanade within a stone’s throw from the Central Railway Station. Taxis can be hailed on the street or at ranks at the railway and bus stations. First Southampton is a company that operates a comprehensive network of buses linking all parts of the city. Bus no. 12 operates between the city centre and International airport.
Nightlife – From conventional old alehouses to stylish bars and nightclubs, Southampton has a flourishing nightlife with a huge chioce. The Red Lion, 55 High Street, or The Duke of Wellington, 36 Bugle Street; are two of the traditional old alehouses having a decent bar menu.
Special events – There are events like Titanic Memorial (Sep 4), the Southampton Boat Show (Sep 16-25) and Trafalgar Day with trips on the SS Shieldhall on the Solent (Oct 21), which are specific to Southampton. In Euroblade, October, Southampton’s city streets are closed off and turned into a track for inline skating. The event is not a race and is open to skaters of all ages and abilities. It assumes dimensions of a festival atmosphere with wigs, crash helmets and fancy dress.
Food and Drink:
Langley’s Bistro and Garden Room Café -This is a non-smoking restaurant that serves the best of food and wine. The ambience as well as the great customer service is worth writing and raving about.
Kuti’s Brasserie – Situated in the centre of the town, Kuti’s is also a place that has great ambience and offers authentic Indian and Bangladeshi food.
La Cantina – With dishes like fajitas, tacos and fiery chilies, this place makes for a good party environment.
Olive Tree – It offers a selection of the best European dishes.
The Woodlands Lodge Hotel – A 15-minute drive away from the city centre, this place gives you the choicest food in the most scenic of surroundings.

Itâs also one of the best.
The Sheraton Salobre Golf Resort and Spa is a fine hotel that sits right on the doorstep of the golf course. You can just grab your clubs in the morning and after a few short steps you will find yourself on the Salobre Golf Course! Bliss! The Sheraton Salobre Golf Resort and Spa is a hotel that caters for the left-behind families of those to enjoy a spa, numerous beauty treatments, seven pools, a kids club, spectacular views and a shuttle bus to Maspalomas beach!

Its gothic style structure makes for a wonderful architectural gem to discover on your travels. It is open for viewing through almost any time of the year.
The Lighthouse – The Lighthouse in Glasgow is a national centre for architecture and design. It was once a newspaper office for the Glasgow Herald.

The Gallery of Modern Art – The Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow is one of the most popular modern art galleries in the UK. It houses contemporary artwork, most with the theme of addressing social issues. It is open nearly all year long and children are welcome. Ask for a free-guided tour.

You can find Confit lamb shoulder, grilled fillet of halibut along with prune and almond chocolate brownies with clotted cream listed on the menu.

It caters to both tourists and business travelers with its charming landmarks such as Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf and Chinatown and its state-of-the-art business facilities and convention venues such as the Moscone Convention Center, thus contributing to the city being rated as a top-class tourist destination and major financial centre in America.
Before you can truly enjoy your stay in this vibrant city, be sure to make sufficient plans with regards to your accommodation and where to stay so as to avoid the pitfalls that may befall unprepared travelers. You can read on for some general advice about hotels in San Francisco and the different types of accommodation that can be found in various parts of the city’s downtown area.Â
Hotels of different architectural styles and price rangesÂ
In San Francisco, a place well-known for its diversity, you can find hotels of different styles of architecture and price ranges to suit every budget and taste. You can take your pick from rustic boutique hotels to modern, sleek hotels, and from budget bed and breakfasts that are easy on your wallet to deluxe hotels that embody the pinnacle of luxury â your choices are endless.Â
The luxury hotels are generally situated in the most central areas near the cultural and business centre of the city in areas such as Union Square and boast an array of spacious rooms and suites to choose from, in addition to high-end amenities such as spa services in the guest rooms.Â
On the other hand, the budget bed and breakfast lodgings are generally found in less accessible areas such as the Golden Gate Park but exude a charm reminiscent of Victorian times. Do note that hotel guests in San Francisco are levied a room tax of 14% which is added to the total bill when you check out.Â
Some useful advice about choosing your hotel’s locationÂ
Here is a word of advice to all guests when choosing the location of your hotel â it is advisable to go for a more central location, such as Union Square and Fisherman’s Wharf, nearer the city centre.Â
This is because even though you may save a little money if you stay at the outskirts, the heavy traffic on the roads and the lack of parking spaces, especially on the streets, make it a difficult task to get to town and park there. This is further compounded by the high parking fees charged by the hotels, hence it would be better not to rent a car but take taxis and public transport to get around instead. Â
Furthermore, all the tourist attractions are situated close to each other, so it will be more convenient if you stay in the city centre as there are many affordable and popular forms of public transport to get to them easily if you decide not to walk.Â
These include the train network consisting of the light rail and subway, an extensive bus network consisting of trolleybuses and conventional buses and of course, the San Francisco cable cars which offer a unique way to get around and are an attraction in itself. Below is a breakdown of the different areas where you can consider staying in San Francisco.
Union Square
Union Square is at the centre of all the action in downtown San Francisco, where you can easily find numerous shopping, dining and cultural venues with easy access to Chinatown, the Moscone Convention Center and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among other attractions.Â
While both Union Square East and West boast an excellent selection of hotels, you will find more luxury hotels in Union Square East, while you are more likely to find 2- to 4-star hotels for a lower cost in Union Square West. This area is very well-served by San Francisco’s public transport network.Â
Nob HillÂ
If you are looking for a pampering stay in a luxury hotel, Nob Hill may be the place for you. Some of the most luxurious hotels in the city can be found atop this hill, which is one of the highest, and offer excellent panoramic views of San Francisco.Â
Fisherman’s Wharf and the Waterfront
This is a lively tourist spot which is home to numerous seafood restaurants, souvenir shops and street performers. If you enjoy staying in an area with a fun atmosphere while enjoying easy access to nearby attractions such as Chinatown, this could be where you might want to stay. Although there are less low budget choices here, you can choose from a number of mid-range to five-star accommodation.Â
Cathedral Hill
For budget travelers seeking cheaper accommodation yet still prefer to be situated near the downtown area, you can consider staying at Cathedral Hill. Although there are no tourist attractions in this area, you can take the cable car to areas such as Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf and Union Square.

Editors Guide To Ocean City, Maryland
By: Frank Keller
About the Author
Ocean City, Maryland – I’ve been traveling to Ocean City for over 40 years and now live here. My name is Frank Keller and I’d like to share my knowledge of the area with everyone interested in visiting or living here. Come visit our site for more articles and a vast variety of interesting things to do and see.
(ArticlesBase SC #784790)
Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Editors Guide To Ocean City, Maryland
Vacation Planner:
Having visited Ocean City as a child, than as a parent, and now living here with my grandchildren has given me a unique look at what Ocean City has to offer. From a day trip to a yearly vacation I will offer my advice on things I have enjoyed over the years.
Things have changed over the course of 50 years but not as much as you may think. Gone are the sand dunes and wilderness that existed north of 60th Street when I was a child. They have been replaced with high-rise condominiums, strip malls, hotels, restaurants, and residential buildings of every possible configuration.
The boardwalk now runs from the Inlet at the southern edge of Ocean City to 26th Street. Most of the “action” is from 4th Street-south. If you want to stay where the action is I recommend staying on the boardwalk. This is a great area if you have teenagers or just like the hustle and bustle atmosphere. Even the boardwalk can be further broken down by just how much action you want. The further you get from the inlet the more relaxed the boardwalk becomes. See my article, Where to Stay, for a complete listing of what each area of Ocean City is like.
While not everyone likes the same entertainment, I’m going to assume that the major reason for coming to Ocean City is the ocean. Our beaches are fairly consistent throughout Ocean City with fairly wide expanses, very clean, and lifeguards stationed every block with communication systems connecting the entire beach. The one major exception to this is from the inlet to about 6th Street; this area has an extremely wide beach area with volleyball and play areas. This is good for daily visitors and children but difficult for the elderly and handicapped. Access to the beach from the end of the boardwalk-north is limited to paths made through the sand dunes at the end of each street. Rentals of chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards are available on every block entrance to the beach (as of this writing). There are plenty of places to eat lunch all along the boardwalk but make other plans for lunch if you stay off the boardwalk. See beach rules for a list of do’s and don’ts.
To get away from the action and have a more relaxed day at the beach I recommend Assateague Island State and Assateague Island National Park. Although the actual park starts at the inlet you must drive about 15 minutes to get to the parks entrances. Take Route 50 west, than Route 611 south. Route 611 ends at Assateague Island. Here you will find the State Park and the National Park. The State Park is somewhat more expensive to enter but has a snack bar. I personally prefer the National Park because it has more to offer. While the State Park is limited to a snack bar, the National Park has canoe rentals; tours, a crabbing pier, and a 4 wheel drive only area (permit required). Fires are allowed on the beach at night from the low tide mark to the high tide mark. Both areas offer lifeguarded beaches, picnic tables, grills, rest rooms, and showers. Campsites are available at both parks but advanced reservations are almost always required.
Entertainment doesn’t stop at the beach.
The boardwalk offers rides, games, arcades, shops, and of course food for the kid in all of us. Here again, the action is centered from 1st Street to the inlet. To entertain the kids and the kids at heart I would suggest Splash Mountain at 30th Street and Coastal Hwy. There are several types of water slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, snack bars, and my favorite the Rain Forest. The Rain Forest is fun for everyone; it has super sized squirt guns to shoot people as they walk by (my favorite-I get in battles with people from 6 to 60), water slides, a giant pirate hat that slowly fills and dumps its contents on everyone below, and water squirting at you from everywhere. Trust me; this giant sized water version of a jungle gym is worth the admission price by itself. It is so fun that the lifeguards wear rain hats and coats.
There are numerous race tracks for every age and miniature golf courses featuring something for everyone. For a complete list of fun things to do visit our entertainment page.
For the adults there are nightclubs catering to every age group and bars with many different themes. Seacrets is so popular with young adults that it has its own radio station while Fager’s Island is popular with the more sophisticated crowd. In between is everything from karaoke to beach bars.
A rainy day can be spent; going to the movies, going shopping, visiting the indoor pools located at many hotels, sitting on your balcony watching the ocean, taking a day trip to historic Berlin, Md., or just enjoying a long lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants.
Dinner in Ocean City for most of us is kind of like Family Feud. There are so many choices and nobody ever feels like the same thing at the same time. My family starts discussing dinner plans early so reservations can be made if required. During the peak season keep in mind that lines at popular restaurants can be long (even if the food is just so-so). My personal recommendations are: 1-Marina Deck, excellent crab soup and seafood dishes, and it’s on the water 2-Waterman’s Seafood Restaurant, very good crab feast and seafood 3-Nick’s Original House of Ribs, very good ribs and beef 4-Harpoon Hanna’s, very good seafood and on the water (service somewhat slow) 5-The Crabcake Factory USA, the best crab cakes, 6-Higgins Crab House, very good crabs and good seafood, 7-Bull on the Beach, excellent pit beef and good beef entrees, 8-Adolofo’s Italian Restaurant, excellent Italian dishes (expensive), 9-Embers Restaurant, very good seafood and prime rib buffet, 10-Ponzetti’s Pizza, my favorite pizza, 11-Lombardi’s, another good pizza and Italian restaurant, 12-Sakura, excellent Japanese steak house, 13-Phillip’s Crab House, good seafood (worth a visit but no longer the best seafood in Ocean City), 14-Outback Steakhouse, the same food you get at home but it’s good when you get tired of trying new places. These are my favorite restaurants. There are many great choices and many different ideas about what a good meal is. A good restaurant to me is a combination of very good to excellent food with reasonable prices, good service, and a varied menu for the entire family. Please leave reviews for restaurants you visit during your stay to help others choose a good restaurant.

Tourist City Guide to Birmingham
Tourist City Guide to Birmingham
Birmingham’s history stretches back to the sixth century, but is currently Europe’s newest city. The second largest city in England, Birmingham is home to more than a million people and continues to expand on its success.
The city has much to offer visitors seeking quiet evenings out, lively nightlife, breathtaking history and cultural entertainment, and is located close enough to picturesque countryside to offer the best of city and rural life.
Birmingham has been dubbed ‘the shopping capital’ of the country, and with over 1000 retailers in the city centre alone, this title is certainly deserved. There are more than a dozen shopping centres in the city, demonstrating the city’s continued growth and power to attract visitors.
History
Birmingham’s history is documented back to the sixth century, when a supply of water, coal and iron were discovered in the area. Birmingham developed rapidly, and was already regarded as one of the important manufacturing areas in England by the start of the Industrial Revolution.
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is home to an incredible collection of art works and artefacts, documenting 400,000 years of history. The city’s other museums include Blakesley Hall, a converted sixteenth century manor house.
Other important historical buildings include Weoley Castle, a thirteenth century manor house; The Old Crown, a fifteenth century pub; the thirteenth century St Martin’s Church; and the Grade I listed nineteenth century Town Hall.
Art Galleries
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is home to the largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite works in the world, as well as fine and applied art works by the Old Masters and Impressionists. A free bus links the gallery to the city centre.
Birmingham’s arts and media quarter is named after the factories that once occupied the five-acre site: The Custard Factory. As well as numerous other media companies, creative enterprises and cafes, The Custard Factory is home to a number of small art galleries showcasing a variety of works.
The Ikon Gallery is a unique collection of multimedia art works, comprising sound, film, photography and art installations.
