Explore Cuba as a Family. The Flying Couponer.
Share by THE FLYING COUPONER

The country of Cuba was off limits to many travelers for years and now that people can travel there, they will find that there is so much more beyond the beaches along the shorelines. The countryside, forests, and mountains are full of history, folklore, and treasures, and what is even better is that people who are traveling with their children will find themselves welcomed everywhere that they go.

Here are 7 of the best things to do with children while in Cuba:

While walking along the streets of Havana, families can stop at the Plaza de la Catedral where the Catedral de San Cristobal de la Habana is located. The entire family will want to search for the plaque and marble wreath that was placed here to mark one of the places that Christopher Columbus was laid to rest.

There are three more plazas in the area and each one, Plaza de Armas, Plaza Vieja, and Plaza de San Francisco de Asis, is unique in its own way. Families should try to visit the Plaza Vieja during the evening hours, because the parents can enjoy a drink or two while the children watch puppet shows, balloon artists, and numerous street performers. ..... keep reading .... http://bit.ly/2p77G7p

When you visit Venice you will Fall in love with the city


Share by inafricaandbeyond.com

Although our visit to Venice coincided with George Clooney’s much-hyped wedding there, we didn’t get to see it… or him. However, Venice didn’t need George Clooney or anyone else to lend it any stardust – it had enough magic of its own. In accordance with the title La Serenissima (the most serene), one of its many lovingly-bestowed appellations, Venice is renowned for being one of the most romantic cities in the world. The beauty of its setting, its unique architectural style, and the car-free cobblestone alleys with history emanating from every stone, all contribute to its charm. Children laugh and play in the large campos (public squares) and cavalier gondoliers row through the narrow canals in their ornate black and gold gondolas, as their guests take endless selfies. Every scene seems to have arisen from an artist’s brush and every corner presents a photo opportunity. It is easy to see why millions are drawn in every year by the allure of the city. However, Venice wasn’t always so serene.

Three hundred years ago, Venice was a playground for the affluent from around the world. It was notorious for its flamboyant nature, feverish hedonism and excessive debauchery with Venetian nobles and visitors seeking pleasure in gambling, endless parties and carnivals. For a while, many of Venice’s residents wore their masks at all times in public to keep their identities and escapades hidden. It was during this time that Casanova and his exploits became famous. This was also the beginning of the decline of the Venetian empire with its long and colourful history starting in 421AD during which it was attacked by invaders, and devastated by plagues and fires but during which it also captured the imagination of the world. In 1866, Venice became part of the Kingdom of Italy…and it continued to capture the world’s imagination...... keep reading  .... http://stfi.re/jovxgzb

Top 10 of the best things to do in Hamburg

Barbarabar, Hamburg
Share by John Brunton

Flohschanze market
The bohemian Sternschanze neighbourhood is Hamburg’s old meatpacking district, and every Saturday morning the cobbled alleyways between ancient abattoirs are taken over by hundreds of stalls selling vintage clothes, books and paintings, tatty junk and crystal chandeliers, expensive antiques and heaped boxes of bric-a-brac at €1 an item. And there is a real flea market spirit because selling new goods is not permitted. Pop into the Pfortner Hauschen, a minuscule bar in what was the abbatoir’s Gate House, where genial owner Jurgen prepares traditional herring and gherkin fischbrötchen sandwiches.

Museum mile
Hamburg’s museum mile, which takes in five major galleries, is bookended by two very contrasting art institutions. At the northern end, close to the main station, Hauptbahnhof Nord, is the venerable Kunsthalle, housing one of Europe’s largest art collections. At the southern end is the Deichtorhallen, two 19th-century market halls transformed into exhibition venues for contemporary art and photography. The original Kunsthalle is an imposing 1847 red-brick building that has just completed a massive €24m renovation, showcasing old masters such as Cranac as well as 20th-century artists such as Paul Klee, Oskar Kokoschka, Max Ernst and Picasso. Adjoining is a concrete and glass modern gallery, exhibiting the likes of Yves Klein, Warhol and Tracey Emin. The Deichtorhallen lies in the shadow of the towering glass offices of Der Spiegel. The bare, minimalist Art Hall features avant-garde artists such as Sigmar Polke, Baselitz and Beuys, while shows at the Haus der Photographie range from Martin Parr and Richard Avedon to Sarah Moon. ..... keep reading ....... http://bit.ly/2klSrqh
