Mediterranean flavors and art are all part of this cosmopolitan city, This Gay friendly city is also a great starting point for a leisurely trip down the famous coast or a short ferry ride to one of the sunny islands.

Hotels in Barcelona Spain come in two, decidedly different, flavors. Hotels in the Ciutat Vella mainly the Gothic Quarter and along the Rambla are centrally located and convenient for sightseeing, though sometimes short on peace and quiet. Cheap hotels in Barcelona are generally found in and around this district. Beyond the Gothic Quarter, in the wider and cleaner streets of the Eixample neighborhood, travelers will find the nicest Barcelona Spain hotel options.

China Town is a definite must to visit whilst in Singapore. It is an easy walk from the Swissotel The Stamford or anywhere near the Raffles area.

Cool Pattaya Beach Thailand Travel Pictures
Pattaya is a city in Thailand, located on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 165 km southeast of Bangkok located within but not part of Amphoe Bang Lamung (Banglamung) in the province of Chonburi. The city of Pattaya is a self governing municipal area which covers the whole tambon Nong Prue (Nongprue) and Na Kluea (Naklua) and parts of Huai Yai and Nong Pla Lai. It is located in the heavily industrial Eastern Seaboard zone, along with Si Racha (Sri Racha), Laem Chabang, and Chon Buri (Chonburi). Pattaya Beach is parallel to city centre, and is the main destination for bathers and loungers with the section from Central Road (Pattaya Klang) south to the harbor forming part of the core of the town's restaurants, motorcycle hire, and night attractions. Jomtien Beach in the southern part of the bay area is divided from Pattaya beach by the promontry of Pratumnak Hill, just south of the city, and is mainly a residential area with luxury developments, beachside hotels, bungalow complexes, condominiums and restaurants. It offers of watersport activities such as jet skis, parasailing and small sail boat hire.

Cool Sardinia Beaches Travel Gallery



Cool Sardinia Beaches Travel Gallery
Sardinia's beaches, time-forgotten sea towns and archaeological ruins make it worth a visit even during peak season. The island is connected by a series of romantic trains that provide stunning views often inaccessible from roads. At Forte Village Resort, which is located in a 55-acre coastal pine reserve, seven luxury hotels offer a variety of packages. To the north and west are more islands in the sun; more than a travel feature can cover. To go close to a manageable description, something has to give. Fortunately, there will be another time for the beautiful islands of the eastern Mediterranean - I promise.

But even without these little dots in the warm seas around Greece and Turkey there are enough islands to keep a traveller happy for a lifetime. There is, of course, a great deal more to Sardinia than the Costa Smeralda and the Riviera del Corallo - there's a whole islandful of things to see and do. South-central is where the main chain of mountains runs; snow-capped for four months of the year and a popular climbing and walking venue in gentler seasons. The coastline is longer than mainland Italy's entire western side, with resorts dotted around natural harbours and scenic inlets. You could take in most of them in a two-day tour by car.
