German Cultura Calendar

What i like most about German Cultural events is that the calendar is fully loaded with annual fairs, festivals, concerts and parties.

In January, Fasching is celebrated. It is a bawdy kind of six-week-long extravaganza of street parties and balls.

February, The Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival), the world’s second largest, is held in February.

March, Lent comes to an end in March with Starkbierzeit, a time for quaffing strong brews.

April, April sees Festage (Festival Days) a host of gala concerts and operas held over 10 days. Also, April is the time for a mini Oktoberfest known as Fruhlingsfest.

June, The Munich Film Festival is held June. Which is a delight to all movie lovers.

July, Christopher Street Day in July is a three day gay fest and is celebrated with wild street parties. Its full of Sex, Booze and naked Gay and Lesbians out on a freak show.

August, features JazzFest Berlin, A musical extravaganza which is a must go for music lovers.


Oktoberfest, the world’s premier pub bash, is held, surprisingly, in September.

So this was a small Guide to the Life and cultural activities of Germany.

Mallorca Island

Like all my popular Destination Posts this time round i have a new place for you to visit.


This time its about Mallorca Island.

Mallorca Islands is the largest island of Spain. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Balearic Islands archipelago. A popular destination or rather should be called as the mecca for people who love Sunny Beaches, Its 550 Km long coastline is full of sandy beaches which are a realy Beauty for holiday maker, surfers, Honeymooners. Its tourist infrastructure is so strong that it usually sees tourists in strength of thousands and millions flooding to it in peak holiday seasons. All thanks to the tourism infrastructure that this place is still the best to visit.

Also check out some Good and chap Mallorcan Hotels in and near Mellorca Islands.

Nevertheless, Mallorca can show even other faces when you leave the coastline and take a look at the inner country. Prices fall with each kilometer you move away from the coast, and reach the usual Spanish standards in the center of the island or even some parts of the mountain area.

One good place I liked in Melllorca was Palma de Mallorca its a beautiful place to visit and the hospitality and recreational activities are so great that you'll love to visit again and again.

You can also visit Ibiza Islands and San Antonio as they are also another good and popular tourist destination, with some Virgin Beaches.

For putting up in These places check out with Ibiza Hotels and San Antonio Hotels

MALTA

Dreaming of A vacation in the Mediterranean ??

Take my suggestion and head towards MALTA..

but before taking any leap check out some Cheap and Good HOTELS in and around MALTA for your convenience.


Reaching MALTA is not A hard task you will get many flights to Sicily Italy and then could head to Malta by a local and cheap transport. To know more about Malta read on.

Malta is a small Island in the Mediterranean Sea. It lies to the south of the island of Sicily in Italy. It is surrounded by beautiful and scenic beaches and mountains. The most common attraction is the Life at beaches. as it is a densely populated town there are many thing to watch. from local markets to historical monuments.

So my advice would be that you must head for Malta once to enjoy this scenic and beautiful paradise.

Destination London

The Trip to one of the most busiest Airport is ones nightmare. So to save you from this nightmare and to guide you for your stay in London a secure, peaceful and cheap one read more.

So the main problem which many of us might have experienced is Transportation in a new Toen or city. London is no exception that it has one of the most busiest airports but the transportation in one of its kind. Its a marvel to travel in the Tube and the buses are just good.

Staying could not be a big problem as there are many good hotels to book from amongst the cheap and best hotels in and around London.

Well that was about the Stay now lets come back to the Transportation. There are many modes of transportation from Airport to London some of them category wise are:

  • Fastest: Heathrow Express train to Paddington Station, Its a 15 min journey and regular trains are at 15 minutes interval. Its the best and the fastest way but little expensive at £15.50
  • Cheapest: A cheaper option is the Piccadilly Line to central London (London Underground i.e TUBE), it takes 50 min, Getting an 'Oyster Card' for cheapest travel would be a good option. A Single journey costs around £3.50 with oyster and £4 for a paper ticket. Zone 6 Travel cards are valid £6.70 for a day.
  • Most convenient: Combination of Heathrow Express to Paddington followed by a Taxi to your final destination is the most convenient but an expensive affair it could cost you for a Taxi from Heathrow to Central London will take around one hour and is highly dependent on traffic, priced highly at £45-60. Definitely not on my list.

So the next time you travel to London keep in mind that there are expensive and Cheap options too.
