Cheap holiday ideas and inspiration for 2015 summer :

Piemonte, ITALY

Piemont lies in the northwestern part of Italy. It shares its border with France and Switzerland. In 2006 the winter Olympic games were hosted in one of the main cities of Piemonte known as Turin. Alps cover the three sides of the region. Piemonte is well known for wines and local cuisines. The main cities in the region include Acqui Terme, Turin, Alba, Asti, Bardonecchia, Barolo, Biella, Bra and Verbania. Other destinations in the area include The Langhe, Monferrato, Pinerolo, Roero, Saluzzo, Candelo, Susa and Colletto Fava. The population of Piemonte is known for their shyness. And this has often made them the laughing stock by the rest of Italy. Industrialization began on the area since the 1800s, but nowadays things are a bit sluggish. The region boasts of strong monarchy, which can still be found in Piemonte.



Getting access to Piemonte is made simple. Airports are present in plenty. Caselle airport, Malpensa, Linate, Orio al Serio, Cristoforo Colombo Airport, Le Valdigi airport are some the airports found in the region. The region is also well connected by trains from France and Switzerland. Highways also connect the region with France, Switzerland and various other parts of Italy. So transportation by road is also made easy. Contrary to the other Italian tourist destinations, renting a car is the best option while being in Piemonte. Local bus services also ply in between the important cities.

Some of the places worth seeing are Mole Antonelliana and Museo Egizio. The former is a synagogue that has been modified into the national cinema museum these days. The latter is an Egyptian museum. It might surprise you to know that this museum stands second in popularity and content, apart from the museums present in Egypt. Ski resorts are dotted all over the place. The foremost among them is the Milky Way. Sestriere, Sauze D'Oulx and Claviere are some of the well-known resorts in the Milkyway ski. Bardonecchia is another one of the ski resorts. The snowboarding events of the Winter Olympics had taken place in here. Bollito Misto and Fritto Misto are two of the well-known local dishes. But be warned, they are not found everywhere, but only in select old restaurants. Another dish worth trying is the Bagna Cauda. Paniscia Vercellese, fried frogs and fishes from the lake are also served in here. Barolo and Barbaresco are two of the well-known wines produced in the area.

Aarhus - Denmark:

Arhus Festuge (Aarhus Festival) has been taking place annually since 1965. Now recognised as one of northern Europe’s most diverse cultural festivals, it encompasses hundreds of events and activities over ten days of dance, music, exhibitions, theatre, opera, kids’ culture, sport and entertainment. Unlike most other city festivals, Aarhus’s pursues a specific theme each year. For example, 2010's was Naboer (neighbours) and others have included Hans Christian Andersen (2005), Womania (2006) and Open City (2008).The fact that performances and events have to be relevant to a given theme keeps the festival fresh and vital. Events always stir up debate across the city and this being Scandinavia,things always run a bit deeper than one might expect. In 2007 the theme was In Motion, which prompted debates about the future of the city and the world, the nature of time and - the big one - the movement of traffic through the city.




 Deep stuff indeed. Over the decades the Arhus Festuge has attracted thousands of local artists, as well as some surprisingly big names. The dance troupe Stomp,The Rolling Stones, Ravi Shankar, the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Nigel Kennedy, Bjork, Rage Against the Machine and Green Day have all made appearances. Whatever the theme is, the whole of the city gets involved, and its parks, restaurants,theatres and museums all become specialist venues.The main aim is to have fun and discover the city’s diverse and ever-evolving cultural scene, so if you’re in town,you really shouldn’t miss it. Actually,you won’t be able to. www.aarhusfestuge.dk

Ice lolly All Inclusive Holidays - Best Deals

Trip and Travel Advisor recommended places for All inclusive holidays:


GOA - Arambol



Nestled right up near the northern tip of Goa, sociable Arambol has
escaped the influx of package holidaymakers that has been seen by
some of the more central beach resorts. Instead, it has been taken over
by a different breed: hippies. Independent travellers,free spirits and
anyone with natty dreads will fit right in here; in fact it’s hard for anyone
not to feel at home in a place with such a sense of community.
Restaurateurs are friendly and relaxed, there’s plenty of communal
entertainment like film nights, and dotted around are little notices
advertising everything from music lessons to massage.


SPAIN - Barcelona



Barcelona became one of Europe's most famous cities after
hosting the hugely successful 1992 Olympic Games. In
preparation for the Olympics, and with help from the
European Union (EU), an Olympic Village rose from the
disintegrating old industrial area of the city. Art galleries
opened, the run-down dock area became a complex of
restaurants and yachting marinas, and the historic centre of
Barcelona was restored


▲ La Sagrada Familia church is
an example of the striking
architecture found in the wealthy
city of Barcelona. It is a major
attraction for the many tourists
who visit Barcelona each year.


THAILAND 



It is believed the human habitation
of Thailand goes back at least
10000 years. Finds by archaeological
expeditions indicate a primitive
cave-dwelling culture existed
around that time. The first identifiable
culture is that of the Negrito, who
were followed by the Mon-Khmer and
the Lawa. The Mon eventually migrated
westward to the Salween River
region, while the Khmers went east,
forming the basis of Cambodia. The
Lawa tended to spread in a north-south
direction in mid-Thailand.

Deserts to Discover by Travellers

Travel to places on Earth that is not a Beach Holiday!



 
Travel and Holiday Guide to Deserts:
There are places where rain hardly ever falls and few plants can survive, where the sun scorches the earth and strong winds whip sand and dust from the ground. These places are called deserts. But not all deserts are areas of shifting sands and intense heat. In fact, rock and gravel cover the greater part of most deserts. Some deserts, such as the Gobi Desert in Asia, are actually cold for most of the year. Other deserts are blisteringly hot during the day, but temperatures drop dramatically during the night.



A surprising variety of plant and animal life struggles to survive the harsh conditions of the desert and many people call it their home.

 Death Valley, California, is the hottest, driest area o f the United States.
The scientific definition of a desert is a place that has very little vegetation and receives less than 25cm ( 10 inches) of rain each year. This means that the landmass at the South Pole could be called a desert because it receives only a few centimetres of rain each year. The water does not fall as rain, however, but snow!

Some of the highest sand dunes in the world can be found in the Namib Desert in southern
Africa. Sand dunes are not fixed features of the desert. They are mobile mounds of sand which
are shaped by the wind.  A boulder-strewn part of the Namib Desert shows signs of life after a good year’s rainfall.Death Valley, California, is the hottest, driest area o f the United States.
