London
Hotels |
With
a population of just under eight million, London is Europe's largest
city, spreading across an area
of more than 620 square
miles from its core on the River Thames. Ethnically it's also Europe's
most diverse metropolis: around two hundred languages are spoken
within its confines, and more than thirty percent of the population
is made up of first, second- and third-generation immigrants. more...

Tenerife Hotels |
Despite
its predictably sunny weather and the wide variety of landscapes that
attract millions of tourists every year,
Tenerife
has a bit of an image problem, thanks largely to the attentions
of the package tourism industry. As a result the entire island
is commonly, though rather mistakenly, assumed to be just a playground
for the hordes of rowdy, booze-fuelled holiday-makers looking for
sun, sea and often sex in the island's large resorts, particularly
Playa de las Américas. And though most visitors largely
content themselves with lazy days on the beach, there are plenty
of opportunities to be more active and go surfing, windsurfing,
sailing, diving or deep-sea fishing. more...

Greece Hotels |
With
well over a hundred inhabited islands and a territory that stretches
from the south Aegean to the Balkan countries, Greece
offers enough to fill months of travel. The historic sites span
four millennia, encompassing both the legendary and the obscure,
where a visit can still seem like a personal discovery. Beaches
are parcelled out along a convoluted coastline equal to France's
in length, and islands range from backwaters where the boat calls
twice a week to resorts as cosmopolitan as any in the Mediterranean. more..

Paris Hotels |
It's
little wonder that so many wistful songs have been penned over the
years about France's capital, Paris . Few cities leave
the visitor with such vivid impressions, whether it's the drifting
cherry blossoms in the tranquil gardens of Notre-Dame, the riverside
quais on a summer evening, the sound of blues in atmospheric cellar
bars, or the ancient alleyways and cobbled lanes of the historic
Latin Quarter and villagey Montmartre. more...
