Switzerland travel guide: top attractions & places of Zürich

We are in Switzerland. The beauties of Zürich: top sights and attractions. Have you ever wondered what a city with perhaps the most expensive cost of living on the planet looks like? A place that nevertheless has the highest indicators of prosperity and offers ideal living conditions to its citizens. . #ZürichAttractions #ZürichSwitzerland #Switzerlandtravelguide At the point where the #Limmat and #Sihl #rivers flow into #Lake #Zurich, lies the #city of the same name. The largest #financial and #banking #center of the #country, Zurich, has a population of 415 thousand #inhabitants. The #international #airport and #railway #network have made the city the main #gateway to #Switzerland and a starting point for #excursions to the wonderful #Alpine #resorts and #beautiful #Swiss nature. In antiquity the area was inhabited by #Celts. When the #Romans came they named the new #fortress #Turicum, from which the word Zurich comes. It is true that the inhabitants of the city have fought over time to maintain the privileges of self-determination, neutrality, economic stability and prosperity. It seems that, despite a few wars and conflicts, they did it pretty well! So let's start our tour of the beauties and attractions of Zurich: To the left and right of the river Limat lies the center of Zurich, the wonderful old town or #Altstadt and you will need at least 2 days to explore it. The walk along the river is a good start that will excite you. Sturdy buildings and bridges mirrored in icy alpine waters. The 11th-century #Fraumünster church stand out with the incredible stained glass windows of #MarcChagall, while accross the river, through a historic bridge, stands the 12th-century #Grossmünster church, with its iconic twin Romanesque bell towers. On the next bridge is the #TownHall and opposite the arched path in the old #Schiphe merchants district. And a little further on, the church of St. Peter with the big clock that is said to be the largest in Europe! Continuing north, on #Uraniastrasse, the imposing #Urania observatory also functions as a planetarium for the public, while housing the unique jules verne panorama bar. And 2 bridges up north lies the Central Railway Station of Zurich and the National #Museum of Switzerland, which at Christmas turns into a winter wonderland. We are transfered to the main shopping street of the city. The #Bahnhofstrasse. This place will amaze you with the luxury shops, while the pulse of the area will captivate you. Try #Sprüngli macaron, a wonderful delicacy at #Paradeplatz. At night, the lights and the decoration make the place fabulous! Respectively, the neighboring Rennweg with boutiques and hotels. We continue to #Niederdorf, the old town of Zurich with its traditional buildings and shops. An impressive journey back in time. On the shores of the lake is built the city opera in the square #Sechseleutenplatz. At his #wonderful #location is gloriously celebrated Silvester, the arrival of the new year with the most #impressive #fireworks you have ever seen! The historic Café Bar ODEON is located near the #Opera House and opposite the #Conelli #Circus, in the river! Discover the water fountains of Zurich, especially the one with the flowers, admire the #statues and the #murals of the #buildings, enter the churches and let the decoration and spirituality captivate you. The spas of the city are a must, as they try to bring the experience of #Alpine #baths in Zurich. During the holidays the city wears its shining #ornaments, in a discreet, minimal but so impressive way. Thousands of lights cover the streets, as if they were millions of stars of #Heaven and invite you to dance the #Christmas #waltz. #Gluwein will definitely help a lot! The city's museums include the #Kunsthaus, the #FIFA #football #museum and the #Rietberg. The zoo and the botanical garden will amaze you, while if you want to enjoy Zurich from above you will go to the #Uetliberg hill. This wonderful and expensive city, with the lake, at your feet! For more dynamic experiences, a boat tour on the lake is suggested, while, when the weather warms up, the locals take a dive in the cool waters of the city's canals. Could you stand it? The local prices of food will seem to you steep, but an onion soup or pumpkin soup will warm you up and a fondue will take you off! Not to mention the world-famous and delicious #Swiss #chocolates, elegant Swiss #watches, #jewelry and the Swiss #Army #knifes that arouse the consumer frenzy of tourists. And one more thing: Zurich has the most clubs per inhabitant… So get ready for endless clubbing! After all, Zurich is probably a very expensive city, but that does not mean that almost everyone can visit it and enjoy it… It's simply a matter of know-how

Καλώς ήρθατε στην #Πορταριά, ένα παραδοσιακό χωριό στο #Πήλιο, αυτό το μαγικό μέρος της κεντρικής #Ελλάδας. Προσπαθήστε να ξεχάσετε το μέρος όπου βρίσκεστε αυτή τη στιγμή. Επικεντρωθείτε στο τραγούδι της #φύσης. Αφήστε την καρδιά σας να συντονιστεί με αυτές τις #εικόνες και τις σκέψεις σας να τυλιχτούν σε #όμορφα ειδυλλιακά #τοπία από την Ελλάδα. Ας γνωρίσουμε την πατρίδα του #μυθικού #ήρωα #Ιάσονα. Στο σημερινό #επεισόδιο θα #εξερευνήσουμε τη #θεσσαλική γη και συγκεκριμένα τους #οικισμούς Πορταριά και #Χάνια στο νομό #Μαγνησίας, ανακαλύπτοντας τα #μυστικά και τις #παραδόσεις της περιοχής, σε μια μοναδική #εκδρομική #εμπειρία! Σας αρέσει το βίντεο; κάντε κλικ στο #μου αρέσει και εγγραφείτε #ανακαλύπτοντας #εξωτικά μέρη και αξέχαστες εικόνες. Σύμφωνα με την αρχαία παράδοση, η #Ιωλκός ήταν μια σημαντική αρχαία μητρόπολη μεταξύ της σύγχρονης πόλης του #Βόλου και της Πορταριάς. Από εδώ, ο Ιάσονας ξεκίνησε την #Αργοναυτική εκστρατεία για να φέρει το χρυσόμαλλο δέρας και να γίνει αργότερα ο #Βασιλιάς αυτής της καταπράσινης #ουτοπίας. Ο σύγχρονος #ταξιδιώτης, καθώς αφήνει πίσω του τον Βόλο ακολουθώντας έναν φιδίσιο δρόμο, μεταφέρεται αυτόματα πίσω στο παρελθόν. Καταπράσινες πλαγιές, εντυπωσιακά πέτρινα #σπίτια πλήρως εναρμονισμένα με το #περιβάλλον και απέραντη θέα στη θάλασσα που #ξεκουράζουν τα μάτια και #ηρεμούν την ψυχή. Όπου κι αν αγναντεύεις το κάδρο είναι υπέροχο! #Λουλούδια και πολύχρωμες αυλές. Γραφικά σοκάκια. #Αρχοντικά με περίτεχνη διακόσμηση και απίστευτες λεπτομέρειες. Πλατείες γεμάτες ζωή και ικανοποιημένους #επισκέπτες που ήξεραν ότι εδώ θα έβρισκαν την ελληνική #φιλοξενία στα καλύτερά της. Το πλαίσιο συμπληρώνεται από μια ποικιλία #καταστημάτων με τοπικά παραδοσιακά #προϊόντα όπως μαρμελάδες, γλυκά και χειροτεχνήματα. #Καφέ και #εστιατόρια. Ξενώνες υψηλών προδιαγραφών με σύγχρονες εγκαταστάσεις. Στις ιστορικές εκκλησίες του χωριού άκουγες σχεδόν τις προσευχές των κατοίκων στα δύσκολα, ενώ στο παλιό Δημαρχείο και τα μουσεία θα νιώσεις δέος από το ένδοξο παρελθόν αυτού του μεγάλου εμπορικού κέντρου της περιοχής, όταν οι κάτοικοι παρήγαγαν και πουλούσαν στο παζάρι τις περίφημες υφαντικές δημιουργίες και μαντήλια. Η πλατεία με το όνομα #Μελίνα #Μερκούρη είναι η καρδιά της Πορταριάς. Εδώ, οι θρύλοι και οι παραδόσεις γίνονται ένα με το παρόν και θα απολαύσετε τον δροσερό #φρέσκο ​​αέρα του Πηλίου και τα χαρακτηριστικά #αρώματα του #χωριού, νιώθοντας #γαλήνη και ηρεμία. Η πεζοπορία στο Πήλιο της Ελλάδας είναι από τις καλύτερες της χώρας, ειδικά γύρω από το Πήλιο στο βόρειο τμήμα της χερσονήσου. Τα πυκνά, καταπράσινα δάση είναι εκπληκτικά όμορφα και περιμένουν να τα εξερευνήσετε. Αν ξέρετε πού να πάτε, θα ανακαλύψετε βραχώδεις σπηλιές, ήσυχα ρυάκια, ακόμη και καταρράκτες όπου μπορείτε να κάνετε μια βουτιά και να δροσιστείτε μετά από μια ζεστή μέρα. Θυμηθείτε ότι αυτή η παρθένα φύση παράγει #γευστικό μέλι εξαιρετικής ποιότητας, διάσημα μήλα και αχλάδια, ενώ όταν δοκιμάσετε φρέσκα ζυμαρικά και ντόπια κρέατα θα μείνετε άφωνοι! 13 χιλιόμετρα ανατολικά βρίσκονται τα Χανιά του Πηλίου. Ένας μικρός αλλά μαγευτικός οικισμός, χτισμένος σε υψόμετρο 1200 μέτρων, περιτριγυρισμένος από δάση οξιάς, ελάτης και καστανιάς. Τα χρώματα εδώ αλλάζουν ανάλογα με την εποχή. Μια #όαση δροσιάς το #καλοκαίρι και ένα παραμυθένιο καταφύγιο τον #χειμώνα! Το όνομα Χάνια σημαίνει #σταθμός ξεκούρασης και ανεφοδιασμού. Πράγματι, τα παλιά χρόνια έμποροι και ταξιδιώτες έβρισκαν εδώ ένα ασφαλές και άνετο #κατάλυμα. Σε κοντινή απόσταση βρίσκεται το #χιονοδρομικό #κέντρο του Πηλίου, προσφέροντας δράση αδρεναλίνης αλλά και μοναδικές στιγμές χαλάρωσης, ανάλογα με τις προτιμήσεις. Αυτή είναι η ιστορία ενός ευλογημένου και ξεχωριστού τόπου, που λατρεύεται από τους θεούς, τους αρχαίους ήρωες και τη μητέρα φύση. Στο ορεινό πέρασμα ανάμεσα στο #Αιγαίο #Πέλαγος και τον #Παγασητικό Κόλπο, υπάρχει τόση #ενέργεια που οι μπαταρίες σας θα φορτιστούν πλήρως. Και θα αναπνέεις ελεύθερος, χωρίς άγχος, λύπες και σκέψεις. Ο επί γης #παράδεισος έχει όνομα και βρίσκεται στην Ελλάδα. #διακοπές #διακοπές #ταξιδιωτικός #οδηγός Αν θέλετε να έχετε την Ελλάδα μόνη σας στην επόμενη επίσκεψή σας, σκεφτείτε να κάνετε ένα ταξίδι στη χερσόνησο του Πηλίου. Βρίσκεται σχεδόν απευθείας μεταξύ Αθήνας και Θεσσαλονίκης καθώς πετάει το κοράκι, το Πήλιο είναι ένα μέρος που ελάχιστοι ξένοι φαίνεται να γνωρίζουν. Θα βρείτε πολύ λίγα πλήθη εδώ και σε ορισμένα μέρη, αποκλειστικά ντόπιους ή εγχώριους επισκέπτες. Αυτό και μόνο δίνει στη χερσόνησο του Πηλίου μια τεράστια απήχηση. Ολόκληρη η περιοχή της χερσονήσου του Πηλίου είναι πολύ καταπράσινη, με πολλή υπέροχη φύση για εξερεύνηση. Υπάρχει ένα βουνό με πολλές ευκαιρίες για πεζοπορία, πανέμορφες παραλίες και μοναδικά βραχώδη βράχια. Για να κάνετε τα πράγματα ακόμα καλύτερα, εδώ θα βρείτε μερικά από τα καλύτερα φαγητά στην Ελλάδα. Η περιοχή είναι γνωστή για την απολαυστική κουζίνα της, οπότε αν έρχεστε εδώ μόνο για φαγητό, δεν θα απογοητευτείτε.

Cross the road to join Váci utca, the pedestrianised artery that runs through the heart of the Belváros (Downtown), lined with boutiques – but beware the over-priced gift shops. It's a vibrant street of buskers, history and the occasional intriguing statue (a favourite is the 'Fisher Girl' in Kristóf tér). After a kilometre, you'll emerge into the grand Vörösmarty tér, where it would be a crime not to stop for a cake at Gerbeaud, the most famous café in Hungary. Head out of the square's top right corner towards #Erzsébet tér, where you could take a spin on the Budapest Eye with its views across the rooftops. It's a short hop from here to the domed St Stephen's Basilica, which also offers splendid views from its gallery – and a casket containing the mummified right hand of St Stephen. Franz #Liszt

Italy - Portovenere: top beaches & attractions | exotic Italian riviera

 

Porto Venere - La Spezia. A picturesque fishing village of Italy with a rich history which offers unique emotions and breathtaking images! Can paradise be found at the steep point of the union of a green slope that dives into the bright blue of the sea? #Italy #portovenere #exoticplaces A #magical place whose fame is spreading rapidly is the Five Lands. #Impressive, #colorful, truly #unforgettable! In this video, however, we will get to know the 6th aristocratic Land… who has nothing to envy from the rest. As you understand we are in beautiful Italy. Portovenere has almost 4 thousand inhabitants and lies 20 minutes away from #LaSpezia, the capital of the province and about 1:30 hours away from #Genoa in the west or from #Pisa in the east. Portus Veneris, as the #Romans originally called it, has been included in the #UNESCO World #Heritage List since 1997, along with the #CinqueTerre as we mentioned earlier. Its name means "port dedicated to #Aphrodite / #Venus in Latin" and you won’t believe in your eyes out of so many beauties! It is located in one of the most iconic parts of the Italian peninsula, where the eastern #Riviera of #Liguria meets the Gulf of #Poets. Specifically, the poet Francesco #Petrarca wrote the year 1338: "To those who come from the sea, the port of Aphrodite emerges on hills covered by olive trees, with such sweetness that even the Goddess #Athena forgot her homeland Athens". Let's see now the most important sights: We start with the imposing church of #SanPietro, #Gothic style, built on the Cape of Porto Venere. At the same place there was an ancient temple dedicated to Venus who was born from the foam of the sea. #Doria Castle. The #fortress is located on a rocky hill overlooking the seaside village and is considered one of the most #majestic military buildings built by the Republic of Genoa, on the ruins of an ancient citadel. The church of #SanLorenzo - the sanctuary of #Madonna #Bianca. This #Romanesque #church was built by the Genoese in the 12th century. At the same point it is speculated that the #temple of #Zeus was located. The #Cave of #Grotta dell'Arpaia, now cpartially collapsed, known as the cave of #Byron, from which the famous English poet swam across the bay of La Spezia in 1822 to reach Lerici. The San Venerio #Lighthouse on #Tino Island, built in 1839. Via Giovanni Capellini, the inner road that leads to the castle, starts from the #Porta del Borgo gate and is full of shops, perfumes, flavors and medieval air! On the islands of #Palmaria, Tino and #Tinetto you will find some of the most famous beaches in northern Italy, thanks to the crystal clear waters and currents of the Ligurian Sea. They are just a stone's throw from Porto Venere and can be explored by boat or yacht. Tropical beaches, sea caves and the endless Italian blue! Do not stop for a moment to breathe the colorful atmosphere and the beauties of this unique part of Italy. An aphrodisiac place, where on summer evenings, while you enjoy your drink with such incomparable views, suddenly the local #Maestralino wind comes from the northwest and cools you with grace. Seafood and local Ligurian specialties will excite you so much that you will scream #Mamamia out of satisfaction! Live your #dream in Italy: forever romantic and unforgettable!

Share it with your friends I'm Anastasios Grekos and you just watched #Runnismos #travelguru #channel.

Natural places in Porto Venere include the famous sea caves Byron (Cala dell'Arpaia), Azzurra or Blue Cave (semi-submerged) and Tinetto; the cavity of the Doves and the wall of Tino, the shoal of Dante and Small and Big creeks. Byron's cave, named after the English poet George Gordon Byron, who found inspiration and meditation for his literary works here. It is located at the spur of rock below the church of St. Peter and the old defensive position, the marine cave has a minimum depth of five meters and a maximum of twenty along the side. The Regional Natural Park in Portovenere offers a unique landscape with its high coasts, caves and vegetation that permeates the atmosphere in any season with the changing shades of color. An element that blends and harmonizes every detail is the sea, sometimes calm and clear, so as to reflect like a mirror enchanted multicolored rocks and seagulls, sometimes rough and almost angry. To crown the Park archipelago with three islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, defying the blue sea in a swirl of aromas and looks towards the infinite. But the park is not only Nature, History dwells here since prehistoric times with the Cave of the Doves, until the recent past in which Guglielmo Marconi experimented in front of the village his innovative studies.
