Bridge of Sighs

This modernized city with an ancient world charm offers a variety of places for visitors to stay from the finest international chain hotels to an intimate inn and even a houseboat. For a relatively small city Amsterdam contains nearly 300 hotels and that does not include the 100 plus guesthouses, the hostels, cottages, houseboats, and even some apartments for extended stays.

Situated on the River Ex in the stunning South West county of Devon, the city of Exeter offers the perfect day out or holiday destination for all the family. Exeter is bursting with historical character with a diverse array of architecture, from the majestic Gothic Cathedral to the mysterious medieval passages which run underneath the city. Those who are looking for some retail therapy can head to Princesshay Shopping Centre, a well loved place with visitors since it opened in 2007. Exeter’s close proximity to the coast means that it’s just a small drive away from building sand castles and walking along the rugged cliff tops.

Historical Sites

Exeter has a deep historical background that’s evident as you walk along the high street with its medieval buildings and grand Cathedral which dominates the city’s skyline.

Exeter Cathedral is the Cathedral church of Saint Peter, originates from the Norman time. Construction started in 1114 and It took over 250 years to build until it was completed in 1375. Throughout the centuries it has developed into a Gothic-style building where the two magnificent towers are the main survivors of the original construction. Its treasures include a volume of the Domesday Book and the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon literature in existence.

Castle Drogo is a country house near Drewsteignton, Exeter. It was the last castle to be built in England (in the 1910′s and 1920′s) and was built for Julius Drewe, a successful local businessman. It is situated at a height of nearly 300 metres set above the Teign Gorge with dramatic views overlooking Dartmoor. Its height means that it consequently experiences severe weather conditions.

Powderham Castle, a well loved wedding venue, is located beside the River Exe. Built in 1391 by Sir Philip Courtenay, it has remained in the same family to this day and is currently home to the 18th Earl of Devon. The castle was restored after it was severely hurt in the Civil War. It regularly holds guided tours with historical information about the castle.

Local Gardens

Tucked away in the centre of Exeter are some hidden flora gems that offer a sanctuary of cool for Exeter visitors and if you head to the outskirts of Exeter you will find secluded valley gardens.

Northernhay Gardens are the oldest public gardens in the UK. They were quarried in the Roman times for stone to build the adjacent city walls. They were laid out by the City Chamber for the public recreation at an unusually early date of 1612. Like Powderham Castle, the park was ruined in the Civil War and then restored in 1664. Since then it has been a continuous tradition to maintain the park as a major city amenity.

Malta is known for its hot summer sun and everything related to its surrounding blue Mediterranean sea, such as water sports and diving. As a result, flocks of tourists visit the Maltese islands during the May to September season in an attempt to sit back, relax and delight in the summer sun! So, a visit to the island during its winter months may prove to be a quieter, cooler and perhaps more rewarding sort of holiday in Malta.

Since Malta’s winter is rather mild, it allows for the hills to be greener. One can delight in the countryside by means of hiking, walking or cycling – an activity which is usually hard in the hot summer months. Countryside walks have become a highlight for many tourists visiting Malta, and for this reason, specific guide books have been made for the tourist who wishes to explore the silent rural areas of the island by providing directions through rural paths and towns.

Malta Sightseeing

During this time of year, taking in Malta’s spectacular culture would be ideal since the ancient villages and monuments are less busy with tourists, and the temperature is cooler. The oldest and most impressive structures are the prehistoric temples, the largest of which are located in Qrendi (Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Temples), Tarxien (Tarxien Temple) and Gozo (Ggantija Temple). Dating from c. 5000BC, the temples are really older than the Egyptian pyramids! A certain must-see!

Since Malta is very small, transportation is often unnecessary and one can view all, or most, of a town or city on foot. Valletta and Mdina, for instance, are incredible localities that merit a visit. By simply walking around, one can appreciate the historic buildings and distinct character of each city. Valletta contains within its walls the Grandmaster’s Palace, Auberge de Castille, St. John’s Co-Cathedral, the National Museum of Archaeology, the Fine Arts Museum, Malta’s National Theatre (The Manoel Theatre) and a host of other historical buildings, not to mention one of Malta’s shopping high-streets, all at a small walking-distance from one another.

Mdina is no less stunning. Mdina itself is known as the ‘silent city’ and contains series of winding narrow roads through which cars are not allowed to pass. Walking through the former capital allows for the appreciation of historical buildings, the possibility of dining in some of the most up-town Malta restaurants and cafés, as well as spectacular views of the island off its bastions.

With regards to indoor activities, the several museums of Malta that range from archaeology to classic cars are sure to keep someone busy for a series of days! Furthermore, the theatre scene is bustling all year round with selections of classical concerts, operas, drama, musicals and comedy. In fact, it has become well loved to go and delight in a light meal and bottle of wine at local wine bars following a show at one of Malta’s Theatres. Wining and Dining in Malta is of course not limited to such wine bars and extends to all sorts of cuisine scattered in every locality on the island, the most prominent being that of Mediterranean cuisine.

If you simply wish to relax, the several spas across the island provide a perfect harmony of tranquility and well-being, in order to release you from the daily stresses of your routine back home. Unlike the packed summer beaches, spas provide a cool splendor for you, and your loved ones, to delight in.
