Vienna is a unique city. It’s not uncommon to find cities that have the best of two worlds, either featuring a unique countryside or gardens to balance a modern cityscape or mixing the old and the new, as in historical buildings alongside a modern cityscape. But within the center of Vienna you can find a diverse set of cultures and architecturally unique congregation of buildings. It’s a town known by its historical center, full of Romantic buildings, but it also features a modern business center, with skyscrapers and facilities worthy of any modern capital. And within this seemingly irreconcilable cityscapes, we can also find beautiful gardens and, surprisingly, small to medium ethnic neighborhoods full of foreign life.

But perhaps the most picturesque aspect of Vienna is its flea markets, of which the Naschmarkt is, if not the greatest, at least the most famous. Originally a milk market, it started carrying fruits and vegetables. With the normal re-invention of many Vienna landmarks, it now carries food and items from all around the world, from traditional Austrian and Viennese products to exotic spices and food items from the farthest corners of the World. The cheap flights to Vienna now make it almost worthwhile to take a trip to the city and get a taste of the World in the market – just make sure you can carry the goods back home.

Being a capital always has its benefits, even if it’s of such a small state as is Northern Ireland. Belfast became an attractive city to visit, be it for tourism, business or just for a fun escape. That’s why the relationship between the City and its airport has never been this close before, and it will tend to get even tighter.

And although the main figures of the flights to Belfast are from the many London airports, flights from Belfast include many attractive tourist hot-spots, like Portugal’s Algarve and Spain’s southern coast, but also glamour destinations like Paris.

There is also another, hidden secret about Belfast Airport. For the traveler not afraid of lengthy waits and somewhat strange transfer flights, taking a quick hop from an airport in Great Britain to Belfast International and flying from there to wherever you want to go may save you more than a couple of pounds. Surely it’s not the most convenient route, but if you couple it with, let’s say, a weekend stay at the capital of beautiful Northern Ireland, it becomes a much more agreeable move.  And keep in mind that Belfast is an old fashioned town in a sense that, when you go there, they want you to feel welcomed.

England as a whole has long been a popular tourist destination, especially for budget travelers or youth backpackers.

Lanzarote is the most easterly of the islands and outside of the three main resorts of Puerto de Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca its rural roots really shine through.  As the landscape is unencumbered by high rise developments – as these were all banned back in the 1970´s.  Whilst there’s not an advertising billboard in sight – as these were similarly outlawed.

Until modern package tourism first reached the island in the 1970´s Lanzarote was mainly dependent on farming and fishing.  And agricultural production is still very much in evidence in many fields around the island, particularly in the north where the climate is a little cooler and damper.

Much of the south of the island is beyond cultivation – as it is carpeted in fields of solidified lava.  The eerie legacy of a series of volcanic eruptions dating back to the 1730´s.  Today this whole area is a National Park – one of the most popular in Spain.  And around 900,000 tourists visit this region every year to view the spent volcanic peaks and surreal scenery.

Lanzarote also boasts over ninety beaches – most of the made up of golden sand rather than the the black grains common on many other Canary Islands.
The two most impressive beaches are at Famara in the north – a huge 8km bay which is highly popular with surfers.  And Papagayo in the south – a stunning collection of picturesque coves and bays.

There’s plenty of good quality accommodation options available on the island.
Playa Blanca in the south is home to a large selection of four and five star hotels, all constructed in the last decade or so.  Whilst Puerto de Carmen the islands oldest resort, is home to the best selection of Lanzarote holiday villas on the island.  With properties in the Los Mojones area in particular proving very popular with holidaymakers.

Lanzarote is just four hours flying time from the UK, with flights available from all major UK airports and with prices starting at around £150 return.
