There are cities that, even in the space of a weekend, remain etched in the collective memory. In the atmosphere there, for their history still present or just for the beauty of the place, these eternal cities derive therefore a worldwide reputation as Venice, city of lovers. And of course, unanimously, there are places to visit and revisit tirelessly.
According to taste, there is a more or less long list of the most beautiful cities in the world. But in this top 5, there is inevitably and unquestionably the capital of France, romance and fashion: Paris. With its squares, bridges, his infinite maze of streets and the Eiffel tower and the warm atmosphere will make you feel directly at home. Paris has a lot of interesting architecture and museums to offer, and is also a Walhalla for shopaholics, it is definitely a city that charm. Besides, it's lounging on Montmartre, along the Seine by the banks of the Ile Saint-Louis and the Ile de la Cité, crossing the Marais district, the traveler will discover what he is its success. Hotels are available in every corner of the streets, but remember to book in advance.
In southern Europe,
Encamped on the right bank of the Tagus estuary, Lisbon is primarily a
site of unparalleled beauty, sometimes confusing yes, but that has remarkably
through time.
If there is a
capital that is bent on bluff its visitors, it is Lisbon, which eternal work
continues to undermine him before the greater good, to parody Dom Francisco
Manuel de Melo “an evil which we enjoy, an asset which suffers. “In the
seventeenth century, the Portuguese writer and described the saudade, a feeling
of nostalgia supposed to invade any inhabitant of Lisbon at the sight of the
Tagus' sea of straw" with golden hues carrier of travel dreams of a whole
nation.
Nostalgia is not
what it was, do not worry! Lisbon is not sad (except in winter, perhaps because
the cold moist here is penetrating), she did not see each passing moment in the
memory of his glory days. Do not rely provided these pictures showing Lisbon's
night as a perpetual party held under the stars on the banks of the Tagus, on
the old docks or in Bairro Alto: the pain of living has not simply created a
furor to live; here, the two coexist easily.
Also in Europe, but
in Italy this time, there is a city that defies the laws of nature by being
built entirely on Water: Venice. It has the unique ability, what the
cities of legend, causing astonishment every time we go back. No cliché will
never make the atmosphere of winding streets, its squares, its canals and
churches.
Venice, La
Serenissima, is a city born from the sea and facing the sea, who always knew
how to fight to preserve its independence. Of this glorious past, she kept
palaces and old houses which today are all museums that reflect its distinctive
past.
Venice is the charm
almost every street corner, a strange mix between Deja vu and wonder of
discovery, the postcard and the hint, a big dip in the Middle Ages and up 'at
his table, a real carnival for the taste buds!
In a totally
different style and on the other side of the Atlantic, New York is the city
that never sleeps, New York. Those who have never set foot already know, for
movies, TV shows, music, literature. New York is a dream machine. Diverse,
frenetic, electric, magnetic, magical, breathtaking, inventive, intensive,
adjectives are scrambling to describe it. This is a city of extremes and
superlatives.
New York is the most populous metropolis in the United States, the most
visited too. And its legendary skyline, the location of the defunct Twin Towers
emerges in blue silhouette facets of One World Trade Center, now the tallest
skyscraper in North America.
New York is THE
city, the city of cities. Too small to be a country and too big to be a single
city. Each borough, each neighborhood has its own identity, but everything is
in constant motion. There are still not that long ago, a trip to New York came
down to visit the heart of Manhattan. Few tourists who dared venture to Harlem,
while today it is a must for its vibrant nightlife. Even the Bronx became a
creep! As for Brooklyn, everyone rushes to smell this unique village atmosphere
and enjoy the best view of the city restaurants.
About cooking, she
also is undergoing a revolution. The wave bio-green that hit the Big Apple has
given New Yorkers a taste for good products. Farmers markets bloom and we even
see urban farms grow on rooftops! A new generation of leaders came messing
culinary traditions.
This creative buzz,
this inexhaustible energy are felt every street corner. Certainly dark episodes
have left indelible marks (September 11, Sandy), but New York still falls,
ready for new challenges.
Whether to elect
the most beautiful city in Africa, Marrakech would top for many
travelers. Marrakech is one of
the destinations that do more than ever dream ... even if his old lovers swear
not recognize today their "Pearl of the South." This changing city cannot
be ignored.
A steady stream of
visitors, stalls full of junk; a periphery changing with the construction of
dozens of hotels and palaces promising total dream; the creation of a new city
on the road to Safi, 7 miles away; a megastore, the first in the kingdom, in
preparation for the African Football Cup held in Morocco in 2015 ... So many
things that tend to make Marrakech a city scarred by tourism ... And yet, open
your eyes, let yourself be carried away by the colors, the smells, the
undeniable charm of Marrakech, this bewitching and fascinating city!
The huge Jemaa el
Fna and agitation (day and night!) Alone are worth the trip. It is also lost in
the colorful souks and noisy, probably the richest, most diverse, the most
fascinating countries. Thousand small businesses are everywhere. Tourism, often
maligned, has greatly promoted the rediscovery of a flourishing craft today,
and the rehabilitation of Marrakech architecture. Hammams neighborhood glibness
sellers of everything and nothing added to the thrill of an unforgettable
spell.
To understand and
appreciate Marrakech, we have to stay a bit. So this imperial city appears like
a jewel set in the natural setting that is not far, the High Atlas Mountains.
