Amenities: Do you need specific facilities like a fitness center, spa, or free Wi-Fi? Budget: How much are you willing to spend per night on your hotel stay? Once you’ve answered these questions, it’ll be easier to narrow down your options and find a hotel that fits your needs. Berlin is a sprawling city made up of several distinct neighborhoods, each offering a unique vibe and proximity to different attractions. Picking the right neighborhood can greatly enhance your stay. Mitte: The central district and heart of Berlin, Mitte is home to many of the city’s most famous landmarks, including the Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, and Checkpoint Charlie. It’s perfect for first-time visitors who want to be close to key attractions. Here, you’ll find luxury hotels, mid-range options, and boutique stays. Prenzlauer Berg: Known for its tree-lined streets, historic architecture, and trendy cafés, Prenzlauer Berg is great for those looking for a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere. It’s popular among families and travelers who enjoy staying in a local neighborhood while still being close to the city center.
There have always been advertisers advertising a product also covered in a publication, that is not wrong, nor unusual – the audience is interested in that and similar products, which is why they are reading the publication in the first place. But since the explosive proliferation of online media, and particularly so called “influencers” on social media, advertising has, consciously or unconsciously, more significantly tilted the coverage. And this leads us to the antiquated system of stars. Two of the best hotel groups in the world, the Aman Resorts and Singita, are simply beyond stars. There is no way you can throw either of these groups in the same ring as a standard five-star hotel. So why do we insist on using this old fashioned way of assessing stars? And the very idea that we refer to some hotels as seven-star is just further indicating that we need to throw this rating system out and start again.
It does not have to be a weekend either. Any 3 days. See my Weekend in Athens Page Greece Cartoons: While playing with my camera one day, (a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX20V), I discovered that if I combined two settings I came up with a way to make my photos look like comics and my friends look like comic book characters. At first I began posting them as they were, but then I decided that if I could add word balloons my photos really would be like comics. All I needed was to think of something funny to say in each one, which is not as easy as it sounds. Also take a one minute spin with my video All My Friends from Greece. It’s a commercial I would make if I were the head of the Greek National Tourist Organization. I wrote the song and sing and play it with some of my rock and roll pals. Please Help Support My Website!

Imagine our apartment in Paris for a minute. If the listing is centrally located, say, right by the Pont Neuf just down from the Louvre and Jardin des Tuileries, then our expanding circle quickly begins to encompass very different neighborhoods on opposite sides of the river. In Paris, though both sides of the Seine are safe, people will pay quite different amounts to stay in locations just a hundred meters apart. In other cities there’s an even sharper divide. In London, for instance, prices in the desirable Greenwich area can be more than twice as much as those near the London docks right across the Thames. Ups and Downs: Seasonal demand and local events can cause prices to differ dramatically. We therefore got a cartographer to map the boundaries of every neighborhood in our top cities all over the world. This information created extremely accurate and relevant geospatial definitions we could use to accurately cluster listings around major geographical and structural features like rivers, highways, and transportation connections.
