Serenissima

When visiting Venice, the Piazza San Marco is the place to be. It is also called St. Mark’s Square and is the main square of Venice. It is one of those few great spaces in Europe of its kind. It is referred to as “The drawing room of Europe.” Instead of the sound of traffic, you hear the sounds of human voices. The pavement is made up of bricks laid out in a herringbone pattern, which is something that is very unique about it.

When booking hotels near the Piazza San Marco, you can choose hotels that are west of the plaza, east of the plaza, north of it, or on the waterfront promenade. Each area has its own features and you can find hotels within a plethora of price ranges. The varying price ranges make it possible for many people to enjoy what the Piazza San Marco has to offer. When staying near the Piazza, you’ll also find that there is something quite tranquil and unique about it. This comes early in the mornings and late at night.

In the early mornings and in the evenings, while everyone else is back at their less conveniently located hotels, you can be in the Piazza San Marco when the venders are setting up shop in the early mornings and you can be there when they’re taking it all down. There are only a handful of people on the Piazza in the evenings, making for an incredible experience. You may wonder what is so great about there not being very many people on the Piazza, but it is something that you just have to experience yourself to appreciate it. That’s because it is so fantastic that it can’t be described. Traveling to Venice for the indescribable is why many make the journey.

MoMA: Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night

Many individuals vacation in New York City because of its museums. The city has a lot of great museums that tell about American culture in a way that no other place can. There are so many of them and so many of them have a focus that is different from one another. This makes seeing just the museums in New York City quite the adventure.

However, that can be a lot of driving around, so it is a good idea to figure out what museums you are going to visit and find yourself a hotel that is in a good central location. It really depends on your interests. You can take a look at the famed Guggenheim Museum, the Flick Museum, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Rose Museum, The Wildlife Gallery, and so much more. Having a hotel close means that you can make the most of your trip by having enough time to enjoy these things.

Even if you’re going to be running all over Manhattan, you can still find yourself a hotel that is closest to most of the museums you will be visiting. Some people make the mistake of just looking for the cheapest hotel. The truth is that the cheapest hotel may not be the best hotel.

Being that New York is a large city, you don’t want to stay somewhere that is across town. It could literally take hours for you to get to your destination. This means you’re going to be spending all of your time traveling and less time actually enjoying what you’re traveling to. By being close, you can shave hours of traveling time off of your schedule. From there, you can enjoy your museum experience so much better. You have so much to take in while visiting museums that you shouldn’t have to worry about how much time you have.

Santiago, Chile

Santiago, the capital of Chile, is a showcase of the beautiful diversity that is uniquely Chilean. The colonial architectures blend with the more funky structures. There is the elegant colonial building of the Plaza de Armas. And there is the trendy street of El Bosque. The extensive range of art collection rivals that natural beauty of the Forest Park. Thus, the best thing to do in Santiago is to go sightseeing. The five million people that reside at the city welcome the tourists. They are proud to display their country’s heritage, as well as promote international visitors. For an unforgettable Santiago sightseeing experience, the recommended places to go include the Cerro Santa Lucia, the Cerro San Cristobal, and the Paseo Ahumada.

The Cerro Santa Lucia is actually a 230-feet high hill that offers a fantastic view of the city. Located in Alamada Street, right at the center of the city, the top has a charming castle and it is next to the National Library. Although it is easy to move around the city by using the numerous taxis and buses, it might be a good idea to find a hotel along the same street, such as the Crowne Plaza. But it is recommended for tourists to choose hotels that are a few miles from the Cerro Santa Lucia because the place can be hostile at night. Considering that only a few streets separate the safe from the more dangerous areas, it is important that your hotel is in the right location.

The Cerro San Cristobal has an impressive 15-meter high white statue of the Virgin Mary at its top. It is adjacent to the Parque Metropolitano, the zoological garden, and the botanical garden. The Cerro San Cristobal is farther from the city center and can be reached via an enjoyable gondola ride that departs from the end of the El Cerro Avenue. You can utilize a map to find hotels that are near the El Cerro Avenue. And finally, the Paseo Ahumada is best toured by walking. Located right on Calle Ahumada, this area features the local artists of Santiago.
