By the way, don’t miss yellow cabs as the main New York sightseeing.

Are you into New York?

The project was made by a group of architects and designers. Their main aim is to build a floating pool in the rivers of New York City and let people have fun just in the middle of the big city. This pool is a fantastic way to get a clean and safe swim in New York’s waters. What a brilliant idea!

Fortunately or not, a lot of not very professional doctors and amateurs have understood that spa brings a lot of money and the Spa Marketing has emerged. That is why you have to be very attentive while choosing the right spa for you. Be sure that you have checked the whole testimonials and even had a conversation with its clients. Don’t save money on your health!

There are numerous spas in all big cities. And NYC is not an exception! But I like the most the only one New York Spa – Great Jones SPA. It is located in the heart of downtown Manhattan and offers excellent relaxing procedures at reasonable prices. Don’t miss!!!

CityPass is not only about rarely visited or not very popular city attractions, via CityPass you can enjoy even such icons of America as Disneyland, Georgia Aquarium, or Empire State Building.

What is more, CityPass is not bigger than your beloved iPod, but it will provide you with all the necessary information, best times to visit, a map, special offers as to main city attractions and sightseeings.

New York CityPass saves approximately half the cost of visiting most New York attractions. Just imagine, 6 tickets will take you to the best museums and American icons in New York. I am ready to bet, with CityPass you will never understand that New York is more than pricey and always in a hurry.

And one more attraction and this time in California. San Diego city zoo. And again it is possible to get San Diego Zoo Tickets almost free! Moreover, you can choose your adventure either to enjoy the San Diego Zoo or the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park!

As to the Zoo, it belongs to one of the largest zoos in the whole world. It offers more 4,000 animals of more than 800 species!!! Just imagine, nowadays, they have largest population of Giant Pandas. It must be a great place to visit, especially when the price is so cheap!

But, please, don’t think of this list as something very changeable and very difficult to understand, because it does include the Conde Nast Building in Times Square (actually, it is a skyscraper, but a green one) and the Apple store in Soho, (because of it incredible glass bridge and staircase).

Conde Nast building: It is a great 264-meters tall skyscraper, located right in the middle of Times Square. The building consists of 48 storeys of offices. It was called “environmentally correct”, ‘cause it meets all the requirements of both state and world, thus, providing people working in it with the exceptionally clean, fresh and useful working conditions.

The Brooklyn Museum of Art:  The glass and steel structure makes it so insanely addictive both to visit and view that you simply can’t leave it unnoticed. The Brooklyn Museum presents one of the best collections of Egyptian Art in the world. There are 28 period rooms and a great selection of American Paintings.

Prada store New York: It is the centerpiece of Prada’s flagship store, and it is located in Soho. Most people come to one conclusion, this shop makes them buy things and creates really nice and comfortable atmosphere and the range of goods is impressive.

Rose Center for Earth and Space: This futuristic and illuminated 87-foot diameter sphere, seems to float in the space, it attracts many people and shocks them before they find out that it is the redesign and reconstruction of the Hayden Planetarium.

Apple store Soho: It is not a store, it is an Apple world. The store was opened in the summer of 2002 in and it was converted from a Soho post office. the exterior of the store reminded the same as it was in 1920s – stone and brick post office. The interior looks a bit cooler, white, clean inside and with a glass staircase and a glass bridge upstairs.

Grand central terminal: It was initially built in 1903-1913, and afterwards restored by Beyer, Blinder & Belle in 1998. Till the present moment most people call this Beaux-Arts beauty as Grand Central Station, but, actually, it is a terminal. Once coming in it, you will get into another world and another time. It is a great and very popular train station (Pennsylvania Station is highly impressive as well). What is more, the main meeting point there is brass clock atop the Information Booth.

Morgan Library expansion: What is noticeable about this Morgan Library, is that is considered to be a real masterpiece, thus uniting three existing buildings with a skylit atrium space. What is more, it possesses a huge underground area in order to store various collections of manuscripts and other artifacts.

Chrysler building: This building doesn’t have a public observation deck and it is not so famous as the State Empire building, but Bell decide to repair an omission. This building was the tallest one in New York till 1974 and later it was surpassed by the Sears Tower. It is a perfect reflection of the Art Deco style, uniting both elegance and fun.

Hearst tower: This 42-story tower was officially opened in 2002 and possesses great architectural ensembles. It is extremely exciting, but it doesn’t have the 13th floor, thus, nobody will have no fear. 

Seagram building: It is and elegant glass building made with aesthetic touch, it is elegant and meets all the European standards. It was the first to get large floor-to-ceiling windows. It is a kind of a skyscraper but in international style.

Most people and critics believe that it’s all about money. Parisians claim that it’s more about Abu Dhabi open politics and a new vision of life. France is centered on itself and it’s time to give way to fulfil a new mission.

Don’t worry, neither Mona Lisa nor Venus di Milo will leave Paris. The Louvre has many inventory items to spare. Actually, franchise gains popularity even in art. For example, 10 years ago New York’s popular Guggenheim opened a so-called branch in a Spanish city Bilbao. Both profited from this decision. A tricky fact, France was among the main critics as to the Guggenheim’s intentions.

Abu Dhabi director of tourism thinks, that visitors will come from all over the world. There is a special place in Abu Dhabi devoted to foreign cultural institutions, even Yale University is expected to open a branch of its art school here.

Deep pockets can do everything, or, at  least, almost everything.

They don’t necessarily suppose each other, love is devotion, a commitment, a long-term felling, and that can make you happy even when there are no reasons to be happy. And passion – it is a ghost with love face. It is only physical love; it is a strong attraction…

I remember a situation. When I was only 15 years old, I used to fell in love with people, whom I didn’t know at all, I mean his name and appearance was the only knowledge of him. Now, it sounds ridiculous and I am glad, that today my eyes are opened wide and I exactly know how to define these to feelings and not to confuse them. But, there some situations, when you just want to lose your head from love, flirt, infatuation, to feel yourself happy and free, careless and safe and to find out – everything is possible, this feeling you can obtain visiting the following cities:

Its Canals unites the present and the past and open the doors into the future. Visit this unsurpassed place, enjoy the peace of its Canals, look at gondolas with your own eyes, and walk by the paths of ancient palazzo. Drink a cup of hot tea or cappuccino together with pigeons in Piazza San Marco or just meet a nice stranger and kiss with him on the Bridge of Sighs. Feel the atmosphere of love!

Passion can be perceived at each part of this city!

PARIS

What can be said about Paris that is still unknown to public? A lot treat it as the world’s most romantic city. Love is an integral part of it. Each brick, each person, each smile radiates it.

It is so touching! Than you can do shopping and while doing this meet a handsome stranger or just a beautiful liar, who will make you crazy and love, for sure, will come to your heart and soul and make them happy too!

LONDON

Sometimes it seems to me, that this city is a centre of everything: life, traditions, experience and future.

Traditionally, it is supposed, that London is grey and uncomfortable, big and alien. It is so easy to get lost in it, to merge with this city and forget who you are. So many sightseeing, so many lonely people, but usually, under cloud of night, they can gather together and spend some time while talking to each other, exchanging news and information, letting cat out of the bag and usual to England cup of tea with milk unites them and warms their souls up.

PRAGUE

Lose yourself in the beauty of this ancient town. Prague is famous for its bridges, there are a great number of them, block stone streets and roads, medieval architecture and comfortable cafes. Sometimes, it looks like a small Venice. It has a well-known watch with gnomes and the Charles Bridge, where you can meet a Prince on the white horse and he will steal you and take to his Palace. Here, you will understand – love, passion and romantic attitude is still alive!

SAINT PETERSBURG

It is a great, glorious and marvellous Russian city. It is so romantic to stay there, especially, when the nights are white and the bridges are separated. You can meet a sunset at the shore of Niva-river and enjoy the peace and calmness. Various museums and art galleries, as well as castles and palaces are waiting for you, to share their history with such a thankful and attentive visitor! Don’t keep them waiting!

BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires is an incredible combination of Latin America’s Culture and European cloaked in a European intelligence and soft charm. The whole Argentine is a tango country, people are dancing everywhere. This dance is first of all a passion, love, infatuation. It is full of unexpressed desire, invisible hints and body language. It is no better place, to feel yourself beloved and to get acquainted with a sexy stranger, who is dancing next to you!

DUBROVNIK, Croatia

Adriatic has many “pearls”, but the city of Dubrovnik is the most significant. It can compete even with the acknowledged romantic cities, such as Paris and Venice. It is situated in Croatia and has a status and fame of the coastal resort. Blue, clear waters of Adriatic, limestone precipices and attractive old marble-paved streets together with antique churches, squares and castles leaves no chance to withstand their beauty.
