There is Phrase Rome was not built in a day

There is Phrase Rome was not built in a day, why this phrase was made I was very confuse and always used to think that what is the meaning of this when I was studying, but when I visited Romefor the first time I got the answer, How beautiful is Rome you only come to know when you visit, Rome has world best architect in the world,

I personally think Rome is one of the most beautiful cities in the world rather I will say it is the best , if you visit Rome at least you need 2 full days , visit to Colosseum  and Vatican city is must , Colosseum is the oldest amphitheater where people of Rome used to see live fight between gladiators( there slaves ) and animals and also Vatican city where pope lives , I will advise to visit Spanish steps and also Rome prettiest square that is plaza navona , you must enjoy out door café and must enjoy tartufo dessert ,if you like shopping as Italy is the hub of all famous brands like Prada , Armani etc then Viadci Can dotti is the place for shopping  , 3 rd day you can take early morning train from Termini Railway station for Florence and 1 day inFlorence is fine , from Rome Florence distance by high speed train is 1 hour – 30 minutes , get down at Florence famous  railway  station FlorenceSanta Maria Novella busiest Railway  station of Italy  , just opt for day trip to leaning tour of pisa which is one hour drive from Florence , enjoy walking in city Centre in Florence , next day morning take a train to Venice , Venice is one of the most romantic place in the world , this is the place for honeymooners , families , shopping lovers and  lot of things to do , it is very lively  , this is the place for party lovers looking for good food and drinks with nice music , I personally love this place , Venice has 2 railway station  Venice Santa Lucia and second on is Mastre , some trains goes till Mastre and some goes at Lucia , if you want stay in the main island that is the best place to get down is lucia  station for you ,when you get down at Venice there are lot of water taxis booth out side station and when you show them your hotel address they will assist you and you can taka public water taxi to your hotel ,

Venice st marks square is the main attraction where you find lot of people dancing and enjoying all though the day , lot of people will tell you to go to Murano and Burano some hotels offer free visit but  I personally think that it is a time waste as things are 4 times more expensive then normal price better to shop at Venice , gondola ride is a amazing experience , I am very sure that once you will visit Venice you will be in love with Venice , 2 days are enough in this Romantic city , next day morning take a train to Milan fashion city of the world , if you like fashion then this is the place , 2 days are enough in Milan , visit Dumo , 5 th largest church in the world , I can suggest one full day at out let malls which are 2 hours drive from Milan and believe me my first visit  I could not believe all the world brands original outlets with almost half prices and all genuine I will recommend all the shopping lovers to must go there .

How to Plan A trip to Greece from India

In My travel carrier I had a chance to visit many places in the world but Mykonos is one of the best place I have visited in my life ,from India there is no direct flight to Athens but  all middle east carriers connect to Athens , when you reach Athens and heads for the city better to stay near plaka , center of Athens and best market of Athens with lots of restaurants and pubs and also famous for shopping , tour to  acropolis and also museum is must see in Athens , and also recommend city tour which covers first Olympic stadium and also prime minister house where you can see march past happening 24 hours , I had a chance to visit so I recommend to all my friends night tour in Athens followed by a traditional  dance where the theme was if you like dinner you have to come on stage and break your plate that was just unforgettable experience of my life that was too good ,

Blue star is the main company operating ferries between Athens and Mykonos , they start from Rafina Port and take almost 7 hours  to Mykonos , if you are looking for party atmosphere Mykonos is the place to be , Mykonos famous beaches are paradise and new paradise beach as also called as nude beaches , and the night clubs in Mykonos are not to be missed but be careful as they start operating after1 mid night and goes till 8 am in the morning , Mykonos has beautiful market with the name Mykonos town it is a huge market and have all world brands and this market is also one of the attraction of Mykonos as all shops are with white  and blue , if you like driving then you can hire a scooter for 24 hours , price per day is 20 euro and also they give you scooter on Indian license but be careful as this is complete left hand drive so be little careful , best time to be in Mykonos is from June till September , 2 days are minimum required in Mykonos

From Santorini taking as speed ferry is a better idea it takes 3 hours , Santorini is on cliff but so beautiful that it is very difficult to express , there are 2 famous point is Santorini  one is Fira and other one is Oia , both are other ends but both are worth visiting and taking a local bus from one point to another is very good idea just charge 5 euro, Santorini is very romantic place and good for honeymooners and families , taking a volcanic tour from Santorini is a good idea it takes almost half a day , I will advise 2 days minimum in Santorini,

I will advise all my friends who all are reading my article that Greece is the place you can visit many times in your life , I am also attaching some original you tube videos which I click on my first tour to Greece 

Precautions to be taken in Pattaya

Dear Friends Pattaya is beautiful place and this has one of the best night Life in the world , as I been promoting Pattaya from almost 20 years now , from last 5 years I am been getting one complaint from the clients and the complaint is same with all clients that they get in  Trap of water sports people , actually this is really getting serious , I also approached tourism authority of india and discussed this matter with them ,

Water sports it is a trap when you go for water sports and negotiate with water sports vendor they give you very attractive deal and by saying that you can hire water scooter for half an hour and drive of your own so normally getting very special price tourist get attract and they opt for it but they don’t know that they are getting trapped by their  mafia , when you finish your adventure they tell you that you have damage there water scooter and we have heard in some cases damages are demanded  upto 5000 usd , normally in all these cases tourist have called for police and police is also part of this mafia , police has not help any of the tourist till today in these type of cases , rather they scared tourist  by saying that they will put both parties behind bars so finally tourist has no option to compromise by paying damages to water sports vendors and I have almost heard 100 + cases in last 5 years , so my suggestion to all my friends who are going to Pattaya be away from water sports and if you really cant resist then don’t get trap in there attractive offers .

Abu Dhabi , Yas Island

Friends as been promoting Dubai from more then a decade last one year I  have experience that lot of people starting going to Abu dhabi , as on 16 th august 2105  our Respective Prime minister of India Mr Modi   visited    most beautiful Mosque of the world Sheikh Zayed Mosque this also situated in Abu Dhabi and this mosque is some thing not to be missed ,  Abu Dhabi has world best attractions like Ferrari world Abu Dhabi situated at Yas island  Abu Dhabi ( famous for it most exotic   rides ) it is also famous for Roller coaster Rosa which is fastest roller coaster in the world , then personally I will say that if you are going to abu dhabi you can skip Atlantis because there is nothing too great about Atlantis hotel just it is the water park called aqua venture and lost chambers but Abu Dhabi  Yas water world is 5 times bigger then Atlantis water park and also with latest  water rides so better to stay in Abu Dhabi and enjoy Ferrari park and water world instead of going to Atlantis and paying 3 times of the price , Abu Dhabi is also famous for shopping having all  brands at times you get better deals then Dubai because they are promoting , so in short all my friends if planning a trip to Dubai doing 3 nights Dubai + 2 nights Abu Dhabi is a better option .

When and where to stay in Goa

Goa has become whole year destination, in my travel carrier of 19 years I have observed that lot people they come to our office and inquire about Goa and they have fascination to stay in north Goa not in South Goa , and they say that we have heard that north Goa is better then South Goa but this is actually a myth nothing else , according to me it depends if some one is on Honeymoon and looking for a nice clean beach with privacy and very decent crowd  so that they can sit and romance on beach then definitely South Goa , if  it is summers and  temperature of Goa is 35 degree + then I will strongly recommend some one to stay either in north or south but it is better to opt for a hotel which is bang on the beach and have all facilities because there is nothing to do much in Goa in summers except to enjoy your hotel as beaches are almost empty , no shacks and water sports in summers so no beach life the only thing you can enjoy is ocean from your hotel and hotel facilities so I will advise to all my friends who are looking for a holiday in summers to goa should not focus or north Goa or South Goa but try to opt for a good hotel and should be on the beach ,

people who are looking for not private beaches but common beaches where they can see lot of foreigners sun bathing on the beach yes of course north Goa is better please to be  but again depends what time your are visiting , my recommendation is if you want to enjoy local beaches with lot of foreigners drinking and partying on the beach then from 15 December till 31 st march rather I will say from 10 January to 31 st march is the  best foreigner crowd you find in Goa ,

Tourist who are looking for open bars and pubs where they can dance , you find both in south and north goa but of course more are in north Goa but again if you want to enjoy them then 15th December to 31 st march is the best time to go ,

But again if you want to enjoy white sands and clean beaches with limited crowd and  very good crowd and  you have your partner with you where you don’t have any fancy for going on streets rather you like to enjoy beach  with your partner and need privacy where you don’t want much crowd to disturb your privacy then of course I will recommend South Goa , so all my friends who are reading my article I will suggest that please see the purpose of the holiday and according to that select your stay in Goa
