While these significant legal strides might not mean that every village – or even every larger city – is ready to fully embrace same-sex relationships, Ireland has become a rather welcoming country for the most part and is a wonderful choice for gay travel. Many larger cities, such as Galway, Dublin, Cork and Waterford, have active, visible communities, LGBT-owned and LGBT-friendly establishments, and enough attractions and activities to fill an entire trip; however, whether you travel to Ireland solo or with organized gay tours, you will not want to miss the beautiful Irish countryside or the quaint, small villages that are scattered about the landscape or overlooking awe-inspiring coastal cliffs.

There are now many Irish cities that have LGBT organizations, popular hangouts, annual celebrations and a thriving community, but Dublin remains the unquestionable center of Irish LGBT life, making it an absolute must-see during gay travel to Ireland. The nightlife in Dublin is an interesting blend of upscale clubs with dress codes and a casual LGBT pub scene, which allows those on gay vacations to Ireland to experience different aspects of LGBT life in Dublin. Depending on when you arrive, you may also have the opportunity to take part in one of Dublin’s annual community events, including the Dublin Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in July, Dublin International LGBTQ Pride in June, and the popular Dublin Gay Theatre Festival, which takes place each May.

There is always something going on in Dublin, on either a small or large scale, so it is a good idea to pick up a copy of GNC, Ireland’s main community magazine, when you arrive in town. There are many must-see attractions when partaking in gay travel in Dublin, including the Guinness Storehouse, the Old Jameson Distillery, the Hugh Lane Gallery, the Book of Kells, the Oscar Wilde House Museum and Dublin’s quintessential LGBT bar, The George.

Folks planning gay tours should consider partaking in group gay tours to ensure that they do not miss out on the plethora of historical, cultural and natural attractions that this intriguing, romantic nation has to offer.

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and also the most popular vacation destination in the nation an many tourists fail to see the enormous benefit of visiting the nearby city of Glasgow.

Glasgow is a lively and vibrant city attracting more and more visitors annually. While most folk visit to enjoy the vibrant nightlife that the city offers more people are becoming aware of the many artistic and cultural elements of this fascinating city. Below I introduce the reader to three such places to visit in Glasgow.

The Glasgow School of Art: The building was originally founded in 1845 as the Glasgow Government School of Design, but in 1853 the school changed it’s name to The Glasgow School of Art. Originally it was located at 12 Ingram Street, but moved in 1869 to the McLellan Galleries. In 1897 work began on a new building to house the school on Renfrew Street. It was this new building that Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed, which was completed in 1909. The school actually spreads across 10 buildings, and it is The Mackintosh Building, or ‘The Mac’, as it is affectionately known, that is the heart of the campus. The Mackintosh Building also houses the Mackintosh gallery, which holds many different exhibitions throughout the year.

The House for An Art Lover: House For An Art Lover is one of Glasgow’s most popular attractions. The Art Nouveau House was orignally designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Glasgow’s most famous architect, with the help of his wife Margaret Macdonald. The design was for a competition, in 1901, to design a House for an Art Lover. The Mackintoshs entry was disqualified from the competition, on the grounds of late submission. Over 100 years later, the house now stands completed in Bellahouston Park, thanks to engineer Graham Roxburgh and architect Professor Andy Macmillan. Building work began in 1989 but was then halted, and resumed again in 1994, due to the collaboration between Glasgow City Council and Glasgow School of Art.

The Peoples Palace: The People’s Palace and Winter Gardens are a museum and glasshouse situated near Glasgow Green. They were opened on 22nd January 1898 by the Earl of Rosebery, and were intended to provide a cultural centre for the people of Glasgow. The ground floor originally provided reading and recreation rooms. However, since the 1940’s, it has been Glasgow’s social history museum, and tells the story of the people and the city from 1750 to the present day. Attached to the People’s Palace is the Winter Gardens, an elegant Victorian Glassghouse where on can relax among the tropical plants, or enjoy the cafe.

Of course there are a great many more cultural attractions in Glasgow so when you are next planning a Scottish vacation you should investigate this stimulating city further. One final word is that you may have difficulty finding hotel vacancies at times so it is well worth booking your accommodation at the earliest opportunity.

The article below takes a look at the Scottish city of Glasgow, once the second city of the British Empire, and some of the places in and around the area that you may wish to visit if you choose to take a vacation here.

Bagpipes and tartan, as soon as you hear these words or see these two items, the odds are that the word “Scotland” will spring to mind (or vice versa). You usually see these items in a lovely piece of art or on a box of shortbread. While many see the history of Scotland as romantic many see the raw facts and accept that most points in the history of Scotland are punctuated by battles and bloodshed. Just looking across the stunning landscapes you will, in only a short distance, come across a historical site associated with the nation’s turbulent history. In fact these sites draw enormous numbers of folk each and every year.

Sometimes it can be difficult to get around to see a reasonable number of these important sites but if you choose to stay in Glasgow you will be pleasantly surprised how many superb historical sites are within easy reach. Below I take a look at three brilliant examples of the places you can visit when you stay in this exciting city, Glasgow Cathedral, Crookston Castle and Newark Castle.

Glasgow Cathedral

St. Mungo is the patron saint of Glasgow and the city’s most ancient Cathedral is dedicated to him. Glasgow has much to thank the saint for as it was he who first built a church there in the seventh century thus setting the foundations of this important city. St. mungo died in 612 and his original building was extended, altered and eventually replaced during the twelfth to thirteenth centuries. The Cathedral was consecrated in the year 1197, making it one of only a small number of medieval ecclesiastical buildings still standing following the destruction during the years of the Scottish Reformation and it is one of Glasgow’s most important landmarks.

Crookston Castle

Crookston Castle is most well known for being owned by the Darnley Stewarts. It was Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley who became the second husband of Mary Queen of Scots. The castle is a stone ringwork fortress and keep built, by Sir Robert de Croc, during the 12th century passing over to the Stewarts i the mid 14th century.

Newark Castle

George Maxwell built Newark Castle, in 1478, overlooking the Firth of Clyde on a commanding position on the south shore. Over the years massive structural changes were made to the building, not least by, Sir Patrick Maxwell who, in 1597, created a new north range. Some elements of the original castle can still be seen and the castle is now in the care of Historic Scotland.

The above is just a small selection from a very large number of Glasgow attractions and if this is not enough for you, you could always visit the nearby cities of Edinburgh and Stirling. These two cities will especially interest those have a fascination of castles. Glasgow really is hard to beat as a vacation destination in Scotland.

Out of all the hotels in Havana the most charming are the one located in Havana’s Old Town. Its location is privileged – only few steps away from the most amusing corners of Havana.

Among those fascinating hotels, it is worth mentioning the four-stars Hotel Florida, one of Havana’s most historic places for been one of the first hotels ever built in San Cristobal de la Habana (full name of the Cuban capital) in the Nineteenth Century.

Hotel Florida has 25 rooms. Four of them are suites, while the other 21 are standard rooms. The place exudes comfort through and through. The Bodeguita del Medio bar is not far away and visitors can find transport easily in the form of horse-drawn carriages which are parked outside the hotel.

This hotel opened to the public in 1899 and since that very moment, it has drawn the attention of travellers who enjoy stopping by and admiring its grand architecture style. Its roomy court yard is very cosy and invites you to seat and relax while sipping one of Havana’s most famous cocktails ‘El Mojito’.

According to some sources, it is believed that this hotel was built in 1836 and it was the residence of remarkable businessmen of that time. Among them, it can be mentioned the count of San Ignacio as well as the wealthy and paramount Spanish count Jose Eugenio Mor.

Only few decades after this palace was built it was abandoned. The palace lost all its charm until it was bought by an American entrepreneur who transformed it into one of the grandest hotels in Havana in the Nineteenth Century. Perhaps a coincidence but not to far from Florida Hotel is today?s most famous Cuban bar called Floridita which have franchises all over the world.

Hotel Florida can be your number one option for accommodation in Havana. Intimacy, excellent service and lots of character will make of your stay in Havana one to enjoy and remember as a fantastic experience.

If you are going to make European tours, you may have seen that they tend to focus on the usual places.

You may find endless tours advertised for cities like Paris, Rome, London, and Barcelona. But other European cities provide extraordinary attractions that tourists hear little about.

For instance, you may have never thought of going to Budapest, but “the City of Spas” and “Queen of the Danube” is a European attraction. Capital of Hungary, Budapest offers a wealth of history and architecture to lure any tourist. Even the citizens are held in amazement of this magnificent city.

Budapest’s Marvelous History

Budapest is a sightseer’s dream. Natural resplendence combined with amazing architecture unites to make a enthralling scene. There are also myriad activities to keep you occupied on your European vacation.

The Budapest History Museum and Castle Museum are the important collection of Budapest?s archaeological unearthings and developments of the area from Romanic age.

Check out the well known railway system at the Transport Museum. It is one of the oldest collections of its sort. The variety and scope of history which exist in these museums is mind blowing. You could visit time and again and still know something interesting.

A fragment of that diverse history is the story of Budapest’s Jewish population, and visitors can explore this too.

It can be hard to think that in this spectacular and stunning city, a half million people were taken to Auschwitz. Among the splendor lies a reminder of what tragedy was faced by these residents.

The Glory of Mother Earth

If you have physical strains, try visiting one of Budapest’s hot springs. These natural origins of warm water are believed to have powerful healing qualities.

These are utilized as thermal baths, and visitors come from all over the globe to this City of Spas. Each spring or bath has its own story of origin.

Its no surprise people journey across the world to come to Budapest. The Szechenyi Bath is enough to make it worth the stressful journey. Its hot and deep water make it a place of interest even in the frigid winter air. Nowhere else in Europe can you find such a large, and perfect, bathing complex.

As if soaking in a natural, outdoor thermal bath weren’t remarkable enough, Budapest also houses beautiful caves. Carved by the springs, these provide yet one more amazing attraction to explore. Visiting Budapest is not unlike visiting a paradise.

Tours are available through a small number of the caves. This is truly a tour that appeals to the mind and the body.

If you think Europe only stands as far as Rome and London, you’ll be pleasantly amazed to find that Budapest is very much worth the trip. Take a trip out of the normal and be awed by the magnificence of Budapest.
