European Vacations to Exciting Prague

European Vacations to Exciting Prague

Prague is a great start to your Eastern European vacations!The clubbing scene can be rowdy, with binge drinking and bar-top stripping often included in the experience. In fact, local Czech beers are considered a national treasure. The most popular label is Gambrinus, although it is not reputed to be the best. That distinction is currently held by Kozels Medium -- named Best Czech Beer by the Research Institute of Brewing & Malting Awards. But if you ask any local about their beer preference, Pilsner Urquell is the hands-down favorite; many say it is because of the water quality in the city which is used for brewing. Remember to also set aside a day or two from your clubbing to visit the sites in Prague. The Prague Orloj, a medieval astronomical clock, has been in the town square since 1490. Every hour between 8 in the morning and 8 in the evening, wooden images of the Apostles emerge from the clock's trap doors, while four figures representing Greed, Vanity, Death and the Turk are set in motion. While waiting for the show to start, kill time by trying to figure out the zodiac figures on the clock face!

Explore Charming Lisbon on European Vacations

The city of Lisbon is a popular destination for people traveling on European vacations. Although it is very small compared to other capital cities, Lisbon in Portugal is equally quaint and charming. Cobblestone streets, rolling hills, and pastel-themed houses line the shores of this port city, its sidewalks accented with mosaics. Relax in the Art Nouveau cafes, or take a scenic ride on an antique wooden streetcar. You can also ride a 1902 street elevator, the Elevator de Santa Justa, from Baixa up the steep Barrio Alto, where you can get breathtaking views of the city. Another place to hit for equally breathtaking scenes is the viewing platform at the Padro dos Descobrimentos, a stunning 179-foot monument that commemorates the Age of Discoveries. After visiting the museum inside, head to the Belm Tower -- a four-storey, 100-foot 16th century tower built from lioz limestone, which played a considerable role in the Portuguese maritime achievements of that time.
