India on the Move: "Incoming or outgoing, the world's second-biggest nation is now a travel crossroads.
Imagine landing at the airport of a booming metropolis only to step off the plane and feel you've touched down 40 years back in time. Roll your luggage outside the cramped airport and you face the seedy hustle of thin guys offering taxi rides in sedans that have looked the same since the 1950s. Roads seem to have been built then, too. The acrid smell of pollution hangs heavy in the warm night air as you shoo away some of the world's most persistent flies..."

A century ago, it was a tranquil town whose coral-and-gypsum huts housed Bedouin traders and pearl divers. Today the merchants have gone international and science-fiction skyscrapers stand alongside the mosques and wind towers of Old Dubai."

Kroatien, die Perle der Adria, bezaubert immer mehr Urlauber mit seiner zerklüfteten Küste, der mehr als tausend Inseln vorgelagert sind. Da ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass immer mehr Menschen ihre Ferien in diesem sonnenverwöhnten Land mit seinen zahlreichen Naturparks und geschichtsträchtigen Städten verbringen.
Die Altstadt Zagrebs lässt sich am besten zu Fuß erkunden. Für einen Ausflug bietet sich das bewaldete Medvednica-Gebirge an – besuchen Sie zum Beispiel die mittelalterliche Burg Medvedgrad oder die Veternica-Höhle!
Dubrovnik mit seinen restaurierten Marmorplätzen, seinen Gassen mit Kopfsteinpflaster und seinen Befestigungsmauern aus der frühen Neuzeit ist ebenfalls ein lohnendes Reiseziel. Weitere Städte, die immer einen Besuch wert sind, sind zum Beispiel Split und das benachbarte Solin – mit der vielleicht interessantesten archäologischen Ausgrabungsstätte Kroatiens.

Hotel Club Net Online Reservation Service Ireland Hotels: "It's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten, and for once the blarney rings true. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, the country's history is almost tangible, and its people seem put on earth expressly to restore faith in humanity.
The weather may sometimes give you the impression that you're swimming through an airborne ocean, but the truly luminous greens, luxuriant wildflowers, and afternoons spent holed up in riotous pubs will more than console you for the webbed feet you'll need to grow.
Ireland has recently been on an economic rollercoaster ride; if the Celtic Tiger's fur is looking a little shabby these days, the legacy of those heady days lingers in its cities' newfound gloss. The country may not be quite the paradise that its misty-eyed emigr�s tend to portray, but it's nonetheless home to one of the most gregarious and welcoming people in Europe."

Deutschland hat in den letzten Jahrhunderten Geschichte gemacht, vielleicht mehr als jedes andere Land Europas.
Und zugleich hat die Geschichte tiefe Spuren hinterlassen: in Xanten am Limes, in der Kaiserstadt Goslar, in der Wartburg bei Eisenach, auf dem Hambacher Schloss, in der Leipziger Nikolaikirche. Eine der bedeutendsten Geschichtsspuren, die Teilung des Landes durch Nationalsozialismus, Krieg und Sozialismus, wurde erst vor zehn Jahren beseitigt. Nun sind viele Landschaften, die lange hinter dem Eisernen Vorhang verschlossen waren, zugänglich und machen den traditionellen Feriengebieten, den Küsten Schleswig-Holsteins und Niedersachsens, den Wäldern und Bergen der bayerischen Alpen und dem Schwarzwald und der Bodenseeregion, erfolgreich Konkurrenz. Millionen zieht es nun an die Ostseeküste Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns mit den Inseln Rügen und Usedom, viele erkunden die dünn besiedelte Mecklenburgische Seenplatte oder die Sächsische Schweiz mit ihren bizarren Felsnadeln. Deutschland ist größer und vielfältiger geworden, aber auch schwieriger: Das Zusammenwachsen der beiden fast ein halbes Jahrhundert getrennten Teile wird das Land noch Jahre beschäftigen.
