A visit to the Channel Islands is always fraught with interesting adventures. Whatever time of the year you come here - there is always something to look at. You can enjoy seascapes, explore ancient castles and other sights, or you can just enjoy quiet walks along the seashore. In addition to the island of Jersey, you can visit the neighboring Guernsey or go on an exciting journey to the uninhabited islands of Acreus, located next door.
These islands are located to the northeast of Jersey, and for a long time were a disputed territory, because they are only 12 km from the coast of France. In the 50s of the 20th century it was finally decided that the islands are still under the auspices of England. Nevertheless, the French continue to engage in fishing in the waters of the islands, and they themselves would not mind spending some pleasant hours there.
Ecreus has no fresh water, and there have never been residential settlements here. The island is surrounded by fossil reefs of various sizes. The length of the island is 300 meters. Untouched nature, complete unity with which will appeal to any traveler. Excursion to Ecreus will last half a day. During this time, the Russian-speaking guide will be happy to tell you about the features of flora and fauna, show the most picturesque landscapes. If you are an avid fisherman or just like to watch the process, then you can safely plan such a trip - here fishing is one of the main activities.

The amazingly clear water near the island allows you to see the seabed and its inhabitants in great detail. 

This day will be a real decoration of your holiday. You can get here on a small boat. You will never regret 

the time spent for a second, so feel free to go to Acreus!

It may surprise someone, but to rest in the West for a fairly low price is quite real, the main thing is to know where to go. Slovakia, the Czech Republic or Hungary - these are the budget countries in Europe for travel, which should be paid attention to travelers who want to save money. So, in Germany, France, Austria and England prices will be much higher and, accordingly, the rest in these countries will cost more. A great advantage is that, resting, for example, in the Czech Republic, it is possible for a small amount to travel by train or bus to another neighboring country and spend there some part of the holiday, and this will be the most exciting and at the same time budget independent euro-trip.

This is the first country located in the southern part of the continent, opening the list of European countries with the cheapest tourism.

Dine in a cafe here can be an average of $ 5, and in a restaurant - twice as expensive. Tequila here costs 15 dollars. A pack of cigarettes 1.2 dollars.

Many people ask what can be seen and what to do in Malta, because usually knowledge about this

 country is not as great as about other European countries. And this is understandable. Honestly, 

there is no such thing as “the best route to Malta” - on this small island you can easily see and 

implement everything that was planned. So, if you want to spend a weekend in Malta or are planning

 a longer stay in Malta for 5 days, 7 days or more, there are many opportunities for cheap holidays 

in Malta if you know where to look for them and how to plan your pastime. All the necessary 

information you can learn from just one article! Here is our guide to help you get your perfect 

Malta route.

Before we dive, the country of Malta actually consists of three islands: the main island of Malta, which is the largest, smallest island of Gozo in the north-west, to which you can take a ferry, and the smallest island of Comino in between Malta and Gozo (also available for visiting only by boat). Driving a car - you can get from the southernmost edge of the main island from where the ferry 

leaves for Gozo, to the north-west in about an hour. This is the entire length of the main island. 

One hour!

However, the whole
island is very easy to get around. Many places and attractions can be visited
in half a day or even in a day from anywhere in the island, depending on where
you are staying. Many attractions are available from the so-called “central
points” - Valletta and Slim. A walk through these cities will allow you to see
the entire capital and visit the most populated part of Malta if you do not
have a lot of time. If you are just planning
to spend up to 2-3 days on the island and only in Valletta or Sliema, you will
not need a car, since you can safely move around the city on foot or take a
taxi in case of emergency. By taxi to the airport you can get at a fixed rate,
and in fact it will be all your needs in the car. See below the section
“Official and private taxis”. 

One of the most popular destinations for tourists traveling in Germany is Bavaria. This is not surprising, because it is here that you can observe not only the famous castles of Bavaria all over the world, not only beautiful alpine meadows and real “Alpine cows”, as if from the Milka ad, but also just beautiful mountain landscapes and other beauties, like descended from the picture guide. However, Bavaria is practically an independent world and at first glance it may seem that you can 

conquer it only by purchasing a tour of the castles of Bavaria. However, this is not the case - a little

desire and time will help you plan your dream trip.

For travelers who have decided to conquer the magic of
Bavaria, I want to give some tips:

- firstly, if your main goal is Bavaria, then select
Munich as your destination (arrival).

Personally, I did it differently, and bought a ticket
to Berlin. I can not say that I regretted this afterwards - after all, my goal
was to get acquainted not only with Bavaria, but with Germany as a whole. That
is why in my route there was also a place for Berlin, as well as Potsdam and
Dresden. However, such a route is physically difficult. That is why I would
recommend starting your journey around Bavaria from the arrival in Munich: you
will spend less time on the road and you will have more time to explore
Bavaria.

Of course, you can purchase an excursion tour
"Castles of Bavaria". This will deprive you of the need to book a car
and develop a route for visits However, in my opinion, booking a car is much
more convenient and economical.
The only thing I
insist on is very strong - do not travel around Bavaria by public transport. Do
not be surprised, nobody canceled the possibility of traveling by regular
buses! However, the impressions will still be not the same, and you will spend
a lot of time on travels. The price of this card
for 2015 is 45 euros for one visitor, and for two (the so-called “family
ticket”) - only 65 euros. As I have already explained, the validity of this
card is 14 days from the date of the first visit to one of the landmarks from
the list. 

You can purchase this
card at the checkout of any of the castles that you can visit on it. Please
note that this map does not apply to all the castles and sights of Bavaria. In
addition, if you are staying initially in Munich, then it will be more
convenient to purchase a ticket right here - the map also applies to many of
the attractions of Munich. 
So, after you have decided on the place and time of your
stay, you should immediately accept the fact that if you go to Germany not for
half a year, but only for a short holiday, you will not be able to see the
whole Bavaria. Therefore, you have to make a choice: which of the castles to
inspect, and which ones can be left until the next trip. And also it is
necessary to make a specific trip route.

For myself, I
determined the following plan for visiting Bavaria: 

- Munich (in spite of the fact that we flew to Berlin, we
could not not see this beautiful city. That is why we set aside a couple of
days to get to know Munich). In addition, one of the evenings in Munich, we
dedicated to visiting this football game with the participation of the world
famous club "Bavaria". 

Munich is a very special city, for inspection which is not enough
a couple of days. We also managed to visit Oktoberfest, so there was very
little time left for sightseeing. The
village of Oberammergau is famous for a completely unusual painting of houses -
the artist Franz Seraph Zwink, who was born here, laid the foundation for a
special direction of painting. These were religious frescoes, the first of
which he painted on the facade of his own house. However, they were also liked
by another villager, and orders soon fell on the young man.

In Bavaria, Oberammergau is not the only village where houses of this style have 
survived. However, here they are the most. By the way, when you arrive here, get
 ready to empty your wallet - in the village there are a lot of craftsmen selling 
wooden souvenirs. In addition, there are wonderful shops of Christmas toys. 
The two most famous Bavarian castles in Germany. In my opinion, the first of 
them owes its popularity not only to its beauty and grandeur, but also ... to the f
amous screensaver with the image of the castle, which begins the cartoons 
produced by Disney Studio.

Yes, it is this Bavarian castle that became the
prototype of the Sleeping Beauty Palace, painted in Disneyland Paris. Of
course, to visit this pearl of Germany is, I would advise to spend the night in
one of the hotels near the castle. Believe me, the breakfast overlooking
Noshvshanshtayn will be remembered for all your life.

It is easiest to
combine his visit with a tour of the castle of Heuschwangau, which is within
walking distance of the first. Heuschwangau is not as famous and more
restrained than Neuschwanstein, but in the evening in the light of the lights
it looks no less majestic. Yes, and the decoration of the halls is very
interesting. 
This is only a small tour of the castles of Bavaria, designed
for 5-6 days. In fact, there are much more objects here, but it takes much
longer to study them. Build your individual route through the castles of
Bavaria based on your budget and personal interests. I hope that small
recommendations from me will help you with this.
