Madrid Spain: my top travel tips for a weekend break in this stylish city

Palacio Real de Madrid (The Royal Palace of Madrid Madrid is a city that over the last 15 or more years I have been in and out of more times than I can remember for work. And I realised that I had seen almost nothing of it and knew very little about it. This is one of the dangers and risks of business travel, you can get lazy and forget that there are exciting places to explore. And so as I had a meeting in Madrid, booked to stay for the weekend…

NH EUROBUILDING HOTEL MADRID SPAIN: Avoid it if you can!

I really did not like this hotel. My personal advice if you are in Madrid is to find another hotel, unless you have such an amazing deal you feel you need to do it. The service is very lack lustre and off-hand, and reception is the area that this is most prevalant. They are disinterested and unhelpful, and even to the point of being slightly rude. The hotel is driven by package holiday and conferences and (in my experience) these are always hotel…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin.

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

Do Real Travellers Use Hop-on Hop-Off Bus Tours? Hop-on Hop-Off Bus Tour Madrid. Struggling to keep the earphones in… 10 years ago, rucksack on my back, guide book in my hand and feeling unadventurous I stepped onto a hop-on hop-off tour bus in Berlin. This experience changed my view of bus tours forever, challenging my snobbish view that such tours were for lazy tourists who had no sense of discovery. On that day I found another thing that I am…
