Things to do in Paris France. My ultimate travel guide for visitors

…I’m focusing on if you have limited time in Paris and will have a separate review of it. I will focus on the key things to see as a first time visitor, and if you have limited time to see the best and right things. #1: Do a City Tour Open Deck Bus tour: Whenever I go to a city, one of the things I recommend if you have limited time is always to go on one of those open‑top bus tours. It sounds very touristy and for those without a sense of adventur…

Concorde Lafayette Paris Hotel. Stunning Paris Views From 33rd Floor.

…very complimentary as the hotel rooms were shabby and old fashioned.

Rocco Forte Augustine Hotel. One of The Very Best Prague Hotels

This is a review of the stunning Rocco Forte Augustine Hotel. One of The Very Best Prague Hotels! Based on an initial brief visit to The Augustine for a flying work visit, I decided to return for an Easter long weekend as I was so struck with the place – and also (of course) how beautiful Prague was and how I needed to explore it more. So how did the hotel rate after spending 3 nights there? Overall good, though there are some flaws that were sli…

Sao Paulo (Brazil) : Sofitel Hotel

…ra here in Sao Paulo. View of Sao Paulo from my room in Sofitel Here is my review of the hotel: I liked this hotel. The rooms are large; the food is good and the staff all very helpful and friendly. While the hotel basically overlooks an interchange it is very near to the large public park that locals can be seen streaming into on the weekend and makes for a very pleasant place to escape to near the hotel. The whole area the hotel is in is very we…
