Beer lovers around the world do not sit on the lawn with a bottle of beer in their hands; they prefer to spend time in some cozy spots- beer garden, huge places with thousands of guests, cafes in open air. Tradition of all of this comes from Germany, where thousands of such establishments are present for all those who enjoy spending some part of the day with those just like them. However, the idea got spread among the rest of the lovers of beer and today in other countries there are institutions like Melbourne, and in Beijing. Here are 10 of the most famous of them.

Hofbräuhaus, Munich, Germany

It feels like on several floors of the oldest largest brewery in Munich there’s an eternal “Oktoberfest”. Buxom girl in a frank and wide neckline pleated skirts are walking around the huge hall with giant liter Maas mugs. In the center of the room there’s a small orchestra of several men in leather trousers playing folk music in traditional Bavarian tunes. Not without its beer garden: some visitors even in winter sit outdoors on the spacious yard. In the menu reigns is pork: here they even make a salad from it. And be sure to try weisswurst – traditional white Munich sausages, which are usually submitted with the freshest pretzels, cookies and sweet mustard.

Café Vlissinghe, Bruges, Belgium

This pub which is tucked away in a quiet area of St Anne’s is the oldest in the city. It was discovered in 1515. Over the past centuries and today beer lovers drop in drink lager and play surrounded by ancient stone walls of the courtyard  one of the Italian games – bochi. And when the weather conditions do not give you the chance to do so, you can sit in the living fire in a cozy room, sipping some of the local beer specialties, for example, Tripel Karmeliet of caramelized malt or Framboise Belle Vue – wheat beer with raspberry. Food for beer offered is the most varied: from wrapped in bacon cheese, goat cheese with honey to simple pasta with cheese or sausage.

Wudaokou Beer Garden, Beijing, China

I bet some of you will agree that thee least expected to see the real German beer garden is in China. Nevertheless, Beijing has its own large outdoor beer places. It feels to be something from the rural fairs: beer and snacks are sold under a huge central tent, and around the tables is an ideal spot for the noisy young men of the town and foreign students to spend time. While choosing the food, you can travel around the world: Chinese dumplings and Korean barbecue, side by side here with American hot dogs. The brand beer Tsingtao and Yangjing are sold at a very affordable price – about a dollar for a big bottle.

Letna Beer Garden, Prague, Czech Republic

This pub located on the top of pub LETINSKIY park has a magnificent view of the Old Town and the majestic ancient bridges thrown over the Vltava. The situation is very simple: the famous Czech beer Gambrinus is bottled in simple plastic cups. Of food recommend try one of the delicious smelling appetizing pizzas with mushrooms, artichokes, olives and ham.

Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden, New York, USA

Bar in the fresh air of the Queens is a favorite place for yuppies and immigrants, reminiscing about their favorite European pubs. Here everyone has fun all year round: in the shade of trees on sunny days and under tent on the rain or even snow. This beer garden can be found when following the lovely smell coming from the forthcoming barbeque and authentic Czech dumplings and sausages. Washing them down can be down with the help of classic European beer Staropramen, Hoegaarden or Krusovice, which can be poured by $ 15 per jug.

The Flask Tavern, London, UK

Here the pub is housed in former stables, built in 1633. As any respectable British institution, the beer is settled by a ghost bartender, who committed suicide because of the unrequited love. At this point, there is everything that you expect to see in a British pub: cider Bulmers and Westons, fish, chips, and in summer on an open fire cook hamburgers, steaks and pork sausages. Jumping on the bar is not recommended, do everything quietly.

Luong Son, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Despite the plastic chairs and low prices, it is quite decent pub with excellent quality of food and understanding of English among the waiters. It is worth visiting if only for the delicious BBQ beef and garlic or deep fried scorpions, which you can prepare by your own (isn’t it amazing?). To freshen up during the meal we recommend a cold Saigon beer – the best drink during the Vietnam heat and the best offer of the place.

Café Sound Garden, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Sitting at the bar with live alternative music, darts and graffiti, you can admire the boats and barges moving slowly on the surface of the channel nearby. Beer at this place is much cheaper than in other Amsterdam restaurants (eg, 2,5 dollars per Poperings Hommelbier). Choice is simply huge: about 15 varieties of bottled beer and about 5 tapped. Meals are not made to be cook on the spot, they are mostly transported from neighboring establishments. So, you will try from the range of kebab lamb from the Turkish restaurant up to crisps from the French one.

Augustiner Bräu Kloster Mülln, Salzburg, Austria

What is the best thing about this place? It’s that you do not have to look for a free space, because it exists in the XVII century pub, which is designed to fit for fifteen thousand visitors. However, they are seldom less than a thousand, because in this beer garden they offer whole 9 varieties of superb beer Augustiner! To purchase snacks you simply need to stroll past the nearby grocery stores and select anything from traditional dishes such as smoked mackerel salad with horseradish or something more compatible to your taste.

Belgian Beer Café Bluestone, Melbourne, Australia

The largest restaurant in Melbourne has decided to teach the locals  how to have a rest “in the Belgian” way- under an umbrella with a glass of beer in your hand. The Australian youth gently loved this new idea: in good weather condition the tables are crammed with young people. Kitchen meets the Belgian spirit. In the menu there are both mussels, and fried potatoes, and grilled sausages- all necessity to have a big bite. Draught beer Artois, Hoegaarden, Leffe Blonde, Leffe Brune and Belle-Vue Kriek are being poured through a special item, which guarantees the best taste and the perfect foam.

An established world capital of fashion is Milan. There one must make regular forays wishing to buy clothes that had not yet left the podium. Fashionistas from all over the world do not forget to stop in this outlet city located close to Paris, London and Barcelona and other major European cities. If you decide to cross the ocean, it is unlikely to be able to resist the temptation of shopping in New York. Fashionable addresses in this city are multiple including mega-stores in Manhattan, exclusive boutiques of fashion brands on Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue.

Cheap Clothes

Inexpensive clothing, for example, children’s shirts, shorts, socks usually require a lot of best buy in the U.S. This state has long been a center for inexpensive shopping. The main drawback is that you might need a long time flying, but if you find yourself in those parts, do not deny yourself the pleasure of returning home with a suitcase full of all kinds of junk. Another world center for consumer goods is China, where all of the products offered in various countries are made. The main street for such a useful pastime in Beijing is Yabaolu. It is mainly retail, but some stores sell goods and retails. But Beware: getting profitable deals in this country can be done only by the expert shoppers – communicating with the Chinese is very difficult.

Gems

Inexpensive gems can be bought in South-East Asia: Sri Lanka, Thailand. If you have a thorough understanding of sapphires and emeralds, you can try to get them literally on the street “in the open-air markets”. When not too confident in their ability – is to go to specialized eminent center where, together with the stone will be given a certificate clarifying the exact origin of the stone. Of course, the huge halls of such companies sell jewelry, but, unfortunately, their design is quite poor and models differ only with few small details, so better to buy them from the and get a true jeweler to make a masterpiece out of the unusual gems.

Gold

For gold and jewels, many prefer to travel to the United Arabic Emirates. Your heart quickens beating while watching women on the “gold market” which usually has a form of miles of sparkling gold glitter shops. However, upon closer examination it appears that most of it is made of dark soft “Arabic gold”, which cannot be considered to be one of the favorites of the European women, and massive glittering necklaces and bracelets that resemble chains, are unlikely to be put in a civilized society. Good choice of accustomed yellow and white gold can be found in large shopping centers. The most attractive prices are waiting for those who come for the winter shopping festival. During this period the Arabs lure tourists not only a great discount, but lotteries, where you can win a car or apartment.

Diamonds

Unlike other gems in the world diamonds have special places for purchase. The best stones are sold on the world diamond exchange in Israel. In this huge complex transact is not only designated for bulk purchases of diamonds and diamond-like stones,  but there are retail jewelry stores, exhibitions and showrooms, offices of diamond companies and even the post office and customs. All of this reminds us of the opportunity to get real diamonds.
Another brilliant reserve for the diamond retails is Amsterdam. In this “rich” city it will be rather simple to find shops and diamond stone cutting workshops at every corner. Here the experts will give the buyers good advice about how to choose the diamond and how to design the jewelry.

Watches

It’s obvious that the country of the best, most accurate clocks and watches is Switzerland. Huge selection of very expensive brands, watches with special order can be found in the boutiques of Zurich and Geneva. Let’s call those cities the cities of watch purchase possibilities. However, a good selection of the same Swiss watches with reasonable prices can be found in the Emirates. Here the brand watches come up with much cheaper prices. But not all are ready to buy a clock, equal to a value of a car, while ignoring other commodities needed. For those who are not ready to empty their wallets China offers patents of the origin watches with the quality nearly indistinguishable from the originals.

Furs

Huge selection of furs can be found in Kastoria – a region in northern Greece, where there are largest numbers of fur factories. The tour agencies even organize here shareware shop-fur-tours: tourists do not pay for the trips, but agree to spend certain amounts of money on fur purchase. But you better avoid this appealing offer: most of the time the pricing of the furs is being so much exaggerated that the trip is being paid via the fur purchase. Independent travelers are being offered a very different price which seems to be reasonable. While in Italy you might also get a chance to buy fur, especially while in the northern part of the country.

Antiques and Vintage

In London and Paris to buy real antiques can be much more profitable than in the cities of Eastern Europe. If you are interested in the old days, the main address in the French capital will be the neighborhood of the Place Vendome, and in London – Islington District, Oxford Street – Camden Market. This range can be found in other markets – Portobello. The most expensive antique shops are located near Hyde Park. Quite a lot of antique shops can be found in the vicinity of Metro Bond Street. All of these stores will offer a wide range of antiques starting from simple old books up to quite expensive jewelry and much more.

New York, USA

Interior institution created by the New York studio of “Gaia” was designed under the theme “City Life”. Equipped with luxury bar stools, deck chairs and banquettes, the restaurant seems to lure its midday visitors to leave the office for a short lunch, sit on them and spend time in luxury and comfort. However, time can not be called lost as the free Wi-Fi access allows you to open your laptop and not to miss a single e-mail or stock quotes on stock changes. Hanging chains, huge lights, wooden ceilings and black-and-white cityscapes on the walls, add rigor and comfort to the interior.

Porto, Portugal

Creating a design space in a building which itself is an architectural gem, is difficult. But those who led the transformation of the famous Porto Café Imperial into McDonald’s restaurant did an excellent job. Intervention design was minimal, but the interior has turned out to be quite modern and attractive. Last but not least thanks to a chic stained glass from floor to ceiling and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling in the baroque style.

London, UK

Even in 2006, the European branch of McDonald’s has hired a French interior designer, Philip Avantsi to create a new fashion concept of continental institutions. One of his best creations is the restaurant in the Holborn area, fully consistent with the concept “better fewer, but better.” Its stylish interiors surprisingly intertwine with recent high-tech refinements and luxurious natural materials. The stop seems to be attractive even for the well-paid judges as the place is a popular residence spot for the law supporters.

Savannah, Ga., USA

Fighters for a healthy lifestyle and a cleaner environment can fight against McDonald’s junk food, and polluting technologies and production methods of delivering products as much as they want. Now most popular global network of fast food is what they are actually opposing. In the state of Georgia  there is a restaurant based solely on “green” technologies. Huge windows in the floor passed 75% more solar radiation, which contributes to energy savings on lighting and heating facilities. Roof, in turn, is made of white retro-reflective material to reduce the cost of air conditioning. In the parking lot next to the entrance of the restaurant is reserved for bicycles and hybrid cars. Rainwater is collected in tanks and then used for watering lawns surrounding the restaurant. Through all this, the institution has received a gold certificate for environmental and energy efficiency, which are awarded only to favorites.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Looking at this restaurant, located on Princess Street, with its comfortable leather seats, wall panels, dark wood and neon stripes, you will surely decide that you got into a wrong door and ended up not at McDonald’s, but  in the fashionable internet cafe or stylish cafe. However, the high-end interior is designed to make it comfortable and be happy to get fat in them, eating one after another, hamburgers and drank their milkshake. In fairness it is worth noting that for those who follow their waistline there are two or three salads in the menu.

Los Angeles, USA

Located in the Echo Park restaurant, perhaps, this one must be called the most popular all over the huge Los Angeles. And not only because of the stylish interior, decorated in light wood, huge windows, floor to ceiling and silver arches, replacing the usual gold. They love it more for the fact that there are all conditions for a good way of spending a large company. The most popular place is a huge table for ten people, surrounded by fourteen LCDs, which are broadcast on various TV channels. Lamps made in the style of hi-tech, sometimes flicker in the rhythm flowing from the speakers popular tunes.

Paris, France

France is proud of its haute cuisine, but this does not mean that on the streets of Paris you will not find McDonald’s. The truth is that their concentration is no less than in London, which is the third city in the world by number of points of this worldwide network. And the most obvious evidence of a “forbidden love” Parisians to fast-Fudu is a restaurant located on the Rue de Rivoli. Its interior is decorated with prints of high quality fresh fruits and vegetables, its refined, almost futuristic design – all of this is very attractive. Encamped on the curved leather sofas and gentlemen, dressed from Armani and Louis Vuitton are coming for a lunch from various popular French companies. But what else to expect from McDonald’s, which opened in the capital of fashion and style?

Hacienda Heights, Los Angeles, USA

This McDonald’s in Japanese style stood in the heart of the Asian district of Los Angeles. Everything here is made in accordance with the requirements of Feng Shui. Visitors will find a host body shape leather seats, interior in natural colors, placed around the living branches of bamboo and flowing babbling waterfalls. If you are not eating vegetarian food you will want to go to the temple to atone for sins, the nearest Buddhist is in two steps.

Budapest

Abandoned railway station does not seem an obvious place where it would make sense to create a restaurant queuing. Nevertheless, the owners of the network dared to dream and opened here a restaurant which quickly became a popular institution. Seated here one should expect to hear the roar of the approaching train. But the huge panoramic windows can be seen only from the empty platform. Here you can continue admiring the antique chandeliers and painted ceilings in the blue range. Entrances of the lovely red-brick building are the massive wrought-iron gates.

London, Oxford Street, United Kingdom

The flagship restaurant is McDonald’s in Britain is decorated with the utmost delicacy and care. In developing its concept the best designers from London were involved. Its interior facilities can easily confound the many prestigious bars of London. The color palette is based on a combination of white, red and yellow, and to supplement the light, playing highlights. Chairs and tables in a retro-style mosaics and works of modern schedules, only underscore the delicacy of the atmosphere. The bar can also detect large flat panel televisions, which broadcast the latest news, and get to the Internet using free Wi-Fi.

Milan, a city in northern Italy, is the second (after Rome) on the population and the first – in popularity among tourists’ consumers. The central part of the old city and streets are small, so a taxi is not the most convenient way to travel around the city. The distance that you could walk for 15 minutes, will have to go by car for about 40 minutes.
It should be noted that it’s not just like New York where you can catch a taxi right on the street  but you might need either to call up or go to the special taxis, which are easily recognizable by the inscription “TAXI” and with the line of white cars. If your hotel is far from the center, then you can take the metro or tram, which will give you the feeling that you are in one of the oldest places in the Europe- you’ll feel yourself like in the old days. Tickets, which you’ll need in the subway and in buses and trams, you can buy directly from the newsagents.

The Center of Milan – Duomo Square has the main attractions: the Duomo (just a breath away from so many twisted steeples and towers), the monument to Vittorio Emmanuel (the central place of the square and gathering place for tourists) and the gallery of Emmanuel (bookstores, cafes and restaurants).

It’s interesting to know that the main tourists visiting the place are from Japan and United States. But the preferences of the groups are various- Japanese love to have stops at the small shops and to visit the suburbs of the city, while the Americans love to stick up with the central part of the city.

Milan, being the capital of fashion, turns into a job spot for the local and international fashion models. During the day time these provocative models are being dressed casually and most of the time do not differ from the rest of the public. For example: sneakers, socks like Pinocchio, mini skirt with frills, feathers and down and short fur jacket with striped lapels. The local Italian go splendidly dressed, with make-up and new-fangled haircuts. It is pleasant to watch.

Streets sidewalks are not as in Portugal, rustic stone, and asphalt and this is contributing a lot for those walking in high heels. But the thick of the Italians I just saw. Compared with Portugal, which is simply teeming with fat men, and all youth is overweight, every single Milanese seems to be elegant. Women wear trousers with low waist, tight to the knee, but from the knee down a little and expand on this part you can see everything: pens, feathers, beads, pieces of rags, casing, sometimes have the impression, as if these trousers were found in a garbage can and stuck to them.

I must say that walking through the city center during the day is very pleasant, but at night there is nothing to do. There are no discos like in Lisbon, surroundings are not much lighted. Prices in Milan are totally terrible. A bottle of beer in a bar Heyneken costs 7,50 Euro. But there is a long list of Japanese restaurants everywhere. The streets smell nice, not because it‘s not in New York, where all the streets smell of ketchup and potato-fries.
And what a beauty in the gardens! Many homes have a small square gardens where they usually grow maple or birch, and in the center of all of there is a small fountain, or at least, a statue or bust of granite or marble.

Yes, in Milan, in the restaurants of national cuisine there is nothing like potato fries! And steak is offered with two or three circles of zucchini or eggplants on the grill. Probably that’s why most of the Milanese are not fat! Bread restaurants substitute lavash- flat bread type, thin and baked, like crackers, which will not lead to gaining weight.
It is interesting that in the cafes the main dish of the day – salad with fresh vegetables and leaf lettuce, sandwiches with vegetables, stuck on the grill with a drop of olive oil. Well, what a healthy food!

I must say that the non-central zone of the city is in a very unattractive condition. There are graffiti on the streets everywhere. On Sunday, all shops, cafe and restaurants outside the city center are closed. It was very difficult on the last day to find a place where we could even have a  lunch in the town. And we take the advice of a taxi driver who offered us a restaurant with its traditional cuisine. And it was just great!

Advices for those who are wishing to travel to Milan:

1. The trip to Milan needs to be planned for early fall or early spring, when there is little dust or severe frosts, as well as to undergo widespread discounts.
2. Be sure to visit the Duomo Square and the surrounding attractions.
3. For breakfast, I advise to go to any cafe and refreshment sandwich with vegetables and tea. I agree, is unusual, but turns out to be rather refreshing even in the morning.
4. I would advise you to have lunch in the chain of cafes- Autogrill (open only at lunch time). In them you’ll be given a rich choice of ingredients, and took the tray, you type all you want: salads, pasta, rice, fish or meat that is prepared right in front of you in a few minutes, beer, wine, cakes and all that can make anyone a full meal.
5. Dinner in a restaurant “Peper Moon” near Piazza Duomo, make sure to taste appetizers displayed on the counter of Antipasti.
6. Visit the fashion show, for which you need to know in advance the dates of shows and book tickets through the internet or travel agency.

Great! Hopefully  though it will not turn into a graph on the paper and be overleft as some of the projects did.

The new draft of the hotel-flying airship design submitted by the London office Seymourpowell, becoming the most luxurious way to travel and this is awesome news. After the death of Zeppelin “Hindenburg” mankind for many years abandoned the cool idea of passenger traffic in leisurely, luxurious airship which is not comparable to the comfort of the cruise ships as it’s a lot more better. While the cruise is only organized to witness the beautiful sights only when having a physical visit to the place, the aircruise allows us to have a look at all of it from the glasses of your vehicle.

Here the passengers do not need to huddle in a narrow chair or uncomfortable seats, but can safely walk on the decks, looking at the bottom of the floating landscape. The emotions that might occur are simply indescribable and can not be provided in any other ways.

And then, finally, a new and fresh project – Aircruise, which brings back the era of luxury travel into its saddle, where you do not have to sacrifice comfort for speed as both of this features are being provided at once. The flying hotel has a vertical position, and in general the airship can not be called to have a classical presentation- simply said no similarities. Thus it is able to develop a cruising speed of 100-150 km / h. In such a situation journey from London to New York takes 37 hours, and from Los Angeles to Shanghai will be flown for 90. And this trip is not the usual torture with the unwanted airplane worries. But this is definitely designed for those who are planning to spend on the trip a bunch of free hours. Of course the compensation for the wasted hours seems to be more than paid off.

Aircruise, like any cruise ship, has a very spacious lounge, restaurant and bar and excellent viewing platform. All of the modern conveniences are present here- all of them are presented in a way so that we can call them truly modern ones. This means that you can feel free to enjoy the time in a way that you would do in a luxurious hotels spread all over the world.

The design of the inner part of the Aircruise is rather impressive. One needs to pay a lot of attention over how various themes are gathered together in a single space. The color schemes might be contrasting at the first glance but the reality is simply something rather harmonious and gorgeous.

Representatives of the company Seymourpowell reported that “the airship will be able to climb to a height of 3.6 thousand meters, and fly over the most interesting sights, allowing the visitors to have a significant opportunity to witness the sights from a rather high measure.” As Samsung is one of the organizers to initiate the project the technical parts seems to be even more promising and hopefully the company will be able to provide all of the technical support to make the project into a reality.

To do so the designers made a specific space. The floor of the hotel will be made by a special panoramic glass windows and tenants. Here the passengers will be able to enjoy the seas, oceans, forests and cities, which will float at the bottom. This makes the device to look even more attractive and appealing.

Overall the outer design and especially the form of the device seems to be interesting. The form of  the device reminds us of a twisted drop though the edges and the stripes are unique and allow to make it appear non-symmetric though the reality is exactly the opposite.

Maximum number of people that can be carried in the aircraft – 100 people, with 20 of them -  the staff. Which means that the first flight of  the aircraft will allow to carry about 80 passengers. Huh, I wonder does this apply to the passengers of all ages, who knows?

On board the designers supposed to place four standard rooms, five – smaller size, and one penthouse. And also a bar, a recreation area and an observation deck.

It should also be noted that the new product is completely environmentally friendly mode of transport. As an energy source it advocates hydrogen fuel cells, which also provide the hotel with clean water and solar panels. This means that a lot of attention is being paid to the recent improvements of the environment-safe means of transportation. Even though this is a new way of travelling we might believe that the solar energy usage in the new transportation mean is great way to replace the environment spoiler coming from the private airplanes.

The one thing that is still unclear is when will be the release of the first flight with this device. The thing is that the tragedy which occured not too long ago with the ancestor of  “Aircruise” still leaves a space to think over the fact where we are ready to trust our lives to the improved technologies or we would rather prefer to stay up with the classical aiplanes? Or the most important question that immediately comes to mind will be 90 hours to Hong Kong, huh, isn’t it too much to be spent on a simple trip?

There are some rumors and hopes that the release year of such a diamond will be in the close future- most likely believed by the designers of the new device it will be released in 2015. So let’s wait 5 more years and see if the technical giant will be implemented.

Well, I bet all of this vanishes aways right after you imagine how cute will be the to take part in this unforgettable adventure while enjoying all of the pleasure of the luxurious trip.

1. Mountain top extreme, New Zealand

A rather romantic wedding location can serve to be any top of the mountain in New Zealand. You can fly  here by a private helicopter. The only way to describe this awesome land is to mention its  panoramic views of lakes, rivers, mountains, and the variety of landscapes. As for the traditional part of the wedding- the country is full of various churches, where the actual process can take place. The country is also rather popular place to spend your honeymoon while enjoying all of the pros of the eco-tourism.

2.Touch of Classics, Italy

If the wedding opportunity of getting married in Verona seems to boring due to the fact that too many of the lovers prefer to have their wedding in the heart of Shakespeare’s land of Romeo and Juliet, then Florence will be a great option for you. It’s still Italy, it’s still charming, classical and beautiful. This city of outrageous beauty is rather popular among those who prefer to have a wedding in a Catholic Church and they slightly move to the  hotels with huge halls and get over  200 guests to their weddings.

3. Guest-entertainment ala France,France

France is just gorgeous place to make your romantic dreams come true. Paris is the “spot for lovers” with its prettiest panoramic view of the city. Well, all of this is quiet true when talking about the honeymoon, but France has something more extravagant to offer for a wedding day. You can feel yourself as a prince and princess by getting married in a real French château. As one of this can be Château d’Esclimont. It will take you only 45 minutes from Paris to get there. The place will turn into a tale for your guests with its possible features of fishing, hiking, horse-riding, and just relaxing.

4. Afro-Asian exotics, Mauritus

This cute island which is located in the Indian Ocean is not too far from the popular island of Madagascar. It’s rather unique with its culture- a great mixture of Asian and African traditions and customs. The place is also popular among the celebrities but also English royalty. It is the place where you can make your wedding  on the beach. Here you can get married barefoot on white sand beaches. As for a more luxurious extension of your paradise you can choose between spa or golf opportunities of the island hotels.

5.Bungalow nest, Indonesia

No one can doubt that the most popular place to visit in Indonesia is the island of Bali. It has an awesome wild nature with a variety of plants and animals. This exotic spot is popular among various tourists. As for you to avoid the overcrowded atmosphere and just to get relaxed in a glamorous way, you might try to get to one of the few “local” hotels. They are mostly located in villages and offer you a variety of bungalows. The oceanfront view will do its job. The beach here is not less charming than of Mauritus.

6.Castle joy, Scotland

The fact that both Madonna and Pierce Brosnan- two of most beloved stars of the Hollywood Olympus- got married here is a reason to celebrate the most amazing day of your life here. While having a rich history of a few centuries, it doesn’t fall behind France with its list of different castles. Some of them are the hotels now and the restof them- private homes. But the most important thing here is that Scotland has a rather bright culture and if you’ll add a little bit of Scottish interlude to your ceremony, you’ll have lots of unforgettable memories.

7.Open-sky wilderness, Kenya

If you can’t image yourself doing something very special for your wedding, then Kenya is also waiting for your crazy ideas to come true. The range of possibilities here is just of enormous amount. Just imagine your wedding in the bushes, in tented wilderness camps, riverbanks, in remote safari lodges and many more places. The main advantage of Kenya is the open-sky bungalow-type “buildings” where you can get a candlelight, champagne and a astronomical feast overhead.

8. Cave mystery,Wales

Can you imagine yourself getting married in a cave? Wales is a small land with its distinguishing culture and activities. Here you can choose a real cave to get married. These are not typical but rather a showcaves. The uniqueness of the surroundings is just completed with a lake and a double-waterfall effect. The natural setting is impressive and simply expresses all the amazes of the natural beauty. Despite of the wholly natural essence it still allows to have all the conveniences and comfort.

9. Safari exotics, South Africa

If Kenya seems too wild with its extreme rural spots, then the combination of wildlife and typical “European-like” towns will attract your attention. This Southern Hemisphere country is just unique with the cultural mixtures, but the main attraction of the place is the variety of wild animals. Here you can have a tribal type of wedding with different African instruments and locals, have a visit to  giraffes, zebras, rhinoceros, eland and other antelopes and rest while swimming and hiking to the natural waterfalls.

10. Park attractions of NYC, USA

Imagine yourself an escape from the uptown crowd and noise of New York City. The most tempting part of this possibility is the idea that you are in the middle of a huge megapolis and at the same time surrounded with a natural life. Some of the most attractive parts are the Conservatory Gardens, Bow Bridge, Shakespeare Garden. You will only need to get the idea of perfect wedding and invite as less people as possible, as you might have a list of  unexpected ones.

You better check our list of best Christmas celebration places to find the pleasant feeling of Christmas spirit.

1.Lapland, Finland

This small land needs to be called a really amazing place as it is believed that a real Santa Claus lives at the Arctic Circle in Lapland. You can come to visit him and get deeply into the job with his assistants to prepare traditional biscuits and even sit on his lap, if you have not done this in childhood. If you do not want to stand with the willing crowd in front of  the official residence Yolopukki, located in Rovaniemi, go to his deputy, to the town of Kuusamo. It is believed that local Santa speaks all the languages so you do not have to fear that Santa Claus had misunderstood what you put forth.

2.Granada, Spain

In Spain you can not just lie on the beach in the hot summer, but anyways a better place for a Christmas tale than city of Granada, it is difficult to think. Towering in the distance snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada, where there is a great ski resort, and the magical and majestic Alhambra Palace very close to creating the most appropriate atmosphere for the holiday. Here you can wander through the cozy, typically Spanish, streets, or get lost in the winding alleyways of the Muslim quarter Albasin. I always pause in the city until January 5, when the Spaniards celebrate El día de los Reyes, Three Kings Day. The festive atmosphere will be felt even during the breakfast, which in this day traditionally consists of strewn pieces of fruit pudding and a cup of thick hot chocolate. We can meet Santa Claus in this day is impossible, but you can admire the fantastic royal parade – a miniature carnival with a merry costumed procession and scattered the crowd of sweets and candies.

3.Oslo, Norway

Undoubtedly, Norway can claim the title of the most snow-white country in the world. I see this most easily by going to the Holmenkollen – located on a hill suburb of Oslo. This can be reached by subway or a trip to a reindeer sleigh. It is in Holmenkollen, among the red and yellow houses, the locals gather to drink mulled wine and crunch to traditional Christmas cookies.
