Cabo da Roca: TripTemptation Visited The Edge Of The World

Less than an hour from Lisbon there is a famous place: Cabo da Roca.... or the most westerly point in Europe. People who lived here (right up to the 14th century) believed it was the edge of the world. We could not miss it, and it turned out to be absolutely worth visiting.

This enchanted place is very quiet and peaceful. Especially in winter. One can find here nothing.... just the light house, a small coffee shop and a gift shop. And of course unique nature.... the real paradise for photographers.

Usually tourists spend 20-30 minutes here. We have done all the trails and discovered the hidden corners of the most mysterious place in Europe. And for certain we recommend visiting it.

  • So, here we go. I guess I've been dreaming about the trip around the world since I've first read "Around the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne. On one hand, there's nothing special about it. You just book some tickets to different connections and basically, that's it.

  • Mauritius is a small island in the Indian Ocean, to the east of Madagascar, near South Africa. Discovered in early 1500 by Portuguese explorers, later ruled by the French, and finally by the British, it became independent in 1968.

  • I’d never heard about Benidorm until I actually went there; and now I am absolutely in love with it. Being the main tourist destination along Costa Blanca, it is completely different from other popular resort towns along the Mediterranean Sea coast of Spain. It has it all: traces of traditional Spain, combined with bar-lined promenades along beautiful and clean beaches, and a lively nightlife.

  • This family-oriented resort, with its Kids' Explorer Club and Core Zone Teen Club, and huge free-form pool that stretches from the lobby to the beach, is the ideal place for beach holidays in Bávaro in the Dominican Republic. We would recommend it to people who want to have fun and are not seeking complete privacy and relaxation.

  • The new tourist attraction and perfect wedding venue is located in Brighton, a resort city on the south coast of England, and is named after a leading airline – British Airways i360. It opened last summer and, since then, has already welcomed more than a million passengers and holds the Guinness World Record for being the most slender tower in the world.

  • When I first came here with my friend, we were speechless... We were nearly in tears as it was beyond our imagination...

I still remember my first trip. It was to London. I fell in love with this city the moment I saw it. Just - "click", and my heartbeat quickened. I was chosen by it. Red and funny double-decker buses, serious black cabs, the gorgeous Buckingham palace... That's it! I am your admirer forever! From that moment I have visited many places and have been to many countries. Traveling became my passion. My long lasting love, which I hope will never end.
