Saturday, October 1st, 2011
Scotland is one of those places which come as a complete tourist package with basically everything, starting from natural scenic beauty encompassing the thousands of historic sites to innumerous old castles, houses, battlegrounds, ruins and museums. The vibrant culture of Scotland itself is a big call to explore the riches of the nation.
Apart from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, most of Scotland could be seen as a stretch of countryside. Even the city of Edinburgh is inhabited with a lot of castles and their folklores. Glasgow similarly has a gothic spell woven over it in the form of avid Victorian architecture. But the most historic town of the place is Stirling, situated in central Scotland and possessing some of the most beautiful old and ruined castles. If castles are the concern then Scotland has ample to provide. Every small or big town flourishes with castles and with enchanting history of it. No doubt the combined effect of nature and men together has resulted in Scotland being the land of rich culture and heritage.
Scandinavia is totally world apart from the rest of Europe. Scandinavia which is also called Nordics generally consists of Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway and has a history which is very dissimilar to that of the rest of Europe and this perhaps makes the place more interesting.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula emerged from an ecstatically beautiful place Transylvania which literally means ‘The land beyond the mountains’, beheld by Romania, an equally mesmerizing land of fairytales and mysteries. To revisit the myths and enliven the moments from the novel, it is thus necessary to follow his footsteps and quickly visit Cluj and Pasul Tihara, where the famous castle of the Dracula still stands.
Thinking of Norway, the first thing which comes to our mind is the beautiful fjord indented coastlines, the big mountains, the milk white snow in winter and the unspoiled small towns and country life. Norway, with its historical as well as literary connections, is a tourist attraction not only for its varied landscapes, but also for its sporting sites.
California is one of the largest states of United States of America. It is a place that has a number of spiritual and cultural places. Redwood National Park is a place that will keep you in its influence for a long period of time. It is situated along the coast and gives you a beautiful view of red trees as old as I can be.
If you love to travel and visit different cultures, rich history, and exclusive wild life then Australia is the place for you. It has everything a tourist would look for.

Singapore is one of the most beautiful destinations of not only Asia but the whole world. However, the specialty of Singapore is its night beauty. It is the most stunning city to see at night. The lighting all over the city is impossible to ignore. Everyplace you visit at night, you will feel the party is going on and you will just want to be a part of it.
Travelling to South Africa will give you a whole new experience in your life. You can enjoy mind blowing and stunning sights of coastal towns like Durban, Cape Town, Hermanus or etc. However, if you want to pick the best places to visit in South Africa there are few places in the list.
“Sun rises from the east” is exactly as true statement as Europe is a beautiful place to visit. If you are an admirer of old civilization, cultural heritage or modernization and state of the art buildings, then a vacation trip to Europe is for you. The difference between a visit to any other continent and Europe is the versatility of experience that you will observe. In Europe, you can experience the most romantic cities like Paris or Venice to the modern state of the art city of London.
