The French department of Savoie, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, abounds in intimate, hermetic villages, often giving the impression that time flows slower in them and the 21st century has not yet reached them. An enthusiast of glass, steel and metal architecture, who loves skyscrapers, shopping centers and loud clubs, and spending his holidays intensively, "ticking off" the main attractions of the area, is unlikely to be here. When, on the other hand, the climate of the French province will meet the supporter of the so-called slow tourism, will come back here more than one and not twice. This is especially true of the southern shores of Lake Geneva, with the majestic peaks of the Savoy Alps decorating the background.

The German part of the Baltic Sea has a lot to offer. Beautiful beaches and numerous islands surrounded by wild nature attract more and more vacationers from all over Europe every year. Among the multitude of attractions that nature offers is the largest German island, Rügen, the tourist pearl of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Rügen is so crowded that in order to spend your holiday there, you must remember to book places well in advance. The island is not only an area where we can fully devote ourselves to blissful relaxation on the beach - it is also an excellent base for trips to nearby health resorts. The healing properties of iodine-saturated air have long been appreciated by patients who came here to regain strength from both Germany and other countries. Rügen is separated from the mainland by the narrow Strelasund Strait. In 1936, the Rügendamm railway and road bridge was built, and since 2007, you can also get to Rügen via a three-lane viaduct intended exclusively for car traffic - a bridge called Rügenbrücke, 2,830 meters long, one of the longest in Central Europe.

The Tuscany region is one of the most visited places on Earth. The mild climate, beautiful landscapes and rich history attract millions of tourists from all over the world every year. Tuscany is the land of Chianti wine, vast beaches on the Ligurian Sea and historic Florence, the city of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Summer in Italy can be very troublesome. The heat and the ubiquitous stuffiness bother you so much that everyone - both the resident and the tourist - wants to cool down in the water. The beaches of the Ligurian Sea are crowded, but don't be afraid, there is enough space. However, if we want to rest in silence, among picturesque landscapes and singing birds, it is better to abandon the vision of splashing in the sea and go to the lake instead. In Tuscany, a great place for such a trip is Lago di Bilancino, the largest reservoir in the region, created by human hands.

Elba is known mainly for being the site of Napoleon's exile. However, it is worth visiting this third largest Italian island for a completely different reason. It is a unique, extremely green place where you can not only relax in comfortable conditions, but also admire beautiful landscapes. So we set off for the Tyrrhenian Sea. Even in the pictures, Elba makes a huge impression, let alone watched live. Not everyone knows that this island has a much older history than Rome. First it was ruled by the Etruscans and Carthaginians, then the Romans appeared there. In the following centuries, power on the island passed from one Italian principality to another. Even the French threw their pennies there, until it finally became a prison, it should be emphasized - heavenly, for Napoleon himself. Today it is an ideal place to rest and one of the favorite places visited by tourists. No wonder, Elba has a lot to offer.

The extremely attractive Italian region of Emilia-Romagna stretches from the Adriatic Sea to the borders of Liguria and Piedmont.

Some people do not associate sunbathing with Germany at all - rather with Spain, Italy, Croatia or Greece. Meanwhile, our western neighbors have beautiful and diverse beaches, not only on the Baltic Sea, but also on numerous lakes. In northern Germany, there is a unique land called Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, inviting holidaymakers to relax on almost 2,000 kilometers of beaches. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a German federal state located in the north-eastern part of Germany. It tempts people who love fish dishes (from simple sandwiches to exquisite dishes) that can be eaten in virtually every larger town. It tastes like Sanddorn-likör, a tincture of sea buckthorn called Russian pineapple. It attracts cyclists with well-organized and marked paths, including those on expressways. When planning a vacation in Germany , especially in this region, it is worth taking your own bicycle with you. But if we do not have it, we can easily rent it in larger seaside resorts.

Outside the window it is cold - frost, snow, possibly rain. In the morning we go to work by shoveling snow from the car, then we go to work in a traffic jam behind the plow. What do we dream about then? About holidays! All the more so, it is worth devoting even one February day (and preferably the entire weekend) to participation in the Tour Salon tourist fair. A beautiful warm place, a long sleep, coffee on the terrace overlooking the sea, mountains, forest or all at once, and instead of the radio - birds singing. Wondering what to see or which beach to choose. Later, a leisurely stroll among the old houses, maybe relaxing by the swimming pool, and a moment for yourself when the children are busy playing. You think about which restaurant to choose and at the moment, that's all on your mind. You enjoy your meal with a glass of wine while admiring nature, architecture or watching local life. Later, a continuation of exploration of the area or the beach. How about a taste of the nightlife? You don't have to get up to work in the morning anyway. At this point, you press the brake hard, because you drove dreamily too close to the car in front of you.

People who like variety will fall in love with Trentino Alto Adige. It is a region in the north-eastern part of Italy, bordering two other Italian regions and two countries: Austria and Switzerland. Its location translates into a huge number of tourist attractions and a varied cuisine, richly drawing on the influence of its neighbors. If Italy, especially Trento, then polenta. It is usually served baked (smacafam), with bacon or sausage. Cheeses are an important element of the local cuisine, produced in most alpine valleys and chapels. Those interested in new flavors should try the mild Pustertaler, the spicy Graukäse, and if they like goat's milk products, then also the Ziegenkäse. When someone plans a vacation in Italy in terms of culinary experiences, they will quickly find out that Trentino-South Tyrol is the perfect destination for gourmands. The region is famous for apples, which are a frequent ingredient of dishes. It is worth getting to know the taste of the local strudels and the so-called Apfelküchel, pancakes a bit like donuts and a little pancakes. Local soups are nutritious, thick and difficult to digest - with a base of pork, potatoes or tripe. Meat is eaten a lot, ranging from poultry, through beef and venison, to trout and rabbit. Alto Adige boasts Speck dell'Alto Adige , a pork belly on the bone, dried and smoked in small artisanal factories in the Venosta Valley. It is protected by the IGP mark, and in regional restaurants it is served as a snack or appetizer, with dark bread or rice bread. When talking about the kitchen, the wine must not be forgotten. Red wines predominate in the region, but the most famous are white wines, including Sylvaner, Müller Thurgau and Gewürztraminer. They are distinguished by an unusual aroma and lightness.
