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.

Holidays on a German beach

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.

Beautiful like Venice, smart like Bologna - what city and where do they say so? Such sayings circulate in the Veneto region (Veneto), and refer to Padua, picturesquely situated on the Bacchiglione River, in the Po plain, in north-eastern Italy. Thanks to its location, Padua is a great starting point for exploring the attractions of the region. Famous Venice, the city of gondolas, is 40 km away, so you can easily go on a day trip to the capital of Veneto . But Padua itself is unlikely to bore anyone. It is an old center (founded in the 4th century BC), during its long history it has experienced severe damage several times, being an independent republic, attacks by the French and Austrians, and finally joining the Kingdom of Italy. Many traces of a turbulent past remain in it. The patron saint of the city is St. Justyna, the most eminent virgin of Padua. A chapel was built on her grave, and then a church. In the 16th century, as a result of an earthquake, the temple was completely destroyed. In the following years, the monumental building Basilica di Santa Giustina , which is today a symbol of Padua, was erected on the ruins.
