There are many excellent spas in Europe that offer treatment for all types of diseases. But not all of them can boast of the beauty of the architecture of buildings, as Karlovy Vary can. The resort is located in the valley of the Teplá River in West Bohemia, on elevations ranging from 370 to 644 m above sea level. Some fantasy lovers may associate it with the Tolkien city of the elves - Rivendell. The terrace buildings of the spa come from the 19th century, the earlier one was burnt down (twice, in 1604 and in 1759). Tourists are especially delighted with the buildings of the post office, the theater and some of the sanatoriums - they have been restored, preserving the ornamentation and asymmetry of the Art Nouveau style. Two local promenades (Stara and Nová Louka) are also beautiful.

Campers of the German brand Sunlight are advertised in Poland with the slogan "Perfection and quality at the lowest price". The lowest price in this case is approx. 40 thousand. euro gross. All Sunlight campers are based on the Fiat Ducato design. The width of each vehicle is 233 cm, but they differ in length and height. The length may vary from 623 to 728 cm. The height depends on the chassis variant. The T models are 291 mm tall and the A series models are 310 mm high. In total, there are as many as 11 variants of the Sunglight models to choose from. Interestingly, the cheapest version of the A58 is not the one that can accommodate the fewest people. This model can travel 4 people, while different versions of the Sunlight models allow for accommodation from 3 to even 6 people. However, it is worth mentioning that if more than 4 people are to travel in a motorhome, you need to buy a safety package with additional seat belts and headrests.

Sunlight - decent, but not crazy

Antwerp, on the Scheldt River, is Europe's second largest seaport after Rotterdam. But that's not the only reason why the Maritime Museum (Nationaal Scheepvaartmuseum) was created here, where today we can see models of ships from different historical periods. The museum is located by the river, in the 12th-century Steen Fortress. Antwerp is an important research center (there are two universities here) and also the birthplace of Rubens. The city devotes a lot of attention to nurturing the master's memory. His works can be admired in the huge Royal Museum of Fine Arts (Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunstem). In addition to the works of Rubens himself, there are also paintings by Hals, van Dyck, Breughel and other artists.

Antwerp - Belgium&#39;s jewel

While in Utrecht, you should definitely climb the Domtoren, the highest church bell tower in the Netherlands (112 meters). When the visibility is good, apart from the whole city - one of the largest centers in the country, with a unique history and atmosphere - you can also see Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Utrecht owes its largely specific, artistic and intellectual climate to the oldest university in the city, the university founded in 1623. Masses of students pass through the streets and you can hear intellectual conversations in different languages.

Elddis is a British brand that creates premium caravans. Although almost completely unknown in our country, it is worth attention. Elddis has offices in Great Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands. In Poland, they are not yet available, although it may be a pity. The company offers trailers with a standard that goes beyond what we know even from high-class German trailers. The cheapest, "budget" Xplore model is worth attention, as it is advertised as attractive in terms of price, and at the same time without compromises. Well, "cheapness" is a relative thing, and in this case it means 11,000. pounds for the smallest and least equipped trailer.

British who hates compromises

There are people who love the touch of history embedded in the facades. There are also those who prefer to raise their heads high, admiring the soaring of modern constructions. The glass and metal skyscrapers delight them more than medieval cathedrals. Such people will surely be interested in the most important financial center of Germany, i.e. the banking district of Frankfurt am Main. The modern development of the area resembles the view of New York's Manhattan district - hence the colloquial name.

Contrary to the name, Antares Luxe caravan is the simplest, not the most luxurious model from the collection of the French company Caravelair. Prices start at 9,590 euros.

This model seems to have a favorable price / quality ratio. There are maybe no gadgets or other solutions that would cause delight, but there are also no reasons to complain. Both from the outside and the inside, the caravan seems to be decently made. Good materials, modest but pleasing design, functionality - these features can win over the fans of this model.

In the heart of Tuscany, at the foot of the Apennines, on the Arno River, lies the cultural and commercial center of the region - Florence. Millions of tourists visit it every year, which is not surprising given the extraordinary beauty of this city. The Church of Santa Croce, Palazzo Strozzi or the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore are just some of the monuments that attract visitors' attention and delight. Apart from them, tourists are also tempted by one of the greatest painting galleries - Galeria degli Uffizi. It contains the largest collection of Italian art in the world, including works by Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. You can see "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli, Rembrandt, van Dyck, there are also works by Rubens, as well as many portraits of Polish kings.

When going on a camping trip, especially if it is your first trip, you should double-check that everything you need is in your camper or caravan. This time, we will not analyze basic equipment related to plumbing or heating and cooling. You must have noticed these elements much earlier. What you can forget are the trifles. However, it may turn out that the lack of what seems to be only a useful gadget will become a bothersome problem at the campsite. First of all, you should not forget about the elements that should always accompany you on a long journey. These include a tow bar, first aid kit, warning triangle, tool kit, flashlight and snow chains when hiking in winter conditions. A pump for inflating the wheels will also be useful.

Those who missed this year's opening of the new season in one of the most famous Bulgarian ski resorts, regret it! On December 15, 2012, Bansko was visited by such famous sportsmen as Hermann Maier, Olympic medalist, three-time world champion, four-time World Cup winner, Marc Ghirardelli, five-time World Cup winner, as well as Peter Popangelov junior, Bulgarian alpine skiing star. But let's start from the beginning. First of all, the fact that probably some are surprised by the very fact that there are modern ski resorts in Bulgaria. Meanwhile, not only do they exist - they are one of the most visited ski resorts in Eastern Europe. Among them, Bansko, a small town situated at the foot of the Pirin Mountains, in the southwestern part of the country, is in the lead. It is located about 160 km from Sofia and 6 km from Razlog. In Bulgaria itself, it has been known for a long time, and in less than a decade it has gained considerable popularity also outside the country.

If you are planning to buy a new motorhome, you may find it difficult to find a model based on a platform other than a Fiat Ducato. In this respect, Rimor Nemho, based on the Ford Transit, may be an interesting variety. The motorhome of the Italian company Rimor can be considered a mid-range offer. The Ford Transit with a camping superstructure is certainly not one of the largest motorhomes, but it is also not a midget. Nemho is available in three variants with a length from 7255 mm to 7365 mm. The width of the vehicle is 2,340 mm.

If, after reading the title, someone has thought of a trip to China, they may be surprised. Burek is a tasty pastry stuffed with meat, cheese or potatoes that we can eat in Serbia and several other countries, mainly Mediterranean. And it will be a story about Serbia, and more specifically about its capital and, at the same time, one of the oldest cities in Europe, Belgrade. The aforementioned Belgrade lies at the mouth of the Sava and the Danube. He is teeming with life, as if he no longer remembers the terrible times from a dozen or so years ago, when bombs fell on him. After all, Serbia has enjoyed the status of a republic only since 2006, earlier conflicts broke out in it, the capital was moved, and Belgrade itself was occupied by the troops of various countries. Today it pleases the eyes of tourists with the beauty of its monuments, and caresses the ears with beautiful Balkan music played every evening by Serbian ensembles. However, it is impossible not to notice the buildings that have not been renovated yet - some of them serve as a painful reminder of the NATO attacks of 1999.
