			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have already visited Sorrento you cannot miss the opportunity to discover <strong>Massa Lubrense</strong><strong>, the most characteristic seaside town of our peninsula.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Marina della Lobra</strong>, if you have opted for one of the <a href="http://www.casantonella.it/en/"><strong>Massa Lubrense</strong><strong> apartments</strong></a>, is easily reached from the centre. The etymology of<strong> Lobra</strong> derives from &#8220;<em>delubrum</em>&#8221; temple, with reference to the ancient cathedral located on the beach. The quaint village in the heart of the <strong>Riserva Marina di Punta Campanella</strong>, halfway between Sorrento and Capri is characterized mainly by <strong>limestone cliffs</strong> and small stretches of beach.</p>
<p><strong>Marina della Lobra</strong> will offer rides to the sunny streets and the possibility of choosing among the many attractions recommended.</p>
<p><strong>Vervece, Punta Campanella Marine Park.</strong></p>
<p>If you love outdoor sports, you can opt for a canoe ride or a ride on a sailboat to reach <strong>Vercece</strong>, a small island in front of the port of Marina Lobra, where every August 15 there is a procession in honour of the statue of the Assunta.</p>
<p>You can also choose a guided dive at the edge of the <strong>Area Marina Protetta di Punta Campanella</strong>, which since 1997, protects the entire stretch of coast between Vico Equense and Positano. The waters are a paradise for lovers of diving and caving: between cliffs and sea beds, rich in caves and crevices, sea urchins, starfish, sea squirts, sponges, molluscs and fish.</p>
<p><strong>Cala di Mitigliano, baia di Jeranto.</strong></p>
<p>For a truly unforgettable experience wooden boats can be hired for a bath down the caves and ravines of the coast or a dive in the depths of the area of ​​<strong>great interest and natural beauty</strong>. In fact many bays, like <strong>Cala di Mitigliano</strong> and that of<strong> Ieranto</strong>, are protected by a marine reserve: they are beautiful coves squeezed between impressive limestone cliffs, in which there are only partially explored caves.</p>
<p><strong>Monte San Costanzo.</strong></p>
<p>It’s an ideal destination if you like trekking and hiking along the trails. <em>Monte San Costanzo</em>, 495m, with the characteristic conical shape, is the highest hill of the city and it is easily reached from <strong>Massa Lubrense</strong>. Many of the tours, designed as a circular route, enable you to cross the extreme part of the Sorrento Peninsula, an area historically important and still remained untamed.</p>
<p>So you can start from <strong>Piazza Santa Croce di Termini</strong> to take <em>via Campanella</em>; proceed by <em>via del Monte</em> with the pathway leading up to the saddle of <strong>Monte San Costanzo</strong>. From the top of the mountain you can see the landscape that includes the Gulf of Naples and Salerno, the islets of Li Galli and the area of ​​full protection of the island of Vetara. The saddle instead is crossed passing through the pine forest.</p>
<p><strong>Marina del Cantone in Nerano.</strong></p>
<p>Few steps and you&#8217;ll be on the beach of Marina del Cantone, it will be waiting for you in the terrace overlooking the sea of Nerano and the local restaurants.</p>
<p>If you are considering an <a href="http://www.coltursuites.com/en/apartments/"><strong>Sorrento apartment</strong></a>, you can easily reach <strong>Massa Lubrense</strong> by bus to enjoy the pleasures of the local gastronomic tradition that has genuine local products, citrus fruits, liqueurs such as limoncello, walnut and strawberries. Traditional dishes of the peninsula are the <em>scalatielli seafood</em>, excellent fresh fish and delicious traditional sweets such like <em>limoncello baba</em> and <em>lemon delight</em>.</p>
<p>Let yourself go to the delights of the palate and enjoy a relaxing stay and the sea by choosing the most typical fishing village of our peninsula.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">The capital of Portugal is a very exciting tourist destination, which has gained even more popularity in the last few years. It experienced a kind of renaissance of culture and thus provoked the interest of the holiday makers. Beautifully situated on the very edge of the Atlantic Ocean, the city of Lisbon is built in seven hills, just like the cities of Efrat and Istanbul, Rome, Plovdiv and Moscow, San Francisco and Seattle. Lisbon is also famous with its white limestone buildings, old-time charm and romantic alleys. It should be mentioned that Lisbon is an all year destination. When you decide to visit Lisbon, among the first things to arrange is the accommodation. Of course, you should go through the Lisbon neighborhoods to find the one that is best to stay at. Your <a href="http://www.apartmentsapart.com/Europe/Portugal/Lisbon">Lisbon apartment</a> could be in several good neighborhoods of the city.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/2b/0b/85/a-quiet-area-of-cascais.jpg" alt="Lisbon Pictures" width="440" height="330" /><br />

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/02/48/06/50/fountain-in-bairro-alto.jpg" alt="Photos of Bairro Alto, Lisbon" width="440" height="330" /><br />
This photo of Bairro Alto<br />
Many people say that that area near Rossio in the neighborhood of Baixa is a great place for accommodation. It is a close, walking distance away from the airport bus station and the railway station, as well as many stations of trams and several metro lines. This area is often preferred by the tourists as it is flat and is not difficult to carry your bags. Other travelers like the area of Chiado, which is a quiet neighborhood that is secure and clean and the locals are quite friendly. Even so, in Chiado area one can find many nice shops and restaurants. The neighborhood Bairro Alto is quite busy, but in the zone where it borders Chiado neighborhood, where are to be found many romantic restaurants and trendy bars, which are placed within short distance. Of course the area Bairro Alto features many pubs and bars, so staying in the zone mentioned above is great if you plan to make most of the nightlife in Lisbon. Among the most upscale neighborhoods in the capital of Portugal is Lapa district, where are to be found many of the foreign embassies and also the posh Rotz Hotel.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The neighborhood Gracia is placed uphill and is far from the center of Lisbon. The same is valid for the neighborhoods the Castle and Alfama. The Alfama neighborhood is very nice, but the climbing will be too much, especially if you want to go to your Lisbon apartment for lunch or for a nap or a shower. Another good area to consider is the Saldanha area, a near Campo d&#8217;Ourique, the Corte Ingles, Lapa, and some of the neighborhoods near Rato between Marques de Pombal and the Baixa. Avda de Liberdade is another good district with excellent restaurants and cafes, as well as hotels. Wherever the traveler decides to stay, one will definitely have to do some climbing, since the main sites such as the Monastery and the Castle, as well as the Belem Tower are placed in different parts of Lisbon. Of course, one should not worry about that since there are cable cars that offer transport during the day and many taxis that one can use during the night.<br />

</p>
<p>If you choose to go to Spain for your next vacation you can find accommodation close to the city center in <a href="http://www.apartmentsapart.com/barcelona_hotels/index.htm">apartments Barcelona</a> and <a href="http://www.apartmentsapart.com/madrid_hotels/index.htm">apartments Madrid</a>.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Visiting the city of London brings fantastic emotions, but moving there to study could be quite scary, especially if you are still in your twenties and you have not been to such a big city as London before. There are certain accommodation and travel tips that are given to students who are moving to London, which helps them understand the city and the cycle of life there. These tips will also apply to those foreign students that want to see the lovely city of London during their summer holidays.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/76/93/c3/tower-bridge.jpg" alt="London Pictures" width="440" height="293" /><br />

<p style="text-align: center;">Students that are planning to go to the capital of the United Kingdom should carefully check whether they need a passport or a tourist visa to enter the country. The next important thing to arrange is the accommodation during the period of their stay. The hotel rooms will definitely be beyond the students’ income, thus they usually head for the hostels, where they find many new friends. When they travel in group however, they have yet another option that they have to consider and this is to book one of the <a href="http://www.apartmentsapart.com/london_hotels/index.htm">London apartments</a>, which could welcome up to twelve people and sometimes several of these serviced apartments are placed in one block and this allows you to stay close to your friends, if you travel in a bigger group. These apartments turn out to be quite cheap, when the price is split among all the people who will use the apartment. Not to mention that they are far more spacious and comfortable than the hostels.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/38/bd/d3/londres.jpg" alt="London Pictures" width="302" height="405" /><br />

</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Now, the airplane tickets could be expensive, but you can always use the low-cost carriers and the special student airfares that some airplane companies offer. Having arranged all that, the student should think of what to pack for their trip to London. These include comfortable walking shoes, a small umbrella, a rain jacket and an electrical converter, as some wall plus in London will not accept certain electrical devices. The city of London is a walking friendly place, but still you will need to use the public transport to reach certain attractions or when tired. The easiest way to do so is to use the London underground system. Even though being the oldest underground in the world, this is clean and safe transport system, and quite efficient as well.<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/0f/39/01/vista-de-la-plaza-paternoster.jpg" alt="London Images" width="440" height="330" /><br />

</p>
<p>Having said all that, the next question is what to do while in the city of London and the options are endless. You can go on a tour covering the London Tower or you can try one of the Free walking tours in London. The main sites to visit while there are the Buckingham Palace, the Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, the Nelson’s Column, the Palace of Westminster and the Big Ben, the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge, as well as the Cathedral St. Paul, the London Eye, the lovely parks St. James’ and Hyde Park, as well as the Kensington Gardens.<br />

&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another student travel destinations are Amsterdam and Paris where you can find cheap accommodation in <a href="http://www.apartmentsapart.com/Europe/Netherlands/Amsterdam">apartment Amsterdam</a> and <a href="http://www.apartmentsapart.com/paris_hotels/index.htm">apartments Paris</a>.</p>
