Each
triangle 
shows a slideshow and is
a link to the website of an unique travel destination, a town or
city, a national park, an ancient place, a great tourist attraction
(museum, gastronomy,
entertainment etc.) or just a
place of outstanding natural
beauty.
And each
star 
shows a slideshow and is a
link to the website of a top hotel of a high classification, 4 or
5 stars and higher (as described on Wikipedia),
or
a hotel of a lower classification (not less than 3 stars), that is also
top but doesn't have top prices, with a fine reputation and good hotel
reviews in an exiting city or embedded in a beautiful landscape
.
Just move your mouse or cursor over the star or triangle (no clicking) to see some impressions of the hotel or the travel destination in a small window (tooltip)!
If you have become more interested you can click on the star or triangle or on the name of the hotel or destination in the window to go to its website.
Note: The size of the star has NOTHING to do with the quality of the hotel!

If you think Christmas would be quite nice without the cold weather then you should consider a long flight to Sydney in Australia. The biggest city in Down Under is not only for Australians the prettiest city of the world.

Nonetheless you can see it is Christmas everywhere in the city. There are Christmas trees everywhere and many Santas who sweat in their costumes. But do tourists really get that special Christmas feeling when they spend their time in Sydney? You have to decide that yourself.

Australia is big but nonetheless there are hotspots where you can find most tourists. But if you look for the pristine areas where you would find people like Crocodile Dundee or the real one, Malcolm Douglas, then e.g. you should go further northward along the east coast where you won't find tourists anymore except yourself and your companions, well, not quite. The people you will find there are mainly the ones who have lived on this continent for thousands of years, the Aborigines. A trip you won't forget anytime soon, promised.

People always choose the usual tourist destination, the Mediterranean Sea, the U.S., Canada, Australia etc. But what about a country that has not been on the tourists' radar like e.g. Mozambique in southern Africa, a country that has seen many cruel wars not so long ago. Just because this country produced many negative headline doesn't mean it is not worth a travel. On the contrary it is just like tourist hotspots South Africa or Kenya but cheaper and not overcrowded. There you have it all, a great wildlife for a safari, white and lonely beaches and much more beauty. This trip is worth a try.

Israel's largest city Tel Aviv is so much different from the capital Jerusalem. While Jerusalem is a "spiritual" and very old city Tel Aviv was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. It is a very young city and so is its population. And thus it is no surprise that it is also called the greatest party city in the Middle East. The young people dance all the time, either in a club or at the beach. But there is more than just party. The architecture mirrors also all styles of the 20th century. It is like an outdoor museum for architecture. For young tourists this city seems to be a paradise but actually it offers everything for visitors of all ages.
