Oh, look, another palace. It's like coming across a Starbucks in New
York, with better
architecture. Daun-Kinsky is one of the numerous palaces that have been renovated for
21st Century use by the public (some even housing Starbucks). Stop in here for a really
nice tapas bar with...

I'm not sure which view of Stephansdom is more striking; the interior
of Vienna's most
famous cathedral, or its exterior with towering spires and intricately tiled roof. For
me, this was an exciting church to be in as it was the site for Mozart's wedding and
funeral. There have...

A coffeehouse has existed on this site since 1794—three years after
its current
namesake's death—and is now known as Café Mozart. It is probably best known for being
the favorite café of novelist Graham Greene, as well as the coffee shop from The Third
Man. What I love about Café...

What is Vienna without a little Mozart—and vice versa? Mozart lived in
this apartment
on Domgasse/Schulerstrasse between 1784 and 1787 (four years before his death), during
which time he wrote The Marriage of Figaro (hence the name). I'm a sucker for preserved
homes such as this,...

You wouldn't expect, from 70 Euro and up, a luxurious experience with
Tourotel Mariahilf.
However, in a slightly off-centre location (though comfortably close to the U Bahn and
the Schonbrunn Castle), this four-star Euro chain hotel shines like a diamond in the
rough. The rooms...

I usually end up walking around the Ile de la Cite nightly (or
semi-nightly) whenever I'm
in Paris. And it's no surprise: this is the heart of the city, holding both Notre Dame
and Ste-Chapelle, not to mention some other placeholders of French history. It's a

While hard to find initially, the short distance between Hotel
Vivienne (40 Rue Vivienne)
and the Opera Garnier makes it an ideal location for lodging in Paris. While I highly
recommend taking the metro (at least once), staying a ten minute walk away from Paris'
main hub points...

A cultural institution, Maxim's is a brand you will most likely find a
hundred times over
in Paris (and the surrounding world) before seeing its original flagship restaurant on
the Rue Royale near Place de la Concorde. A hot spot for high rollers (it's no surprise

I stumbled into Indiana Café by happy accident the first time I went
to Paris, when most
of the surrounding restaurants were either too full or too expensive. I was sold on the
happy hour, albeit I was prepared for weak cocktails and poor Tex-Mex. Fortunately, while
not perfect,...

Comfort Inns are reliably good, clean, and cheap crash-pads across the
globe and Paris
was no exception. The Comfort Inn Montmartre, though in a bit of a dodgy area, is a
straight shot down Boulevard Sebastien to the Seine and Ile de la Cite. The rooms are
safe and the staff is...

It's my opinion that the Hotel Richard gets a bad rap among the
Hostels.com and
Hostelworld.coms of the world (wide web). True, the hotel (in actuality, hostel) is
pretty run-down, however it's not without its charms. It is very 11eme Arrondissement,
with no elevator, chipping...

One of the UK's greatest museum treasures, the V&A has a heavy amount of design from the
Tudor/Elizabethan Age all the way through to art of the 21st Century. And if you've had
your fill of paint on canvas and etchings in silver, then you have from now through the
middle of November...

The way ROH's £10 Student Standby works, you a) have to be a student, and b) have to sign
up with them on their website (and enjoy the techno remix of Puccini's "Nessun Dorma"
while you're at it!). It's free, and they'll contact you with at least 24 hours advanced
notice if they have...

Allow me to make the Tate Modern easier for neophytes to art,
galleries, museums, and
other institutions that involve a lot of walking, staring, and coming up with something
intelligent to say about paint smeared on canvas: The lobby is the best part of the
Tate. And it's free....

Chicago-born Sam Wanamaker came to London in 1949 and was shocked to find that no memorial
sat in the place of Shakespeare's original Globe Theatre. As tomorrow and tomorrow and
tomorrow creeped on, he decided to do something about it and, in 1970, founded the
Shakespeare Globe...

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre has a lot of good points and is certainly
a must for any
tourist. However, my favorite part about the Globe is in the winter months when the
Christmas Festival moves into the theatre. When last I was there, I saw some beautiful

Located a stone's throw away from the King's Cross station, Ashlee
House is the perfect
hostel combination of safety, convenience, style, and affordability (a rarity in
London!). Running the gamut from private rooms (£35-£37 per night) to sixteen-bed dorms
(£9-£18 per night),...

London's arts and culture scene means business; just look to the
Barbican for proof. It's
the largest multi-arts center in Europe and is open year-round for business, meaning
you'll be able to find an excuse to pop in during your trip, no matter when you're
visiting the United...

It was dumb luck that landed me in Greenwich at the Saint
Christopher's Inn over the
Christmas holidays, however if you're hostelling in London this is one of the best places
to do it. Greenwich is one of my favourite neighborhoods in the city, one that is
