Munich on a budget

January 24, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Many budget travellers find Munich a tricky place to visit, as the average prices are higher here than elsewhere in Germany. So how does one tackle this great city without breaking the bank?

Hotels and Camping
The idea of pitching a tent in a major European city might sound mad, but in Munich it's a very real possibility. The Tent on the outskirts offers a cheap alternative to hostels and hotels, and gives visitors the choice of pitching their own tent, or bunking down in one of the communal...

Hotel comparison that no hotel can hide from

January 24, 2025 • 12:00 AM

We've always shown a keen interest in Travel technology, so when we came across Triporia, a London startup that focuses on cutting to the details that matter when finding a hotel, we really loved (and chuckled) at their unique Street View feature, particularly when comparing the results to some of Munich's best hotels (or 'best photographed' hotels should we say!). The problem with most hotels' advertising and marketing material, is that you only get to see the photos they want you to see....

Out of the blues and into the blue - timeout in Apulia

January 24, 2025 • 12:00 AM

"Cornetti" filled with vanilla cream and cappuccino with lots of foamed milk for breakfast. The morning sun gently highlighting the colourful wooden boats in the port. Fishermen selling their morning catch, seagulls peacefully gliding through the sky. The setting: a café under arcades next to the Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Pilgrim... good morning from Apulia on a clear April morning!  Searching for a way to escape the never ending winter of 2012 /2013, we found this paradise in the boot...

California dreaming

January 24, 2025 • 12:00 AM

As oktoberfest season is upon us, we are left with the daunting prospect of a rather wet and chilly run-up to the even colder winter season - low temperatures and rain, much like our summer but with even less fun and more snow. At times like these, Munich folks look to warmer climes to escape the dreary weather we are experiencing here. For this year, TME wants to recommend a charming escape to the California wine and redwood country, Monte Rio! Situated on the Russian River, Monte Rio Cottages...

Viajar protegidos

Es conocido el alto coste de la atención de salud en países como Estados Unidos de América, o los países de Asia. Un seguro de salud confiable y con buenas prestaciones puede...

Travelling to Cuba, history and beaches

January 24, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Let's start our trip in La Havana, the capital city of Cuba, a city in which time has stood still since the sixties. Wherever you go you can see grafitti like "Cuba Libre", which alludes to the revolution. One of the main atractions is La Havana Vieja, declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO; the old side of the city, full of both cubans and tourists, can be toured in one morning or a whole day if you have time.       The principal places to visit are The Cathedral Square, the Arms Square,...

Cuba, playas con historia

January 24, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Es difícil saber si estamos en el año 1960 o en el 2014, los emblemáticos autos antiguos de colores, rojo, azul, rosa, en perfecto estado, circulan por las calles de La
Habana como si estuviéramos en una película de los años cincuenta, pero no lo es, así es la vida en Cuba.   Cuba es un destino turístico para todos los gustos, un país lleno de historia, ciudades coloniales, playas paradisíacas donde se puede descansar simplemente acostado en la playa tomando un clásico mojito o...

El Síndrome del Turista

January 24, 2025 • 12:00 AM

Una enfermedad silenciosa que todos padecimos alguna vez Hace ya un par de años que tomé la decisión de no vacacionar más en el mismo lugar de siempre y cada verano salgo a las rutas argentinas a conocer los impresionantes paisajes que nos ofrece nuestro país. En mi aventura de cabotaje ya he visitado ciudades como Calafate, Salta, Mendoza y Misiones, para nombrar coordenadas de los 4 puntos cardinales. La cuestión es que en estos viajes, además de conocer, tuve la posibilidad de estudiar...
