Prague is also Europe’s strip-capital and if your into lap dancing and strip clubs there are some very classy clubs that have a strict no-touch policy which is great for stag or hen parties which are a common occurrence in Prague all year round.

The currency in Prague is the Czech Crown (czk). The Czech Republic should be joining the Euro zone in 2010.

The Euro is accepted in some hotels and restaurants, along with certain international shops. However, we recommend holding Czech Crowns, as the majority of establishments will only accept the local currency.

All in all Prague is a fantastic destination and no matter if you are on a stag party, a romantic trip or on a leisure holiday, there is something for everyone on a weekend break in Prague. Prague is a city that remains beautiful and breathtaking not only during the summer, but throughout all the year long.

What To See And Do In Mexico

Posted by Mutual-Funds | Hotel Review | Friday 17 July 2009 2:55 pm

Mexico is a big and old country. Everyone can find something interesting in this land. Ancient pyramids and temples, big modern megapolises and tropical resorts ? it?s all here waiting for you to come. The trip to Mexico can be started with visit to its capital ? Mexico City. It?s the third-largest metropolis in the world. Only Tokyo and New York City are bigger. This expansive city of 20 million and over a mile high is built on the ruins of Tenochtitlan, the ancient Aztec capital. Reminders of past civilization pervade the city, particularly at the Templo Mayor excavation and Anthropological Museum at Chapultepec Park. This very Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325 by Aztecs. Speaking about modern Mexico City, the district called the Zona Rosa is famous for its shops.

One of the must-sees in Mexico are pyramids of Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. Teotihuacan is located 50 kilometers northeast of Mexico City. Teotihuacan is not only a monumental city, but also a place where the mural paintings allow the visitor to delve into a world of mythical figures of Gods, jaguars, nocturnal beings and liquid skies. The ruins of Chichen Itza lie about midway between Cancun and Merida, so that the journey from each city takes around 2 or 3 hours via the new autopista. This place was a settlement of Maya tribe. The tribe itself sank into oblivion, but its creature still attracts millions of tourists and hundreds of investigators seeking for their archeological glory. When you feel tired of ancient ruins and dust roads you can direct your steps to one of the Mexican resorts ? Cancun, Puerto-Vallarta or Acapulco.

So, meet Cancun. Very popular resort among US citizens situated on the Yucatan peninsula. The city of Cancun is only 35 years old. This fashionable resort was built on the place of the former fisherman?s village. Cancun is world famous for its beaches, surrounding the whole city.

Puerto Vallarta is nestled between palm-covered mountains, a river and an azure sea. The city is full of cobblestone streets and whitewashed houses. Like Cancun, once it was a fishing village.

One of the most exciting resorts in the world, Acapulco is famous for its explosive nightlife, golden beaches, unlimited watersports, world-class hotels, restaurants and the breathtaking beauty of Acapulco Bay. Acapulco is located on the Pacific coast of Mexico and unlike Puerto Vallarta and Cancun it?s a big city with 2-million population.

Mexico is enjoyable year-round, but October to May is generally the most pleasant time to visit. The May-September period can be hot and humid, particularly in the south, and inland temperatures can approach freezing during December-February.

Posted by Mutual-Funds | Hotel Review | Friday 17 July 2009 10:55 am

Cork is a city in the Republic of Ireland. The city is located in the province of Munster and it boasts a population of 274,000 inhabitants. The River Lee divides Cork and the city is regarded as one of Ireland?s major seaports. Originally built on several islands, the city today boasts a number of wide streets, which are built along former river channels. Cork was first established as a monastic settlement by St Finbar in the 6th century. The city repeatedly came under attack by Norsemen and Vikings and it was one of the central sites for fighting in the Irish War of Independence.

Today, Cork is a bustling, metropolitan city with plenty of attractions to suit all tastes. For those interested in the history of the city, Cork is home to some stunning architecture. Saint Finbarre?s Cathedral was originally built in the 7th century, and was rebuilt in a Gothic style by architect William Burges in the late 1800?s. The lovely tower of Shandon Church overlooks Cork. The tower is known locally as the Four-faced Liar, as from the ground beneath, the clock faces appear to read four different times.

Cork is known for its impressive cultural output, with a large number of artists, musicians and writers calling the city home. There are numerous galleries on both sides of the river, with exhibitions to suit all tastes. Cork also boasts a large number of live music venues and visitors can hear everything for traditional Irish music to more avant-garde sounds. The city is also a shopper?s dream, with many larger stores located close to Patrick Street. Visitors would be wise to follow some of the city?s winding streets to find smaller, unique shops.

Documentation is also important. You want to make sure that you have the paperwork and documentation ready. You do not want to forget your visa at home, when you reach the airport. It is also a good idea to find out about the medical coverage. You may consider purchasing trip insurance.

If you plan to drive, you should get your automobile ready. You should take it to the local mechanic. You should study the local road, laws, and other driving regulations.

You should plan your budget. It is important that you research the cost of local items. If you plan to visit the country that has high cost of living, you can easily run out of money.
