Travelling to Venice is something that everyone must do at least once in a life. The city is worthy to be seen and if you have several days off, a bit desire to see something interesting, and money for airfare and booking a room in one of the hotels in Venice, you are ready to travel to Venice as well. Actually Venice doesn't have ugly dormitory areas and if you are a person that considers any piece of Venice mysterious place as beautiful, then you won't have any regrets to have a vacation there and enjoy the atmosphere of the 18th century.

Venice is famous with its small churches, souvenir shops that cover almost every corner and the ancient style of the buildings and houses, but for sure the most interesting thing about Venice is the great number of gondolas that are used for public transport and tourists tours around the city.

One of the interesting things in Venice is Doge's Palace, called Palazzo Ducale in Italian. This place is famous with the grand Sala del Maggior Consiglio is put- the biggest room in the world with no bearing under the ceiling. And that is the most mysterious and in the same time interesting thing.
Here we should mention and the Bridge of Sighs, that actually connects Doge's Palace with the nearby prison. For those that are sent to the prison, is the only chance to look at the world for the last time when they were crossing this bridge.

You can image that this 'properties' has no boundaries for the people eyes. The biggest river there Colorado Spring is passing through the whole Canyon, creating beautiful shores and landscapes. Of course, as every nature phenomenon the Grand Canyon is hiding its advantages and disadvantages also. During the hotter season the temperatures can became extremely dangerous. I am talking about 100 degree mark during the summer. Winter season can also surprise its tourists with the wet weather which can cause difficulties through the Canyon. I can consider this to be like an disadvantage but, from the 'Phoenix Resorts or near areas it is about 4 hour home drive, which is nothing for such an 'event'. Concerning the advantages I will some ideas of how to spend a good time there. First of all, every 'Arizona Resorts' is including this in their tour guest list, so it is simply impossible to miss it.

Rome can satisfy any taste because it carries with itself many charming aspects, such as romance, fantasy, antiquity and these attract people, coming from any place in the world. But we should not forget that Rome is also a very big city and this more or less makes it a bit dangerous if it is about tourist's safety. So the following tips will be useful for those who want to take a trip to Rome anyway:
First of all Rome is a big city and it hides many dangers, so if you are a tourist you better don't show it. So any kind of cameras, laptops and such types of gadgets must be hidden in secure bags, so that the others won't be able to see them. All of these are like lures to thieves, so you better don't challenge them by showing your stuff.
There are not safe places like the main railway station, Esquilino and the bus line 64. There are many pickpockets there so one of the ways that you can protect you belongings or at least your money is to wear a money belt. If even though something like that happen to you, you betetr give the money and don't fight with them or you just start shouting for help, but for your sake don't fight them cause most of these people carry guns.
What else you can do for your safety is to stay away from dark places or streets. Someone can comes out of the club or bar and ask you for a cigarette or just to chit-chat with you, while another one is getting closer to you from your back and on the next moment you see them running away with your purse or wallet.
When you go out for sightseeing or just to have fun on a club or bar, you better don't take much money with you, more than you need indeed. What you can do is to separate different amounts of money on different places, so that you feel like your wallet or purse can be stolen, you have the access to the rest of the money you prepared for the journey.
When you choose to book a room in Hilton hotels in Rome, you better book a costlier hotel and avoid the cheap hotels. The more expensive hotels offer a better level of security and safety to you and your belongings. If there are available you choose a room between 4 and 6th floor, because they are better for security point of view. And what ever you do or where ever you go you must lock your hotel room, no matter there are people in the hotel, that can ensure you and your baggage is in safe.
And the last thing but not the least, before your departure, you do buy travel insurance, or travel medical insurance, which offer you a great insurance protection cover in the foreign countries.
