Geneva benefits from a natural setting which lends itself to all kinds of escapades and water sports, and the city is also lots of fun!
DESTINATIONS
» Eger and Hollókő (Hungary): you absolutely have to discover Eger, which, after Budapest, is perhaps Hungary’s most beautiful town and also the village of Hollókö which is classed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
» Mama Shelter (Paris): a cross between boutique hotel and upmarket youth hostel, Mama Shelter is located in a peripheral Parisian neighbourhood, not far from the Boulevard Périphérique.
WEEKEND IDEAS
» Medina Mayrit (Madrid, Spain): as the only Turkish bath house of its kind in Madrid, the Medina Mayrit urban spa offers the perfect retreat to relax and escape from it all.
Remarks Smaller than Madame Tussaud's Waxworks in London, this museum is equipped with an audio-animatronic system that recreates scenes and achieves remarkable effects. Those evoking Amsterdam's golden age and the artists living in it (Rembrandt, Vermeer, Jan Steen) are particularly successful. The cylindrical rotating model showing the town in the 17th Century should not be missed; and the museum holds a final trump card: the view of the Dam from the big window on the 4th floor.
