Italy – wine, pizza and … “priest strangler”
The first suggestion is majówkowa Grado, ie small Venice . Grado is a 8-9 hour drive along the highway to Krakow and Katowice. Amazing, very climate, located on the lagoon city, properly town that does not have so many priceless treasures at Venice, but it’s worth it to see.
If we’re lucky, we’ll meet here more fishermen, housewives, local craftsmen than tourists. In May Grado definitely worth a try local delicacies. There are plenty of tavernas offering local delicacies, not only polenta, not only pasta, but also boreto. This is a local specialty, or fish soup served with white polenta.
And what about the food? After eating probably best to take a boat and cross the lagoon. Then we’ll see a place that even though so close to us, is so far away. Amazing, timeless, like the moon.
Lake Garda , which is the largest lake in Italy, near the border with Austria. It was there waiting when you arrive there for us paradise. A paradise for children who will not want to go out with one of the biggest theme parks, Gardaland. Paradise for moms to be walked romantic streets of towns like Salo and Sirmione, and of paradise for dads who will deign great wines, which are famous for the area.
It should also go to the nearby Verona , even in the footsteps of the heroine of the film “Letters to Juliet”. Verona is also the kingdom of truffles and fresh fish and … “constrictors priests”. This is a local specialty, thick noodles, so thick that it is sometimes difficult to swallow, mostly served with gorgonzola. Hence the name. The Prince then were regarded as łapczywych, pasta was hard to eat, so we have “constrictors priests”. This potential Juliet perhaps the best way to pick up a Romeo.
The third magical place of interest are Naples . There are three reasons why you should visit it. Firstly – we eat here
original and most delicious pizza in Italy, on the other hand – we will drink the best coffee in Italy, and the third will see the city where she was born Sophia Loren. It’s probably also an important reason.
Naples Area is primarily Pompeii, Vesuvius which destroyed a fascinating place and the island of love – Capri . Islands are many, but this is probably the best known. Naples itself enchants climate. It’s narrow streets poobwieszane laundry, śmigający motorcyclists and above all fair: fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, that blows smells, voices, noise, climate, and above all very captivating beauty and lilting way of speaking residents. This market is a real theater on the street. Here we actually die.
Belgium – royal azaleas, flea market and Chagall
Brussels can be visited without spending a lot of money. Of course, in celebration of the work of the Belgian capital are festivities. It is so loud, fun, and the kids can offer many attractions. The first of May, we visit one of the famous Brussels flea markets, and of course we’re back with a great trophy for a few pennies. These opportunities are still here goes.
In the evening, we get to visit the king. The royal family provides to visitors for a few weeks greenhouses full of exotic plants. Here you can check the opening hours of the royal greenhouses. should admire Art Nouveau architecture and the Belgian specialty greenhouse grown over the years by the queen Paola, Fabiola and Matilda – azaleas. The price for these things very democratic, aristocratic, for only 2.50 euros, and a children’s entrance is free.
Since we are in the capital of Europe, it is necessary at the weekend you have to look at the Parlamentarium. Do not pay a dime and we hold an interactive journey through the European Union.
We also recommend an exhibition of 200 paintings by Marc Chagall in the museum BOZAR. is magical.

This is a great area for long walks, which must necessarily end in one of the many traditional pubs, serving locally brewed beer.
London is a real treasure trove of great exhibitions, museums and concert halls. But in the May weekend you can go to the eastern part of the city, which runs along the famous Brick Lane. That’s where the cultural diversity of London is the most visible. There, over the centuries settled immigrants: French Huguenots, Jews and Muslims. Gourmet biggest attraction will be restaurants offering culinary delights of the Indian subcontinent. If you eat curry, you own Bick Lane.

Picnic in Paris – how to avoid the pitfalls?
Picnic is trap for tourists visiting disorganized Paris . You need to carefully plan a possible trip to the French capital, so as not to regret the lost time.
The first of May Louvre and other Parisian most famous museums are closed on four triggers due to Labor Day. Notre-Dame but you can not visit in the morning due to take place there then three services. The best solution is to sliding up on Friday morning at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Notre-Dame can freely explore while in the afternoon and in the evening to plan a romantic walk on the hill of Montmartre, where there is a unique atmosphere.
On Saturday, you can now plan your visit to the Louvre, which you need to spend at least a day and is free for those under the age of 25 years.
On Sunday would be a sin not to see just held in Paris famous Diego Velazquez exhibition, which brought the masterpieces of the Baroque master paintings from around the world. However, in order not to wait a few hours in the queue in front of the entrance to the palace exposition Grand Palais need to buy tickets for a specific time on the internet.
Also in the case Eiffel Tower just in case, better to book tickets for a specific time in the network.
All of these things will cost a person under the age of 25 years about 28 euros. The other tourists will have to spend on it about 42 euros.
Get ready broom on Walpurgis Night
In May weekend in Germany will host the witches. You can see them and for them to change. I start the long weekend is best at the top of the Brocken , the highest peak in the Harz, because that is where, according to legend, on the night of April 30 to May 1 held witches’ Sabbaths largest in Europe. I held today, although of course the tourist version. Walburga was indeed dying Englishwoman nuns dedicated to the eighth century, but just in Germany became famous miracles, and on top of the Brocken is associated hundreds of years later, mainly because of Faust. Johann Goethe liked charming Harz mountains. You can climb the same route as the writer or choose one of many others. You can also enter the cable, which was after the miners extracting silver, amongst others.
We also recommend a fairytale castle in nearby Wernigerode . After an overnight pursuit of witches, sprites and gnomes in the morning, you can see a rainbow halo around its head. Just stand on the mountain between the sun and the morning mist. This optical phenomenon is called Brocken specter.
