Everyone loves Prague.  It’s one of those places that people who have been lucky enough to visit will tell you is a must-see before you die, and almost anyone who goes there has a great time.
Under Communist rule for nearly 40 years, the city has retained much of its historic architecture (unlike much of the [...]

Even with the falling pound, not enough tourists are going to England these days.  Or at least that’s what England thinks.
The country recently launched a 10-year plan to bring in more tourists with its national tourist board, VisitEngland, as a public relations tactic and an attempt to get more people to visit the British nation.
England hopes [...]

The first time I heard someone order a Guinness-and-black, I thought it might be some kind of variation on a black-and-tan. Then I remembered that Guinness IS the “black” in “black-and tan” – there went my theory.

Maelu is home to some of the best desserts to be found in Munich.

I was introduced to this delicious cocktail on a week-long trip to Berlin.

If you’re like me and you think nothing could be better than an espresso-oatmeal stout with hints of cayenne pepper, Germany’s Purity Law may baffle you. Yes, at one point is was actually illegal in Germany to make beer using any ingredients other than water, barley, and hops. A later revision allowed wheat and cane [...]

Guinness is Ireland’s beloved drink, and the Guinness Storehouse has become one of the top tourist attractions in Ireland.

Even before the world’s economy “cratered” (my favorite term for it), the student traveler was perpetually low on funds. Now the money situation is the worst it’s been in our lifetimes, and if you’re lucky enough to be able to go backpacking or study abroad in the first place, chances are you don’t have a [...]

In typical German fashion, the town of Bamberg, located in Bavaria in the country’s east, is most famous for its beer. Not only does the town sport its own unique beer style but the colors and shapes provided by Bamberg’s architecture are a premium example of just how strong and detailed German architecture can be.
