With
its reputation as one of Europe's foremost party capitals firmly
entrenched, there's little need to list the Belgrade's ample nightlife
credentials. However, during the spring and summer months things reach
truly epic proportions with revellers packing the streets until dawn on a
nightly basis, and a general festive atmosphere permeating throughout
the whole city. If there's one word for visitors to familiarise
themselves with its 'splavovi' - the Serbian name for the party boats
moored along Belgrade's river banks. Coming in various shapes and sizes,
these are a must for any night out.

Kyiv
residents couldn’t be happier that spring has finally arrived. This
past winter has been one of the harshest in recent memory and saw the
capital literally trapped beneath snow, ice, and extremely freezing
temperatures for nearly two months. With that in mind, if a burly
Ukrainian sits next to you on a park bench and takes off his shirt,
don’t be alarmed…he just needs to soak in some rays to get over the
cabin fever. The main theme of this Spring in Kyiv is of course the
upcoming Euro2012 Championship.

Germany's
economy is doing better than expected, perhaps better than anyone else
in Europe at the moment, so the bankers stacked high in Frankfurt's
magnificent skyscrapers are probably relaxing a little after so many
years of scandal and worries. The city is too snooty to let you notice
any of this, so it's business as usual at street level, where mortals
like us try to make the most of our stay in the city.
Сибирь
уже стала скорее образом, чем географическим понятием. Все, что
простирается за Уральскими горами на восток, всю северную часть
азиатского континента многие, особенно иностранцы, считают Сибирью. Для
тех, кто там никогда не был, все это огромное пространство — города,
тайга, моря, реки, озера и болота сливаются в стереотипы — снег, мороз,
огромные расстояния, дикость...

Few
cities emerge from their winter hangover as exuberant as Kraków, where
all over Poland’s cultural capital at this very moment the beer garden
umbrellas are in full bloom, the pigeons are cooing and mounting each
other, couples are petting in the Planty and picnicking on the Wisła
riverbanks, while street performers play merry music in public squares
or stand by in silent protest of the clownish antics of costumed
tourists. Kraków has its spring buzz on in a big way and there’s no
better time to be here than the season of rising temperatures and
hemlines.

Welcome
to a city of unique old-world charm; the scene of an accident where
East broadsided West, but left only a dent. With its remarkably
preserved Gothic and Renaissance architecture, gently bending streets
and hidden ancient niches, Lviv is a Ukrainian city with a European
soul. Known as the centre of Ukrainian art and culture, the city
boasts many of the country’s brightest and best museums, art galleries
and theatres. It is also Ukraine’s Bible belt buckle - there are
magnificent and inspiring churches and cathedrals on just about every
corner. Although Lvivians have the reputation as church-goers, they
haven’t forgotten how to party. Pubs, clubs, restaurants and coffee
houses are plentiful and it’s usually a local who’s stoking the
celebration into the early morning hours.
Mexico
is a heady sort of place; it inundates you with sights, sounds, smells,
tastes, and tactile sensations. A dry text, no matter how informative,
just doesn't do justice to Mexico's allure. DK's Eyewitness Travel Guide
series, on the other hand, does. Sure, it provides the necessary data
points. The "Travelers' Needs" section contains 168 recommended hotel
options and another 168 restaurants--as well as a beautifully
illustrated guide to the foods of Mexico. And there are pages of
practical information on visas, health precautions, time zones,
electricity, taxis, security, banking, communications, and the like.
