Your next holiday stop should be Sighisoara - a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, one of its famous residents was Vlad Dracu. The citadel built in
the 12th century includes the house where it is believed that Vlad
Dracu was born, a Weapon Museum and a torture chamber. For a bit of a
Gothic peace head up to the Church on the Hill by climbing the Covered
Staircase (there are around 300 stairs to climb).

Virgin Galactic intends to send tourists to space (and bring
them back) for the initial seat price for $200,000 but the prices is
believed to decrease to USD 20,000 eventually. So far around 200
tourists have booked their holiday into space. Next time your friens
tell you they go on holiday to the Dead Sea, take it with a pinch of
salt and keep an eye on their Facebook photos.

will also find some modern buildings like hotels with swimming pools or
commercial centres (note also the escalator or the lift, pictured,
which will take you to The Fisherman's Beach if you want to avoid the
traditional stairs).

For an active nightlife check out “The Strip” and you’ll party the
night away with different clubs, bars, café’s and restaurants. It’s not
just for the young crowd; old crowd can also visit the Strip and have
some fun while enjoying dinner and live music. While in Albufeira you
should try the local cataplana, chicken piri-piri or bacalhau (fried
cod) with a glass of green wine (the menu says it's green, but actually
it looks like white wine). If you are not happy with the local food you
always have the alternative of an English breakfast or fish and chips
lunch.

The suborbital space tourism is more affordable and is viewed
as a money making activity by companies such as Space Adventures,
Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin or Starchaser. The package would include a
few minutes of weightlessness, a view of twinkle-free stars and a
panorama of the Earth curve and all would cost around USD 200,000.

(historic football)? It is a traditional sport seen as the forerunner
of soccer but actually the calcio storico resembles rugby. Its origins
are in the Middle Ages when noblemen were amusing themselves playing in
impressive costumes. Nowadays a temporary arena is built in Piazza di
Santa Croce and there are four teams: blue, white, red and green
(coming from different quarters of Florence).
