Tristan da Cunha: one of the most remote places in the world

It is one of the most beautiful, largest and most famous squares in the world, but also the Plaza de España in Seville still holds secrets that not everyone knows. Also the protagonist of many successful movie films, it retains within itself the true soul ofAndalusia, a region divided between two worlds, the Arab and the Christian.

Did you know that the canals around are navigable? And that you can attend impromptu flamenco shows every day? This and much more hides this magnificent place, let's discover together all that, perhaps, you do not know.

The Brandenburg Gate is a neoclassical monument in Berlin. It is located on the western side of Pariser Platz in the Mitte district bordering the Tiergarten district.

It is probably the most famous and best known landmark of the German capital, opened to the public as far back as 6 August 1791 and appreciated by all tourists and travellers to Germany ever since.

From Napoleon's entry to the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate has remained in the background of major European historical events for more than two centuries. There is no shortage of curiosities and mysteries surrounding this monument.

Manhattanhenge, also known as the Manhattan solstice, is a phenomenon in which the setting of the sun is perfectly aligned with the streets running east-west through the borough of Manhattan, the 'island' of New York.

This phenomenon, which literally paralyses the streets of the Big Apple for a few minutes, occurs twice a year, at exactly the same distance from the summer solstice. The first occurs, in terms of time, around 28 May, while the second generally occurs around 12 July.

This phenomenon is named after the famous scientific divuigator Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History.

Mother Nature knows how to amaze us with phenomena of rare beauty capable of leaving those who observe them stunned, as if in contemplation of an incredible and unique spectacle.

If to admire them sometimes it is enough to gaze out the window of one's home and perhaps catch a glimpse of a fiery sunset or a particularly vivid rainbow, on other occasions one can set out to the remotest corners of the planet to unearth some of the most amazing natural phenomena ever seen.

But what are the rarest and most beautiful natural phenomena to see and where are they found?

Freenow, a dedicated mobility application, has produced a ranking of European cities whose centre is furthest from the airport. 

In addition to tracking distances, Freenow has also calculated the average time taken to reach the city centre and the relative cost of the taxi ride, so that it is possible to see which destinations are the most convenient in terms of the distance-time-to-trip-cost ratio. 

Here are the airports in European capitals that are closest to the city centre.

Wonders from the past, ancient cities returned to light, breathtaking views: there are many beautiful places that each of us should see at least once in our lives.

Here are some of the most fascinating archaeological sites, scattered around the world: these places are also the most visited by tourists for their beauty and priceless historical value.

Travelling does not only mean getting to know new places, visiting museums or admiring landscapes or monuments. 

Especially in summer, young people (but not only) are looking for destinations where they can combine the discovery of new places with a fun nightlife, made up of clubs where great artists can play or simple pubs where they can spend hours.

Europe abounds with places where you can combine a cultural holiday with nightlife fun: here are 10 of the best destinations for such a trip.

Flying by plane is often the only option, especially when the destination is far away.

Most cities offer suitable places for take-off and landing, but the situation is different for some locations where runways have little space, making stopovers very dangerous.

Destinations in the middle of nature, surrounded by mountains, located in icy areas or at very high altitudes, for example, can provide airports where manoeuvres are particularly challenging, despite the modernisation carried out in these areas. Here are some of the most dangerous airports in the world, even for the most experienced pilots.

One of the greatest desires for many fans of exotic destinations is to spend time in the water snorkelling and swimming with sea turtles, one of the most fascinating and graceful inhabitants of the sea.

Sea turtles have existed for over 150 million years, long enough to witness the extinction of the dinosaurs. Like marine reptiles, they have adapted their bodies to live in the ocean and spend about 90% of their lives in the sea. Females reach the beaches to lay their eggs, while some species rest on the shore. 

Sea turtles are skilled navigators and often migrate long distances in search of feeding areas and nesting beaches.

Here are five places where you are most likely to swim with sea turtles in their natural habitat.

Hot air ballooning is a unique and evocative experience. It allows you to see the world from a completely different perspective, admiring breathtaking views suspended hundreds of metres above the ground, in almost absolute silence. 

It is an activity suitable for everyone, from the more adventurous to those who simply want to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. Hot air ballooning can offer unforgettable thrills, such as rising at dawn to admire the sunrise or flying at dusk to enjoy spectacular plays of light. The flight can easily be customised according to one's needs and preferences. 

Let's discover together which seven places are considered among the most beautiful to live this unique experience.

Anatolia is a fascinating and very ancient region, a true cradle and meeting point of Western and Eastern civilizations. A central point of Asia Minor, its territory is dotted with archaeological sites full of traces and remnants of the past.

Because of its prestige and cultural-historical importance, for as many as 40 years UNESCO has included Turkish sites in the prestigious World's Heritage List, giving a big hand to tourism in the country. At present, there are 19 sites in Turkey on the UNESCO list, another 84 are candidates to become one.

In this our brief trip to Anatolia, we show you perhaps the most spectacular sites in the area.

The Imperial Fora are a series of five monumental squares built over a century and a half (between 46 BC and 113 AD) in the heart of the city of Rome by Julius Caesar and the emperors Augustus, Vespasian, Nerva and Trajan.

They represent one of the main attractions of the Eternal City, thanks to their state of preservation and above all their very long history. In fact, their construction coincides with the maximum extension of the Roman Empire, and they therefore represent the true cradle of our civilisation.

Given their long centuries of life, many are the curiosities they still conceal. But even simply shedding some light on their names and layout can be really interesting.

Some of the lakes are really special, such as the Dead Sea (a very salty lake).

However, there are also some rather bizarre lakes that we are sure you have hardly ever heard of but that, if you ever find yourself in those parts, are worth exploring.

Here are the 9 craziest lakes in the world.

Nature is capable of creating spectacles that are simply magnificent: for example, it has managed to shape some lakes in such a way as to give them truly distinctive shapes.

Such is the case with the striking lake Nackern, located in the Swedish region of Östergötland, a short distance from the city of Linköping. When viewed from above, it truly looks like a heart nestled among lush forests.
