”Fly Europe for less”
– ready for take off…
Sterling CEO Almar Örn Hilmarsson
Six months ago, we initiated the merger of
Sterling and Maersk Air – a process we were
advised would take around 12-15 months. I am
happy to say that as of the start of the summer
programme end of March, the new and single
company has been created. This is a significant achievement where we will now be able
to shift all of the energy and dedication of our
company to bring our customers even cheaper
and better transportation from A to B. Let me
touch on some of the new developments.
NEW ROUTES – DIRECT FROM A TO B
We have launched a number of exciting new
routes. This includes new routes from Oslo to
Barcelona, Chania and Mallorca. And, from
Stockholm to Chania and Billund to Athens.
In addition, as the only airline we now provide
direct flights from Copenhagen and Oslo to
Florence, Italy. There is also an increased focus on traditional business routes. For example, low fare flights from Oslo to Amsterdam.
NEW HOMEPAGE – EASIER AND FASTER
Simplicity is the keyword for our new homepage that now sports one of the easiest and
fastest booking procedures in the industry. We
wanted to ensure that the overview is yours
– so that it is always you who is able to choose
with the confidence that the
right value-for-money for
your need was obtained.
NEW PARTNERSHIPS
– ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Sterling continues to develop
our partnerships for your
benefit. Agreements with
Holiday Auto and Hotel Connect ensure that complete
low fare packages are available, for those travelers who
wish to combine a low cost
ticket with cost transportation and accommodations at
the chosen destination. Both
com-panies may be reached
through our internet page, in a convenient and
easy combination with the air ticket.
that you receive the latest offers and destinations, when they are published.
“FLY EUROPE FOR LESS” – MORE TO COME!
Have a great trip!
With the merger completed and the first initiatives of the merged company launched, the
future for Sterling looks promising. We will
continuously look for new destinations to provide cheap and punctual services - and plan to
open new routes during the year. At our website you can sign up for our free newsletter, so

With their fervent music, Icelandic Sigur
Rós has kept their audiences around the
world spellbound. The band plays at
sell-out concert houses in USA and Japan
and is called the greatest Icelandic name
since Björk. You can meet them at this
year’s Roskilde Festival spearheading the
new and barrier-bursting music.

SIGUR RÓS INTERVIEW
ed
– with an international appeal
By Gitte Bisse Bertelsen, journalist (dj)
Photo: Rune Johansen
Time stands still when you listen to Sigur Rós. At least it feels that
way. You automatically get a desire to close your eyes and disappear
into their sound universe which can be both beautiful, raw, sad,
funny, dignified, vulnerable, robust, light, dark, quiet and thundering, but never indifferent and always very fervent.
As we speak, the band travels around the world with music from
their latest album. Takk...released by the multinational EMI and
they are playing at sell-out concerts both in Japan and USA. After
further visits to Australia, Bangkok, Canada, New Zealand among
others, the band points their Icelandic woolly hats towards Europe
A fan in her dream mode by Sigur Rós’ music, here at one of their spectacular
shows.
where they give concerts in Italy, Belgium, Spain, Norway, Sweden
and Denmark.
Sigurd Rós is another proof that the small volcanic Island – where
you may bicycle on the pavement and nature looks like nothing you
have seen anywhere else in the world – again and again manages to
breed original artists with international clout.
“We ourselves are really surprised that people receive our music so
well. Some of our hits last 10 minutes, we sing in a strange language
that no-one understands and we use our instruments differently. We
didn’t think it would work, but perhaps people yearn for something
that is different, that they don’t normally hear”, says the drummer of
the band Orri Páll Dýrason. And the lead singer, guitarist and more,

Photo: Arnar Eggert Thoroddsen
Jón þór Birgisson (nick-named Jönsi) explains:
Lots of people are just about tired of eating bad
junk fast-food and perhaps it is the same phenomenon when people turn to our music”.
Sigur Rós, at every level defies the conventions
of the well known, easily digestible pop- and
rock culture. This shows in their music first
and foremost, but the band is also said to be
media shy and they don’t like posing in front of
cameras like traditional rock-stars.
“In the beginning, we didn’t know what to say
and had no experience, but now we have learnt
to do things in a way that makes us feel more
comfortable and we enjoy it more. It is OK, as
long as it does not take up too much space”
, says Orri who hasn’t got very warm feelings
and thoughts for the pushy music industry.
“That is the ugly part of it and we try to keep
our distance”, he says.
MUSIC CREATED FROM INNER FEELINGS
Sigur Rós’ music does not just flow from the
many platforms of the world. The strong feelings and powerful moods have made both film
makers and dancers woo the band. In 2003
the band, together with the English Radiohead, created part of the soundtrack for the
legendary dancer Merce Cunningham’s galla
performance, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the company. In the film Vanilla Sky
with Tom Cruise in the lead role, you also get a
taste of the music of these Icelandic boys.
When the music is created it takes place in the
band’s studio just 10 minutes outside Reykjavik
in an old swimming pool that has belonged to
a wool factory and was utilised as bath facilities for the employees. In these surroundings,
with the sound acoustics beings something
quite special, the four members of the band
meet and jam their music into hits.
Sigur Rós is not fond of posing as rock stars and they
prefer to be photographed by people who know them.
Here they play football outside their studio in the former
swimmingpool.
“We are all four involved in creating the music
and we know each other well enough for not

drank a lot of coffee, and I think this shows in
the album,” Jönsi comments. The productions
of the band are all very different from each
other, just as it is also different how the band
chooses to promote the music. For example the

We just play and see what happens – our only
plan is that we don’t have any. We are not out
to please anyone but play the harmonies that
pop up”, Jönsi explains.
The music is therefore characterised by where
the band members happens to be in their lives,
and which mood and feeling they have at that
moment the music is conceived. Their latest
album Takk..., for instance, is by many critics called far more expressive than their ear-

The band enjoys lighting up a good old fashioned pipe of tobacco and they have formed the pipe smokers organisation called “Geisir”. Here we see the four members of the organisation

quartet; Amiina (formerly Amina) that often
performs with them.
The band is also very friendly with the well
known Icelandic artist, Björk, who has
expressed that she sees herself as the elderly
aunt of the band.
“Well Björk – yeah, we know her, we often
meet her down town. She is fun, she behaves
like a 10 year old kid” Jönsi says, true to his
frank and quaint Icelandic humour.
THE SOUND OF ISLAND – OR?
If you have been to Island and listened to the
band’s music, you might easily find that the
notes carry associations to nature, the special
calm, beauty power you find in the rough and
characteristic landscapes. But what does the
band think about that? Is there a particular Icelandic quality and sound in Sigur Rós’s music?
“It is hard for us to determine whether there is
a particular Icelandic sound, but I don’t really
think it would have made any difference if,
for instance, we had grown up in for example Copenhagen. I believe I have been more
influenced by listening to my parents’ music;
Rolling Stones, Beatles and old stuff like that”,
Orri says.
Lead singer and guitarist Jönsi agrees that the

band’s music is not under any particular influence, like for instance the land they grew up in.
“We travel around a lot and get inspired by the
people we meet, by places, moods, experiences – so you might say that our music is being
influenced by the whole world”, Jönsi says and
chuckles to himself, perhaps over the somewhat grandiose statement.
Neither is Sigur Rós prone to put their music into
compartments, nor analyse it or have preconceived ideas about how listeners should interpret
the music. As long as they just react to it.
“It is nice and inspiring when the audience
shows that they like our music, but as long as
they are moved by it, then we don’t care whether
they faint, fall asleep or react negatively”, Jönsi
comments. And Sigur Rós’ music has a way
of finding its way into the soul of the listeners
rather than appealing to their intellectual and
rational conception. It is probably the fervency
of the music that causes many to ascribe a
more spiritual dimension to Sigur Rós.
“Well, it is hard to say whether we are a spiritual band. But we are a bunch of very honest
people who are what we are and only do what
feels right – and many would see that as a part
of being spiritual,” Jönsi says.
“Perhaps it has also something to do with the
fact that we are singing in a language which
most people don’t understand, so people listen
to us in another way than through the texts,”
Orri offers, as another explanation for why
they have a reputation for being spiritual, mysterious and magical.
Looking ahead, the boys are now focusing on
their big tour, and they love it when they can
travel by bus from venue to venue, like in the
USA. “Airports are strange places and flying is
so boring”, the band members agree. They have
overcome their nervousness about playing in
their home country “then mum and dad and
the friends can come along” – and they have
planned a number of concerts in late summer,
some in Reykjavik and some in other parts of
the country.
Thursday 29th June you can hear Sigur Rós at
the Roskilde Festival and the band is accompanied by the string quartet Amiina and a brass
group as well. That will be an Icelandic feast
to talk about, when 12 musicians invite the
Roskilde visitors into an experimental and very
different universe.
“The Roskilde Festival is actually our favourite.
The atmosphere and the energy of that place is
great and we look forward to present our new
repertoire to the audience”, says Orri. ■

Somewhere I read: “He, who tires of London, tires of
life”. That is exactly how I feel: Nothing is so wrong
that it can’t be cured by a weekend in London. That’s
why I return again and again to what will always be
my favourite city. Come along on a tour of discovery
to a few of places you might not previously have
heard about.
LONDON
along to my town
British Museum is worth to visit.
By Lene Byriel, journalist (DJ)
FRIDAY
London has a reputation for being expensive.
And it is. Especially the food is often as expensive as it is bad. But if you avoid the smartest
places, finding something to eat without being
flayed is no problem at all.
On the first evening, you might not have the
energy to eat out. But that can be fixed. Nearly
every big store (e.g. Sainsbury, Marks & Spencer,
Tesco – or even Boots) have a choice of sandwiches and salads that make the selections back
in Denmark look like food in a Russian prison
canteen. Grab a take-and-go sandwich or two,
supply with one of the many types of freshly
pressed juices, vitamin drinks or smoothes and
get ready to relax in the hotel room.
Afterwards, a small stroll in the area and a
good night’s sleep will prepare you to conquer
the city the next morning.
SATURDAY
Now it is the time for exploring. If you are
avid about culture, then London is filled with
museums to satisfy every taste, and most of
them don’t charge for your visit. There is, for
instance, British Museum for the artistic souls.
Science Museum for the curious ones and
Natural History Museum for nature lovers.
“London is filled with
museums to satisfy every
taste.”
But most people come for shopping. And this
is where London really scores. You can buy
yourself poor in expensive designer labels, you
can get on the edge of fashion and you can go
hunting for curiosities at bargain prices. I am
for the latter option.
Saturday morning it is off to the Portobello
Road market in Notting Hill. Here you can
find antiques, jewellery and curiosities in the
first part of the market (around Portobello
Green).
When you are tired of the crowd, then possibilities for shopping are still there in some of
the major stores. Top Shop has cheap, young
clothes, Marks & Spencer is brilliant for basic
needs like tights, lingerie (try the tops with
built-in bras) and t-shirts etc., and Boots and
Superdrug have the most enormous selection
of beauty products, skin care and hair care.
You could finish off in the Neal Street and
Neals Yard area, where for instance shoe shops
are many. Drink a freshly pressed vitamin juice
at the market café and take in a walk-in neck
massage before the return to unload wares and
freshen up at the hotel.
Saturday night is restaurant time. If you love
sushi, Gili Gili is a must. Normally conveyer
belt style sushi means big spending. My tendency anyway is to want to try everything that
moves past my nose, and that is expensive. Yet,
LONDON
not at Gili Gili. Here you pay a one-off price
and then you can eat all the rice and fish titbits
you can manage for the mere sum of £13.95.
You have to remember one thing, though: Gili
Gili is tired of people who grab heaps of food
and then throw it away when they are full. That
is why they add an extra amount on your bill if
you have left-overs. So only take what you can
eat. Another tip about food that does not leave
your wallet in total collapse is Tuk Tuk, who
serves tasty Thai food in generous portions.
The premises are clean and pleasant, the staffs
will explain the content of the dishes, and the
special offers with a set menu are really good.
But beware: when they say “spicy” and “hot”
about a dish, they really do mean it.
Now perhaps it is time for a trip to the theatre
- or a musical? That is probably the case if you
have gone past “tkts”, the official sales venue
for half price tickets in the middle of Leicester Square. Be careful: Ticket sharks operate in
several places of this area and try to sell you
“cheap” tickets, but it is often a con trick. You
risk suddenly having to pay a huge fee or getting bad seats. So buy your tickets at “tkts” then you are sure to get the real thing.
“Go for the more
old-fashioned looking
places rather than the
more trendy ones ”
If posh culture is not really you, then now is
the time to explore London’s pubs, e.g. Soho
area. Go for the more old-fashioned looking
places rather than the more trendy ones with
queues, doormen and scantily clad girls. The
Duke of Argyll is one of the good options, and
here, or in any of the other pubs in the vicinity, you can even be lucky enough to run into
the wonderful Six Minute Saints, a corps of
“walkabout” masseuses. Make sure you say yes
Tea at Rich, exactly as in the Victoria time.
please if they come by and offer a six-minute
neck massage – you only pay what you think
the massage is worth and the money goes to a
good cause: HIV/aids relief.
SUNDAY
Sunday is the market day in London. Start the
day in Brick Lane, for instance. The area is also
nick named “Banglatown” after the immigrants
from Bangladesh who opened the first shops
and “curry-houses” here. The market offers
everything from vintage clothes and shoes to
nuts and bolts, plastic thingamajigs and young
design with no compare (The Truman Brewery building). All around, tiny exclusive shops
have started to sprout with jewellery, shoes
and ceramics. Don’t miss the institution: Brick
Lane Bagel Bake. Here bagels are baked which
are simply unrivalled. The little shop is open
day and night, there are often queues far into

If you love to sit for weeks before
you travel, wallowing in stacks of
books and articles about your destination, then this guide is good news.
A steady stream of guidebooks is
still being produced despite the
world having come closer to us, and
the internet being so handy.
From the small, boring pocketbooks
with tiny print and few pictures
that we used to have, the choice,
quality and variety of guidebooks
have improved enormously in step
with the fact that we tend to travel
much more, and our journeys are
much more frequent in numbers
and of shorter duration. New and
more niche type guides have arrived
too, and they give advice on specialist trips like for instance the perfect weekend tour, the trip for beer
enthusiasts, guide to design hotels
of Europe, travelling on a budget,
gay and lesbian travel, guide to the
most environmentally correct way
to travel, and the best places for
fly fishing in Europe. The narrow
guides mingle in the market with
the more traditional and common
guidebooks that cover everything
from the history and culture of the
destination, attractions, shopping
options and bus ticket prices, and
to what you should eat during your
stay. But the traditional guidebooks
are also evolving and the competition between the different publishers
is tough. That is why you can usually
count on the guides being fully up to
date, having the latest information
and news and being more and more
lushly designed and reader friendly.
Visually, the books also aspire to
give the readers some better close
up and sensual experiences through
many photos, graphic and easy to
follow presentations. Several of the
guidebooks have started to bring 3D
illustrations of the greatest attractions so you from the comfort of your
home can practise exploring St.
Peters Church, or the magnificent
Alhambra in Spain. It might sound a
bit pedantic, but when you actually
stand in St. Peters Church and you
are overwhelmed with its greatness,
not knowing where to start or finish,
then it is actually quite nice to have
a little prior knowledge. It would be
too bad to miss the view from the
outside of the church dome just for
the lack of knowing that you can
actually get all the way up there.
AN EXTRA TRAVEL COMPANION IN
YOUR BAG
If you choose to make use of a
guidebook when you are travelling,
you will probably discover that it is
like leaning against an experienced
travel companion, who knows his
way around the destination like the
inside of his pocket.
Most destinations usually offer
much more than you have time to
experience during your visit, and this is
where guidebooks can assist you in picking just the right place of interest, thus
making the most of your time.
Guidebooks can also turn out to be a bit
of a financial investment as they usually
carry tips about which days there is free
admission to museums, which eating places are cheap and good, which attractions
can be enjoyed quite free, information
about the price of taxies etc. Most general guidebooks also contain practical town
maps that will make it easier to find your
way back if you inadvertently have lost
your way.
But remember: When you are at your
destination, the very best way to get the
latest inside and updated tip is to always
ask the locals for advice, that is if you
speak the language – otherwise you usually can find a mini phrase book in your
guidebook.
We wish you a happy journey and will now
bring an introduction to some of the English language guidebooks, which we have
picked to be the best and the coolest on
the market just now. ■
THE LEGENDARY LONELY PLANET
Lonely Planet has a reputation for having the best guidebooks
of the world, and they had years of practice. The first guidebook
was published in the beginning of the 1970’s, when the two
founders of the publishing firm completed a long journey from
London to Asia and on to Australia. This journey resulted in
the first Lonely Planet guidebook entitled “Across Asia on The
Cheap”, and it laid the foundation for the creation of this top of
the market, independent travel book publishing firm. Integrity
and clear, tough views are the hallmarks of this company. They
allow no advertising in their books and authors may not receive
any kind of payment or service for writing positively about anything or anyone. Lonely Planet chiefly addresses backpackers at
long journeys and they go to great lengths to give their readers
some upbringing in travelling in a manner that shows consideration and respect.
Although Lonely Planet’s strength lies with the overseas destinations, they are also competitive in their range of guides to
the big cities in Europe. And if you want to be absolutely top
of the league you should invest in the latest creation, Blue List,
which captures the best places to go and the best things to do
in 2006/07. Lonely Planet Blue List will reveal the top ten countries voted `hottest destinations � as well as 618 things to do
and places to go for the year ahead.
The information is compiled by authors, staff and travelers and
Blue List is planned to be an annual publication.

DK EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDES – CLASSIC GUIDES IN A NEW STYLE
Since 1993 the Publisher Dorling Kindersley has sold no less than 30 million
guidebooks, and this year they launched their well known guides in a new and
revised version. The firm is known as highly respected publisher and they have
won several prizes throughout the years for their guidebooks that are practical
and full of information – but the publisher seemingly has acknowledged the danger of resting on one’s laurels, since they are beginning to modernise the designs
of the popular travel series.
The look is updated and the books have new features, their maps are improved
and more hotels and restaurants are added to the lists. These guides are visually
impressive and easy to use, enabling the reader to find his way around quickly.
The first guides with the new design should already be in the shops: Barcelona
and Catalonia, Berlin, Florence and Tuscany, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy,
London, Paris, Prague, Provence and Cote D’Azur, Rome and Spain.

WELLNESS IN TUSCANY
Tuscany is famous for its rich culture, architecture, sculptures and paintings but it has also
another side. Making use of a long history and
strong tradition for spas and wellness, Tuscany
offers the finest composition for relaxation,
dining, experience art and a short getaway.
Combine the cultural richness with wellness
in some of the luxurious natural spa resorts of
Tuscany, and you will almost feel like being in

WELLNESS IN TUSCANY
The Bioaquam offers both an indoor
pool and an outdoor section.
By Mia Bøhme Olsen
Photo: Genivs Loci / Milano
Spa stands for Salus per aquam and
means "health through water"
After a two-hour flight I arrive at
the Ciampino Airport in Rome, the
sun is shining and warms nicely. I
make myself comfortable in the
rented bus that transports me
through Lazio towards the Tuscan
highland, where I am visiting Fonteverde Natural Spa Resort, which
was elected “The best new spa in
the world in the best place in the
world” in 2002. It is a five star spa
resort situated in a little village with
approximately 500 inhabitants, San
Casciano dei Bagni. In Tuscany
many cities and spa resorts have
names like bagno, bagni or terme,
which means bath or warm spring.
This is a clear indication on how
popular and widespread spa and
thermal baths are in Tuscany as
well as in the rest of Italy. The huge
number of spa resorts in Tuscany is
a result of volcanic activity in the
region, by mean of which the geothermal heat is extracted and used.
A PEARL IN THE TUSCAN
LANDSCAPE
Arriving in a little village, we pass
the hotel gate and a historical
villa appears. The lobby has been
restored accordingly and it feels
like stepping back in time, with
old pictures, drapes, furniture and
a consistent art deco. The entire
hotel is in fact marked by the Italian
history, and the decoration of the
rooms is inspired from the antique
and the renaissance. An underground corridor connects the hotel
to the spa, which means that I can
walk directly from my room to the
spa wearing only a light green coloured robe and slippers. The thermal centre is a complex including
therapeutic thermal pools, specific
thermal and beauty treatments and
a fitness centre, where beauty and
health are in focus. I decide to try
the Turkish bath, because steam is
very healthy for the organs and the
airways, and indeed inhaling steam
feels very healthy, and I can easily
picture how my airways need this
treatment as I am probably inhaling
polluted air on a daily basis. Afterwards I go to the Bioaquam, which
is an indoor pool with a passageway
to an outdoor section. I sit in the
pool and get a hydro massage and at
the same time I enjoy the beautiful
view from here. Fonteverde is located in a landscape, which is, in itself,
a source of relaxation. Green fields,
colourful flowers, mountains in the
horizon and the peacefulness that
surrounds the landscape, the resort
and me. In the daytime it is possible
to see the volcano, Monte Amiata,
from here, which produces the geothermal heat for the spa resort. The
hydro massage activates circulation
and gives an energetic massage to
the legs, where, according to oriental discipline, much energy is concentrated. At the moment I feel very
relaxed and nowhere energetic, but
I can understand how this can be
energetic in the long run, as this is
luxury and spoiling out of the ordi-

nary. In this moment I think to myself whether
spa nurses the mind or the body – who knows?
Maybe it is a combination. My curiosity makes
me swim through the passage and out in the
early night, but the water is warm, and the
combination of the heat and the light wind
is refreshing. I lie down in one of the “beds”
in the water and let the bobbles massage my
circulatory system as well as my venous, lymphatic and arterial systems. I leave the pool to
go and have dinner in the restaurant.
AN EYE FOR DETAILS
The restaurant is named after the Grand Duke
Ferdinand the first, which was Grand Duke
in the 17th century, where the hotel was constructed. The restaurant serves a range of traditional Tuscan cuisine, calorie-controlled dishes
and customized diet programmes. I choose a
selection of local Tuscan salamis with canapés
and, for the main course, mixed Tuscan meat
grilled with spinach, pine nuts and raisins - it
is simply outstanding. Along with the Tuscan
vine I am drinking Fonteverde
mineral water, which is a private

placed a stool for my handbag.
In Fonteverde they have an eye
for the details, and these details
are contributing to making this
spa resort something special.
Nothing is left by chance; the
spa resort has its own line of
products based on algae from
the thermal water and is used
in all treatments, and I get to
try these products as the hotel
have left me a package of samples. Furthermore the hallways
in the hotel smell sweet of fresh
flowers. Fonteverde is simply
fascinating and enchanting.
GROTTA GIUSTI AND BAGNI DI
PISA
I love Fonteverde Natural Spa
Resort, for which reason I decide to go and visit the two remaining spa resorts in the hotel chain STB Societá
Terme e Benessere, also situated in Tuscany:
Grotta Giusti and Bagni di Pisa. These two spa
resorts far from disappoint me. Grotta Giusti,
which is situated in the Monsummano Terme
between Pisa and Florence, is especially known
for its natural Grotta, in which the hotel is
built around. In the Grotta, which is some
sort of cave, the steam of the thermal waters
detoxifies the organism for an overall sense of
well being resembling the Turkish bath in Fonteverde. Even though the temperature in the
Grotta ranges from 31°C in the first cavity to a
maximum of 34°C in the last cavity, however,
after thirty relaxing minutes in a comfortable
chair it feels much hotter because of the high
humidity, which is close to 100 percent. In
Bagni di Pisa, which is located about six km
from Pisa, a treatment called Watsu especially
impresses me as I have never tried anything
like this. Watsu is an oriental discipline and
combines water and shiatsu. It is a different
water experience, where an instructor performs a massage of my meridians in warm
WELLNESS IN TUSCANY

Grotta Giusti is named
after
water, which is supposed to have a regulating

COMBINE WELLNESS WITH DAYTRIPS
Wellness is getting more popular and, all over
Europe, new spa resorts open, but what makes
Tuscany unique is the possibility to combine
spa and wellness with other activities in beautiful scenery. And Tuscany has an abundant
number of activities to offer. Combine wellness
with daytrips to the larger cities of Tuscany,
where Florence is an obvious choice with its
rich culture, museums, art and architecture.
Lucca is a smaller, but charming city with
92,000 inhabitants and is also worth visiting
with its many churches, peaceful cobbled
streets, small museums and inviting restaurants. In Pisa, which is only 6 km from the spa
resort Bagni di Pisa, you can visit the leaning
tower of Pisa and the beautiful cathedral on
Piazza dei Miracoli (Miracle Square), which is
a witness of Pisa’s great historical significance.
Besides visiting the famous cities of Tuscany
you may consider spending time enjoying the
stunning natural scenery of Tuscany. The climate and the various morphological features
of the area make golf a perfect opportunity of
enjoying the landscape and having an active
vacation simultaneously. You can play all day
or visit museums, take a thermal bath, swim
in the sea and relax in the evening enjoying
Tuscan cuisine. Montecatini Golf Club, near
Grotta Giusti and Bagni di Pisa Natural Spa
Resorts, offers an 18 holes golf course. And
in Siena, not far from Fonteverde Natural Spa
Resort, Villa Gori Golf Club is situated with a
6 holes golf course. Tuscany is also well known
for it’s many vineries, many of which can be
visited. Not far from Fonteverde Natural Spa
Resort the famous wine Brunello di Montalcino is produced, and in the beautiful city of
Montepulciano the wine vino nobile di Montepulciano is cultivated.
Although the ski season in Tuscany is relatively
short, you can go skiing on the volcano Monte
Amiata in the wintertime, which is the volcano
that produces the thermal heat for Fondeverde
Spa Natural Resort. Monte Amiata is also very
beautiful in the summer, where you can just
enjoy the view from the top or explore the area
around the mountain, where the flora and fauna is both unique and varied. Regardless your
choice of activities I promise you that Tuscany
will not disappoint you!
When I arrived at the Fonteverde Natural Spa
Resort the first day I had backaches, but the
thermal treatments in the three resorts have
been very effective. After a short getaway with
spa and wellness treatments in Tuscany I feel
that I have regained my strengths, my skin is
smooth and relaxed from the peeling effect of
the thermal water and my backache is almost
gone. It would be fantastic if doctors prescribed wellness treatments as justification for
going away and spoiling ones body and mind.
But is this even necessary? My recommendation stands, if you are looking for wellness
perhaps in combination with culture, beautiful
scenery and fine cuisine, Tuscany is the place
to go! ■

Dear reader, are you comfortable in your seat? With your fresh newspaper and a hot cup of coffee? Now, lean back, take a deep breath, relax
and look around. From your seat you can actually view a fair bit of the
world. Not just in the most literal sense when you look out of the window, but also into a technological, cultural and social world. Your paper
brings you fresh news, both domestic and foreign. The coffee is from the
opposite side of the planet, probably imported by the world’s third greatest importers of coffee: Germany. The milk could be packed in Swedish
mini Tetra Pack and the chocolate could be Norwegian. Your bag, probably designed in Denmark but manufactured in Poland, could contain a
Finnish mobile phone with Korean technology and American software
and it would be keeping track of your telephone directory with your
friends from up to 10 countries. The mobile phone is so great an accessory in your life that you probably would return and get it if you forgot to
bring it, a status earlier reserved for wallets and keys only. Around you
sit men and women, children, young people, old age pensioners reading, sleeping, chatting, stretching, and blowing their noses into their
disposable hankies while waiting for time to pass and for the approaching landing. They could be from anywhere in the whole world, but it is
nearly impossible to tell from a glance where they live, where they are
going and what they are going to do there. Culture, religion and social
patterns no longer homogenize us as they did just 50 years ago. Flying
has become so common that we no longer put on our best clothes, and
clapping when the wheels hit the ground seems a bit silly.

be limits to what we can do. But do we like it? Do we want it? And what
do we want it for?
The future is part of our every day life. A trip to the supermarket will
soon become an increasing designer event, when the smell of newly
baked bread, sweets, ice cream and chicken assault our nostrils in a
subtle bid to tempt us to buy even more. Intelligent wrappings react

able to get a suntan safely, but it turned out to have two side effects: The
first is that you lose your appetite and the second is you become sexually
aroused. Some pills can optimise your memory, while others can make
you forget, for instance in order to minimize the effects of a traumatic
experience. The Forget-It pill will initially be offered rape victims or people whose work includes cleaning up in areas hit by natural disasters.

It is interesting that those, who
know a lot about a given area,
are often not particularly good at
predicting what will happen; that
is why the saying goes: “To think
new, think skew”, think outside
the box, think away from what
you know. But it is actually not so.
If the purpose with new thinking
is to utilize the possibilities and
changes of the future, you then
need to think in different boxes.
The future is not predicted – it is
created. Future is just a good synonym for new possibilities, but
they must be gathered together in
a technological, social and cultural
bouquet before they make sense.
The future might seem uncertain,
but it is the best basis for decision-making that exists, if you
see the unknown, the unsaid and
the unseen as a window of opportunities to build up a new value
– at the right time and the right
place. It is a widespread myth that
it is technology that changes the
world, perhaps because technology fills so much of our daily
lives. But it is not technology that

Tampax and SMS are two good
examples of products that have
created a new future. SMS created a demand of its own. SMS

it represents a new social ritual.
When the first tampons hit the
market in the 1930s they met an
unexpressed demand. No woman
had ever expressed the desire for a
tampon but nevertheless industry
created a market that, potentially,
is half the earth’s population. The
tampon took the place of old
rags, plastic aprons, un-cool belts
and travel-ovens for burning the
unmentionable remains, while it

The art of book printing in its heyday led to a
greater information revolution than the Internet, but Guthenberg’s Press would be meaningless if we gave it to rain forest Indians in the

The printing press was a product of it’s time

revolutionary machine, Ford’s conveyer belt,
did not fall down from the sky either, but borrowed knowledge from many other branches
– from sewing machines, slaughterhouses and
breweries and, despite often hearing the opposite, Edison did not invent the light-bulb. He
invented the purpose of the light-bulb, bringing the light out where there was darkness, and
he did this with an insight from the gas suppliers of his time.

A six km long wall from the 15th century
divides Bergamo into a new and an old town.
The new town, Bergamo Basa, embraces the
beautifully preserved Bergamo Alta situated
on a mountain top. Bergamo has 130.000
inhabitants, and 3.000 of them live in the old
town.
Every day thousands of the citizens use the
nice mountain railway, called funicolare, to
travel between the two parts of the town. Sadly, the trip is short compared with the time it
takes to walk to the top. But then it only costs
one single Euro, so if it would take several trips
to make the experience perfect, then at least it
wouldn’t break the budget.
“…here are great opportunities to enjoy Italy
together with the Italians.”
The most charming entrance to Bergamo Alta
begins in the Viale Emanuele II. The funicolare stops 356 m higher at the square Mercato
Delle Scarpe, the heart of Bergamo, and from
this point seven small streets branch off. The
mountain railway station also has a café with

impressive windows and a terrace that gives
you a view of Bergamo Basa and the Po Plains
with a lot of hills, valleys and mountains creating a beautiful background. The locals are
coming here making the picture perfect. Bergamo is not yet overrun by tourists compared
with other towns in Lombardi. Here are great
opportunities to enjoy Italy together with the
Italians.
A SENSUAL TOWN
Up here you will find the special shops side by
side on the narrow stone paved street. On Via
Gambito all kinds of cheese are sold from a
stall in the street. Goat cheese, sheep cheese,
parmesan cheese and other delicacies - everything in huge pieces. Of course it is allowed
to taste, it is delicious, but that does not make
it easier to choose. Luckily, the cheese is far
much cheaper than it is back home, five Euros
for 500 g of parmesan cheese of the highest
quality must be a good buy.
It is hard to pay the many churches the attention they deserve. Piazza Vecchia tries hard.

colare. The square is surrounded by buildings from the
middle age and from the renaissance and the historic
Santa Maria Maggiore church. This church has unique
intarsia wooden mosaics in the choir designed according
to Lorenzo Lotto’s drawings. The four finest drawings are
exhibited in front of the choir.
Piazza Vecchia is a perfect scene for gastronomic experiences. The sound of 180 penetrating bell chimes from the
53 m high tower every evening at ten is a very different
kind of experience. Don’t let the bell chimes prevent you
from enjoying the view from the top of the tower.

BERGAMO
Since the latest year, many more
listeners have come into the vicinity of the bells. After a total indoor
smoking ban was introduced, the
cafés and restaurants with outdoor service have attracted a lot
of customers. From the outdoors
you can also see the La Rocca fortress from the 13th century and
the fortress called Castello San
Vigilio whose view is equally picturesque.
While Bergamo Alta has remained
nearly untouched for centuries,
Bergamo Basa has developed at the
foot of the mountain. When the
evening sun brings more muted
hues to the buildings that in daytime are so colorful, young people
meet here on their two wheeled
Ítalians´ wearing trendy helmets.
The young people exchange kisses
on cheeks, and using big gestures they exchange their news
and approach the evening with
panache.
Art lovers also could easily enrich
themselves in Bergamo Bassa
since both the Accademia Carrara
and the Galleria d’Arte Moderna e
Contemporanea are museums of
particularly noteworthy quality.
TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT
You will find it easy to use public
transport to Bergamo from Milan
Malpensa airport.
Bergamo is not far from other Italian pearls in Lombardi, so, if you
have more than two weekend days
available, you will find many exciting destinations within reaches
by car. Among them are Desenzano and Sirmione, which are
both by the Garda Lake. The trip
could even end up in Venice, from
where to catch a Sterling flight to
Copenhagen. ■

In recent years, Copenhagen has
become reknowned for being northern
Europe’s largest festival city. As part of
the city’s flourishing cultural life all-year
round, numerous festivals are held every
year, with themes ranging from rock and
jazz to film, food, design and fashion.
Text and photo: Woco
Spring and summer is the high season for festivals, which add an extra touch of brilliance
to the city's colourful streets and squares and
many beautiful green oases. The festival organisers take people's love of the outdoors seriously, and many events take place in the open
air, against the backdrop of some of the city's
most beautiful settings. This gives the festivals
a truly spontaneous, relaxed atmosphere that
everyone loves. Many tourists actually plan
their visits to Copenhagen to coincide with a
festival, and this year one festival literally follows another.

Copenhagen Cooking
Copenhagen is also the proud presenter of the annual
Nordic Food and Drink Festival, Copenhagen Cooking.
The week-long festival of mouth watering gastronomic experiences from Denmark and the other Nordic
countries runs from 24 August – 3 September 2006
and invites everyone to take a bite of the city. It
takes place in restaurants, Tivoli Gardens and public spaces across the centre of Copenhagen.
Copenhagen Music Week
A brand new addition to Danish music festivals
is Copenhagen Music Week. Danish music is
reaping international success in a wide range
of genres from dance music to heavy rock,
and this great diversity is also reflected in
the music scene of its capital, Copenhagen.
The city has a unique musical vibe, which
- over the last decade - has become internationally recognised in the music world
as a cool and stylish trendsetter. The 1st
Copenhagen Music Week will be held
in late October early November and
reaches its climax when Copenhagen
hosts MTV Music Awards 2006.
Throughout the week, events will
take place in concert halls, clubs,
public spaces and other Copenhagen venues.

Anything goes in the capital of Holland – well almost, as the
traveller can see for himself by walking along the canals,
moseying around the narrow lanes with their specialty shops
or settling down in one of the countless cafés as a prelude
to viewing Van Gogh’s and Rembrandt’s paintings.

The apple cider at Villa Zeezicht in 7, Torensteeg is truly exceptional. The view of the
houseboats at the Singel canal and the hustle
and bustle of the morning outside the large
glass windows are not bad at all, either at this
café, a students´ haunt situated but a stone’s
throw from one of Amsterdam’s university
affiliates.
Young, pretty girls, cheeks flushed, deep in
conversation and just as handsome young
men intense behind their portable computer
screens or open newspapers – they all blend
in with the interior of the café. The furniture
mostly resembles leftovers from a junk room
and the style is hard to define. But the main
thing is that it is a comfortable place to be.
So nice indeed, that this local haunt becomes

Café Zeezicht is extremely convenient, especially if you are in a mood to be a bit daring and
book yourself in at Hotel Brouwer at 83 Singel. But let the writer be frank from the outset;
the historic hotel boasts neither four nor five

a bad way to spend ones time!
Take for instance the day of arrival, where temperatures on the Danish latitude read below
zero in double digits at Copenhagen Airport.
After a modest trip southward landing in
Schiphol and an easy train ride into Central
Station, one was delighted to detect several
of Amsterdam’s 739.000+ inhabitants sitting
- still wearing their jackets, grant you - outside
on benches and garden chairs, shading their
eyes. As is the case on Leidseplein, the object

notice in this part of the
world. Afterwards the
way goes in the direction of Overtoom, where
several restaurants beg
a return visit, towards
hotel De Filosoof in
Anna Vondelstraat.
It can be highly recommended to reside in this refuge from the
Metropolis, especially if you arrive on a spring
day. Breakfast in the courtyard, sheltered from
the noise of the city, followed by a run in Vondelpart, where everything springs into bloom
weeks earlier than in Denmark, is a good start
to a new day. And while you are here, it would
be a pity to miss out on a visit to the film museum in the corner of the park. In a delightful
pavilion, you can browse though the history of
movies and see narrow but priceless reels of
film in either of the two old cinema halls. One
is decorated in 18th century style and the other
is fitted with furniture from Amsterdam’s old-

VAN GOGH IN A NEW, GREEN SANCTUARY
If you arrive on a mild day, there might be
a seat with a view up on the balcony, otherwise you have to go down and sit in Café Vertigo. But hurry, dear reader, for –due to lack
of space- this glorious event will be moved
north of the harbour in 2008. Not far from
Leidseplein and an even shorter distance from
the film museum lie the recently landscaped
Museumsplein. A green sanctuary situated by
the Van Gogh museum and the pompously
built Rijksmuseum. The concept of the much
disputed area which formerly hosted masses
of tourist busses is, incidentally, the work of a
Danish professor.
The sun has long since set and after just a few
minutes in the biting wind, it is time for a visit
to Vincent van Gogh, who, when he was alive,
was a poor and despised artist who hardly
had enough to keep body and soul together.
Mentally he was frail, this man, who several
times was admitted for treatment of his mental suffering. At Christmas 1988, he broke
up an otherwise excellent teamwork with his
college Gauguin, following a major argument
after which a highly emotional van Gogh cut

What Algarve may lack in sights the province
definitely makes up for with its white sandy
beaches, idyllic fishing villages and 3000 hours

Algarve the ideal destination if you’re a lover
of windsurfing, tennis or golf, and the south

The Algarve is a beautiful province approximately
100 miles long and 30 miles wide along the
coast of Portugal. Although the average population of the province is around 350,000, this often
rises to more than a million during the peak
tourist season during the summer. With more
than 100 beaches, Algarve is a popular tourist
site, often compared to America’s California.

1400 “brown” cafés or take a walk through the
infamous red light district. Whatever you do,
Amsterdam will keep you longing for more...

CITY OF GODS
Athens is an ancient city rich in history, culture
and experiences, and when you stand in front of
the massive marble columns of the Parthenon,
you get a real sense of the legacy of Hellas and
the cradle of civilisation.
The development of the vibrant city we know
today began in 1834, when Athens was declared
capital of the kingdom of Greece. Its status
as capital resulted in several periods of rapid
development, and today Athens is a very modern
city, which seamlessly blends the old worlds of
renowned heroes, powerful gods, and thriving
marketplaces with the new world of concrete
sidewalks and large buildings. One of the most
distinctive alterations that took place in connection with the 2004 Olympics for instance, was
the establishment of a new pedestrian zone in
the area around the Acropolis, which now allows
visitors to easily walk from the temple of Zeus to
the old quarter of Plaka – once the place where
Socrates and Plato debated democracy; today a
pleasant area of small restaurants, tavernas and
bars.

THE HEART OF CATALONIA
Since Barcelona was founded over 2000 years
ago the city has pursued its vocation as a great
Mediterranean metropolis. With its privileged
location on the Iberian Peninsula, between the
sea and the mountains, it is the cultural and
administrative capital of Catalonia and the traditional gateway to Spain.
Barcelona’s mild climate throughout the year is
an invitation to experience the city to the full,
both by day and by night. Strolling through the
captivating, lively streets, you can sense the
hospitality and friendliness of its inhabitants, and
the best place to get to know Barcelona of today
is undoubtedly La Rambla – a colourful, bustling
avenue that begins beside the sea at the Mirador de Colom and stretches all the way to the
Placa de Catalunya. Considered as the lively and
dynamic heart of the city, it is essential to experience this force of life from start to finish. Street
musicians, opera singers, mime artists, painters,
flower stalls, bird sellers, the boqueria market
and the countless shops and friendly cafés make
up a unique and unforgettable walk.

3.5 million inhabitants and several million more
tourists every year can’t be wrong – Berlin is
the place to be. For many years, the Berlin Wall
dividing East and West Berlin and Germany,
was the symbol of the tragedies experienced
during and after World War II, but nowadays the
city has once again become a vibrant financial

country. When visiting Berlin, the boulevard of
Kurfürstendamm is a good place to start with
several department stores and numerable shops
with well-known brands within walking distance.
Close by you’ll also find the beautiful Gedächtniskirche, which stands as a monument to the
extensive destruction that Berlin experienced
during the war. To get the grand perspective on
the city venture up the 369 metre tall Fernsehturm (television tower) to the restaurant at a

THE JACUZZI CAPITAL OF EUROPE
This magnificent metropolis has everything the

to beautiful natural surroundings. Budapest is
divided by the River Danube, splitting the city
into two very different parts - Buda and Pest
– linked by seven beautiful bridges. Buda offers

while in Pest, you’ll experience a colossal city
with broad boulevards, cafés, bars, restaurants,

Conquest by the Ottoman Empire in the 15th
century left clear traces in the city’s architecture
and culture, which is why Budapest can boast
some of the world’s finest Turkish baths and
spas, ensuring that Budapest fully deserves its
title of the ‘Jacuzzi capital’ of Europe.

ISLAND OF MYTHS
Located between three of the five continents,
Crete was looked upon by the ancients as the
centre of the world. Nowadays we may have
revises that theory a bit, but Crete is still one of
the most fascinating islands in the Mediterranean Sea, with a host of treasures from Greece’s
cultural history as well as a parade of seaside
enjoyments to cater to those of us more inclined
to take part in physical activities rather than
archaeological endeavours. A very special experience awaits the adventurous traveller dedicating
a day to hiking through the 18-kilometre-long
Samaria Gorge. Europe’s largest gorge, the
Samaria is a nature reserve with plant species
unique anywhere in the world. The hike may
prove a trying experience, but if you tough it out
you will be rewarded with a well-earned dip in
the Libyan Sea at the end.
The imposing 4000-year-old palace of Knossos is without a doubt one of the island’s most
captivating sights with impressive architecture,
fantastic murals and beautiful mosaics to captivate your heart. Walking about in the ruins at
Knossos, you can almost feel how ancient history
fades into the myths that are also intrinsic to
CRETE
this place: the legend of the Minotaur in the Labyrinth as well as King Minos and the young Daidalos,
who defeated the monster and won the young
princess Ariadne. Indeed, both Crete and Knossos are
haunted by the whispers of ancient gods and heroes.

Frankfurt is known as Germany’s financial power
centre and a major venue for international trade
fairs and other business events. Taking a stroll
through the city streets you’ll soon see first hand
what kind of an impact Frankfurt’s financial district has on the city’s skyline, with no less than

But of course the city has plenty more to offer
than just skyscrapers, dark suits and time managers. If you are a lover of cultural sightseeing,
Frankfurt has many museums and galleries to
visit, like the Städelsches Kunstinstitut and the
Städtische Galerie, which features many famous
names in its collections, such as Monet, Picasso,
Rubens, Renoir and Rembrandt to name but a
few.
Outside the city you’ll find the Taunus Mountains - with their widespread forests and numerous hot springs – more beautiful than even
Goethe, Frankfurt’s famous son, ever could have

THE PEARL OF TUSCANY
Called the cradle of the Renaissance, Florence
owes much of her wealth to the Middle Ages,
where the city helped shape the minds of such
artistic and intellectual geniuses as Leonardo
da Vinci, Donatello, Michelangelo, Dante and
Machiavelli. Of course, a city which has housed
such distinguished artistic citizens naturally has
a museum where their works can be seen, and in
the case of Florence this treasure chest of creative excellence can be found at the Uffizi Gallery,
which ranks as high in the world of art as the
Louvre in Paris and the Prado in Madrid.
A trip to Florence will open up a world of sights,
such as the church of San Lorenzo, the basilica of
Santa Groce, the Bargello National Museum and
Florence’s old and picturesque bridge, Ponte Vecchio, which is a definite must. To get a real sense
of life in Florence, you’ll also have to visit one of
the city’s many markets. Take a trip to Mercato
Central, for example - Europe’s largest food
market - sample the Italian specialities, and bring
some bread, salami, cheeses and wine in your
backpack to enjoy in one of Florence’s beautiful
parks or squares.

WHITE CITY OF THE NORTH
Helsinki is sometimes called the “white city of
the north” – more on account of the city’s many
beautiful buildings than the snowy disposition
of Finland’s climate. Built on the peninsulas and
islands of the Baltic shoreline, Helsinki is a city
shaped by the sea. Streets curve around bays,
bridges arch between islands, and ferries carry
traffic to islands farther offshore. The smell of
the sea hovers over the city, and there is a constant bustle in the harbours as the ships in the
Baltic drop and lift anchor.
Many exciting sights await you when you visit
Helsinki. Senate Square, with its neo-classical
architecture, is the heart of the city, and this
is also where you’ll find the cathedral - the
best-known and most photographed building in
Helsinki.
Besides Helsinki’s many sights, its innumerable
cosy cafés and good restaurants are also waiting for you, where you can sample a traditional
Russian dinner of caviar and vodka, or a Finnish
national dish such as reindeer or elk.

A DELIGHT TO THE EYE
Like a precious hidden gem Lisbon lies idyllically
tucked away at the very outskirts of Western
Europe. A city set on seven hills, Lisbon has a
superb natural setting sitting along the banks
of the River Tagus and the Atlantic Ocean. It is
from this setting, the city has taken its traditional
charms - pastel-coloured buildings with washing lines strung between them, marble-covered
squares, trams from the turn of the 20th century
and a bustling street life - and moulded them
into a very attractive place to visit for either a
short stay or a longer exploration. Twenty-first
century Lisbon is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and creative city that has managed to successfully marry
the historic with the modern, the traditional with
the cutting edge and today stands as a shimmering zone between the past and the present.

VERY MUCH ALIVE AND SWINGING
The pulsating British capital is one of the world’s
great cities where close to 300 different
languages are spoken and this melting pot of
cultural diversity becomes very evident wherever
you go around the streets of London’s 33
boroughs. Bars, restaurants and high street shops
portrait a charming mix between traditional
British mainstays and more exotic features from
practically every corner of the Commonwealth.
The saying goes that when you visit London
the first time you come for the history and
legendary royal pageantry, but when you return
– which you inevitably will at some point – you
come to enjoy all the charms of modern London,
not least the bustling nightlife, restaurant and
fashion scenes, film, music and world-class art
galleries and theatres.

A SUNNY DISPOSITION
‘Vivir a tope’ - live life to the full - is
the motto of Madrid, and the local
pace of life, humour and enthusiasm
is definitely an experience in itself.
Embark on a voyage of discovery
in the Mediterranean climes, and
experience samples of the entire
repertoire of Spanish culture at its
best. Be enchanted by the expressive
dance, music and song of a flamenco
performance, gain insight into the art
of bullfighting at the famous “Plaza
de Toros de Las Ventas” and venture
out into the infamous Madrilenian
nightlife to get a taste of Spain’s
proud national dish, the Paella.
With 2,800 hours of annual sunshine,
the grand boulevards of Madrid are
bustling centres of public display
during any season, and in the busy
spring and summer months you particularly get the feeling that you are
watching a flowing sea of animated
colours and movement, when looking at the packed outdoor cafes and
tapas bars that line both sides of the
Calle Major.
In Madrid you will experience
warmth, hospitality and, in particular, a festive atmosphere, and any
visitor to the Spanish capital will get
caught up in this unique energy that
is Madrid.

Montpellier is the capital of Mediterranean (or
Lower) Languedoc known as Hérault region. It
is an ancient university city still renowned for
its medical school, founded in the 13th century.
The town of Montpellier itself is a fascinating
combination of the old and the new – the historical buildings and neighbourhoods have been
carefully restored, and there are plenty of sights
to be seen and experiences to be had on walks
around town. For instance you can take a stroll
from the Place de la Comédie to Rue de la Loge
(pedestrian area) and Rue Foch, impressive with
its splendid 19th century buildings, to reach the
Promenade du Peyrou, an beautiful, elevated
park on two levels, dating back to the 17th and
18th centuries.
Take a coffee break at one of the many cafés,
enjoy the beautiful and child-friendly sandy

CITY OF PARADISE
Immortalised as the “City of Paradise” by the
Nobel Prize winner Aleixandre, Malaga has
become an important tourist centre, an international meeting place and the economical capital
of Andalusia.
Malaga is the perfect location to enjoy life. The
town is known as the gateway to the Costa del
Sol – and with beautiful beaches, a sea perfect
for waterskiing and windsurfing, and 300 days of
sunshine per year, it is definitely one of Europe’s
favourite holiday destinations. The relaxed
Mediterranean atmosphere has attracted many
foreigners for nearly half a decade. And who can
blame them?
The city is famous for its unfinished cathedral,
Alcazaba, the fortress Gibralfaro, its beautiful
gardens and many other sights, not least in the
old historical district, which is clearly marked by
800 years of Arab rule. And after a long day of
sightseeing and sunbathing Malaga’s many bars
and restaurants provide plenty of opportunities
to meet the gregarious and extroverted locals.
TRANSPORTATION
Travelling by bus is the easiest way to get around
Malaga. The buses are timely, efficient, and inexpensive (tickets cost 0.85 R). Taxis are available

PILGRIMS AND PIAZZAS
If you take the many pilgrimages and barbaric
invasions into account, you could very well argue
that Rome is probably the most visited city on
the planet seen throughout the history of the
world! Or at the very least the most mentioned.
The foundation of Rome dates back 3000 years
and this is indeed a city where you feel the
touch of days gone by. Almost anywhere you
turn, you will meet buildings and monuments
steeped in history. But Rome is so much more
than “just” thousand of year old granite slaps
and historic reminisces. A holiday in Rome also
gives you a chance to experience the Latin temperament first hand – in the glances between
people, in the intense traffic, and at the pavement cafés, such as those around Piazza Navona,
where Italian businessmen, infatuated lovers and
tourists alike gather to relax and enjoy life.
ROME CIAMPINO AIRPORT
www.adr.it
ROME
FROM THE AIRPORT
Throughout most of the day, buses leave the Arrival terminal every half hour. You can either choose
to take a bus into the city or stop at the Subway
station and continue your journey by train the rest
of the way into Rome (a return bus ticket costs
approx. 13 E). When it comes to the business of
getting around by taxi you need to make sure that
the taxi you are about to get into is authorized
and has a meter system. Otherwise you might
end up paying far more you bargained for.
TRANSPORTATION
The best way to get around Rome is to strap on
your best walking shoes and do the sightseeing by foot. Many of the major attractions are
situated in close proximity of each other and
therefore there’s no point in riding a bus or the
subway to get to your next destination. A bus
ride in Rome will cost 0.75 E or you can purchase a special pass that lets the holder ride the
ATAC network of buses and subways for
3 E a day or 12 E per week. These passes can
be purchased at the main train station, Stazione
Termini.

LOOKING FOR ROMANCE?
Become enchanted by a city that will take you
back to a time of masked balls, stormy love affairs
and romance. Venice is a unique and peaceful slice of heaven, with its labyrinthine streets,
impressive buildings and the many canals linked
by more than 400 small bridges. It is a world free
of traffic jams, road junctions, noise or air pollution, and everyone, including the postmen and
the police, walk or go by boat along the canals, as
no road vehicles are permitted in the city.
Visitors have been making the pilgrimage to Venice for 1,500 years. And the history is very much
alive as it is easy to slip back through the centuries, to the time of the Doges - the omnipotent
rulers, whose influence spread well beyond the
Venetian Lagoon. Venice under the Doges was
a land of unimaginable wealth and riches that
were spent wisely in crafting some of Europe’s
most memorable buildings, from the imposing
Doges’ Palace itself through to the grand architecture of St Mark’s Square - the religious and
political centre of the Venetians for centuries.

TRAVEL TO AND IN VENICE
DEPARTURES TO VENICE
WITH STERLING FROM:
Copenhagen.
FROM THE AIRPORT
The most interesting way to arrive in Venice
(weather permitting) is by motorboat (motoscafo). The ride takes a little longer than by bus, but
the approach to St Mark’s Square from the water
is one that few will forget. Cost: 10 R.
ATVO airbus departs every 20-40 minutes and has
a journey time of 20 minutes. Tickets cost 3 R.
TRANSPORTATION
All road vehicles are banned from the city of
Venice and therefore alternative means of transportation become the order of the day. Walking
in the most obvious and inexpensive option,
but can sometimes turn out to be a somewhat
difficult endeavour when trotting across humpbacked bridges and lots of puddles.
Instead, why not make good use of Venice’s
streets of water and jump on a waterbus. Tickets
are valid for 90 minutes and ones that include
travelling on the Grand Canal cost 5 R.

Fun with Dick and Jane
In Columbia Pictures' larcenous romantic comedy Fun With Dick And Jane, Dick (Jim Carrey)
and Jane (Tea Leoni) are in love and living the
American dream - until one day it becomes and
American nightmare. When the company Dick
works for becomes involved in an Enron-like
scandal and he is confronted with the prospect
of losing everything, Dick and Jane are forced to
bag, borrow and steal to get it all back.
