Various footage of Italian cities – Torino, Vernazza, Saluzzo, Italy. Italy (i /ˈɪtəli/; Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in south-central Europe. To the north it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia—the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea—and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, whilst Campione d’Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301338 km2 (116347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world. Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries the political centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire. After its decline, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Byzantines and later, the Normans, among others. Centuries later, Italy became the birthplace of the Renaissance,[7] an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought. Through much of its post-Roman history, Italy was fragmented into numerous kingdoms and city-states (such as the <b>…</b>

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Lisbon, Portugal by TravelPod blogger Yhuang82 titled "Lisbon" Yhuang82′s travel blog entry: "Things i love most about Lisbon: 1. It’s cheap!! you can easily get a full meal for 3 euros…which is good because i am on a tight budget 2. There are ice cream and pastry shops everywhere! i don’t normally eat lots of pastry…but i love looking at all the different types they have. however, i am definitely an ice cream addict! for some reason, every time i come to europe i feel the need to have ice cream/gelato/helado or whatever every single day! Anyway, you don’t really hear about people traveling to Lisbon too often, but i actually think it’s actually quite a nice place to visit. Just like any other european city, it has a lot of interesting history, awesome architecture, great museums, distinct neighborhoods, people who like to stay out til 7 am, etc. I am not sure about the portuguese food though…they are supposed to have lots of good seafood, but i was too consumed with ice cream that i didn’t get a chance to try a lot of the local food. I can’t upload pictures here, so i will have to do that another time…." Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. "View from Castelao de Sao Jorge" 2.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Bratislava, Slovakia by TravelPod blogger Cadkinsca titled "Land O’Cheap Beer and Opportunity" Cadkinsca’s travel blog entry: "I am sorry to disappoint, but Queen’s Day is the last planned festival until June 8 (the Bergkirchweih in Erlanger). The few European festivals in May were scattered and inconvenient to my Balkan rotation, which leads to here – Bratislava, the capital of the Slovak Republic, which split from the Czech Republic in 1993. It has only one quarter of the GNP of the Czechs, but Bratislava itself is one of only two regions in Eastern Europe with living standards higher than the EU average. The city itself is a salad of new and old, with a toss of Soviet leftovers thrown in for flavor. If anyone has seen "Eurotrip" (American Pie-esque but based on a road trip through Europe), Bratislava is portrayed as having row after row of apartments built in the prison style of architecture so favored by the former Eastern bloc, littered with trash, populated with ugly people with bad teeth driving Ladas, but a nickel will buy you a phenomenal meal and get you laid at a club serving Absinthe. This is only partially an exaggeration. There is an old town typical of "old towns" throughout Europe. Old buildings on narrow streets, interspersed with palaces, churches, plazas with cafes and restaurants in cellars, set on a river (the brown, not blue, Danube, downstream from Vienna), overlooked by a castle on the hill <b>…</b>

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Budapest, Hungary by TravelPod blogger Jollyjetsetter titled "Europe’s premiermost spa town, anyone?" Jollyjetsetter’s travel blog entry: "Getting to Budapest was a breeze, and part of the by-now familiar tale – budget flight out of Manchester airport, and enough research done to allow me to reach the hotel at the shoestring end of the budget scale – my sentiments entirely! The city itself, though, was a different picture, and although you still get a good run for your money in the Hungarian capital city, its wealth of tourist attractions and architectural masterpieces suggested to me that you were in the thick of a tourist spot where you’d easily expect to part with more substantial sums of money in order to enjoy the experience. The hotel Gellert is a long-established Budapest institution, and staying there in late August meant full use of its’ extensive spa facilities, both indoor and outdoor, and wandering around the city, with a pre-planned route in mind made me feel strangely appeased and simultaneously liberated. There really are too many individual attractions to reel off in one blog entry, but highlights included the eerie labyrinth in the Castle area of Varhegy, the charms of Heroes Square, and adjoining city park, and the spooky and sinister city museum, the House of Terror, which should more aptly come with an ‘enter at your peril’ tag. Here, there and everywhere were fusions of modern and traditional styles <b>…</b>

Cities – The Real Istanbul 1 of 2 – BBC Travel Documentary, recorded 10.10.2010 Istanbul is a city of constancy and contrast – at once historic and cutting-edge contemporary. It is the world’s only city to straddle two continents: the Thracian side dipping Turkey’s big toe in Europe while the rest of the city, and indeed the country, bathes luxuriously in Asia. If your time here is short and you have to choose, I’d go for the European side. This is where you’ll find the Old Town – Sultanahmet – whose treasures recall the city’s place at the centre of the Byzantine empire and as a repository of Ottoman power. It also reflects the modern, secular, republican country envisaged by the father of modern Turkey. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk – or Mustafa Kemal to give him his birth name – was a soldier, strategist, thinker, philosopher, ideologue, politician and father figure to a raft of adopted children, as well as figuratively to the entire nation. It’s hard to think of an equivalent 20th Century political figure who inspires such enduring reverence and adulation among his people, regardless of class, gender or religion. A mosque featuring in the mix that is modern-day Turkey It is Ataturk’s legacy that in modern-day Turkey, mosques and muezzin rub along harmoniously with cappuccino bars, cocktail lounges and clubs. Old matriarchs in headscarves and hijabs shove up to share tram seats with girls wearing miniskirts and make-up. The secularist Ataturk is seen by many as an early <b>…</b>
