Dinkelsbuhl is located east of the A7 autobahn, 230 km from Frankfurt, 235 km from Munich, and 100 km from Nuremberg. Population of Dinkelsbuhl: Dinkelsbuhl has 11,600 people. Its moderate size makes it easy to get to and get around in. You can drive your car into the old town to unload your suitacases, but you may have to park outside the gates if your hotel doesn't have a parking lot. Shopping in Dinkelsbuhl: Dinkelsbuhl has lots of shops and artist's studios to occupy the shopper. Shops to look for: Greifen (arts and crafts), Töpferei am Tor (handmade pottery), Kunststuben Appelberg (art), and Holzschnitzerei Buckl (wood carving and nativity figures). If you like ceramics, you can stay in a hotel associated with local ceramics manufacture: Dinkelsbühler Keramik . A list of studios and contact info is found here .

For more on tours see Dinkelsbuehl's Official Page . Dinkelsbuhl Attractions - Things to See and Do in Dinkelsbuhl: A walk around Dinkelsbuhl in early evening is a pleasure. Dinkelsbuhl is far less touristy than Rothenburg, despite the numerous restaurants and hotels, and just about any street will take you past evocative half-timbered houses and shops. A walk outside the intact walls is also interesting--take the marked trail "Alte Promenade." Dinkelsbuhl's old town is one of the best along the romantic road. Saintgeogskirche (St. George's Church) , a late-gothic church on the Marktplatz. See the "pretzel window" donated by the Baker's Guild. Climb the Romanesque tower (which remains from an earlier church) for the views of Dinkelsbuhl. Spitalanlage (old hospital complex) now includes the historical museum, concert hall, and gallery of art. Stadtmühle , a large, military fortified mill that now houses the Museum of the 3rd Dimension, hands-on displays featuring fascinating three-dimensional effects. Dinkelsbuhl also sponsors Sunday concerts in the Town Park from May-September, often with overseas youth bands. Live jazz can be heard at the Jazzkeller. The former grain market, built in 1508 and originally used as a barn to store grains, is now the youth hostel. (See Dinkelsbuhl Lodging for info.)

See Online Courses Search Europe for Visitors Benelux and Beyond - Northern European Vacation Ideas for the Benelux Countries 5 Countries in 14 days? Why Not? If you have a short vacation and want to travel through the most varied cultural landscapes in a short time, why not consider Benilux--Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg--along with adjacent pieces of the bookend countries of France and Germany? Short distances and the availability of high speed rail connections mean that you won't spend all your time looking out a window on a moving landscape. Plus, Benelux rail 'n drive packages give you the flexibility to see it all by train and car. The Benelux countryside is flat and watery--you can bike or walk on tow paths along the many canals to observe calming rural vistas for hours. Benelux Countries - Benelux Rail Map Benelux Map © 2005 by James Martin, licensed to About Why Benelux? Benelux is compact. It's 123 miles between Brussels and Amsterdam, 184 miles between Paris and Brussels--and both of these destinations are served by high speed rail that'll speed you between Paris and Brussels in one hour and 25 minutes. Folks in Benelux countries are quite likely to speak English , since the local languages are confined to a relatively small goegraphic area. Benelux hospitality is legendary --you might want to consider a farm stay while you're there--especially if you have kids--to test the friendliness of the natives and get a feeling for what it's like (more below). Variety - and France and Germany are just across the border. Not only do you have three countries to visit, all within an hour or so travel time between each other, center to center, but France and Germany are easily visited as well. Lille, just across the border in France, was a European capital of Culture for 2004, and it's a major rail hub for high speed trains. Koln (Cologne) and its famous cathedral are also close, and the landscape around Trier--a colonial capital under Roman Emperor Augustus in 16 BC and Germany’s oldest city--is beautiful, and the city isa good starting point for trips into theMosel Valley and cruises on the scenic Mosel River, Germany’s mainwine-producing region--just in case you get tired of the almost infinite varietyof Beer styles you find in Belgium that is. Getting to the Benelux Countries You'll probably start your vacation from a large city. Major airports usually offer the best fares from the US, so you'll probably be starting from Paris, Frankfurt, or Amsterdam. If you find a good fare to London (or wish to add that city to your visit), you can take the Eurostar from London to either Paris or Lille, and continue your Benelux vacation from there. Getting Around the Benelux Countries While rail is highly recommended, and trains can get to most cities in the Benelux countries, you might want to also view a little of the countryside. Rail 'n Drive passes make this easy. Plan Your Benelux Adventure Transportation Rail Passes (Including Rail 'n Drive Passes) for Benelux, France and Germany. Thalys - High Speed Train Information - The thick blue line on the map is the Thalys route. Eurostar - All About the Eurostar - London to Lille, Paris, and Brussels. If your end point is Brussels, you'll get a free pass to any other stop in Belgium, just in case you wish to avoid Brussels altogether. Destinations in or Accessable from Benelux Lille, France Reims and the Champagne Region of France Belgium: Belgium Guide | Belgium Map | Belgium Pictures Netherlands: NetherlandsGuide | NetherlandsMap | Amsterdam Guide Luxembourg: Luxembourg Guide Cologne, Germany Dusseldorf Germany Frankfurt, Germany Trier, Germany Farm Stays in Belgium Many "farm" stays don't set you down in a real, working farm. I've found the Spreeuwenburg farm in a perfect location in the Belgian countryside not so far from the Netherlands border and nearby to the justly famous old smuggler house turned into a restaurant bar, Roste Muis. Read more: A Pleasant and Inexpensive Farm stay in Belgium . Benelux - The Final Word I hope you'll check out the Benelux countries. The major cities are interesting and chock full of art from old masters. Belgium cuisine is considered one of the best in Europe, and the beer is outstanding as well. Amsterdam is an amazing city, and if you want to visit a city that's mostly ignored by tourists, look into Antwerp, Belgium. Peter Paul Ruben's house makes an outstanding visit--and even Antwerp's main train station is worthy of the label "Railway Cathedral." From James Martin , Your Guide to Europe for Visitors .

Contact us Discount Airfare > Mexico Flights & Travel M exico Flights & Travel Info Mexico offers such an immense and varied array of travel destinations and attractions that you could literally spend years exploring the country and not see and do everything. The obvious advantage is that it's just a short flight away. Mexico is an enormous country, covering almost two million square kilometers of land, and is bordered by the United States to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to the east, and Guatemala and Belize to the south. A high plateau dominates much of the Mexican landscape. The plateau is bordered in the east and west by the two parallel ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which are extensions of the Rocky and Wasatch mountain ranges in the United States. The Sierra Nevadas give way to long coastal plains that extend to the coasts flanking either side of Mexico. The country's main geographic areas are divided into dozens of different ecosystems, including vast forests and desserts, which are home to an eclectic mix of flora and fauna. Mexican Culture Three main ethnic groups comprise Mexico 's population: Mestizos, Whites of European descent, and Indigenous - some 50 different indigenous groups, including Mayas, Aztecs, and Toltecas, make up close to 10% of the population. On account of centuries of coexistence by all of these different peoples, Mexican culture enjoys both a rich and complex mix of traditions.

Around Italy The Northern part of Italy is generally more prosperous, and most Italians associate themselves with their particular region. Some of those around Lombardia even want a federal republic of Padania, independent from Rome and the rest of Italy. Welcome to Italy : As stylish as the passagio on a Sunday. Stroll through the site by itinerary, region, or province. (In English, Italian, German, and Japanese).

Parmesan Cheese : The world's favourite cheese to top spaghetti comes from Parmigiano-Reggiano; a true aristocrat among cheeses. And doctors claim it's good for you. Italian Tourism : Regional listings for Italian tourist boards; mostly just an address and telephone number.
