Tivoli – A World of Entertainment

The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, is where all the important decisions of the country are made as it is home to the monarchy, parliament and the government. It has become a busy tourist destination because of its many historical attractions such as the National Museum of Denmark, Rosenborg Castle, the Copenhagen Opera House, the Amalienborg Palace, the Little Mermaid Statue and Tivoli. What makes Tivoli Gardens so unique is that it is not only an amusement park but a historical landmark.

Budapest-Bamako Rally – An Adventure Across Borders

It is expected that between 100 and 120 teams will take on the challenge of the 3rd Budapest-Bamako Rally in January 2008. Unlike other rallies - such as the Paris to Dakar rally, which mainly attracts well-financed professional racers - the Budapest-Bamako rally has been created to give “amateur” adventurers the thrill of experiencing a Europe to Africa rally at a reasonable cost. Participants are advised that motorbikes and 4x4 vehicles are most suited to rally conditions, but there are few official restrictions and virtually anything on wheels can join in this road trip of a lifetime.

Fantastic International Wines at Expovina

Switzerland, and more specifically, Valais, is known for producing some of the world’s finest wines. Over and above being home to breathtaking mountain peaks, this region is home to approximately twenty-two thousand vineyards. A great variety of grapes are grown here, with Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chasselas being the more popular. Some of the fine wines that are produced in the Valais region include Dôle, Fendant, Cornalin, Muscat, Humagne Rouge, Amigne and many more. It is therefore fitting that the Expovina wine tasting festival is held in Switzerland.
