Paris Paris Paris ... ı love paris,very fun casual nightlife in paris.

For most tourists, Paris days are spent visiting museums and snapping photos of monuments. But what about Paris nights? After dining at your nearest brasserie, check out these local haunts in the best neighborhoods for casual nightlife.

Along the canal

In the summer months all the bars along the Canal St. Martin and the Bassin de la Villette put out tables and chairs along the “terrasses” so customers can sit outside and look out over the water. It’s a great place to spend a warm evening or a lazy afternoon.

Bar Ourcq (68 Quai Loire) offers Cheapo-friendly drinks – €2.50 for a half-pint of beer – and the added bonus of self entertainment. Borrow a board game like Scrabble or Connect 4 from the shelf inside, or try your hand at Pétanque, a traditional French game similar to Bocce. Sets of balls are available to the left of the bar.

Underground at Odeon

With two movie theaters and plenty of bars to choose from, the area about Metro Odeon is buzzing with students on the weekends. You could try one of the trendier places, like Café Jade (10 Rue Buci) where cocktails can run as high as €15.

For the Cheapo option, however, head for Le 10 Bar, a divey sangria joint located at 10 Rue de l’Odeon. Regulars know to order pitchers of sangria by the person (“sangria pour quatre, s’il vous plait”), which comes out to about €3 each. Be sure to check out the bar downstairs too, but be careful on the steep, windy steps.

Follow the French in the Marais

The Marais covers such a broad area it’s hard to know where to go.

For some reason, trendy Parisians flock to La Perle (78 Rue Vieille du Temple) every night of the week. There are no happy hour specials and the atmosphere is not much different from most of the other bars in the neighborhood, so it’s hard to say exactly what the draw is. It must be just a French thing. To enjoy La Perle on the Cheapo, order a “bouteille” of wine for €9.

Venice is a beautiful city and ı must go to venice.

History of Venice’s Jewish Ghetto

This site was the first Jewish ghetto in the world and was created in 1516, after the authorities of Venice decided that all Jewish people living in Venice (mainly on the island of the Giudecca) had to move to a confined area and could not hold any job apart from those indicated by the Republic of Venice. Among the jobs that Jewish people were allowed to do were money-lending and mercantilism.

At night the gates of the Ghetto would be closed and nobody could go in or out of it. Armed guards on a boat would patrol the surrounding canals.

Getting there

The Jewish Ghetto is located just off Ponte delle Guglie in Cannaregio, at the beginning of the Strada Nuova. As you get off the bridge, turn immediately left and then immediately right under the arch that reads “Sotoportego del Ghetto Vecchio.” This was the former gate.

Summer 2010 music, dance and film festivals in barcelona.. ı love barcelona and ı love summer 2010 music, ı love dance ((:

June 11, 2010. I recently read that out of 36 countries examined by Manpower Inc. for hiring expectations, only four have a negative employment outlook. Those were (can you guess?) Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain.

This bad news is reflected in the large cuts in the public sector in Spain. June was rife with protests held by civil servants upset over pay cuts to come in July. Times are hard for the Spanish, and one could say that this is no time for a party, no time for a holiday.

Then again, maybe just now, when things are looking grim and the economy is swan diving into the Mediterranean, is precisely the time to celebrate. Why host a pity party, when the sun is shining, the sea is warm, the tomatoes are ripe and summer is here?

I think in many ways, that this attitude is the right one to have. After all, what better cure for the unemployment blues (over 4 million unemployed) than a concert on a cobblestone plaza or a picnic at the free outdoor theater?

For summer 2010, join in the fun at some of these free (or inexpensive) festivals and parties held in Barcelona. Here’s the summer “anti-crisis” scoop:

Best "Super Cheapo": The Hotel Tiquetonne in Paris

June 15, 2010. Here at EuroCheapo, we’re obviously big fans of budget hotels. But we’re even bigger fans of budget hotels with that “special something.”

In our 29 city guides, you’ll find more than 1,200 reviews of budget-friendly hotels, each one inspected and photographed by one of our editors. Some are listed simply because they’re cheap and clean. Others, however, boast something else. They might be blessed with an incredible location. Or perhaps they have a surprising theme or impressive style.

These hotels offer travelers something unique and yet they still manage to be affordable. We believe they deserve a little special attention.

Choosing the “Cheapo 100”

Thus, this year we created the “Cheapo 100,” a ranking of our five favorite properties in 20 cities. In each city, we chose one winning hotel for the following five categories: “Super Cheapo,” Best Location, Most Unique, Best Budget Style, and Best B&B or Guesthouse.

Selecting the winning hotels was not easy and resulted in lively debate here at EuroCheapo headquarters. In certain circumstances, we had three or four great contenders for one award.

And then there was the question of preference. After all, how do you define the “best location” in a city like Paris? Is it facing Notre Dame (Hotel Esmeralda) or steps from the Place des Vosges (Hotel Jeanne d’Arc)? Or maybe it’s a block from Sacre Coeur (Ermitage Sacre Coeur)? Oh, wait – what about next to the Eiffel Tower (Eber Mars)?

You might say we suffered an embarrassment of Cheapos. But fear not, all hotels will have another shot for next year’s awards.

Without further ado, EuroCheapo proudly presents the 2010 “Cheapo 100”:

A great bar with a single word ,great drinks ((: I suggest you go

By Sarah Silbert—

Seville is known for its rich tradition of flamenco dancing, and there are plenty of flamenco bars to prove it.

Not feeling in the groove? No worries: The city has plenty of other nightlife options as well. From international bars to dives serving beer for €1, Seville’s after-hours scene has something for every Cheapo.

For a local scene: El Tremendo Cervecería
C/ Previsión, 10
Tel: + 34 954 358 952
Hours: Open daily from 12 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Web site

A popular cervecería in the Santa Catalina district, El Tremendo is popular among locals for its social atmosphere and its seriously cheap beer. A beer will set you back a mere €.90, and the lack of tables means you’ll get to mingle with the locals outside. Other than some chips and nuts, El Tremendo has little in the way of food.

The best of the cafes in Madris is Lolina Vintage... I went and had an excellent

By Cynthia Kane in Madrid.

Madrid offers lots for the budget-conscious traveler: inexpensive restaurants, live music, art, and cultural activities. Don’t forget to add to this list absolutely free Wi-Fi!

In many cafés around town, you’ll find free Wi-Fi connections and in some places you can even plug in your computer. Here are some of my favorite spots to find free Internet in some of Madrid’s most popular neighborhoods.

Malasaña

The neighborhood of Malasaña has plenty of cafes, but the best place to go to spend time on the Internet is definitely Lolina (Calle del Espíritu Santo, 9). Plugged as a “vintage café,” the establishment is filled with 50s-style furnishings and they play a great selection of upbeat tunes. You can spend the entire day here surfing the Internet for free.

On the menu: coffee, beer, wine and a selection of salads, and tostadas. The upstairs tends to get crowded, but there’s also a downstairs. Also a plus, the staff is incredibly friendly.

Moncloa

Bacchus (Calle Donoso Cortes, 58 ) is well-known in Madrid for bringing expats and Spaniards together. It’s an English language bookstore and bar. Besides having language exchange nights and other themed evenings, the establishment offers free Internet. So if you’re longing for computer time and English conversation, it’s a great stop.

Lavapiés

Most people head to Lavapiés for all kinds of ethnic foods, especially Middle Eastern cuisine. This neighborhood also boasts some great little cafes where you can browse the Internet for free.

A favorite is Librería Café La Fugitiva (Calle de Santa Isabel 7). Although from the outside it may look like a bookstore, there are a handful of tables inside and plenty of outlets to hook up the good ol’ computer. You can buy a coffee and a sweet treat to munch while you surf. The shelves are packed with Spanish poetry, essay, film theory, fiction, non fiction, and they even have a children’s section.

Chueca

Next to tapas bars and restaurants in the boisterous neighborhood of Chueca, you’ll find the trendy Isoleé (Calle de las Infantas, 19). The establishment has a triple identity, offering (according to its Website) “fashion, food, and lifestyle.” The minimalist interior with white chairs and black tables is definitely a hot spot for any well-dressed hipster (especially if you own a Mac).

Conde Duque

El Café sin Nombre (Conde Duque, 10) is by far one of the quietest, most spacious, and most relaxed places to spend the day on your computer. Six years ago the café didn’t even have a sign out front (perhaps a play on its name, which translates to ”café without a name” in English), which could explain why many people don’t know it exists. However, this café is a perfect place if you’re looking for a tranquil atmosphere to get some work done.
