Libraries are a special interest to many tourists visiting big European cities like Amsterdam. The term ‘public library’ is common in many countries. It usually denotes one big library, but that’s not the case in Amsterdam! The Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam, Oosterdokskade 143 (or in English: Public Library Amsterdam) is not just one library, it is rather a collective name for many public libraries in Amsterdam. 28 public libraries are present in Amsterdam alone along with 43 lending points, such as in hospitals. In total, Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam has more than 1.7 million books and 165,000 members and lent out 5 million books in 2005 alone! The largest of these libraries is called the central library (not of Amsterdam!) or the Centrale Bibliotheek in Dutch. It is located east to the Amsterdam Central Station and considered the largest public library in the whole Europe. This is a place where you can read daily newspapers and publication, even on the weekends! The library is open on the 7 days of the week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Also it has a small restaurant in Amsterdam with a terrace, the thing which makes it quite a nice place to start your morning in Amsterdam. Breakfast in your Amsterdam hotel, select your coffee and your newspaper, and there you go! If you like the library books and you wish to borrow some I guess you’ll have to do some registration. However, borrowing and returning books is fully automated.

Vancouver in western Canada is named after Captain George Vancouver of the British Royal Navy. However, Captain Vancouver was not the first european to visit the area. The coasts had already been explored by the Spanish. Captain Vancouver did not spend many days there, even though he was warmly welcomed by the local people and the scenery amazed him and everyone else who was travelling with him. The scenery still amazes visitors to the city of Vancouver today. First-time visitors who are in search of breathtaking views are usually directed to a beach which is about ten minutes from the city centre. There, looking out over the sailing boats racing across the blue water, visitors see Vancouver’s towering skyline backed by the magnificient North Shores Mountains. Then they sigh and say, “It’s so beautiful that I want to stay forever!” You can’t blame them. The city is regularly picked by international travel associations as one of the world’s best tourist destinations. They are only confirming what the two million residents and eight million tourists visiting Greater Vancouver a single year already know: there is simply no other place on earth quite like it. It’s not just the gorgeous setting where mountains meet the sea that appeals to people, but also Vancouver’s wide range of sporting, cultural and entertainment facilities.

I LOVE SHOPPING like wrote in her exhilarating books Sophie Kinsella.If you also like it I’ll take you with me in a real “shopper’s Paradise”: The San Marino Republic.

Far only 5 minutes from the Coast of Romagna (Rimini for example) San Marino it’s geographically inside Italy but has his own government (but you can visit it without passport) and it’s, because of a lot of things, a very peculiar place. We first will visit San Marino’s City that’s the capital of this republic, the third and the more ancient city, that overtops all the Republic from the head of Monte Titano and is accessible through four ancient doors. We can visit the three medieval “pens” (three towers, symbol of the Republic) the Basilica where are conserved Saint Marino’s reliquies, Santa Chiara’s Monastery, the Door and the Church of Saint Francesco, “contrada Ombrelli” and the little square of Titano. At last we can go to the Public Square of the Freedom, where we’ll find the Public Palace and a terrace with an exceptional view. Anyway during our visit, how I said at first, we can also freely express our attitude to shopping in every possible way! All the paths of San Marino’s centre are interspersed by a lot of little stores full of the must incredible things: there you can find almost everything you was looking for, and something you probably would never suspect that exists: for example lighters in different shapes (cars, guns, guitars and any strange thing you can imagine). But if we have more serious exigences, and little more time at our disposition, all around the nine Castels and in all the little cities of San Marino’s Republic we’ll find Outlets, Commercial centers and many shops with interesting windows and we can buy clothes, shoes, perfumes and cosmetics, homeopathic products, electronics, musical instruments and even fuel, all that at a very low price thanks at the very reasonable fiscal condition of this Republic. Enjoy your holiday
