Describing briefly the idyllic centre of Bordeaux, we can only say that it’s 18th-century full of charm architecture has not escaped the protective wing of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Among the most important architectural objectives are the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Andrew and the magnificent Place de la Bourse, somehow difficult and impossible to escape your gaze. And because we were saying something about wine and pampering in the same sentence, choose at least one of the days to enjoy a refined dinner, at one of the restaurants or wine bars lining the cobbled streets of Bordeaux.

Crete, Greece

However, everywhere you look at it, you can’t bring too many reproaches to Greece when it comes to discussing vacations and holidays. The problem, when you think of such pampering tourism, which abounds nonetheless in islands, beaches, nature, culture and all the silence, is always: “And to what corner of Greece should I go?”. We tipped the balance in favour of the largest island – Crete. Once the temptation of staying for hours at the seashore is removed, you still have time to research the history of the place, the Archeology Museum, Knossos Palace, the Venetian walls and a visit to the city of Rethimno, about 70 and a few kilometres from Heraklion.

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh is famous for many things, and the markets (loaded with about 3,000 stands, a number that not even the largest European Christmas markets can boast of), the bargaining culture and motorcycles will catch your attention. It is estimated that 8.4 million souls live within the city limits along with the 7.4 million motorcycles that belong to them.

And if February brings you here on vacation, you need to attend the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, an event that promotes Texas traditions and agriculture receiving no less than 2 million visitors a year.

The Hemisfair Fair, with its Tower of the Americas, is an urban park that should not escape any traveller’s eyes. The representations given by mariachi and the Spanish-themed festivals bring outstands with dishes and clothes to marvel at, but which reminds you tirelessly that you are at a jog on the Mexican border.
