The other day I am dreaming about a little holiday in October. I stay in my track list until the number only by Turkey, so I want to add to it any European country. As you know, just dream - great, but we need to somehow move to the goal, or at least be in her direction. For a start, I'm pumped to a whole slew of iPhone applications to search for flights and hotels, as well as guides to Europe to decide on the country and calculate the approximate travel budget.
The iPhone hit those applications, which we have already written on Layfhakere, but turned out to be among them and "newcomer", for which we have so far had no view. And it's great, because I'm happy to talk about it today.
The application is called "Cult Guides-tourist". The icon - pin funny hat and pince-nez, which resembles a popular meme. And inside - a treasure for the traveler 450 towns and 7000 sites.
Once the main thing - the information is available in online and offline mode: Download maps to your phone to enjoy the journey, not marred by convulsive search for Wi-Fi network.
More bonus - see "Overview" for some of the cities listed places where you can profit internet without roaming: Internet cafes and Wi-Fi-point. Ibid - addresses of tourist services, and links to websites with information about the city and shopping.
Tempting Florence and the Stendhal Syndrome
A couple of days later I was leafing through the application, and finally chose the city where I wanted to get there - Florence. After that I learned about it from the "Cult-tourist", it seems to me this much fun. In addition to the external beauty that this boom town gives residents and travelers, it envelops the alluring atmosphere of grandeur and mystery.
Some tourists even experience panic attacks, fainting and hallucinations caused by the length of stay under the influence of works of art. The name of this disease - Stendhal syndrome, since it was first described by novelist like the thrill of visiting Florence. Details of the syndrome is written in the section "Chips", in which each city is told about these fun facts.
Attractions and cuisine of Florence
We'll have to hope for a strong mentality and treated traditional drinks of Tuscany. This, as you know, of course, wine! "Cult-tourist" kindly advised me to dinner steak Florentine and drink a glass of Chianti, and for dessert try tsukotto and vinsanto - "holy wine" made from the best varieties of grapes "Trebbiano" and "Malvasia". It is impossible to feel the atmosphere of the country, not tasting the masterpieces of traditional cuisine.
Now I do not know how many days to go to Florence. I would like to see all the sights, but too many of them. map of the city is replete with icons marking the famous places: Academy of Fine Arts, which houses the famous "David" by Michelangelo, Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore (The Duomo) ...
We'll have to make a harsh plan to include only what is necessary, not to gallop without feeling legs in the evening. Still, the trip should be calm and relaxed, then in the head will be more memories and impressions, and on his feet - smaller than calluses.
To describe all that can be found in Appendix "Cult Guides-tourist", it will take too long review. It is better to have a look at it yourself, the more so because it is free, and vote a detailed description of public transport, historical information about the city and great people.
I bet that even avid travelers will find in the appendix interesting facts about which they had not heard. But for people like me who are just discovering the world, the app "Cult Guides-tourist" will serve as an experienced guide. If a dream come true and I would be in October in Florence, be sure to write this post and I'll say thank you, "Cult-tourist" for inspiration.
