Luxury Vehicle

Visiting the top travel spots in the world is a desire of a lot of people.  As Baby Boomers age, they are especially eager to tick more and more destinations off their bucket list.  While they have the time and the income to travel, their physical stamina may not be what it was even a decade ago, so they might adjust their youthful dreams of hiking and scaling mountains and opt instead for taking in the local cuisine at sunset.  They are just as likely to enjoy a cooking class or walking tour, or to rent a luxury vehicle and visit the friends they’ve made during their lifetime.  If so, they’ll enjoy using the services of Sixt car rental.

  By , , , ,

It may not be Cancun, but the top reasons to visit Cabo San Lucas will surely leave you wanting to spend your spring break, honeymoon, or family holidays in this laid back paradise.  Located at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is best known for its iconic El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, a distinctive rock formation found at the very tip of the city.  In addition, this holiday destination is a great place to go whale watching, scuba diving or maybe lounging by the beach.

Here are some of the top reasons to visit Cabo San Lucas.

Cabo, Mexico

Winter?  What winter?  One of the top reasons to visit Cabo San Lucas is its perpetually sunny weather.  Here, you get 365 days of summer.  Now if you’re looking forward to warming your toes in winter, then burying them on the warm sands of Cabo San Lucas may be the most perfect solution.

Romantic getaway.  Honeymooners will get the best week of their lives walking on the fine, golden sands of Cabo San Lucas’s beaches, Admiring the beach scenery from the comforts of their own rented luxury villa, or watching the sun set at the El Arco de Cabo San Lucas.  Eitherway, the sun, sea, surf (and probably the tequila body shots) will leave you and your significant other smiling and glowing when you come back to the real world.

Under the sea.  Cabo San Lucas is one of the best diving destinations in the world, with its long stretches of coral reefs and hiding places of some of the world’s most exotic marine life.  You can approach your hotel front desk to make arrangements for your scuba diving sessions with a qualified guide or instructor.

If scuba diving scares you,  you can always opt for snorkelling.

Nightlife.  Come night time and the city of Cabo de San Lucas comes alive with pubs, clubs, restaurants and bars filling in with locals and gringos alike.  If you are a big rock fan, the Cabo Wabo Cantina is the best place to go especially on October 13 when the owner (none other than rock musician Sammy Hagar of Van Halen) celebrates his birthday and performs with his band, the Wabos.  The show often include famous guests from the music scene.

The Best Time To Visit Liechtenstein!

  By ,

Knowing the best time to visit Liechtenstein will help you make your plans ahead when visiting this cool German-speaking country flanked by Switzerland and Austria.  This small, landlocked country enjoys the a high standard of living, despite its size and is home to some of the most breath-taking natural attractions and landscapes in the world.

Liechtenstein has a continental climate with cold and cloudy winters with frequent rain and snow and mild summers which are moderately warm to cool.

Knowing the best time to visit Liechtenstein would greatly depend on what you plan to do in the country.

Skiing and winter sports enthusiasts are better off visiting between December and April, during the peak of the winter season.  Christmas is even more spectacular with all of the lights on many of the homes at night.  But when April arrives, most ski resorts will begin to close down as the snow melts to prepare for summer.

But do be warned:  winter time means more people, which translates to higher accommodation costs.  So it’s wise to save up for a ski trip to Liechtenstein early on and book flights and accommodations early to avoid the rush.

Off season may also offer perks to budget-wise travellers.  Off season falls in summer, from April to November and prices of accommodations often drop during this time of the year.  But if you have no plans on skiing or indulging in winter sports, this may be the best time to visit Liechtenstein for you, where you can enjoy touring the capital, Vaduz, and seeing the sites, or indulging in mountain climbing, hiking and trekking.

But still bring a light coat or a light jacket with you.  Summers in Liechtenstein may still be cool thanks to the country’s continental climate.  Other than that, enjoy the balmy weather without having to bother with thick, winter coats and layering on clothes!
