HEAD FOR HEIGHTS<br />
Do you like climbing to the<br />
top of tall buildings? Our<br />
writer Peter Geoghegan<br />
doesn’t, so we couldn’t<br />
resist asking him to take a<br />
rooftop tour of Stockholm.<br />
In a city this beautiful, how<br />
could anyone not enjoy it?<br />

WELCOME ABOARD<br />
The World’s Favourite Airline<br />
Welcome aboard Ryanair and congratulations<br />
for joining our other 75 million passengers in<br />
choosing one of our guaranteed lowest fares,<br />
which are not only great news for you, our<br />
passenger, but are also great news for the 160<br />
airports and the 26 countries Ryanair fl ies to<br />
and from.<br />
This year Ryanair will grow to 75 million<br />
passengers and these passengers will help<br />
Ryanair to sustain over 75,000 jobs across<br />
Europe. These jobs are created and sustained<br />
in airports, restaurants, hotels, museums and<br />
across every other industry which benefi ts from<br />
Ryanair’s high-spending passengers. Thank you<br />
for helping Ryanair to supporting and grow jobs<br />
across Europe.<br />
So far this year high fares airlines, and<br />
high cost tour operators, have hiked up fuel<br />
surcharges as they jump on the opportunity to<br />
increase the cost of travel after unrest in the<br />
Middle East. At Ryanair we vow to never impose<br />
a fuel surcharge and will continue to offer the<br />
lowest fares in Europe.<br />
Ryanair continues to deliver new low fares<br />
summer sun options to passengers and we<br />
recently announced our fi rst routes to Crete,<br />
while this summer we will offer 34 routes to Greek<br />
airports in Chania, Rhodes, Kos, Thessaloniki<br />
and Volos to ensure passengers can get to the<br />
sun for less than ever before. Our route network<br />
continues to grow with our passenger numbers<br />
so why not check out our Ryanair.com when you<br />
get home to see what exciting new routes are<br />
available from your local airport.<br />
Finally,I invite you to take a quick look at<br />
our in-fl ight magazine which is packed full of<br />
gifts and snacks to make your fl ight even more<br />
special and enjoyable.<br />
Thank you once again travelling with Ryanair<br />
and I ask you to sit back, relax and enjoy our infl<br />
ight service onboard Europe’s only guaranteed<br />
low fares, no fuel surcharges, airline.<br />
Best Wishes,<br />

Welcome<br />
WE’VE BEEN SHOPPING, EATING AND PARTYING OUR WAY AROUND EUROPE<br />
Finally it feels like summer! And because we<br />
here at Ryanair Magazine love summer, we’ve<br />
packed the magazine with fun summer<br />
stories. For a start, there’s our list of 20<br />
ultimate beaches (page 60), some of which<br />
you <strong>may</strong> have already been to, but also many<br />
more you’ll defi nitely want to visit now,<br />
because they are very lovely indeed.<br />
We also take a look at a small yet<br />
increasingly popular beach on the Croatian<br />
island of Pag — fast becoming eastern<br />
Europe’s new summer clubbing capital.<br />
Superstar DJs, tanned bodies, 24-hour<br />
partying — it’s all to be had on Zrce beach.<br />
Turn to page 86 for a closer look.<br />
Keeping our ear to the ground, we’ve<br />
also got an insightful feature on a European<br />
capital exploding with new fashion talent<br />
and cool shops: Vienna (page 70). And for<br />
those of you who have a head for heights,<br />
check out our exciting piece on a craze<br />
that is taking Stockholm by storm — rooft op<br />
climbing tours (page 78)!<br />
As for me, for this issue I had the pleasure<br />
of visiting the romantic and exciting Italian<br />
hilltop town of Bergamo for our cover story<br />
(page 41). The thing is, there was so much<br />
incredible food that in the space of just three<br />
08 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM<br />
days I found myself going up in weight by at<br />
least 2kg. Of course this is not helpful with the<br />
beach season being just around the corner.<br />
But that’s the thing I’ve noticed when you<br />
go on weekend city breaks: you can’t help<br />
but eat and drink all the delicious goodies<br />
on off er. Aft er all, contentment really is a full<br />
stomach, and it’s a shame to go to a foodie’s<br />
paradise and not indulge.<br />
And what a gastronomic paradise<br />
Bergamo is: pasta, fi sh, pizza, the freshest<br />
ingredients, and the dessert as an art form.<br />
In fact, the Bergamese love their desserts<br />
so much it is practically a sin to leave the<br />
table without eating one. Mousses, tarts, ice<br />
creams, cakes, crumbles, fruit platters, it’s all<br />
there. And now it’s all in my tummy.<br />
Scarily, now when I look in the mirror my<br />
belly looks pregnant! What to do? I fi gure with<br />
just a month to go before my summer holiday<br />
I’ll need to drop some pounds — but I can’t go<br />
to the gym, it’s too lovely and warm outside to<br />
spend my time inside on a machine. I better<br />
fi nd the motivation somehow. Because once<br />
I’ve lost some weight, I can look forward to<br />
going back to Bergamo, to eat my way around<br />
town and put it all back on again.<br />
Whe Wherever you’re fl ying to, have a great trip.<br />

MIDSUMMER<br />
SWEDEN, 25 JUNE<br />
Make like a pagan and celebrate<br />
Midsummer. The festival is still big in<br />
Scandinavia, and traditionally held<br />
on the closest Saturday to 24 June.<br />
As with Christmas in Scandinavia,<br />
it’s on the day before – Midsummer’s<br />
Eve, or “Midsommaraft on” – that most<br />
people here mark this occasion.<br />
If you’re in Sweden on<br />
Midsummer’s Eve, look out for<br />
traditional <strong>may</strong>pole dancing by day<br />
(the pole is called a midsommarstång,<br />
and is covered in green foliage) and<br />
an even more buoyant crowd of<br />
young drinkers than usual in the<br />
bars by night. You can learn some<br />
traditional Midsummer drinking<br />
songs, including Små grodorna (The<br />
Little Frogs), with an accompanying<br />
frog-style dance. Get practising.<br />

HOW TO HAVE FUN WITHOUT SPENDING MONEY.<br />
THIS ISSUE: WWOOFING<br />
WWOOF isn’t just the noise you make<br />
when you sit down aft er a long walk – it<br />
also stands for World Wide Opportunities on<br />
Organic Farms, a group of farms that off er free<br />
food and accommodation in exchange for help.<br />
For instance, an olive farm in Italy is harvesting its<br />
crop. You agree to pitch in for four hours a day, so<br />
you’ll be working in the mornings, but you get to stay<br />
in a farmhouse for a week, eating home-cooked meals<br />
and quaffi ng your own weight in the local wine. Picking<br />
olives in a sunny grove isn’t really “work” in the emailsand-meetings<br />
sense, and you <strong>may</strong> even learn skills like<br />
how to make wine or build a barn. WWOOFing farms<br />
tend to off er you the use of bikes, surfb oards, cars and<br />
the like, so make the most of your aft ernoon off .<br />

I KNOW A LITTLE PLACE<br />
THIS MONTH: CUNEO, ITALY<br />
WHERE AGAIN? Top left of Italy, almost in France. It was part of France, back<br />
in Napoleon’s day.<br />
GATEWAY TO: Italy’s lush Piedmont region, Turin, the Med and the Alps.<br />
INSIDER’S VERDICT: This magnifi cently beautiful part of Italy, very similar in<br />
appearance to Tuscany, is a haven where you can meander among the vineyards,<br />
sup the wine they produce in stone-walled castle cellars, and gorge on<br />
white truffl es, cheeses, and rum-fi lled chocolates called Cuneesi.<br />
TRY IT IF YOU LIKE: Impressive piazzas. The town’s main square, Piazza<br />
Galimberti, cuts a whopping 2.4ha through the heart of the city. The interior<br />
of the Sant'Ambrogio church has to be seen, too.<br />
MUST DO: Try the world-famous local sparkling wine, Asti Spumante. The<br />
locals will be able to point you in the direction of a good bottle.<br />

BON APPETIT!<br />
JAMÓN IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA / HUELVA, SPAIN<br />
The world’s most expensive ham is pricey for a<br />
reason. Firstly, the pigs are fed only acorns, and<br />
kept in fi ve-star pastures. It takes two years for<br />
them to reach the right age, and another er three<br />
to cure the ham in sea salt. You can enjoy oy waferthin<br />
slices of delight at eateries in the town own of<br />
Huelva, near the Portuguese border – the he best<br />
farms are found around here, running north orth<br />
up through western Andalucia. If you want ant to<br />
take home a whole leg, better draw at least east<br />
€1,500 out of the cash machine fi rst.<br />

daily disposable contact lenses<br />
Daily disposables are the healthiest contact lenses but<br />
were very expensive, even unaffordable, until the launch<br />
of daysoft online.<br />
cleaning is the problem<br />
Monthly or 2-weekly contact lenses need<br />
cleaning solutions and a ‘rub and rinse’<br />
before use... a real hassle. Also lens<br />
cleaning solutions are not cheap and can<br />
‘go off’ soon after opening.<br />
But there is more... one in ten people have<br />
allergic reactions to solutions and soft<br />
contact lenses absorb protein which is<br />
never removed risking solutions-related<br />
discomfort. For anyone who cleans in<br />
peroxide and forgets to neutralise the<br />
pain is excruciating. Lastly, there is<br />
the environmental impact of discarded<br />
solutions bottles and the chemicals<br />
themselves.<br />

17 MAY- 5 JUN<br />
FRENCH OPEN<br />
Who will conquer the clay this year? The Roland-Garros French Open<br />
is considered by many to be the most physically demanding on the<br />
professional tennis tour. The clay surface creates a slower pace of play,<br />
which is a disadvantage to those relying on big serves. A boisterous French<br />
crowd always creates an electric atmosphere, getting behind those who<br />
display the best skill and determination. Rafael Nadal’s victory last year<br />
was his fi h French Open title. Be at the prestigious Philippe Chatrier court<br />
this year, or fi nd a bar with a big screen, to see who’ll take home the cup.<br />

BEACH BLING<br />
Whoopee! Time to pile on the factor 30 and work<br />
on some tan lines under European rays – it’s<br />
summer! Soon, the tabloids will be full of celebs<br />
taking a break on the Costas and partying hard<br />
through Ibiza’s opening season. Seeing a star in<br />
their bikini can be a depressing experience for<br />
us mere mortals. Whether it’s Gwyneth Paltrow<br />
frolicking in the shallows in the Caribbean or<br />
Courtney Cox showing us that 47 is the new 21.<br />
But fear not, as having a well-fi tting swimsuit<br />
is a fast track to looking scorching hot. If your<br />
bikini looks decidedly saggy, or your swimsuit<br />
is threadbare, it’s time to treat yourself to some<br />
new-season swimwear.<br />
This summer, there’s a strong swimwear trend<br />
for vintage styles with cutesy retro prints. This<br />
spells joy and relief for any pear shapes or muffi n<br />
tops, since generous cuts hide thighs and cover<br />
excess wobble with frills. Halternecks can be<br />
fl attering, too. Vintage swimsuits also make great<br />
pieces for going from beach to bar – just pull on<br />
some denim cut-offs and a cropped cardi.<br />
If you live in the UK, check out the vintage-style<br />
swimwear line by model Daisy Lowe (pictured),<br />

to test the goods<br />
NAKED PALETTE, URBAN DECAY<br />
€35<br />
This is a rare thing – an<br />
eye-shadow collection<br />
without a single colour<br />
you can’t envisage<br />
using. Featuring the<br />
best-sellers Sidecar,<br />
Sin and Toasted, the<br />
colours are satin-soft, and come in matt,<br />
shimmer or sparkle.<br />
EXPERT TIP: Use shimmery shadow on your lids<br />
and matt to sweep out to the lashes’ edge.<br />
Reader test: “Wow. Gorgeous colours for<br />
Mediterranean skin. It’s a nice slim case for<br />
a handbag too. Great.”<br />

and professes to be a<br />
3-D brightening pink<br />
powder. The Avatar of<br />
blushers! The colour is instantly revitalising,<br />
with enough shimmer to give a subtle glow.<br />
EXPERT TIP: Smile and then apply to the apple<br />
of your cheeks. Tone down with translucent<br />
powder if necessary.<br />
Reader test: “I’d use a cream blush by day<br />
and glam up with this by night. I like it.”<br />

GIVENCHY PRISMISSIME MAT & GLOW<br />
€47.50<br />
This bronzing palette<br />
features nine shades<br />
that can be used<br />
individually, or blended<br />
together. The gold<br />
shades highlight<br />
cheekbones nicely; the<br />
deeper tones can make you look like you’ve<br />
just jetted in from the Med.<br />
EXPERT TIP: Try it with a professional brush.<br />

Comment<br />
THE GLOBETROTTING DJ ON SKIING, CYCLING AND SPINNING RECORDS<br />
“I LIKE BEING ON PLANES; I GET A LOT OF<br />
thinking done on planes, I get a lot of music<br />
made on planes. I’m one of these people who<br />
really enjoys being in the air, because I like the<br />
feeling of escape.<br />
“Sometimes I’ll need to go away for work,<br />
and my family will come along and then we’ll<br />
have a holiday together at the end of it – to<br />
varying degrees of satisfaction and success.<br />
I’m working hard on trying to separate<br />
business and pleasure more. My wife and<br />
I just went skiing with some of our kids to<br />
Courchevel, which was purely a holiday. I<br />
absolutely adore skiing. I love mountains, the<br />
freedom, and concentrating my mind on just<br />
one thing. I learned to ski in Austria, then went<br />
to Switzerland, then discovered the French<br />
resorts and have kept going back to them.<br />
“Sometimes my wife and I will go to Paris<br />
together for the night for a break. Between<br />
us we’ve got five children from previous<br />
relationships and one together, and they range<br />
in age from four to 21, so it’s quite a clan. It’s<br />
hard to get us all away at the same time. We<br />
usually do that in Ibiza in the summer.<br />
“I’m returning to Ibiza for a Friday night<br />
residency at Pacha this year, which is<br />
“I learned to ski<br />
in Austria. I love the<br />
mountains, the<br />
freedom of skiing”<br />
19 weeks, from the end of May to end of<br />
September. The season is long! And obviously<br />
one of the highlights of the summer is BBC<br />
Radio 1 in Ibiza, which I’ve been a part of<br />
since the very first one. Plus, there’s also<br />
the International Music Summit. Me and<br />
some friends started that, to showcase how<br />
important music and the arts are to Ibiza.<br />
“I don’t stay in Ibiza all summer, because life<br />
would come to a standstill. I come back to the<br />
UK, sometimes just for one night, and I’ll also<br />
leave to go and work in other cities, or take a bit<br />
of holiday. I’m getting into cycling, and have an<br />
ambition to do a stage of the Tour de France.<br />
I have a really good bike and I’m getting fi t<br />
enough to do it. You have to be fi t to be a DJ. I<br />
wouldn’t have lasted this long if I hadn’t learned<br />
to start looking after myself. People pay a lot of<br />
money to see me, and I want to be good.”<br />

Comment<br />
COMEDIAN AND TRAVEL CHANNEL PRESENTER DANNY ROBINS ON THEMED EATERIES<br />
I’M IN ESTONIA, AND HAVE JUST BEEN<br />
offered bear meat by a man in medieval<br />
costume. Either I have accidentally stepped<br />
through a portal in the space-time continuum<br />
or I am in Tallinn’s most popular medievalthemed<br />
restaurant. Well, I hate to disappoint<br />
you, but I’m in Tallinn’s most popular medievalthemed<br />
restaurant.<br />
I have a confession to make. I know it’s not<br />
hip or cool, but I love themed restaurants and<br />
bars. The way I see it, eating and drinking is<br />
fun, but it’s even more fun when the staff are in<br />
fancy dress. On my travels around the planet<br />
we call Earth, I’ve had the pleasure of being<br />
served by pirates, ninjas, monks, monsters,<br />
gangsters, astronauts, Elvises, Vikings, Robin<br />
Hood and, in one case, a depressed carrot<br />
(that carrot-themed restaurant didn’t last).<br />
But back to the place in Tallinn. Here, they<br />
really get medieval on your ass. The staff all<br />
wear authentic costumes, the menu looks like<br />
a 13th-century manuscript, and if you want<br />
to go to the toilet you just open a window and<br />
relieve yourself on people in the street below.<br />
OK, I made that last bit up: they actually have<br />
liquid soap and a nice paper-towel dispenser.<br />
I decide to avoid the bear – I always fi nd it a<br />
bit grizzly – and go for some medieval pork. I’m<br />
hoping it’s not literally medieval. “Use by date 5<br />
June 1354? Oh well, if it still smells OK…”<br />
After my meal, as I quaff the last bit of mead<br />
from my tankard and prepare to go back to the<br />
future (ie, outside), I’m approached by a rather<br />
nervous-looking serving wench, clutching a<br />
bit of paper. A medieval ballad, perhaps, to be<br />
sung in my honour before I leave?<br />
“Would you mind filling out a customer<br />
satisfaction survey?” she asks, laying it in front<br />
of me. It’s a long list of questions, the answers<br />
to which are all either 3, 2, 1, -1, -2 or -3.<br />

Comment<br />
COMEDIAN AND TRAVEL CHANNEL PRESENTER DANNY ROBINS ON THEMED EATERIES<br />
I’M IN ESTONIA, AND HAVE JUST BEEN<br />
offered bear meat by a man in medieval<br />
costume. Either I have accidentally stepped<br />
through a portal in the space-time continuum<br />
or I am in Tallinn’s most popular medievalthemed<br />
restaurant. Well, I hate to disappoint<br />
you, but I’m in Tallinn’s most popular medievalthemed<br />
restaurant.<br />
I have a confession to make. I know it’s not<br />
hip or cool, but I love themed restaurants and<br />
bars. The way I see it, eating and drinking is<br />
fun, but it’s even more fun when the staff are in<br />
fancy dress. On my travels around the planet<br />
we call Earth, I’ve had the pleasure of being<br />
served by pirates, ninjas, monks, monsters,<br />
gangsters, astronauts, Elvises, Vikings, Robin<br />
Hood and, in one case, a depressed carrot<br />
(that carrot-themed restaurant didn’t last).<br />
But back to the place in Tallinn. Here, they<br />
really get medieval on your ass. The staff all<br />
wear authentic costumes, the menu looks like<br />
a 13th-century manuscript, and if you want<br />
to go to the toilet you just open a window and<br />
relieve yourself on people in the street below.<br />
OK, I made that last bit up: they actually have<br />
liquid soap and a nice paper-towel dispenser.<br />
I decide to avoid the bear – I always fi nd it a<br />
bit grizzly – and go for some medieval pork. I’m<br />
hoping it’s not literally medieval. “Use by date 5<br />
June 1354? Oh well, if it still smells OK…”<br />
After my meal, as I quaff the last bit of mead<br />
from my tankard and prepare to go back to the<br />
future (ie, outside), I’m approached by a rather<br />
nervous-looking serving wench, clutching a<br />
bit of paper. A medieval ballad, perhaps, to be<br />
sung in my honour before I leave?<br />
“Would you mind filling out a customer<br />
satisfaction survey?” she asks, laying it in front<br />
of me. It’s a long list of questions, the answers<br />
to which are all either 3, 2, 1, -1, -2 or -3.<br />
I look at a sample question: “Those dishes<br />
we ordered made us feel noble, they were quite<br />
full and the side dishes were an experience<br />
of a different kind.” Hmm. Tricky. I don’t really<br />
feel that noble, yet I don’t feel un-noble, and I<br />

A WINDOW ON ITALIAN CULTURE<br />
FROM MY SPOT ON THE TERRACE OF THE<br />
Caffè del Tasso on Piazza Vecchia, sipping an<br />
espresso and slurping on a sour-cherry sorbet<br />
in the sunshine, I find myself transported<br />
to the Renaissance, contemplating elegant<br />
architecture, history, art and Italy’s dolce vita.<br />
Bergamo is altogether beautiful, and yet is<br />
often neglected by tourists to northern Italy<br />
in favour of nearby Milan. But to miss out on<br />
Bergamo is to miss out on something special.<br />
For here in this compact town split into two<br />
parts, Città Alta (Upper Town) and Città Bassa<br />
(Lower Town), you can find the best of Italy<br />
all in one vibrant and happening place. It’s an<br />
ideal weekend break or a great spot to base<br />
yourself for tours around the Lombardy region.<br />
The lakes of Iseo, Garda and Como are all<br />
reachable within an hour.<br />
Best of all are the Bergamese people:<br />
hard-working, friendly, proud and passionate<br />
about their town and their football team, the<br />
currently second division Atalanta. Watching a<br />
match at 26,638-seater Atleti Azzurri d’Italia<br />
stadium is a serious event and well worth it if<br />
you’re a soccer fan.<br />
If you’re not into football, don’t worry,<br />
in Bergamo you’ll eat well and drink well<br />
at affordable prices, and be able to enjoy<br />
spectacular views of the Lombardy plains and<br />
foothills of the Alps from Città Alta, a tangle<br />
of medieval streets, churches and towers on<br />
the hill enclosed by 5km of Venetian walls. You<br />
can also immerse yourself in surprisingly fi ne<br />
art and music at the GAMeC and Accademia<br />
Carrara galleries and Teatro Donizetti (named<br />
after Bergamese composer Gaetano Donizetti).<br />
Indeed there’s so much to love about<br />
Bergamo it’s diffi cult to know where to begin.<br />
Perhaps by taking the cosy little funicular up<br />
from Città Bassa to the main street of the old<br />
town, Via Gombito, and its wine bars, delis and<br />
alleyways leading off into times past. Wander<br />
over to the Rocca, a grand fortress built by King<br />
John of Bohemia in the 14th century. Soak up<br />
the ambiance and history all around you, and<br />
sip vino rosso or bianco at cafés on the various<br />
squares. Piazza Vecchia is the heart of Città Alta,<br />
and home to a mix of Romanesque, Renaissance<br />
and neo-classical architectural styles, including<br />
42 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM<br />
the Torre Civica belltower, a massive marble library and the impressive<br />
Palazzo della Ragione.<br />
Descend to Città Bassa by one of the 10 different flights of steps<br />
and alleys that climb the sides of Bergamo hill, with names like the<br />
Fontanabrolo or Paradiso steps, and find yourself in its broad boulevards<br />
lined with shops and more banks than the town has people. Modern<br />
Bergamo is a wealthy banking and manufacturing town and that’s<br />
reflected in its cleanliness, organisation and functionality, especially in<br />
the worldly heart of Città Bassa, the Sentierone, a fine avenue of trees<br />
lined with shops and boutiques.<br />
When the comforting big bell on the hill rings every night at 10pm to<br />
call everyone back to the Città Alta before the gates close, as it’s done<br />
for centuries (the gates don’t really close today) you’ll feel like a native<br />
and be swallowed up in the city’s embrace.<br />
With the airport located just three miles away, you’d be mad to miss<br />

ON THE street<br />
ANCIENT CHURCHES AND MODERN ART<br />
BERGAMO IS A TOWN CHOC-FULL OF<br />
cultural interest points. It’s not something you’d<br />
expect of such a small place, but just walk<br />
around in both the upper and lower towns for a<br />
day and you’ll be surprised at every corner.<br />
Gallery-wise, for me the highlight is the<br />
GAMeC ( 1 www.gamec.it). A huge maze of<br />
light-fi lled exhibition rooms housing modern<br />
and contemporary art, it is spread throughout<br />
two former convents in Città Bassa, designed<br />
by Vittorio Gregotti and open since 1991. Not<br />
only does it feature temporary exhibitions and<br />
collaborations with international galleries, but<br />
it also has a substantial permanent collection<br />
that includes sculptures, etchings, paintings<br />
and drawings from artists and creatives in<br />
Bergamo. With educational programmes and<br />
special events, it’s an incredible creative hub.<br />
As Roberta Garibaldi, on GAMeC’s board, says:<br />
“Bergamo is the artistic centre of Lombardy<br />
and that’s in part due to GAMeC.”<br />
Opposite is the more famous Accademia<br />
Carrara ( 2 www.accademiacarrara.bergamo.<br />
it), a neo-classical gallery housing a Who’s Who<br />
44 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM<br />
of Italian masters, such as Titian, Botticelli and Raphael. Unfortunately,<br />
the gallery is closed until 2012 for refurbishment, but a selection of works<br />
are on display at Palazzo della Ragione on Piazza Vecchia.<br />
Staying in Città Bassa, for all that is music and theatre the<br />
most impressive venue has to be the Teatro Donizetti ( 3 www.<br />
teatrodonizetti.com). This imposing building with a vast decorative<br />
auditorium is named after famous Bergamese opera composer Gaetano<br />
Donizetti and hosts some top shows. Look out for the 48th edition of the<br />
Brescia and Bergamo International Piano Festival starting in May.<br />
Up in Città Alta, learn more about the composer at the Donizetti<br />
Museum 4 in the house where he lived and close to where he died,<br />
syphilitic and insane in 1848. Do pass by the Duomo 5 , the main and<br />
very grand cathedral in Piazza del Duomo behind Piazza Vecchia, which<br />
today has excavated ruins of a previous church below. And pop in briefl y<br />
to the chapel of Bartolomeo Colleoni 6 , a very successful 15thcentury<br />
mercenary who it’s said had three testicles – they are visible on<br />
his coat of arms and you are supposed to rub them for luck. Up to you.<br />
Get out quick and <strong>may</strong>be book to see a show at the Teatro Sociale<br />
( 7 www.teatrodonizetti.com) around the corner on Via Colleoni, a<br />
magnifi cent theatre with over 1,000 seats and boxes originally built in<br />
1808, that now works in partnership with the Teatro Donizetti.<br />
Finally, give yourself a break at the Lorenzo Rota Botanical<br />
Garden 8 , close to the Cittadella and featuring many native, exotic,<br />
Mediterranean, and aquatic plants alongside a lovely view over Città Alta.<br />
broad church<br />
Domes and towers dot the<br />
Bergamese landscape<br />
Inside the GAMeC<br />
Get ready to take your seat<br />
at Teatro Donizetti<br />
Lotto winner<br />
You’ll find some of<br />
the most incredible<br />
religious artworks<br />
in Lombardy in<br />
Bergamo’s churches,<br />
and arguably the finest<br />
were created by the<br />
Venetian Renaisance<br />
master Lorenzo Lotto.<br />
He worked in Bergamo<br />
from 1513–25 and<br />
today three of his<br />
best works remain<br />
in situ around the<br />
city. A chapel in the<br />
San Michele al Pozzo<br />
church in Città Alta<br />
houses an exquisite<br />
cycle of paintings<br />
entitled Storie della<br />
Vergine (Stories of<br />
the Virgin Mother).<br />
In Città Bassa, the<br />
Santo Spirito and<br />
San Bernardino<br />
churches feature her<br />
again in two splendid<br />
altarpieces depicting<br />
the Madonna with<br />
the Saints. And<br />
see even more in<br />
the Romanesque<br />
Basilica of Santa<br />
Maria Maggiore 9 ,<br />
a magnificent church<br />
begun in 1137 and<br />
dedicated to the Virgin<br />
Mary in thanks for<br />
getting the Bergamese<br />
through the plague<br />
years. Alongside<br />
Lotto’s fascinating<br />
wood panels, make<br />
sure to see the other<br />
huge frescoes and<br />
Donizetti’s tomb.

AT THE HOTEL<br />
BAG A STYLISH STAY AT A GREAT PRICE<br />
IN THIS TOWN OF HIGH AND LOW IT’S MORE<br />
likely than not that you’ll want to stay in the<br />
Città Alta – the views, the cosiness, the overall<br />
mystique make it a must. Yet a stay in one of<br />
the larger hotels in Città Bassa is also well<br />
worth it if you like your wide avenues and open<br />
spaces. Up or down – and even just outside of<br />
town – there are plenty of options to be had for<br />
all tastes and at all prices.<br />
A charming place in the Città Alta, and the<br />
only one that can boast of being just a few<br />
steps from the famous Piazza Vecchia itself,<br />
is Hotel Piazza Vecchia ( 10 doubles from<br />
€150, www.hotelpiazzavecchia.it). Carved out<br />
of a 14th-century building, this inn run by the<br />
Vismara family features 13 spacious rooms,<br />
with exposed beams, stone bathrooms, and<br />
nice attention to detail. Some have king-sized<br />
beds, and they’re as romantic as can be.<br />
For those who want to live more like a<br />
local, also in the heart of town are two small<br />
self-catering apartments, Casa Carlotta<br />
and Casa Andrea ( 11 from €90, www.<br />
casevacanzabergamo.it). Casa Carlotta is the<br />
46 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM<br />
nicer of the two, featuring a kitchen-diner, free wi-fi and views across the<br />
valley to the foothills of the Alps.<br />
For exceptionally cheap and cheerful accommodation, the best spots<br />
are down in the Città Bassa. Bed and breakfast Ciccio passami l’Olio<br />
( 12 doubles from €55, www.cicciobb.com), with its brightly coloured<br />
rooms and trendy bar in the most vibrant part of the lower town, is warm<br />
and welcoming and offers free parking. The nicest, cleanest hostel option<br />
has to be Central Hostel BG ( 13 single, double, triple and quadruple<br />
rooms from €21–€35 per person, www.centralhostelbg.com). Located<br />
around the corner from the railway station, it’s calm and comfy, with wi-fi<br />
and breakfast included – perfect if you’re a student on a budget.<br />
Even closer to the station, and near the Donizetti Theatre, there’s<br />
the altogether grander 88-room, four-star Mercure Bergamo Palazzo<br />
Dolci ( 14 doubles from €120, www.mercure.com). A large pink<br />
rectangular palazzo, it offers fantastic service and solid, standard rooms<br />
and a perfect base to start exploring Bergamo’s lower town.<br />
For something with a little more of a country feel, check into La<br />
Valletta Relais ( 15 doubles from €95, www.lavallettabergamo.it), a<br />
refined old house with just eight rooms set in the Parco dei Colli, about<br />
1km from the town centre. A relaxed, friendly place to stay, here you can<br />
take breakfast outside on the sunny terrace and later venture out on<br />
the numerous walking paths. They also provide bicycle hire if you fancy<br />
getting around on two wheels. Mind the hill ride up to Città Alta though –<br />
the cobbles will definitely make you wobble!<br />

For a hotel offering<br />
bags of modern flavour<br />

to be the very cool and<br />
very chic boutique<br />
Gombit Hotel ( 16<br />
doubles from €185,<br />
www.gombithotel.<br />
it). Part of the Design<br />

perfectly located slap<br />

Città Alta right next<br />
to the 13th-century<br />
Torre del Gombito<br />
and a short stroll<br />
from Piazza Vecchia.<br />
With just 13 high-spec<br />
rooms spread over<br />
four floors it feels<br />
superstar-exclusive for<br />
a price that’s not. The<br />
furnishings are soft and<br />
exquisite, the rooms<br />
will accommodate kids<br />
comfortably and the<br />
overall design by Giò<br />

the building’s history,<br />
featuring exposed brick<br />

ON THE TABLE<br />
FROM STAR CHEFS TO ICE CREAM INNOVATION<br />
IF YOU COME TO BERGAMO YOU WILL EAT<br />
like a king. There are so many top restaurants<br />
serving exquisite dishes, fi ne wines and even<br />
fi ner desserts that the most taxing question<br />
you’ll fi nd yourself asking is, where to eat next?<br />
Although Città Bassa boasts some excellent<br />
eateries – like Enoteca Zanini Osteria ( 17<br />
www.enotecazanini.com) in a sweet orange<br />
house that is always packed and serving good<br />
pasta and seafood – for ambiance and variety,<br />
the options in Città Alta won me over.<br />
It’s hard to argue with family-run Da Mimmo<br />
( 18 www.ristorantemimmo.com). In one of<br />
the oldest buildings in Città Alta, built in 1357,<br />
Da Mimmo opened in 1956 when Mimmo<br />
Amaddeo and his wife Lina wanted to bring<br />
their family cooking to all. Known for its pizza<br />
– brothers Roberto and Massimo who run the<br />
place today tell me it’s where most Bergamese<br />
come as children for their fi rst – it also serves<br />
local speciality casoncelli (pasta cushions fi lled<br />
with a spicy sausage and buttery sage sauce,<br />
sprinkled with cheese). You can also pick up local<br />
ingredients from their deli across the street.<br />
48 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM<br />
Tucked away in a tiny backstreet, self-taught chef and Bergamo<br />
native Ezio Gritti’s Michelin-starred L’Osteria di via Solata ( 19 www.<br />
osteriaviasolata.it) is a pretty special place. At cosy tables, always laid<br />
with fresh flowers, you can sample Ezio’s simple dishes, gorgeously<br />
presented and immensely imaginative. Try the sumptuous foie gras, and<br />
fish dishes like tuna in tuna sauce or raviolli stuffed with red mullet and<br />
served with wild asparagus. His wine list numbers over 1,000 labels and<br />
his personal service leaves you with total satisfaction.<br />
Equal in attention to detail is Taverna Colleoni & Dell’Angelo ( 20<br />
www.colleonidellangelo.com) on Piazza Vecchia. In the vaulted rooms<br />
of a 17th-century palace, all marble and variegated columns, chef and<br />
proprietor Pierangelo Cornaro will serve you classic dishes cooked to<br />
perfection, including mouth-watering monkfish and huge dumplings<br />
filled with Bagoss cheese served with fried basil leaves and veal glazing.<br />
For a meal with soul and a laid-back vibe, take the funicular up to<br />
Baretto di San Vigilio ( 21 www.baretto.it) on the hill opposite Città Alta.<br />
Sit on the sunny terrace day or night and take in the spectacular views<br />
with a local Valcalepio red wine, or enjoy inventive Bergamese dishes like<br />
the famous Lombardy polenta (boiled yellow or white ground cornmeal)<br />
served with mushroom sauces and meats. It’s a wonderful spot.<br />
Finally, for a cheap plate of incredible bread and salami with a house<br />
wine or beer drop into Al Donizetti ( 22 www.donizetti.it) on Città Alta’s<br />
Via Gombito. Old men chatting about football and politics, and swift<br />
service make this place a good snack option.<br />
mystic pizza<br />
Baretto di San Vigilio offers<br />
stunning views<br />
Da Mimmo is a family-run<br />
pizza joint you’ll love<br />
Bella<br />
stracciatella<br />
If there’s a place in<br />
the world to enjoy the<br />
perfect scoop of gelato,<br />
especially after a meal<br />
of delicious Italian<br />
food and wine, it’s La<br />
Marianna ( 23 www.<br />
lamarianna.it), a<br />
restaurant and icecream<br />
parlour just<br />
outside the western<br />
walls of Città Alta. For<br />
it was here in 1962 that<br />
then proprietor Enrico<br />
Panattoni invented<br />
stracciatella, the<br />
famous milk, cream<br />
and chocolate variety<br />
inspired by the Italian<br />
soup of the same name.<br />
Honestly, try it once<br />
and you’ll be hanging<br />
out here for your whole<br />
trip. Let your taste<br />
buds go wild with the<br />
fi ne bits of chocolate<br />
interspersed in the<br />
ice cream, creating a<br />
smooth texture with<br />
just the slightest<br />
crunch in every bite. La<br />
Marianna is a gorgeous<br />
spot, with a patisserie<br />
on the ground fl oor, a<br />
restaurant on the fi rst,<br />
and a lovely garden and<br />
open terrace above. If<br />
you’re in town for the<br />
weekend, go on your<br />
fi rst day, return on your<br />
second and be sure<br />
not to miss that extra<br />
helping of stracciatella<br />
on your third. You won’t<br />
regret it.

BERGAMO ON THE GROUND<br />
FLY TO MILAN (BERGAMO) FROM 70 DESTINATIONS, INCLUDING ALICANTE | BARCELONA (EL PRAT, GIRONA AND REUS) | CONSTANTA | DUBLIN | EAST MIDLANDS |<br />
to THE bar<br />
WINNING WINES AND LAID-BACK BOOZERS<br />
FOOD AND DRINK, SUN AND BEAUTY<br />
everywhere – in Bergamo one can truly live la<br />
dolce vita. To not enjoy the classic aperitivo<br />
at bar tables in the sunshine or sip on a local<br />
red wine with a bowl of pasta would simply be<br />
insulting to hundreds of years of good living.<br />
Nightlife is low-key here, and the majority<br />
of the city’s youth head into nearby Milan<br />
–northern Italy’s clubbing capital, just 45<br />
minutes away – when they really want to party<br />
all night. However, in Bergamo, the action<br />
takes place in a selection of hole-in-the-wall<br />
bars up in Città Alta and down in Città Bassa.<br />
In the latter, the place that has arguably<br />
the coolest owner in town is Wine Bar Rudy<br />
( 24 www.rudywinebar.it), where Vanni will<br />
probably corral you inside by thrusting some<br />
fresh oysters and Prosecco on you from a table<br />
on the street.<br />
His place, with a single large dining table<br />
and a bar, is in a quiet little street you probably<br />
wouldn’t come across yourself unless you<br />
knew about it, and has to be the boozy find<br />
of the city. Munch on salami as the glasses of<br />
50 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM<br />
prosecco flow, and enjoy the music of Vanni’s pal who plays a funked-up<br />
blues organ in the corner at weekends.<br />
Also in the lower town is the lively Velvet Pub 25 , a low-lit, slick<br />
bar with a disco and karaoke section, and easily the best cocktails in<br />
Bergamo. These guys know their stuff and the place is filled with a<br />
young, studenty crowd.<br />
My favourite spot for a tipple in Città Alta has to be Osteria della<br />
Birra ( 26 www.birraelav.com), a small bar on Piazza Mascheroni<br />
next to the Cittadella (the Venetian fortress), with curtains that you<br />
part to duck inside. Featuring a selection of more than 100 local and<br />
international beers, a relaxed vibe and friendly crowd it’s an excellent<br />
spot for a drink and chat.<br />
Across Città Alta, opposite the Torre del Gombito, Irish pub The<br />
Tucans ( 27 www.tucans.it) offers all you could ever want or need from an<br />
Irish pub. Kilkenny, Guinness and some good Irish whiskies are all on offer,<br />
alongside a young crowd on weekends that spills out onto the street.<br />
More relaxed and filled with history is Caffè del Tasso ( 28 www.<br />
caffedeltasso.it) on Piazza Vecchia. A café, bar and wine merchant, it’s<br />
been around as an inn for about 500 years – seriously – and is named<br />
after famous 16th-century Italian poet Torquato Tasso, whose statue is<br />
just outside on the square. Take a terrace seat, order a glass of red or<br />
white and while away the warm evening hours gazing out over Piazza<br />
Vecchia – hailed as one of the world’s finest squares by Swiss architect<br />
Le Corbusier.<br />
pub talk<br />
Osteria della Birra, a cosy<br />
spot in Città Alta<br />
Enjoy the Irish craic at<br />
The Tucans<br />
Drink and<br />
be merry<br />
Wine and dine, and have<br />
a digestivo, but don’t<br />
forget your aperitivo<br />
fi rst! They take this<br />
happy hour tradition<br />
seriously in Bergamo,<br />
so be prepared to have<br />
drinks and snacks<br />
before you even start<br />
your evening meal,<br />
which really gets your<br />
appetite going. At lots of<br />
the little bars in corners<br />
of both upper and lower<br />
Bergamo you’ll fi nd a<br />
5–8pm “hour” where<br />
you can purchase a<br />
glass of bubbly and get<br />
antipasti, breads and<br />
salamis for free. Don’t<br />
skimp on your wine later<br />
though. The regional<br />
speciality is Valcalepio<br />
(www.valcalepio.org),<br />
including a red that’s<br />
a blend of Merlot and<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon, a<br />
white made from Pinot<br />
Bianco and Pinot Grigio,<br />
and a must-try Moscato<br />
di Scanzo sweet red<br />
and almondy dessert<br />
wine served everywhere.<br />
Finally, do have a<br />
digestivo, perhaps at<br />
the very original and<br />
cosy Vineria Cozzi<br />
( 29 www.vineriacozzi.<br />
it) in Città Alta, where<br />
fi ne wine can be<br />
followed by an even<br />
fi ner grappa or amaro (a<br />
herbal concoction) that<br />
will certainly help you<br />
off to sleep.

hit the shops<br />
FROM PASTA TO PURSES<br />
WHEN YOU COME TO BERGAMO IT’S<br />
worth bringing an empty suitcase, as you’ll be<br />
returning laden with bottles of wine, local jams,<br />
cheese, salami, polenta – as much food and<br />
drink as you can carry.<br />
There are plenty of salumerie (delis) in<br />
Bergamo, with counters in their glass windows<br />
filled with delicious looking delicacies. But one<br />
in particular that’s worth a visit is the delightful<br />
Salumeria Angelo Mangili 30 . Looking as if<br />
it’s been here for centuries, the little shop has<br />
everything you can think of, including stuffed<br />
olives, fresh pasta, casoncelli Bergamesca<br />
(stuffed ravioli) and a vast range of hams and<br />
cheeses that ageing proprietor Angelo Mangili<br />
will offer you to taste. It’s an Aladdin’s cave of<br />
comestibles, but you’ll need to know Italian to<br />
chat with Angelo, so dig out your phrasebook –<br />
or just use hand signals!<br />
When you’re done feasting your eyes on<br />
food, stroll through Via Gombito, past Piazza<br />
Vecchia and onto Via Colleoni, where you<br />
can pause at Pietra su Pietra ( 31 www.<br />
piazzavecchia.it). This lovely little jewellery<br />
shop is home to the handmade creations of its Brazilian-Italian owner,<br />
who uses natural stones, silver and gold in her fantastically intricate<br />
designs. You’ll definitely find a romantic gift for someone you love at a<br />
reasonable price.<br />
A few doors down you’ll find bookshop Punto a Capo 32 , an<br />
excellent place to stop for guidebooks on the area in various languages,<br />
along with local history books and Italian classics. The staff are<br />
incredibly helpful too.<br />
Though there are some clothes stores in Città Alta the best options for<br />
garment buying are down in Città Bassa. It’s worth wandering through<br />
the big avenues of Via Pignolo and Via Torquato Tasso, popping into<br />
stores along the way, through to Piazza Matteotti and then on to Borgo<br />
Sant’Alessandro – a labyrinth-like maze of streets with lots of unique<br />
boutiques selling everything from dresses to shoes to Italian leather.<br />
One of the best is Shop 56 33 , a fashion store featuring well-known<br />
labels alongside up-and-coming designers from Bergamo and Milan. On<br />
the same street, there’s Mina da Prato ( 34 www.minadaprato.com),<br />
another top-quality store that features handbags, accessories and<br />
clothes from Italian and international labels, with many one-off items.<br />
Less expensive and a big pull in Bergamo with tourists is shoe shop<br />
Square 35 , which sells high-quality Italian-made shoes at low prices.<br />
This is thanks to the company’s policy of buying direct in bulk from<br />
factories, and with hundreds of designs on display you’ll definitely find a<br />
bargain that fits!<br />
hidden gems<br />
Enjoy a slice of the good<br />
life at Angelo Mangili’s<br />
Shop for sparkly gifts at<br />

Sunday<br />
market<br />
Piazza Mascheroni<br />
is the pretty square<br />
between the Cittadella<br />
and the houses of<br />
the historical centre<br />
in Città Alta. It’s<br />
dominated by the Torre<br />
della Campanella, a<br />
belltower that dates<br />
back to 1520, when<br />
the square was called<br />
Piazza Nuova and was<br />
built as a centre for<br />
commercial activities.<br />
Trading took place<br />
under a loggia, which<br />
was later incorporated<br />
into an 18th-century<br />
building, and business<br />
is still done here today<br />
at the Sunday market<br />
36 . There are stalls<br />
with everything from<br />
handmade jewellery<br />
and paintings, to<br />
furniture and regional<br />
producers’ wines<br />
offered at cheap prices.<br />
For instance, a bottle of<br />
Cascina Castello Vino<br />
Rosso will set you back<br />
just €3. Be sure to look<br />
out for the stall with<br />
little harlequin puppets<br />
on it. The historical<br />
comic character is an<br />
old tradition in these<br />
parts, and is said to<br />
have its origins in the<br />
Brembana Valley not<br />
far from Bergamo. It’s<br />
a central fi gure during<br />
Bergamo festival days,<br />
and can also be seen in<br />
puppet shows in summer.<br />

DON’T LEAVE BERGAMO WITHOUT THESE MUST-BUYS<br />
1 / POLENTA, AND JAM<br />

often makes the difference.<br />

4 / ARTISAN JEWELLERY<br />
Bergamo Alta is full of little<br />
craft shops and boutiques<br />
that are perfect for a peek<br />
around. And for some<br />
simple gifts made with<br />
love, these hand-crafted<br />
bracelets – made by the<br />
owner of Pietra su Pietra on<br />
Via Colleoni (see page 53) –<br />
are a great buy.<br />
€35<br />

5 / ICED BISCUITS<br />
La Marianna restaurant,<br />
gelateria and bakery, also<br />
in Bergamo Alta (see<br />
page 48), is a must-visit.<br />
Its handmade colourful,<br />
decorative biscuits are a<br />
big hit with kids and adults<br />
alike – so this mediumsized<br />
box is a tasty<br />
purchase indeed.<br />

A unique experience<br />
Kick back and holiday in style at Tenerife’s<br />
all-inclusive Sandos San Blas Hotel<br />
While there’s more than enough to keep you<br />
distracted within the resort’s grounds, a walk in<br />
the surrounding nature reserve enables guests<br />
to step back in time as they discover evidence<br />
of the different volcanic periods in the reserve<br />
and how the fl ora and fauna have adapted.<br />
Tread softly and you might catch sight of a<br />
chiffchaff or lizard. There’s also a range of<br />
workshops you can sign up to, ranging from<br />
solar cooking to archaeology to painting, or<br />
you can go hiking on gorge trails.<br />
Golf lovers will be in their element with their<br />
pick of two renowned golf courses, Amarilla<br />
Golf and Golf del Sur, situated adjacent to<br />
the resort. Amarilla Golf is an 18-hole course<br />
designed by Donald Steel and boasting views of<br />
the San Miguel Marina. The 27-hole Golf del Sur<br />
meanwhile features broad, rolling fairways dotted<br />
with countless natural obstacles.<br />

Lydia Bell suggests 20 diff erent<br />
beaches you could lounge around on<br />
PLAYA DE SES ILLETES<br />
FORMENTERA, SPAIN<br />
Who goes: The Ibiza ultra-hip brigade<br />
When the international clubbers descend on Ibiza in high season,<br />
the insiders head to chill-out islet Formentera, two miles south.<br />
You’ll still find sunset-to-dawn beach parties here, but set to a<br />
tranquil reggae soundtrack. If you have a problem with nudism,<br />
you <strong>may</strong> find Formentera a little outré, but the attitude here is just<br />
to relax and live and let live. The best beach of all is Caribbeanesque<br />
Playa de Ses Illetes, where some scenesters are known to<br />
lose themselves for an entire summer (quite a feat, as Formentera<br />
is only 19km by 6km). Illetes is the island’s hub, with a bay of<br />
yachts, water sports, and good places to eat. Thatched umbrellas<br />

Sunlight, heat and the vibrant colours of the landscape. Everything in the Algarve is a source of energy. Offering you<br />
the chance to recharge your batteries.<br />
All year round, the region's beaches, nature reserves, picturesque villages, golf courses, castles and fortresses can be<br />
enjoyed in all their splendour.<br />
Day or night, you can do almost anything, or, if you prefer, do absolutely nothing. History, culture, and the popular<br />
local cuisine are readily available to all those who are interested.<br />
The people of the Algarve have mixed freely with other cultures for many centuries and have long been used to<br />
welcoming visitors. Perhaps this is why people always have fond memories of the Algarve. Come back whenever you<br />
want.<br />

ELAFONISI BEACH<br />
CRETE, GREECE<br />
WHO GOES: Families with water babies<br />
If you want the real Crete, go west. Here, Chania is Crete’s most romantic<br />
town, an exquisite Venetian creation with a taverna-lined harbour looking over<br />
blue-green waters. The best beach within tripping distance is Elafonisi on the far<br />
west coast (1.5 hours, but seriously worth it). Its big boon – apart from Indian<br />
Ocean-esque sparkling waters and pristine sandbars that glow coral pink when<br />
bathed in sunset’s light – is the preservation order slapped on it. It’s refreshingly<br />
under-developed, with locals renting out rooms. Elafonisi is named for the tiny<br />
island it overlooks, separated from the shore by a metre-deep lagoon: perfect for<br />
children. Day-trippers descend in summer, so wade out across the lagoon to the<br />
islet and head south till you find a cove all to yourself.<br />
FLY TO CHANIA FROM FRANKFURT (HAHN) AND MILAN (BERGAMO). WWW.RYANAIR.COM<br />
ESSAOUIRA BEACH<br />
ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO.<br />
WHO GOES: Beatniks, creatives, those who don’t really<br />
do beaches<br />
Essaouira, its ancient, seagull-circled ramparts tumbling<br />
to a vast windswept bay, has been hosting hippies and<br />
artists since the 1950s, and it retains its chilled-out vibe<br />
today. Bracing trade winds mean beach time is better<br />
spent camel-riding than sunbathing, but if you like jewelbox<br />
riads, small art galleries and music festivals (the<br />
Gnaoua World Music Festival takes place here 23–26<br />
June), then Essaouira is your beach bag.<br />

LIDO DI VENEZIA<br />
VENICE, ITALY<br />
WHO GOES: Venetians and<br />
tourists alike<br />
On an island in the<br />
southern lagoon of Venice,<br />
frequently gawped at by<br />
people on arriving cruise<br />
ships, this is the closest<br />
beach to Venice. Its real<br />
glory days were back in<br />
the early 20th century<br />
when it was depicted in<br />
Thomas Mann’s Death In<br />
Venice, but it’s still hugely<br />
popular with Venetians in<br />
summertime. There’s a<br />
golden, sandy beach, and<br />
the Lido is a great place<br />
to earwig on chit-chat and<br />
observe the locals. Beach<br />
huts here mean a cabin<br />
furnished with a curtain,<br />
from which you <strong>may</strong> then<br />
emerge and strike a pose.<br />

PRASONISI BEACH<br />
RHODES, GREECE<br />
WHO GOES: Guitar-playing surfer dudes<br />
Rhodes is the big daddy of the Dodecanese. And while<br />
it has its fair share of visitors it also has unspoiled<br />
landscapes and an intriguing culture in the labyrinthine<br />
back streets of the gorgeous Old Town. The most<br />
untouched beach is Prasonisi, a surfer’s paradise in the<br />
south that’s reachable only down long bumpy roads.<br />
Here, the Mediterranean and the Aegean part company,<br />
creating a magical sandy isthmus and some great<br />
conditions for riding the waves. Surfer dudes in camper<br />
vans congregate for chilled beach parties in the evenings,<br />
so listen out for the strumming of guitars.<br />

PLAYA CALAHONDA<br />
NERJA, COSTA DEL SOL, SPAIN<br />
WHO GOES: Locals and<br />
holidaying British families<br />
Nerja is the quieter, easterly<br />
stretch of the Costa del Sol.<br />
Here the beaches are awash<br />
with the scent of paella and<br />
there are no monstrous high<br />
rises. The heart of winding<br />
Nerja is the Balcón de<br />
Europa, a fabulous terrace<br />
that juts over the sapphire<br />
Med with wonderful views<br />
of the jagged coastline and<br />
the foothills of the Sierra<br />
Nevada. Playa Calahonda,<br />
a small and scenic fishing<br />
beach, is reached via a steep<br />

PLAYA DE SOTAVENTO<br />
FUERTEVENTURA, SPAIN<br />
Who goes: Windsurfers who want to get away<br />
Fuerteventura is the Canaries at its most tranquil, so if<br />
you come seeking the dusk-till-dawn antics of Tenerife,<br />
Lanzarote or Gran Canaria, you will be disappointed. This<br />
place is all about deserted coves and fishing villages, vast<br />
tracts of white sand caressed by rays, ultramarine lagoons<br />
hidden down rutted tracks. Playa de Sotavento, where the<br />
windsurfers flock, could be one of the most photographed<br />
beaches in Europe, yet is the most deserted. When the<br />
sun goes down, head north to the town of Corralejo for a<br />
tasty fish supper down by the harbour.<br />

BIDDEROSA BEACH<br />
OROSEI, SARDINIA<br />
WHO GOES: Nature lovers,<br />
seekers of the perfect<br />
secluded beach<br />
With more than 1,800km<br />
of exquisite coast,<br />
this isle is smug in the<br />
knowledge that it has the<br />
most translucent azure<br />
shallows in the Med – not<br />
to mention some amazing<br />
pearly white sands. The<br />
more famous Costa<br />
Smeralda stretches for<br />
55km in the north-east,<br />
and the unspoilt south<br />
coast has many deserted<br />
beaches. Bidderosa beach<br />
in the east is composed<br />
of five pristine coves. To<br />
get there, you have to walk<br />
4km through a nature<br />
reserve – and it’s well<br />
worth the trip.<br />

KILESAND BEACH<br />
SYD-KOSTER ISLAND, SWEDEN<br />
WHO GOES: Urban Swedes<br />
West Sweden’s tiny<br />
Koster Islands are flecks<br />
in the Skagerrak strait<br />
in Sweden’s first marine<br />
national park, Kosterhavet.<br />
Enticingly car-free, and<br />
bathed in endless summer<br />
light, the two islands are<br />
home to fishing villages,<br />
and are blissful places to<br />
spend a wallowy week<br />
swimming, sunbathing,<br />
and devouring salt-smoked<br />
mackerel. Often-deserted<br />
Kilesand beach is a<br />
kilometre-long sandy<br />
stretch framed by pine<br />
trees – great for cycling to<br />
with a picnic, past grassy<br />
meadows and red-painted<br />
houses along the way.<br />

The Algarve’s most<br />

rugged cliffs plunging to<br />
topaz-blue waters, this is a<br />
perfect place for learning<br />
to surf, taking walks<br />
through wild-flower-filled<br />
hinterlands, or just lying<br />
in the sun on the sandy<br />
shore. Small and secluded,<br />
Praia de Zavial, near<br />
Sagres, has everything you<br />
need for a lazy beach day,<br />
including a café nearby<br />
serving the best burgers<br />
in the Algarve. Even at<br />
the height of summer you<br />
won’t find crowds; it’s not<br />

accessible only by car.<br />

BARAFUNDLE BEACH<br />
PEMBROKESHIRE, SOUTH WALES<br />
WHO GOES: Families with active children<br />
This blissful corner of South Wales offers a sandy<br />
beach within reach of Bristol. The secluded beauty of<br />
Barafundle’s beach is bookended by limestone cliffs<br />
from which you can see bottlenose dolphins and basking<br />
sharks. Backed by forest and dune, it’s within the National<br />
Trust’s Stackpole Estate, a haven of farmland, lake,<br />
woodland and beach. Children will enjoy the lily ponds of<br />
the estate, home to otters, swans, ducks and more.<br />
It’s one of the loveliest spots in Wales.<br />

that few Croatian beaches<br />
are sandy, you’ll fall in love<br />
with their beachy blueprint:<br />
the secret cove of bluegreen<br />
shallows nestled<br />
between high rocks. Along<br />
the Makarska coast, south<br />
of Zadar, Brela is a full 6km<br />
of pebbly beach forming<br />
itself into private nooks and<br />
backed by shady pines and<br />

PLAGE DE TAHITI<br />
SAINT-TROPEZ, FRANCE<br />
WHO GOES: The<br />
beautiful people<br />
France’s most chi-chi<br />
coastal stretch, the Côte<br />
d’Azur, is primed for<br />
action in summer months,<br />
when the jet-set (and<br />
everyone else) descends<br />
for a dose of Riviera<br />
beach action. The coast<br />
has everything you need,<br />
from intimate rocky<br />
coves to long swathes<br />
of golden sands where<br />
it’s hard to find a free<br />
square to lay down your<br />
towel (though it’s more<br />
likely in these parts that<br />
you’ll be paying for a<br />
sunlounger and a parasol).<br />
The buzzy Plage de Tahiti<br />
was made famous by a<br />
pouting Brigitte Bardot in<br />
the 1960s, and has been<br />
playing off this vibe ever<br />
since. And why not?<br />

by cycling tourists<br />
in summer – is home<br />
to gorgeous villages full<br />
of seafood restaurants<br />
and markets selling<br />
fresh cheeses, fruits and<br />
seafood. The best beach<br />
is Conche des Baleines,<br />
tucked away in the southwest<br />
corner, a curve of<br />
creamy sand backed by<br />
grassy dunes. This spot is<br />
best enjoyed with a bottle<br />
of rosé when the sands<br />
are drenched in sunset<br />
light. There are busy cafés<br />
around its lighthouse,<br />
and you can cycle to the<br />
galleries and homewares<br />

in search of the “real”<br />
Mallorca, and the<br />
occasional celebrity<br />
Happy holidaymakers<br />
descend on Mallorca<br />
every year, but it’s still<br />
possible to find the perfect<br />
stretch of sand. Cala<br />
Formentor, a kilometrelong<br />
narrow strip of finest<br />
white on the Formentor<br />

a pleasant drive through<br />
Mallorca’s northern<br />

this is one of the island’s<br />

ES CODOLAR BEACH<br />
IBIZA, SPAIN<br />
WHO GOES: Grown-up<br />
party people, wellness<br />
gurus and Ibiza insiders<br />
Ibiza is the Balearic<br />
island of extremes. It is<br />
rocky yet covered in a<br />
thick spread of fragrant<br />
pines. It’s a party island<br />
and a rural haven of<br />
olive, fig and almond<br />
crops. If you’re looking<br />
for low-key insider Ibiza,<br />
your summer beach of<br />
choice should be Es<br />
Codolar. Yes, it is a pebble<br />
beach, but this serves the<br />
purpose of driving away<br />
the hordes. It is backed<br />
by the Ses Salines salt<br />
flats (making the water<br />
salty and buoyant) and<br />
a nature reserve full of<br />
brooding birds. And true<br />
to that tradition of Ibiza’s<br />
wonderful contrasts, it’s<br />
also home to Macao<br />
Cafe on the Rocks, a<br />
super-cool beach bar<br />
whose chilled-out dance<br />
music mingles with the<br />
sounds of breaking waves,<br />
serving great Italian food<br />
and cocktails.<br />

COLLIOURE<br />
LANGUEDOC, FRANCE<br />
WHO GOES: Art lovers and artists<br />
“In France there is no sky as blue as the one in<br />
Collioure,” said Henri Matisse. Matisse liked to wax<br />
lyrical about tiny, idyllic Collioure as its luminosity and<br />
general gorgeousness cured him of a bad case of artists’<br />
block (the village sells his prints and postcards in every<br />
shop and gallery). Being only 20 minutes from Spanish<br />
Catalonia, there are Catalan accents in the architecture<br />
of its harbour, and the Pyrénées loom in the near<br />
distance. Although Collioure is mobbed in August, during<br />
the French holidays, it’s still an exquisitely pleasant onestop-shop<br />
for lapping up good food, good art and natural<br />
beauty, laden as it is with seafood restaurants overlooking<br />
the bay, and small waterfront hotels from which you can<br />
dive directly into deep, clear, cobalt waters.<br />

In Cyprus, head west. You’ll find lush meadows, forests,<br />
sleepy monasteries and quiet beaches where turtles<br />
lay their eggs. Stay in Polis, a beach resort surrounded<br />
by citrus groves and looking across to the Akamas<br />

agro-tourism industry, with idyllic lodgings that exude<br />
authentic Greek-Cypriot hospitality.<br />

DOG’S BAY<br />
CLIFDEN, CONNEMARA, IRELAND<br />
WHO GOES: Wild-swimmers, hikers, romantics<br />
Connemara is the unspoilt gem of the west of Ireland, and Dog’s Bay and<br />
Gurteen Bay, lying back to back, are the best picks in the area for walking and<br />
swimming (if you can stand the Baltic temperatures). The mysterious thing<br />
about horseshoe-shaped Dog’s Bay is how its sands got so white (it’s actually<br />
because they are “foraminiferal”, or composed of seashells), and why its waters<br />
are of the palest turquoise (pass). Have lunch in the nearby town of Clifden,<br />
where there are little shops, art galleries, and pubs playing live music, and<br />
serving Guinness and oysters.<br />

When fashion stylist Lucie Lamster-<br />
Thury moved to Vienna from her<br />
native New York in 2004, it took<br />
her a while to truly discover its fashion scene.<br />
“There is no equivalent of Fifth Avenue here, and<br />
I really had my doubts about finding a fashion<br />
scene at all,” she tells me when I meet her at<br />
Vienna’s Phil (10–12 Gumpendorferstrasse,<br />
tel: +43 (0)1 581 0489, www.phil.info), a café/<br />
bookshop/library/record store.<br />
But that was then. Today, Lamster-<br />
Thury runs a shopping tour of the city for<br />
international visitors (www.shoppingwithlucie.<br />
com), and says she discovered what the locals<br />
already knew – that there is a stellar homegrown<br />
fashion scene centred around the city’s<br />
7th district.<br />
“A new shop is opening practically every<br />
month in the 7th,” she says. “It’s grown perhaps<br />
four times in size over just a few years, and there<br />
is a lot of amazing work.” Among the notable<br />
shops are Anita Steinwidder’s store Glanz &<br />
Gloria (77 Schottenfeldgasse, tel: +43 (0)650<br />
400 6091, www.glanzundgloria.at), known for<br />
edgy collections that use damaged factory<br />
materials; and Gina Drewes (5 Lindengasse, tel:<br />
+43 (0)699 1751 0510, www.ginadrewes.com).<br />
Drewes’ work is a mixture of wearable prêt-àporter<br />
and surreal haute couture.<br />
One of the driving forces working to get<br />
Viennese designers like these more global<br />
attention is an organisation called Unit F.<br />

Founded in 2000, its aim is to promote the<br />
Austrian fashion industry internationally. Its<br />
role is both to spot new design talent, and<br />
to offer practical assistance. Unit F director<br />
Andreas Oberkanins explains: “We filter<br />
through the extraordinary amount of talent in<br />
Austria and support designers over the longterm,<br />
providing them with financial aid, as well<br />
as contacts and networking opportunities, to<br />
help them establish themselves. The aim is not<br />
to compete with Paris or London – that’s not<br />
possible – but to try to create an alternative<br />
fashion city.” He says his biggest frustration<br />
is with some of the larger stores:“Austrian<br />
retailers do not stock Austrian fashion.<br />
Something has to be done about that.”<br />
As for how the new, young talents emerge<br />
in the first place, he adds: “A lot of the upand-coming<br />
designers graduated from the<br />
University of Applied Arts, where two decades<br />
ago a system of guest professorship was set<br />
up, and so you had guest teachers including<br />
Helmut Lang, Raf Simons and Vivienne<br />
Westwood leaving their mark.” The graduate<br />
show from the University of Applied Arts<br />
fashion is one of the highlights of Unit F’s<br />
annual Festival for Fashion and Photography<br />
(see box overleaf).<br />
I leave Oberkanins and go to meet fashion<br />
designer Anna Aichinger, a 2005 graduate of<br />
the University of Applied Arts, in her atelier on<br />

building down an old, narrow, very quiet street<br />
in the 1st district, just off Kärntnerstrasse. She<br />
tells me how receiving advice as a student<br />
from world-famous Belgian designer Raf<br />
Simons influenced her approach. “There was<br />
an emphasis on fashion being business. It<br />
was made clear that you can live and work in<br />
Vienna, but you have to think internationally,<br />
as well as an Austrian.” With that in mind,<br />
she doesn’t feel any need to leave her home<br />
country. “You can have a great life here, enjoy<br />
cheap rents and be a mere two hours from<br />
London, Paris and Milan. Strategically, it is a<br />
good place to be.”<br />
Aichinger is convinced that Austrian<br />
designers offer something unique. “There’s<br />
a contemporary translation of our great<br />
heritage of craftsmanship – the use of<br />
materials and quality of workmanship. You<br />
can see that in the work of most fashion<br />
designers here. There is an emphasis on<br />
“Quality matters<br />
— that is part of<br />
Austrian culture”<br />
quality over quantity. Quality matters – that is<br />
part of Austrian culture.”<br />
Someone who shares her sentiments is<br />
Barbara Denk, founder of 7tm (www.7tm.<br />
at), a fashion community in the 7th district<br />
that brings together 36 shops, and helps<br />
to market the district as a retail hot spot.<br />
“Historically it was a textile trading district,<br />
you can tell by the street names,” she says.<br />
“The fashion scene has established itself in<br />
the last six years or so and hasn’t stopped<br />
growing. Disaster Clothing [19 Kirchengasse,<br />
tel: +43 (0)1 524 1409, www.disasterclothing.<br />
at] and Gloom [75 Neubaugasse, tel: +43 (0)1<br />
523 8657, www.gloom.at] were the ones that<br />
started it all. They were the first shops in the<br />
district who sold Austrian fashion and small<br />
international designer brands.”<br />
But why did things start to happen here<br />
rather than in another part of the city? “The<br />
district has always attracted a certain type<br />

of tenant – students, Green Party voters, liberal types – and Neubaugasse<br />
has always been home to great shops. Its proximity to Mariahilferstrasse,<br />
the city’s main shopping street, and the 1st district, and the benefit of<br />
lower rents, made it fertile ground for such developments.”<br />
As for whether the 7th can continue to grow at this rate, Denk is unsure.<br />
“On the one hand rents are not getting cheaper, which could affect things;<br />
on the other hand there are still plenty of empty premises in the district<br />
and the market for quality, sustainable fashion is growing.” She is equally<br />
philosophical about Vienna’s international fashion standing. “Vienna is not<br />
a fashion city but it is becoming more professional,” she says.<br />
Something Denk and Lamster-Thury would both like to see is more<br />
international buyers at Vienna Fashion Week. On the positive side,<br />
Lamster-Thury points out: “Much more thought goes into how Vienna<br />
Fashion Week is done now than a few years ago. It is now held in the<br />
MuseumsQuartier rather than the inaccessible Messe, and anyone can<br />
go and buy a ticket. There is so much talent and potential here, and the<br />
fashion scene is still somehow underground, a well-kept secret. Vienna is<br />
special in that sense. I feel privy to something that is not yet global, that is<br />
unique and has a certain something. It’s a wonderful world to discover.”<br />

A<br />
couple of days before I left for<br />
Stockholm, Veerle, my rooftop tour<br />
guide, had sent me a pithy, one-line<br />
email: “Don’t forget your diaper.” Swedes are<br />
known for their dark sense of humour, but, as<br />
I inch along the edge of the Old Parliament’s<br />
roof, I can’t help but wonder if she really was<br />
joking. “See all those people,” Veerle smiles,<br />
as she points at a sea of bobbing blonde<br />
heads far below. “We are 43m above them!”<br />
My throat is bone dry, my palms soaking wet,<br />
and the nearest clean underwear is back in<br />
my hotel room at the Clarion Sign.<br />
Most European city tours don’t begin in<br />
the dusty loft of a centuries-old building, but<br />
then again this isn’t your typical leisurely jaunt<br />
around picturesque Stockholm. Our group<br />
of around 25 hardy souls meets on the tiny<br />
island of Riddarholm, a cobblestone’s throw<br />
from the fabled old-town district, Gamla Stan.<br />
From here the only way is up. After a short<br />
elevator ride to the top of the impressive<br />
former Riksdag, we each get a harness, a<br />
comprehensive safety talk, and a hefty dose<br />
of panic (at least, I do). Veerle, however,<br />
doesn’t do fear. Lean and athletic, she looks<br />
like she’s spent the last five years on the roof<br />
of the Old Parliament building in all weather,<br />
roaming about, carefree. Which, of course,<br />
she has.<br />
“Now you’re ready for the roof!” Veerle<br />
exclaims, slamming a white plastic hard<br />
hat onto my unwilling head, before politely<br />
but firmly ushering me towards the small<br />
staircase that leads directly onto the open<br />
roof. Strict safety rules are adhered to, and<br />
you have to be at least 1.5m (4.9ft) tall. But<br />
nevertheless my heart starts palpitating wildly<br />
as soon as I step out.<br />
Fear of heights is remarkably common,<br />
and acrophobia (unlike vertigo) is a purely<br />
psychological condition. However, most

sufferers aren’t in the habit of taking rooftop<br />
strolls on one of the Swedish capital’s most<br />
iconic buildings.<br />
Six floors up, the wind is noticeably stronger<br />
than it was back on terra firma. Already, I am<br />
regretting the horseradish schnapps knocked<br />
back after dinner in Matbaren the previous<br />
evening. Luckily, help is at hand. “You will be<br />
walking the dog,” Veerle says, as she attaches<br />
the cable that runs from my harness to a fixed<br />
line that follows a foot-wide metal catwalk. This<br />
pathway runs for 300m up, across and down the<br />
rooftop, covering roughly the same distance as<br />
a city block. If anything happens then the bulky<br />
safety cable connected to my harness will save<br />
my bacon – or at least that’s the plan.<br />
Our group is split into two – English and<br />
Swedish – and I file in at the back of the<br />
former, silent and rather sullen, looking for<br />
all the world like a reluctant miner. However,<br />
with a supporting rail to hang onto for dear life<br />
and our friendly guide, Inger, at the head of<br />
the troop, I begin to warm up (metaphorically<br />
speaking – it’s freezing on the roof). I also get<br />
to enjoy the spectacular views across one<br />
of Scandinavia’s, and indeed Europe’s, most<br />
breathtakingly beautiful cities.<br />
Stockholm is built on 14 separate islands in<br />
Riddarfjärden bay, where Lake Mälaren meets<br />
the Baltic Sea, and its nickname, the Venice<br />
of the North, is just about the only predictable<br />
thing about this diverse, exciting city. On the<br />
ground, Gamla Stan, which dates back to the<br />
13th century, is a warren of medieval alleyways<br />
and cobbled streets. From the air the old<br />
town is transformed into a huddled mass of<br />
traditional black roofs. Once home to about<br />
9,000 inhabitants, today barely 3,000 remain<br />
but the island still boasts some pretty influential<br />
residents. As Inger explains, the Swedish<br />
flag fluttering in the breeze over imposing<br />
Stockholm Palace signifies that the King is<br />

in Sweden, although even from 40m up it’s<br />
impossible to tell whether he is at home in his<br />
palatial pad or not.<br />
Shimmying along the roof a little further, the<br />
trendy Södermalm district comes into view.<br />
This old working-class neighbourhood has<br />
undergone a massive revival in the last 10–15<br />
years and today Söder (which means south)<br />
boasts a plethora of funky shops, hip bars<br />
and good restaurants. In fiction, it’s also home<br />
to Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon<br />
tattoo in Stieg Larsson’s best-selling Millennium<br />
Trilogy. Brave and pugnacious Lisbeth would<br />
make light work of a little rooftop ramble –<br />
unfortunately I am made of much weaker stuff.<br />
Creeping from the southern side of the Old<br />
Parliament building to the west, the handrail<br />
finishes. My nerve quickly follows suit. Despite<br />
the wind, beads of cold sweat begin to hang on<br />
my brow as I shuffle across the roof’s edge.<br />
“This is the tricky part, but don’t worry, it’s<br />
not too hard,” Inger says as she skips with<br />
nonchalant ease between the front and the<br />
back of our group. Everyone seems to agree,<br />
moving quickly along, stopping only to snap<br />
pictures and to chat to one another. Everyone<br />
except me. Beating a pace that a snail would<br />
be ashamed of, I try my best not to look down.<br />
I fail. Far below me, I watch a train disgorge<br />
passengers at Gamla Stan station. They seem<br />
so tiny, so far away. Dizzy, my pen slips from<br />
my clammy hand (what was I hoping to write –<br />
‘save me’?). It bounces down the roof, almost in<br />
slow motion, before silently falling six floors to<br />
the ground. If I couldn’t empathise with James<br />
Stewart’s character in Alfred Hitchcock’s<br />

Vertigo before, I certainly can now.<br />
In the distance, the three gold-plated crowns<br />
on the summit of the stately City Hall glisten in<br />
the evening light. Here, on 10 December every<br />
year, the Nobel Prize winners’ banquet is held.<br />
Unfortunately, I’m too busy concentrating on<br />
staring straight ahead to pay it much attention<br />
right now. “Don’t worry, you’re almost there,”<br />
Inger assures me, but the remaining track feels<br />
more like 40 miles than 40m. Resisting (just)<br />
the temptation to get down on my hands and<br />
knees and crawl to the finish line, I keep on<br />
walking. Slowly. Very slowly.<br />
The rest of my group have long finished<br />
by the time I limp home – some are standing<br />
around taking photographs of nearby<br />
Riddarholm Church, the venerable burial place<br />
of Swedish monarchs until 1950; others are<br />
already getting changed, but I don’t care. About<br />
45 minutes after we started I have completed a<br />
full circuit of the roof. And it feels amazing.<br />
“You did it!” Veerle exclaims, slapping me<br />
hard on the back. I smile broadly, trying not to<br />
look too proud. Out to the west the setting sun<br />
shimmers on the still waters of Riddarfjärden<br />
bay. It’s my first photograph from the roof.<br />
Half an hour later, minus the harness and<br />
the hard hat, I stop for a well-deserved glass<br />
of aquavit in a bar in Gamla Stan, to celebrate<br />
conquering my fear. From my seat at the<br />
window, the Old Parliament building is clearly<br />
visible. Clouded in semi-darkness, the roof<br />
now seems impossibly, frighteningly high. Was<br />
today a fantastic experience? Definitely. Did I<br />
leave my fear of heights behind in Stockholm?<br />

It’s 3.45am on a warm<br />
Friday in August, the<br />
time when most clubs in<br />
Europe are switching on<br />
the lights and telling you<br />
to drink up. But here on<br />
Zrce beach the party is<br />
just getting started.<br />
I’m in Papaya, one of<br />
the biggest clubs outside<br />
on the beachfront in<br />
this little corner of the otherwise tranquil Pag<br />
island – and I can’t believe I’m still going. But<br />
the warm air, happy vibes and the fact that I<br />
have nothing to in particular to do to worry<br />
about the next day gives me an energy buzz.<br />
In front of me, two girls in skimpy white<br />
bikinis are shaking their bums to the beat,<br />
their hands in the air, swinging their hair to the<br />
rhythm of the music. Despite their obvious sex<br />
appeal, nobody is looking because in front of<br />
them is a sea of tanned revellers, each dancing<br />
to a set by world famous DJ collective Swedish<br />
House Mafia. There are lasers shining above<br />
us, everybody’s jumping and the DJ trio of<br />
Steve Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso<br />
are scratching, fist-pumping and whipping the<br />
clubbers into a frenzy.<br />
“We love Croatia so much, we’re changing<br />
the lyrics,” they shout as they put on their<br />
number one party anthem Miami 2 Ibiza,<br />
inserting the words “and Pag” at the end of<br />
each line. The crowd goes wild.<br />
Pag is one of the largest islands in Croatia<br />
(although technically linked to the mainland<br />
by a road bridge), and one of hundreds in<br />
the Adriatic Sea. Pag’s Zrce beach, 3km from<br />
the town of Novalja – only an hour and 20<br />
minutes’ bus ride from Zadar – has become<br />
the summer party hub not only for Croatia’s<br />
youth but for thousands of clubbers from<br />
around the world, in search of sun, affordable<br />
prices and superstar DJs.<br />
The beach itself is simply gorgeous, nestled<br />
in a sheltered bay, with a 1km-long crescent<br />
of pebbles and excellent swimming in the<br />
turquoise blue waters. But it is the three big<br />
clubs, Papaya (www.papaya.com.hr), Kalypso<br />
and Aquarius (www.aquarius.hr), and a<br />
scattering of bars, that make Zrce the place to<br />
be from June until September – for DJs and<br />
punters alike. The likes of Armin van Buuren,<br />
Tiësto and Roger Sanchez all love playing here<br />
because the crowds are so into it.<br />
Beautifully designed Kalypso is built into the<br />
north end of the beach, with double beds to<br />
hang out on during the day and a sophisticated<br />
older crowd. Super-flash Aquarius is all alcoves<br />
and big sound. But it’s Papaya, with its separate<br />
terraced areas and open-air dance floor that<br />
holds the most decadent parties. Best of<br />
all, it never closes. Croatian law means they<br />
don’t have to, allowing for a truly hedonistic<br />
experience. DJs booked for summer <strong>2011</strong><br />

Festival in August.<br />
I’m here with a group of friends for a threeday<br />
party and have hooked up with a local<br />
clubbing guide who goes by the nickname<br />
M Diddy – his first name is Medo. The first<br />
thing he tells me on arrival at Zadar airport on<br />
Wednesday evening is: “You’ve got 72 hours of<br />
beach parties, after-beach parties, clubbing and<br />
sunrise parties. If you want to party 24/7 then<br />
you can.” M Diddy wasn’t lying.<br />
After the 90-minute journey he drops us<br />
off at our hired apartment – a basic four-bed<br />
right next to Zrce beach. It costs HRK4,000<br />
(€544) for a week, so split between five<br />
people it’s remarkably cheap. There are<br />
plenty more options to choose from too, and<br />
you can find great deals on the website of the<br />
island’s tourist board (www.pag-tourism.hr), or<br />
the website of the beach town Novalja (www.<br />
novalja.com).<br />
We waste no time, shower quickly and get to<br />
Zrce beach for 10pm to find the clubs pumping<br />
even though it’s relatively early. The absence<br />
of a kicking out time is just one of the many<br />
The absence of a kicking out time<br />
is just one of the many things that<br />
make this club so cool<br />
things that make Papaya and the rest of Zrce<br />
so cool – not to mention the gorgeous waiting<br />
staff, called ‘Angels’. Prices are more than<br />
reasonable too. A three-day pass to Papaya<br />
costs HRK258 (€35), and a table in the VIP<br />
area costs HRK750 (€102) per person and<br />
includes half a bottle of spirits, soft drinks<br />
and waitress service. At the bar you can get<br />
a pitcher of cocktails for HRK150 (€20), and<br />
you’ll pay no more than HRK15 (€2) for an<br />
ice-cold beer.<br />
So you can imagine Papaya is where I spend<br />
most of my time. The 5,000-capacity venue<br />
will suit all types of partygoers. Ravers can<br />
hang out on the huge dance floor practically<br />
on top of the DJ booth, with what is said to<br />
be the best sound system in Croatia; the VIP<br />
area overlooking the stage has great peoplewatching<br />
potential; and at the centre of the<br />
club there’s a huge pool with water slides.<br />

Girls in bikinis grind against boys in Speedos and<br />
tanned flesh is on display everywhere<br />
And it gets messy. By 6am I am starting to wobble, having danced for<br />
the last eight hours. So I return to the apartment for a nap but set the<br />
alarm for 10am – after all, we’re only here for three days and we <strong>may</strong> as<br />
well party as much as we can!<br />
So we head back to Papaya for a fruit cocktail on the beach, and I<br />
see some of the people I met from the night before still there and still<br />
partying – waterpistols are squirting, girls in skimpy bikinis are grinding<br />
against boys in Speedos and tanned flesh is on display everywhere.<br />
At 4pm every day the music is turned up and you enter the stage of<br />
the day officially known as the after-beach party. This is the time when<br />
DJs get back on the decks, and now it’s the turn of the Freemasons to<br />
make people dance. I’m tempted down from the VIP area to get sweaty<br />
in the main section, and get so lost in the moment that it’s 7pm before I<br />
know it. The house DJ gets back on the decks to keep the music going<br />
until the evening’s entertainment properly gets started again at 10pm.<br />
It’s madness!<br />
In fact you, could easily go a whole weekend without eating, as you<br />
barely think of your stomach when you’re having so much fun. But there<br />
are lots of choices of cheap, affordable eateries on Zrce beach and<br />
in nearby Novalja town. Close to the clubs you’ll find no shortage of<br />
fast-food venues, but branch out into Novalja and you’ll find cosy pizza<br />
trattorias with traditional ovens, and restaurants with grills to barbecue<br />

meat and freshly caught fish. A must-try<br />
delicacy is world-famous Pag cheese or “paški<br />
sir”, salty and sharp, made from free-range<br />
sheep’s milk, and served generally at the end<br />
of meals.<br />
Having eaten properly, we now have<br />
much more energy to see us through the<br />
next Thursday night into Friday morning. So<br />
much so that we make it to 8am before finally<br />
crashing out.<br />
From clubbing on land, we spend day three<br />
clubbing on a party boat and swimming,<br />
before hitting all three big clubs through the<br />
evening and staying on until dawn. Then,<br />
suddenly, it’s time to head back to Zadar<br />
airport. We’re a little the worse for wear in<br />
some ways – but a lot more tanned and on a<br />
natural high that keeps me going for days on<br />
my return home.<br />
There really is nowhere like Pag and Zrce<br />
beach, and I’ve partied in a lot of places. I’ve<br />
already booked my trip for this summer.<br />
Fast facts<br />

Tentazione<br />
IBIZA, SPAIN<br />
Housed inside a historic cave that is listed as classifi ed by UNESCO, this<br />
Italian-style ice-cream parlour, pizzeria and bar rolled into one is nestled<br />
on a pretty street in the centre of the old town of Ibiza. The ivy- and<br />
bougainvillea-clad exterior and pretty pavement terrace with seating for<br />
alfresco dining and drinking sets an intimate scene. Inside, the romantic<br />
mood continues with the cave walls and little alcoves offset by lilac and<br />
white furnishings, subtle lighting, pretty wall murals and contemporary<br />
paintings. To top it all off, there’s even a fountain trickling in the background.<br />
Take your pew up at the bar, where the bartender mixes a selection of<br />
exciting cocktails. There is also a well-stocked cellar of popular local wines<br />
to choose from and a tempting list of famous Italian aperitifs, such as<br />
Campari, Martini and Aperol as well as digestives, such as limoncello, amaro<br />
or grappa. Drop by during the day and you can satisfy your caffeine fi x with<br />
an aromatic Lavazza coffee, while enjoying a spot of people-watching from<br />
the terrace. But to simply stop for drinks and not indulge in the delicious<br />

Orecchio uses only fresh, locally sourced Italian produce and recipes on<br />
her menu. The fi lled swordfi sh alla Siciliana comes highly recommended,<br />
as does the sumptuous homemade pizzas and pasta dishes, such as the<br />
mezzelune (a semi-circular stuffed pasta) with parmigiana. And whether it’s<br />

Ouzou Melathron<br />
THESSALONIKI, GREECE<br />
There’s more to a holiday in Greece than visiting ancient monuments,<br />
museums, churches or lounging on the beach. There are other interesting<br />
places to go where you can gather some wonderful memories to take<br />
back home with you, such as traditional tavernas, bars and restaurants.<br />
And Ouzou Melathron is just such a place that will give you a real taste<br />
of Greece. For 18 years this rustic ouzeri, one of the oldest and best<br />
known traditional tavernas in town, has been attracting locals and tourists<br />
alike to sip ouzo, munch on meze, listen to Greek music and soak up<br />
the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re feeling peckish during<br />
your night out, meze dishes are great for sharing and the perfect way to<br />
sample local Greek cuisine in a laidback atmosphere. The chefs at Ouzou<br />
Melathron use only quality ingredients to create tasty, traditional and<br />
varied Mediterranean recipes that are reworked in the restaurant’s own<br />
inimitable and ingenious way – you won’t fi nd any French fries here! If the<br />
names of the dishes sound strange, don’t worry – the helpful and friendly<br />
staff are only too happy to explain what delicacies are in store for you.<br />
Baked Manouri cheese with peppers and ham is a good starter followed<br />
by lamb chops in red wine and rosemary sauce all washed down with a<br />
glass or two of ouzo. And the great news is that the prices are extremely<br />
reasonable so you can enjoy a night out here without breaking your<br />
budget. Ouzou Melathron is open every day from 1pm until 1am, so drop<br />
in, stimulate your senses and experience a true taste of Thessaloniki.<br />

If the recent spell of good weather is<br />
anything to go by, then it’s time to<br />
start getting in shape ready to bare<br />
(nearly) all in your bikini<br />
Helene Nielsen attributes<br />
her weight loss to the Chili<br />
Burn tablet<br />
Now that the fi rst signs of summer<br />
are well and truly here it’s time to<br />
start digging out your lighter, brighter<br />
wardrobe. But are you are desperate to shed<br />
some kilos before shedding those layers?<br />
Helene Nielsen struggled with being<br />
overweight for years before she came across<br />
a revolutionary new pill, the Chili Burn, which<br />
has enabled her to ditch her excess weight and<br />
drop dress sizes.<br />
“I enjoy good food and the odd glass of<br />
wine, but I was never a lazy person. I am<br />
very active and fi nd it extremely unfair that<br />
people with a good metabolism can eat almost<br />
anything,” says Helene, who struggled<br />
for years with being overweight and felt<br />
that her bulging stomach made her<br />
look pregnant.<br />
Then Helene read an article about<br />
the new Chili Burn tablets. “I already<br />
knew that eating<br />
chillies gives the body<br />
a kick and creates heat.<br />
When I read that the tablets<br />
were made with only natural<br />
ingredients, I went to my nearest health food<br />
store and purchased a pack,” she reveals.<br />
That was a few months ago and as well as<br />
taking the tablets daily Helene has reduced<br />
her calorie intake, but the results are already<br />
starting to show. “Finally I have found the thing<br />
that works for me. I am loosing weight and<br />
it looks like its staying down. I am also down<br />
a couple of dress sizes. I feel fantastic<br />
and my stomach is fl at again. And<br />
I no longer suffer from bloating<br />
and constipation,” she says clearly<br />
delighted with the outcome.<br />
“Chili Burn has been a fantastic<br />
and positive experience for me. I had<br />
RYANAIR INFLIGHT PROMOTION<br />
almost forgotten how happy you can be when<br />
looking really good. I will continue taking the<br />
tablets as I want the weight to stay off.”<br />

of tradition and expertise<br />
Conservas Ortiz, a family owned<br />
Company producing high quality canned<br />
fish and seafood for 5 generations.<br />
Since 1891, Ortiz prepares in its factory of Ondarroa, in the Bay<br />
of Biscay, Bonito del Norte cans, with pole and line caught white<br />
tuna fi shed one by one during the summer season.<br />
A few years later, Ortiz started to produce high quality anchovy<br />
cans, cured in saltwater barrels and then packaged. We continue<br />
to work using artisan methods, taking care to preserve the art of<br />
fi shing, the origin and the freshness of the fi sh.<br />
In order to guarantee the highest quality, we prepare our<br />
canned fi sh using strict traditional methods which have given<br />
us a prestigious image and international recognition.<br />
Ortiz Bonito del Norte: pole and line<br />

Ortiz Anchovies, Always prepared by hand<br />
Ortiz Anchovies are fi shed during springtime<br />
and are always prepared fresh in order to<br />
maintain their fl avour. They are aged in saltwater<br />
barrels for a minimum of 6 months. Once the<br />
anchovies are properly preserved, they are either<br />
packaged whole in salt water, or hand fi lleted<br />
one by one and packaged in olive oil.<br />
Tricks to enjoy and preserve the anchovies<br />
- Before opening, keep them refrigerated:<br />
it will guarantee their unique fl avour<br />
and texture.<br />
- Once opened, keep refrigerated with the<br />
anchovies fully covered in olive oil.<br />
- The olive oil <strong>may</strong> solidify in the fridge:<br />
Keep the anchovies at room temperature<br />
for a few minutes and they will return<br />
to normal.<br />
- Enjoy the anchovies in your salad: Add<br />
them at the last minute and use them as salt!<br />
- To dress your salad, use the olive oil from<br />
the tin.<br />

Clockwise from top: hop aboard a<br />
Finnlines ferry to cruise around the Baltic<br />
sea; delicious food is served on board;<br />

Cruise control<br />
For a summer holiday with a diff erence, a cruise round the Baltic Sea<br />
ticks all the boxes. Finnlines shows you how to fi nd your sea legs<br />
With summer in the air and winter a<br />
distant memory, it’s time to plan<br />
your next getaway. And this year,<br />
why not kick off those fl ipfl ops and put on your<br />
deck shoes? Take to the water and travel across<br />
the magnifi cent Baltic Sea by modern passenger<br />
ferry. Chill out and admire the sea views before<br />
stopping off at ports in countries as diverse<br />
and interesting as Finland, Germany, Poland,<br />
Sweden, Latvia and Russia.<br />
Leading cargo and passenger ferry operator<br />
Finnlines offers a comfortable solution for<br />
your Baltic cruise. Let the ferry take the strain<br />
so the only driving you’ll need to do is when<br />
you disembark at your destination, ready to<br />
explore by foot, car, mobile home, motorbike or<br />
bicycle. And for those who don’t want to drive,<br />
the advantage of a joining a cruise is that you<br />
can travel without a motor vehicle by fl ying<br />
with Ryanair to one destination country, cruise<br />
around the Baltic, then fl y back from another.<br />
There are no tour guides here, you just go<br />
as the mood takes you, exploring the lakes of<br />
Finland, visiting historic Gdynia and Gdansk in<br />
Poland, enjoying great shopping in Malmö or<br />
in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, or soaking up<br />
beautiful St Petersburg, Russia.<br />
Being on board is as much fun as being on<br />
dry land: the cabins are comfortable, the food<br />
in the buffet restaurant is second to none and,<br />
depending on the vessel, there’s free use of the<br />
gym, sauna and hot tub, plus there’s shopping<br />
or having a relaxing drink at the bar – at very<br />
RYANAIR INFLIGHT PROMOTION<br />
reasonable prices. When it’s sunny, grab a deck<br />
chair and soak up the rays while gazing at the<br />
stunning scenery. For youngsters, there are<br />
games and playrooms to keep them amused.<br />
There’s a wide choice of cabins at different<br />
prices, ranging from standard size to 38m2 suites,<br />
but rest assured, all are comfortable.<br />
To top it all off, Finnlines’ new modern online<br />
booking system makes your travel arrangements<br />
straight forward.<br />

El Soplao<br />
a unique cave<br />
One of the big attractions in Cantabria<br />
(a little region located in the north<br />
of Spain) is El Soplao. This cave<br />
is considered to be one of the world’s great<br />
geological treasures and, confi rming its<br />
great appeal, since its opening in 2005 it has<br />
become a tourist attraction that receives<br />
around 300,000 visitors per year.<br />
It is not the biggest or longest of the 6,500<br />
caves that are known in Cantabria, but the<br />
eccentric concretions and the spectacular<br />
nature of its geological formations make it<br />
unique and worthy of nicknames like ‘The<br />
Cathedral of World Geology’ or the ‘Sistine<br />
Chapel of Geology’.<br />
THE CAVE<br />
The cave, located in a natural setting of great<br />
beauty, has been known since the late 19th<br />
Century due to the tapping of the La Florida<br />
mines, but its interior is also home to a true natural<br />
‘paradise’ made up of incredible formations.<br />
El Soplao is a unique and unrepeatable<br />
cave, a leading site in world speleology.<br />
Its interior constitutes a geological and<br />
speleological wonder of international<br />
importance, with large surface areas covered<br />
in aragonite, suspended ceilings, gours,<br />
stalactites and eccentric stalagmites which<br />
create an interplay of light and shadows,<br />
sensations, colours and smells.<br />
The cave is of great universal signifi cance<br />
given that, aside from its high environmental<br />
value, it is of extremely high aesthetic value,<br />
resulting from its abundant and complex array<br />
of eccentric formations, unparalleled in the<br />
subterranean world.<br />
The cave’s ‘false fl oor’ is an area<br />
considered by speleologists to be the ‘Sistine<br />
Chapel’ of the underground world due to<br />
its grandeur, layout and preservation. The<br />
eccentrics coexist in perfect harmony with<br />
a unique universe of vertical formations<br />
(stalactites and stalagmites) and outfl ows of<br />
multiple colours. The pisoliths are another<br />
notable feature, better known as cave pearls.<br />
There are two different organised visits to the<br />
cave, a tourist tour and a tourist-adventure tour:<br />
The tourist tour visits 1.500 metres of the cave,<br />
down the La Gorda and Los Fantasmas passages.<br />
This tour is accessible for disabled persons.<br />
The tourism-adventure tour is especially<br />
designed for the more adventurous to explore for<br />
three kilometres into the cave.<br />
SOPLAO TERRITORY<br />
The complex, in addition to the cave, includes<br />
a Visitor Reception Centre, the mining train<br />
and the Prado Collao walking area, which links<br />
up to the Florida elevation and a spectacular<br />
outdoor sculpture collection, created by<br />
various contemporary artists who gave<br />
expression to their own personal interpretation<br />
of the cave.<br />
Another big attraction on a visit to Soplao is<br />
the spectacular landscape that can be enjoyed<br />
from the top of the sierra, either by taking<br />
advantage of the walking area or from the<br />
viewpoints outside the cave.<br />
BLUE AMBER, FOSSILISED GEMS<br />
OVER 110 MILLION YEARS OLD<br />
The amber deposit found in the Territorio<br />
Soplao is now the one of its kind in the world<br />
and the most important in the world from<br />
the Cretaceous period. According to the<br />
researchers working on this deposit, it was<br />
formed 110 million years ago by a palaeofi<br />
re, which explains the unusual abundance of<br />
pieces found in it, as well as the blue-purple<br />
colour that most of them display.
AROUND EL SOPLAO<br />
The whole of the cave El Soplao is located in<br />
the Sierra de Arnero mountain range, which in<br />
turn is located in the range of Sierra del Escudo<br />
de Cabuérniga, in the Saja-Nansa region.<br />
The Sierra de Arnero runs parallel with the<br />
coast and is fl anked on the east by the valley<br />
of the river Bustriguado until Bielba, and on the<br />
west by the valley of the river Nansa. Its highest<br />
peaks are those of Castro Rubio (682 mts.)<br />
located in the central part, Pico Hugón (642<br />
mts.) to the west and Mount Castillo (490 mts.)<br />
is the most easterly peak of the mountain range.<br />
There are splendid views of Peña Sagra,<br />
Naranjo de Bulnes, Pico Tres Mares, the Cuera<br />
mountain range and the Cantabrian Sea from<br />
El Soplao. From the high ground of La Florida<br />
there are views of Ría de San Vicente de la<br />
Barquera, Oyambre and Comillas.<br />
The Saja-Nansa region, within the Cantabria<br />
Infi nita destination, has recently been declared<br />
an “Eco-museum”, that is, it will be preserved<br />
intact due to its high ecological value. It is<br />
located between the coast and the Escudo<br />
mountain ranges of Cabuérniga, Barcena<br />
Mayor, Cordel and Peña Sagra, and includes the<br />
protected areas of the Oyambre Nature Reserve<br />
and the Saja National Reserve. Dominated<br />
by peace and tranquillity with an exuberance<br />
of nature. The landscape is dominated by the<br />
craggy curves and contours. It includes the<br />
valleys of Nansa and Cabuérniga, and is an area<br />
with its own personality within the region.<br />
The coastal strip which runs from Unquera to<br />
San Vicente de la Barquera is characterised by<br />
the intense Inter-relationship between fi shing and<br />
cattle rearing. The sea penetrates the land via the<br />
estuaries of Tina Mayor, Tina Menor and San<br />
Vicente, enriching the landscape and customs. It is<br />
the best-preserved stretch of the Cantabrian coast,<br />
with a large protected natural space called the<br />
Oyambre Nature Reserve. It is a paradise for ecotourism,<br />
or rural and active holidays and it also has<br />
a signifi cant historical and artistic heritage.<br />
There are large expanses of oak, beech and<br />
birch forests which in the spring, summer and<br />
especially in the autumn fi ll the landscape with<br />
an array of surprising colours. With regard to<br />
the wildlife, there is an abundance of deers, roe<br />
deers, wild boars and foxes and in the more<br />
remote and solitary areas it is common to fi nd<br />
wolves and occasionally bears. Fowl species<br />
include vultures, capercaillies and royal eagles,<br />
RYANAIR INFLIGHT PROMOTION<br />
although the kestrel and kite are more common.<br />
Autumn brings the “bellow” of the deer, a time<br />
when the mating call of the stags can be heard,<br />
and the “pasá” (passage), when herds of cows<br />
from Tudanca - a native species from this<br />
region – return to the high pasturelands.<br />

Costa Daurada,<br />
golf and diversity<br />
T<br />
he Costa Daurada enjoys a privileged<br />
climate all year round thanks to its<br />
geographic location in the heart of<br />
the Mediterranean area. This climate, with<br />
mild winters and warm summers that are ideal<br />
for enjoying its coastline of shallow waters and<br />
beaches of fi ne golden sand, makes playing<br />
golf a memorable experience all year round.<br />
Five golf clubs and six pitch and putts<br />
guarantee variety, all made possible by the<br />
special landscape of the Costa Daurada. In<br />
recent years, the options for playing golf in the<br />
area have grown gradually, both in terms of<br />
quantity and quality.<br />
To complement its great golf, the Costa<br />
Daurada boasts, not only a beautiful coastline,<br />
but valuable cultural and heritage assets. These<br />
include the monuments of the ancient Roman<br />
Tarraco, Tarragona, the Cistercian monasteries<br />
of Poblet and Santes Creus, and the modernist<br />
heritage of the city of Reus. There’s also<br />
quality gastronomy, complemented by a varied<br />
offer in wines, endorsed by fi ve denominations<br />
of origin. There are many opportunities for<br />
golfers to enjoy complementary activities<br />
during their stay. Moreover, if they are<br />
accompanied by relatives or friends who don’t<br />
play golf, the latter can enjoy the sights of the<br />
Costa Daurada – or, why not try the sport for<br />
the fi rst time?<br />
COSTA DAURADA GOLF AND PITCH AND<br />
PUTT DESTINATION ASSOCIATION<br />
This Association seeks to publicise the area<br />
as a golf and pitch and putt destination, with<br />
complementary activities.<br />
It stages sports events, including golf and<br />
pitch and putt events, on the courses on the<br />
Costa Daurada, as well as promoting other<br />
activities available in the area. That includes<br />
organising gastronomic and wine-tasting<br />
routes to restaurants and wineries in the area,<br />
as well as cultural excursions to some of the<br />
main heritage sites on the Costa Daurada.<br />
It aims to collaborate closely with hotel and<br />
tourist offi ces in the area, and participate in<br />
fairs that specialise in the golf and pitch and<br />
putt product. Visit www.cdgolf.es for more<br />
details on how to make the most of your trip.<br />

ONLINE CHECK IN AND PRIORITY BOARDING<br />
All passengers now check-in online using Ryanair’s<br />
Check’N’Go service up to 15 days prior to fl ight<br />
departure, making it easier than ever before to avoid<br />
airport check-in queues. The Online Check-in system<br />
is now available in 10 languages, so it’s never been<br />
easier to avoid airport queues and check in from the<br />
comfort of your own home.<br />
Check out www.ryanair.com for more details on<br />
priority boarding to avoid even more queues next<br />
time you fl y.<br />
WHY DOES RYANAIR BLOCK OFF<br />
SEATS ONBOARD?<br />
Due to performance limits set down by Boeing,<br />
Ryanair are required to block off seats onboard<br />
when the number of passengers on board falls<br />
below a specifi ed number – this ensures that the<br />
weight of passengers and bags carried is correctly<br />
distributed in front of and behind the aircraft’s<br />
centre of gravity.<br />

HOW DO WE COMPARE?<br />
RYANAIR: EUROPE’S GREENEST<br />
AND CLEANEST AIRLINE<br />
Aviation accounts for just 2% of CO2<br />
emissions, far less than power generation<br />
(26%) or road transport (18%).<br />
Passengers who choose Ryanair are doing<br />
their bit by fl ying with Europe’s greenest<br />
and cleanest airline. Since 1998 Ryanair has<br />
invested over $10bn in new aircraft and now<br />
operates the youngest most fuel effi cient<br />
fl eet of any major airline in Europe, a fact<br />
recently confi rmed by the Dutch Consumer<br />
Organisation in its recent study of 33<br />
European airlines.<br />
As a result of this investment and<br />
technological advances in aircraft design,<br />
Ryanair has reduced its fuel burn and CO2<br />
emissions per passenger kilometre by 52%<br />
since 1998. In short, aviation accounts for just<br />
2% of CO2 emissions and within this sector,<br />
passengers can do no better than choosing<br />
Ryanair, the greenest, cleanest and most<br />
environmentally effi cient airline.<br />

GET EXPERIENCED!<br />
Have you ever experienced what it feels like to be bottled<br />
and brewed like your favourite bottle of beer?<br />
Get Experienced and visit the Heineken Experience in the city centre<br />
of Amsterdam, hometown of the world famous brand. In the former<br />
brewery you will experience the brand like nowhere else! Get to know<br />
the history, the brewing process, play interactive games, bottle your<br />
own personalized Heineken beer and taste the beer with other<br />
Heineken fans from all over the world.<br />
The Heineken Experience is located in the heart of Amsterdam in the<br />
fi rst Heineken brewery, which was built in 1867. Until 1988, when a more<br />
modern, larger facility was constructed on the outskirts of the city, the<br />
building served as the company’s primary brewing facility.<br />
In 1991 the brewery opened to the public for tours and as a visitor<br />
centre. Known as the “Heineken Treat and Information Centre”, it grew<br />
to become one of Amsterdam’s most popular tourist attractions.<br />
By 2001 the visitor centre changed its name to “Heineken Experience”<br />
and in 2008 the attraction was extensively remodelled and expanded.<br />
Branding expert Bob Rogers of BRC Imagination Arts explains the idea<br />
behind the renovation. “We wanted to bring back the connection with<br />
beer-making, and the history of Heineken, to help people see it, touch it,<br />
taste it.”<br />
With four levels of historical artefacts, product exploration and sampling,<br />
and interactive exhibits which employ the latest high-tech multi-media<br />
technologies, the Heineken Experience aims to educate the public on<br />
the process of brewing pilsner and to bring the Heineken product and<br />
brand to life.<br />
In other words: when you visit Amsterdam (approx. 80<br />
minutes travel from Eindhoven Airport by train or car)<br />
do come by and Get Experienced!<br />
Open Monday - Sunday from 11:00 till 19:00hrs.<br />
Last entree and ticket sales 17:30hrs. Persons under 18<br />
are only admitted under guidance of an adult.<br />

AWARDS<br />
The Heineken Experience was<br />
awarded the 2010 TEA award for<br />
outstanding achievement in the<br />
themed entertainment industry.<br />
And in the second half of 2010 they<br />
received the ‘Best Tourist Attraction<br />
of Amsterdam’. An award organized<br />
by ‘Welcome Amsterdam!’ and Time<br />
Out Magazine’ and more importantly<br />
chosen by the tourists in Amsterdam.<br />
With almost 450.000 visitors last year,<br />
the Heineken Experience is truly one<br />
of the top 5 must see attractions<br />
in Amsterdam.
