Visit Geneva And Experience Its Natural and Cultural Beauty


Located at the western end of Lac Leman, with France just a mile away, Geneva’s skies are always painted with the silhouettes of snow-capped mountains, and as for the city, its always bustling with international diplomats and tourists. If you wish to visit Geneva here are a list of attractions that you mustn’t miss:
Lake Geneva
The lake is the undisputed star of Geneva. With a backdrop of the Alps, the lake is the background for many of the divinest city views. You can get from one part of the city to another on its Mouettes Genevoises, motor-launches that have travelled between lakeside quays since 1897. If you are looking to just get a taste of the lake then opt for a trip on one of the paddle steamers.

Temple de Saint-Pierre
Dating back to 1150, the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, the Romanesque church is situated at the peak of Geneva's old town, features some Gothic essentials. During the Protestant Reformation, in which Geneva frolicked a significant role, the name was changed to Temple de Saint-Pierre. John Calvin preached sermons here from 1536 to 1564, and his followers brought the altars to its bare bones, stripping it of its art, and sculptures, leaving only the engraved capitals and the stained glass from its original ornamentation.

Jardain Botanique
Southeast of the Ariana, between the Avenue de la Paix and the Chemin de l'Impératrice, you'll find Geneva's botanical garden, established in 1902 to swap a smaller one in the Parc des Bastions. Its glasshouse conservatories, gardens, and conservatoire cover about 28 hectares and showcases more than 12,000 species of plants and trees. An Alpine Garden displays plants from Switzerland's high elevations, and the herbarium is one of the largest in the world, with six million samples. A small animal area comprises fallow deer and Peacocks and additional wildlife.

Musee d’Art et d’Histoire
One of Switzerland's three main museums, Geneva's Musée d'Art et d'Histoire owes its extraordinary assortments to the union of several regional museums, with additional contributions from private collectors. The outcome covers the fields of applied and fine art and archaeology, with a collection of weapons, Greek and Roman art riches, Middle Eastern and Eastern Mediterranean antiquities, Roman and Etruscan pottery, and Egyptian funerary art.

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles.

Visit the Stavropoleos Monastery and Cotroceni Palace by Cryptocurrency hotel booking at XcelTrip

Image
Cotroceni Palace This palace has a fascinating history. It began as a monastery in the 17th century, after which it became the summer residence of King Carol I. Constructed from 1888-93 at the behest of Romania's first king, Carol I, Cotroceni Palace has since 1991 been the official residence of the Romanian President. Built on the site of a former monastery (the foundations and cellars of which remain, and form part of the tour of the palace), the palace was designed by a French team of architects, led by Paul Gottereau. The design would form something of a blueprint for Romanian domestic architecture for years to come. It served as the Bucharest residence of the Romanian royal family until 1939. The part that serves today as the president's office, and official home, however, was added after the great Bucharest earthquake of 1977, and bears the stamp of local architect Nicolae Vladescu. Part of the palace is open to the public, and can be visited on a tour.
