48 hours in the life of Madrid

Article Abstract:

It is particularly worthwhile visiting Madrid, Spain, in the early part of the year, when there are few tourists in the city. It is possible to reach Madrid very cheaply by air from the UK, and there is a wide range of accommodation in the city. The key destination is Gran Via, where there are many interesting shops and public buildings. It is worth visiting the Prado, which has top quality collections of works by Velazquez, Goya and El Greco. Interesting restaurants include La Toscana, where good food is available at very reasonable prices.

48 hours in Jerusalem

Article Abstract:

It is particularly worthwhile visiting Jerusalem, Israel, at Easter, when the city attracts many pilgrims and the weather can be very pleasant. There is a walled Old City, which is divided into quarters by religion, and this is surrounded by the main streets in Jewish west Jerusalem and Arab east Jerusalem. The city is extremely complex, and it is easy for visitors to become confused. However, it is worth making the effort to explore the Old City, where there are many cafes and significant religious sites.

The city's other attractions include coffee houses, the Prater amusement park and St Stephen's cathedral.
