FRANKFURT HOTELSFrankfurt is often seen only as a transit
hub or a business centre, but it's so much more. It boasts Germany's
most spectacular skyline, mirrored in the Main River, and Europe's
tallest office building. It's also the country's most international
town; more than a quarter of its citizens are foreign. Frankfurt

MADRID HOTELSMadrid has been the capital of Spain since
1562. Its southern and elevated location allows for warm, dry
summers and cool winters, making for excellent traveling weather all
year round. As a tourist destination, Madrid is underrated with its

trendy and cosmopolitan buildings. In contrast, the old areas twist
and wind with quaint streets and relaxed cafes, creating a
less-known, but no less pleasurable vacation. The city offers many
interesting museums, with the world-famous Prado National Museum
leading the way with massive collections of Goya and Velằuez.

PRAGUE HOTELSPrague is the capital city of Czech Republic.
Prague has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in
Europe. No other European capital contains six hundred years of
architecture so completely untouched by natural disaster or war.
Prague's rich collection of Gothic, baroque, and Renaissance
buildings has emerged unscathed from centuries of strife. Central
Prague is made up of four towns, joined together in 1784. The River
Vltava (Moldau in German) divides the capital into two unequal
halves: on the steeply inclined left bank, are Hradcany and
Mal᠓trana (the Lesser Quarter) Over the river, on the right bank,
Star頍esto (Old Town) is a web of alleys and passageways centered on
the city's most beautiful square, Staromestsk頮᭥sti. Enclosed within
the boundaries of Star頍esto is Josefov, the old Jewish quarter, now
containing only a few synagogues and a cemetery. Nov頍esto (New
Town), the focus of the modern city, covers the largest area, laid
out in long wide boulevards, the most famous of which is Wenceslas
Square.

life. The heart of the capital city of Belgium lies inside a circle

circle on foot, by bus, or by tram. For areas outside it, there is
an excellent subway system. The most dramatic post World War II
structure is the Atomium, which is modeled on a molecule of iron.

contrast with the elaborately decorated baroque guild halls that
surround it. "One of the most beautiful town squares in Europe, if
not in the world", is a phrase often heard when visitors in Brussels
try to describe the beauty of this central market square.The

metropolis with efficiency and aplomb. Milano is the country's
economic engine room, home to Italy's stock market and business
centres. This stylish city is also the world's design capital and
rivals Paris as a leading fashion centre. Shopping is of almost
religious significance. Theatre and cinema flourish in this
fashionable milieu, as does a hopping club scene and a slew of
tempting restaurants. Apart from a few gems, the city is not

galleries, many housed in former palaces, are home to a host of
significant works that include da Vinci's Last Supper.

NIAGARA FALLS HOTELSThe majestic rumble of the falls can be
heard from miles away, but the sight itself never fails to cause the
viewer to pause and gaze in wonder at the 600,000 gallon per second
mass of hissing, frothing water crashing over a 170 foot cliff amid
huge clouds of spray and mist. The Rainbow Bridge, the Queenston
Bridge and the Bridge Street Bridge each span the distance between
the cities of Niagara Falls, New York, USA and Niagara Falls,
Ontario, Canada: two totally different worlds. In New York State,
the area beyond Niagara Falls is filled with the charm and beauty of
small rural towns. A State Park and a large industrial area of the
Niagara Falls, New York border the falls. In the City of Niagara
Falls, Ontario (the Canadian side) can be found acre after acre of
meticulously landscaped lawns and a profusion of colorful flower
beds, all open at no charge to the public. There has been a
tremendous building boom in recent years especially in the Oakes
Drive and Fallsview area. Hotels have been constructed, existing
facilities modernized, and emphasis placed on esthetically pleasing
architecture that blends with the incredibly beautiful natural
features. One street, Clifton Avenue, retains a carnival midway
atmosphere, but there is a definite advantage to having all of the
congestion and glitz confined to one minute area. Controlled and
planned growth have prevented the proliferation of this type of
attraction elsewhere.
