washington dc


Washington, D.C formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the Territory of Columbia until an act of Congress in 1871 effectively merged the City and the Territory into a single entity called the District of Columbia. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C. The city shares its name with the U.S. state of Washington, which is located on the country's Pacific coast.

The city is located on the north bank of the Potomac River and is bordered by the states of Virginia to the southwest and Maryland to the other sides. The District has a resident population of 599,657; because of commuters from the surrounding suburbs, its population rises to over one million during the workweek. The Washington Metropolitan Area, of which the District is a part, has a population of 5.3 million, the ninth-largest metropolitan area in the country.

SANTA MARIA


Today’s tourist with the best way to visit Santa Maria della Salute, a soaring baroque structure unlike any other. She sits at the entrance to Venice, at the terminus of the Grand Canal, like some great lady on the threshold of her salon. In 1630, a plague had struck Venice taking over a quarter of its citizens to early graves. In the midst of this horror, the Venetian Senate made a pact with God, “Stop the plague and we will build a church to honor the Virgin.” The plague came to a sudden end, and the Senate set about honoring its promise by awarding a construction contract to an unknown 26-year-old architect, Baldassare longhena. Longhena’s stunning interior contains many glorious works of art, including two of Titian's greatest paintings, "the Pentecost” and “St. Mark Enthroned with Other Saints.” The Sacristy houses an additional wealth of Titian paintings as well as the work of other artists, including one of Tintoretto’s most famous paintings, the “Wedding at Cana.” This carefully researched tour guides you through the basilica pointing out and describing the most significant artworks and other historic treasures.

tourist attrection in BRAZIL


Brazil, a wonderful South American nation, is known for a lot – its most colorful Rio de Janeiro Carnaval, its famous football tradition, its most vibrating music and samba dance, and many more. And it is truly an exciting experience to explore the variety of tourist attractions in Brazil.

There are a number of major tourist attractions in Brazil. Chalk out your plan beforehand in order to make your tour to Brazil a really memorable one. You can visit the destinations at your own, or else, you can also go for some package tours. Plenty of Brazil packages are available; you just need to choose one that suits you the most.

BRAZILVACATION-RIODEJANERIO


Brazil's recorded history begins with the arrival of the Portuguese in 1500, although it had been discovered and settled by Indians many centuries before. The importation of millions of African slaves over the next four centuries completed the rich blend of European, Indian and African influences that formed modern Brazil and its people. Achieving independence from Portugal in 1822, Brazil's enormous wealth in land and natural resources underpinned a boom-and-bust cycle of economic development that continues to the present day. The eternal "Land of the Future" is still a prisoner of its past, as industrialization turned Brazil into the economic giant of South America, but sharpened social divisions. After a twenty-year interlude of military rule, the civilian "New Republic" has struggled, with some success, against deep-rooted economic crisis and has managed to consolidate democracy. Although social divisions remain, the current economic and political outlook is the best it has been for a generation

Palacio de Bellas Artes


The Palacio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts) is the most important cultural center in Mexico City as well as the rest of the country of Mexico.[1] It is located on the west side of the historic center of Mexico City next to the Alameda Central park. The first National Theater of Mexico was built in the late 19th century, but it was soon decided to tear this down in favor of a more opulent building in time for Centennial of the Mexican War of Independence in 1910. The initial design and construction was undertaken by Italian architect Adamo Boari in 1904, but complications arising from the soft subsoil and the political problem both before and during the Mexican Revolution, hindered then stopped construction completely by 1913. Construction began again in 1932 under Mexican architect Federico Mariscal and was completed in 1934. The outside of the building is primarily Art Nouveau and the interior is primarily Art Deco. The building is best known for its murals by Diego Rivera, Siqueiros and others, as well as the many exhibitions and theatrical performances its hosts, including the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico.[2]

Region of Spain


SpainSpain is not the second most visited country in the world for nothing (the first is France). Spain's attractions are matchless. But how you enjoy your trip to Spain will depend very much on where you decide to take it, for Spain is not a single, homogeneous country, but many countries in one.



Spain's beaches, of course, the famous sun, sea and s... (insert your own word beginning with 's'), are the foundations on which Spain's tourist industry rests and absorb the bulk of the fifty-odd million visitors it receives annually. The Mediterranean costas need no introduction from me, though I must mention that, although it is true that much tourist development in the Med has been inadequately planned, or not at all, it is still possible to find unspoilt coves and beaches even somewhere as popular as Majorca. And Spain's other coastlines, its Atlantic coast north of Portugal, the Costa de la Luz in the Bay of Cadiz, and its Cantabrian Costa Verde, green coast, are yet to be discovered by international mass tourism.

Spain's cities, towns and villages are fascinating, from great historical cities like Toledo or Granada to the bustle of modern Barcelona, or the white villages of Andalusia, or the black towns of the unknown Alcarria, or... Rummage around in Spain and Portugal for Visitors for more.

And while we are thinking of historical places, the history of Spain is an immense subject, unique in the world, and largely visible on the ground. The Segovia aqueduct illustrates the Roman occupation perfectly, the streets of Toledo take you back to the time of the "city of three cultures," Christian, Muslim and Jewish, the Alhambra palace tells of the opulence of the Moorish conquerors and the castles of the two Castiles show how Spain was inexorably retaken, kilometre by bloody kilometre.
