Haus der Musik, Vienna
While a lot of travellers seem to be shying away from museums these days - someone seems to have told them you don’t “have to” visit museums to see a city - one that I highly recommend in Vienna is the Haus der Musik (House of Music), also known as the Sound Museum.

I’ve eaten lunch many times over the last few years at The Grange Restaurant, 35 High St, North Berwick tel 01820 893344. The three course lunch menu costs ВЈ9.95. The dishes are freshly prepared using local produce. It’s a delicious lunch at a very reasonable price.
There’s always a good choice on the lunch menu with at least four dishes for each course. Last time I was there I had the broccoli and Stilton soup as a starter, monk fish as a main course and chocolate torte to finish. The food is beautifully presented and the staff are charming.

Very popular with local tourists, but yet to make it onto the wider tourist radar, Bojnice Castle in western Slovakia is the kind of place where you just have to take dozens of photographs.

Has travel insurances gone bananas? Well Quotebanana.co.uk appear to think that a zany name is going to attract buyers of travel insurance with a strapline of “Don’t monkey around, pick the best of the bunch”. I hesitate to call Quotebanana a price comparison site as it predominately features insurance companies which are part of the AA group of companies. However I decided to give it a go for annual travel insurance in Europe for a couple. The cheapest quote of ВЈ59.10 was with Only Insurance.

Having just booked some of my autumn holidays and enjoying Karen’s review on holiday.co.uk, I just realised that my preferred airline ticketing website is probably a bit obscure to many of our readers. Having lived in the Netherlands for many years, I have picked up a trick or two from the locals about getting a deal, and the website Cheaptickets.nl was probably one of the best tips I took with me to Edinburgh. Lucky for you, the website is now available in English but with the same great fares as before. Keep in mind, fares are quoted in Euros so be mind full of the ever-fluctuating currency rates, as noted in Karen’s recent post about the drop in the value of sterling against the Euro encouraging more Eurolanders to visit the UK

If you’re taking your own car to mainland Europe this Summer you may be asking yourself if you should purchase European car breakdown cover. It’s hard to decide if you should buy breakdown cover but you have to weigh up the reliability of the your car, against the cost of the cover and what it might cost if you did break down on holiday.

I did a double take today when I was writing about the current Ryanir ВЈ2 flights to Ireland promotion, I was checking in the price and availability of these flights when I noticed that Ryanair are now charging a ВЈ4 handling charge per flight for both credit and debit cards. I thought that it sounded pretty steep, especially the debit card fee, as I was sure it was usually significantly lower than the debit card charge. I referred back to a post I’d written on June 7 2008 about Ryanair’s free flights and sure enough on that date the debit card fee was ВЈ1.20 and the credit card fee ВЈ3.20. That’s a whopping increase of ВЈ2.80. or more than tripling, per flight if you pay by debit card.
