One of the restaurants in Rome that I would like to suggest in the centre is Orso 80 a great trattoria, or hostaria like the sign outside the restaurant read with real italian food. They had great found, excellent service and we were given bread and fritters from the owner which was really generous. I added some pictures of the lobster spaghetti which we ordered in two and was truly delicous. Right in the centre of Rome Orso 80 is great if after dinner you want to go for a stroll and walk over to Piazza Navona...

During our holiday in Rome we stayed at this excellent H10 Hotel. We booked the hotel online and had found a great dealing, paying just 55 euro's per night. On tripadvisor the hotel had nothing but good reviews except maybe for the location which we didn't even find to be that bad. The hotel was very modern, design hotel and very clean with excellent service and staff. Hotel parking is possibile at a cost of 12 euro's a day but there was enough parking space outside, just in front of the hotel as well. If you're...

Last week I had 5 days in Dubai for a conference me and my collegues had to go to and I had a great time. Going on business trips to places such as Dubai is a real treat as it gives you the excellent excuse to spend some time away from the cold winter. Besides the reason for my going I think Dubai is a great travel destination in general with lots of nice places to go to like malls, markets, beaches and plenty of nightlife and restaurants. We stayed at the Golden Sands hotel apartments where I had my own apartment...
