The Cathedral building begun in 1163, construction lasted at least
until 1320-some say it continues today, as you can witness walking

the 1250, succeeded by Pierre de Montreuil (Designer of the Sainte

My girlfriend and I will be driving from London to Yorkshire
in a couple of weeks, and someone suggested to her that we
visit the Lace Museum in Nottingham. She wants to do it, I
don't. We visited a lace museum in Brugge last year, and I

Can anyone tell me: From which city (Frankfurt or Munich) is it easier to
get to St. Moritz by train? Any suggestions on the best way to go about it?
Thanks

I'll be in the Scarborough/Whitby (England) area in a couple
of weeks, and I was hoping that someone could recommend a
comfortable hotel with a sea view. Thanks!

My teenage daughter and I will be in Granada for three days in late
October and would like to see a flamenco show. Many say flamenco
is better in Seville, the shows in Granada are just for tourists,
etc., but nonetheless we'd like to see one - any recommendations

Has anyone stayed at either the Hostal La Estrella or Hostal Roquefer in
Bilbao.  Both are mentioned in the Lonely Planet, but I've been online and
can't get more than addresses and phone numbers.  Often, people write
reviews, but they are none for these two.  Also looking for ...

Few weeks ago, I bought a couple of Ryanair's airtickets.
Now, I know that I will be not able to use them (I changed my travel
itinerary and I bought new tickets).
As Ryanair doesn't allow any kind of reimbursement, I guess that the only

My wife and I are planning a trip to Italy in November. Are the star ratings
for hotels in Italy similar to say France? We usually stay at a 3 star hotel
in France. Will a 3 star hotel in Italy do for us or should I be looking for
a 4 star hotel? I do realize that the star rating ...

I have what I guess is a good problem: Yesterday I was asked to attend a
conference in Aix-en-Provence in place of a colleague, but I need to leave
on Monday! I've been to Paris several times (gotten good advice here), but
never to the south of France.

I'm a Canadian Citizen, will be getting married to an American over
the next few months.  She is going to be on a work assignment in
Germany for a year after we get married.  I'm assuming her company
will arrange for whatever visa she needs to work in Germany.   Does

I'm going to be in Liverpool for three days to see some shows at the
Cavern Club, including The Mighty Stars, The Loves and The Pleasers.
Preliminary investigations point me to the Britannia Adelphi Hotel and
The Moat House.

Opps! It would have been good to make arrangements a year ago but...
We will leave for Europe in a week and would like to visit Oktobefest
near the end of September for 3 days.
I am a student and will travelling with a friend. I know that getting

I will be traveling from Innsbruck to the Bodensee soon and would like to
know the places I "must see" along the way in the Tirol. I am thinking Imst
and Feldkirch?
What else would be worth a visit?

I'm walking the Camino Santiago in stages and would like to end this
year's excursion at Carrion de los Condes, west of Burgos.  My books say
there is no bus service out of there, but I find that hard to believe as
it is on the N120 close to Burgos.  Does anyone have accurate info ...
