The world is a beautiful place and there are so many countries to see and so many things to do. Language Connections’ Multinational team members share their personal traveling experience and give their recommendation of the top 10 best places to visit in 2013.
1. Saint Petersburg | Places to Visit
“Saint Petersburg is the place to go if you ever decide to pay a visit to Russia.
The stunning architecture gracefully reflects the spirit of Russia and a glimpse of the past. But what will truly make you love this city is the feel and thrill of it. A haven to an endless number of poets, musicians, artists, filmmakers, and creative people who dream in the most unimaginable ways. This city magnetizes and draws them all together, its streets and alleys are filled with a unique atmosphere, one that simply inspires you to create and to express yourself. It’s in the air. You can almost feel it. Saint Petersburg has a unique charm that’s all its own. It is a living being with soul and temper. It will interact with you, it will challenge you, it will astonish you and will leave a lasting impression.”
-Leo, President of Language Connections
2. Kephalonia | Places to Visit
“I highly recommend a trip to the beautiful island of Kephalonia in the Ionian Sea. It is the biggest Greek island in the Ionian sea. The island has incredible natural beauty, with pristine sandy beaches, encompassed by beautiful turquoise waters, which serve as the breeding grounds of the endangered loggerhead sea turtles. The locals are friendly, the mountain villages are scenic, and the food is delicious! Ride around the island on a boat to get a sea view of the island’s most beautiful coves, sea caves and majestic coastline. Take a day trip to neighboring Zakynthos island, another marvel all it’s own.”
-Karen, Director of Biotech and Pharmaceutical Research
3. Berlin | Places to Visit
“Visit Berlin, enjoy this beautiful city at the heart of Europe full of history in every direction. From the Brandenburg Gate to the East Side Gallery, through the legendary Checkpoint Charlie, there is always something to see. Take a stroll in the Tiergarten and through the numerous parks, which make Berlin one of the greenest European capitals with the highest quality of living. Also be sure to make the most of its underground culture, which attracts so many young and creative people from all parts of the world!”
-Marie, Project Manager
4. Prague | Places to Visit
“I love Prague. It’s a magical city. It is so beautiful – it looks like a place straight out of a fairy tale! I was so impressed by the astounding architecture. Prague is full of music, energy, art and festivals. People were very friendly there, although not many people in the streets spoke English. The prices in Prague were reasonable. For example, a dinner at a nice restaurant cost much less than in Paris or in New York. And of course, Czech beer is the best in the world!”
-Yana, Marketing Director
5. Barcelona | Places to Visit
“Barcelona, Spain is definitely one of the best destinations for this coming summer! It is a place with such a rich cultural heritage and great site for tourists to visit. Entertainment, fashion, arts, commerce, night life, you can find it all in Barcelona. Its mild, humid climate makes everyday perfect for a trip to the beach. Experience Barcelona and you will never regret it!”
–Valeria, Marketing Assistant
6. Boston | Places to Visit
“Fenway Park, Boston Common, the TD Garden. These are all things that remind me of home. Living in Boston has always made me feel at ease. Everywhere you look there is something to do, somewhere to go, or something to see. I love drinking water from a “bubblah” and always being able to rely on the T to take where I need to go. Boston is where America was born, it’s where some of greatest patriots came from like John Hancock, Paul Revere and, my favorite brewer, Sam Adams. No matter what challenges or what terror strikes Boston, it finds courage in its citizens and always remains strong. That’s why I love being a Bostonian.”
– Jose, Marketing Assistant
7. Segovia
“Segovia, (Spain) is one of the few cities that can make a lasting impression, and that’s why I highly recommend visiting it. Despite that it’s overshadowed by the more popular city of Madrid, it has an unsurpassed concentration of history in a relatively small space. The famous Roman aqueducts, the austere but imposing Alcazar castle, the beautiful cathedral and with some of the best restaurants in the country it makes for a perfect tourist destination.”
– Kirill, Project Manager
8. Vienna
“On the surface Vienna is elegant, traditional and slow moving. However, dig a little deeper and you‘ll find that it’s also modern, trendy, and a great place to party throughout the night. Vienna is a city that allows you to relive the past and enjoy the present. First and foremost, it is a city of the arts and a gorgeous place to wander. One of my favorite places to go is Naschmarkt where locals go to dine and the 7th district which has a huge shopping area and the bohemian flair of its funky coffeehouses and artsy local designer stores.”
-Michaela, Project Manager
9. Iceland
“Thinking of escaping this hectic world and diving into the nature for a little while?
Come to Iceland. Sit on the edge of the cliff with your feet dangling, overlooking the endlessness of Atlantic Ocean, losing all sense of gravity, as if you could fly. If you’re adventurous, take a hike up to a volcano or go for a trip down to the numerous waterfalls. If you wanna play it safe, stay up late and watch the sky bursting with northern lights or maybe take a walk in the fields and listen to everlasting silence. Once you’ve experienced the peace of soul and mind that this magical place offers you, you will always long for it. And you will keep it close to your heart and in your memories as the sweetest waking dream…”
-Masha, Project Manager
10. Fiji
“Fiji is a Melanesian country in the South Pacific Ocean, which consist of archipelago that includes 332 islands. Volcanic mountains, tropical warm water, varied coral reefs, coconut plantations, beautiful beaches draw tourists from around the world. English is one of the official languages, and is spoken by most in Nadi, Suva and any other major tourist area. Making travel easier for a lot of people. The food is very enjoyable in this place. It is cheap and you have infinite options.”
-Inna, Marketing Assistant
