Princesa 23 is the name of this bar and is also its address. Located in the trendy Born neighbourhood, this restaurant-bar is the perfect place to chill out after work. To get there, take Metro Line 4 to Jaume I and walk down Calle Princesa. It is almost guaranteed that there will be a guy standing on the corner of the street handing out flyers for the bar. Their drink specials are top-notch: the week I was there, they were running a special that involved free shots just for presenting the flyer and buying a drink. They were also featuring Mojitos and Caipirinhas for 3.50€. This offer starts at 11PM.

The atmosphere is young, and most people come here to party before the party really begins, from about 11pm-2:30am. I would estimate that the clientele is comprised of half tourists, half actual Spaniards. It tends to be a very international crowd and most of the staff speak better English than Spanish. This night spot is just the beginning in Barcelona.

In relation to the atmosphere, this bar offers a Moroccan style couch, table and atmosphere. The Princesa 23 is a concept of lounge bar restaurant where you can meet people. The bar has also quotations on its walls from Gibran Khalil Gibran’s book: The Profit. And if you want to eat something; they offer Mexican and Spanish food for a reasonable price. Actually, you can have delicious “bocadillos” or some wonderful nachos with cheese…They also do a special offer, on the 23rd of the month. On this day, you can have a special menu or free! This menu is available for lunch from 12 to 4.30 PM and also for the dinner from 6 PM to 11PM.

You can also try the “chiringuito” Princesa 23, en la playa de la Barceloneta. The concept is the same but you don’t have the decoration, the couches and everything…and it is also more expensive. However, from 7 PM, they propose Mojitos for 3.50€…Even if the Mojitos is the speciality of Princesa 23, you can always take another cocktail because they have a wide choice. You could have a Daiquiri, a Green Paradise, a Margarita, a Beach babe Beach and much more!

I also recommend you to get a hotel (hotel barcelone) as soon as possible. Actually, Barcelona offers you a huge proposal of accommodation (hotels barcelone), so you just have to take advantage of it and look for it on the web.

This is a great way to discover your Phoenix vacations. The Heard Museum in Central Arizona is a must “visit” for everyone interested in the heritage of the area. Here you will be shown some of the best in traditional and modern American Indian art. There are ten exhibition galleries that include five long-term and five changing exhibitions with two different locations for you to tour.

While you are in the Central Arizona area you may wish to tour Pueblo Grande Museum which is an archaeological site museum and repository. The goal of the museum is supporting the understanding of prehistory, history, and ethnology of inhabitants of the Southwest. The museum is positioned at a 1,500 year-old Hohokam village ruins. You can see reproductions of the prehistoric Hohokam homes when walking along the ruin trail. At the site is also one of the last surviving intact Hohokam irrigation canals. This is a remarkable piece of Hohokam history.

Near Tucson you may want to visit the Titan Missile Museum which was home to one of the Titan II Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. There were 18 Titan II missile sites located near the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. The Titan Missile Museum is the only Titan Missile site that remains intact; all the others were destroyed. You can take a guided tour that takes you into the launch control room with a simulated launch and then travel on through the 200 ft tunnel for inspection at the Titan II missile. It’s an incredible tour, be sure to make time to visit.

Travel on over to Yuma and tour the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park. Here you will be able to visit the prison that incarcerated 3,069 prisoners, 29 of whom were female. The prison was last used in 1909 before the prisoners were relocated to a new prison.

This way you have access to the best bars, cafes and restaurants and can be within walking distance from everything you want to see: the Louvre, Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomph.

A big must see on your list apart from Montmartre, Pigalle and the most sumptuous palace in the world; Versailles, should be the right bank. Full to bursting of treats, the right bank offers a wealth of museums, monuments and canalside recreation. Here in the North bank you will find the Palais-Royal, once cardinal Richelieu’s private mansion and no the Conseil d’Etat and Ministry of Culture. It is somewhat understated, but its beauty strikes you as you walk round the pretty gardens. It is rather strange to think it, but this was once the most debauched corner of the capital and the starting point of the French Revolution. In the 1780’s the Palais was a loud and busy hubbub of aristocrats and poor inhabitants of the faubourgs.

The coffee houses in the arcades here were once hotspots for debate starting and it was here that Camille Desmoulins called the city to arms on Bastille Day. There is a restaurant that survives from this era; “Le Grand Véfour” originally founded as “Café de Chartres” in the 1780s, impressive isn’t it?

Amongst the many sights to see in the right bank, you will find the breath taking cathedral of Alexander Nevsky. This Russian Orthodox church is beautiful from the outside, with its traditional onion domes, golden mosasics and crosses and is just as brilliant on the inside. On entering you are greeted by a big waft of incense and immediately notice the tiled patterned floor and doors. The cathedral was built in the neo-Byzantine Novgorod-style of the 1600s and services on Sunday mornings and Orthodox saints’ days are in Russian.

Also worth doing in the right bank is leaving your Paris accommodation to take a stroll through the Jardin des Tuileries. Open between 7.30am and 7pm daily, this graveled area has been fashionable since the 16th century when it first opened to the public, and is now a popular place to stroll. Basically a very chic promenade between the Louvre and place de la Concorde, the alleyways of these gardens are named after the tile factories that stood here in the Middle Ages. The royal gardener “André Le Notre” began his career here in 1664 before having the honour of working at Versailles and it is due to him that this prototypical French garden was created with terraces and pretty circular ponds.
