February 7, 2025 • 12:00 AM

This is a scenario that currently seems unimaginable in Germany. In this country, curfews were recently imposed in Hamburg, Bremerhaven and several districts in Lower Saxony. In Denmark, however, the...

Travel during the Easter holidays: what is allowed

February 7, 2025 • 12:00 AM

The Corona lockdown in Germany is going into a further extension until April 18. As before, travel is only to take place if absolutely necessary. The Balearic Islands, on the other hand, were removed from the list of risk areas on March 14; testing and quarantine upon return were thus initially no longer required. The fierce debate about this has now led to a general obligation to test everyone who flies to Germany - regardless of which country they come from. What do vacationers have to be...

The Corona lockdown in Germany is going into another extension until March 28. This time with opening opportunities for stores and museums, according to the decision of the federal and state governments on March 3, but not yet for hotels and other tourism businesses. The urgent request to be on the road as little as possible remains. No relaxation is in sight for the strict entry rules either.

Back in October 1975, the third and final bout between boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier took place in the Philippine capital of Manila. Ali famously claimed it would be a "killa and a thrilla and a chilla, when I get that gorilla in Manila," ahead of facing Frazier, and he wasn't wrong. That heavyweight fight is still considered to be the greatest clash of boxing champions, of all time. The Araneta Coliseum is still there and there's even a neighboring shopping mall named after Ali,...

Hotel comparison that no hotel can hide from

February 7, 2025 • 12:00 AM

We've always shown a keen interest in Travel technology, so when we came across Triporia, a London startup that focuses on cutting to the details that matter when finding a hotel, we really loved (and chuckled) at their unique Street View feature, particularly when comparing the results to some of Munich's best hotels (or 'best photographed' hotels should we say!).
