  2. Al James reviewed St Peters Basilica in Rome, Italy

    Words cant quite express the scale of this place. Make sure you climb to the top of the dome, you get an amazing view (although maybe not if you are a bit fat or scared of heights)."

  4. Al James reviewed Pécs

    A very sleepy little town that does have alot going for it. Explore the ancient town centre, climb the nearby hills and go up the TV tower (worth while!), then relax in one of the famous cafe shops eating a (probably slightly disappointing) cake! "

  5. Al James reviewed Memento Park in Budapest, Hungary

    Ok, its hard to get to (you have to get a random public bus and get off when you see the statues) but worth the effort. If you go to Budapest you must go here!"

  6. Al James reviewed Margaret Island in Budapest, Hungary

    A very nice place to spend a hot summers day. The swimming baths are excellent (5 pools!). Pay attention to the complex pool locker system though, otherwise you will never get your things back!"

  7. Al James reviewed Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest, Hungary

    Dont expect too much from this run-down museum. It sometimes has good special exhibitions though."

  8. Al James reviewed Jim Morrison's Grave in Paris, France

    Its quite tucked away, so would be hard to find if it were not for the crowds of tourists trampling on it. Go and see Oscar Wilde's instead. "

  9. Al James reviewed Carcassonne in Languedoc, France

    Suffers slightly from too many people in period dress and fake 'dungeon' tours, however its an amazing place to visit. Dont stay (or eat for that matter) in the old city unless you want to be ripped off. Stay across the river for a huge saving and a 10 m…"

  10. Al James reviewed Amelie's Cafe in Paris, France

    If you can get in between the japanese tourists taking photos, this is worth a visit. However dont expect it to look exactly like it did in the movie, its been repainted and slightly remodelled!"

  12. Al James reviewed La Grande Arche in Paris, France

    The major business district on the outskirts of Paris, crammed full of more skyscrapers than you can shake a stick at. Dont be confused, its not some military outpost (its named after the statue of the defence of Paris in the middle of the district). Th…"

  14. Al James reviewed Jeju volcanic island in Jeju, South Korea

    Jeju island, South Korea's largest island, is formed from a massive extinct volcano rising out of the sea. Whilst the resort areas of the island can be safely missed (think an Asian version of Blackpool tack) the natural features are not to be missed. Cl…"

  15. Al James reviewed Bodiam Castle in South East England, United Kingdom

    A very impressive and complete castle. Its funny how it looks so impressive but was actually of little defensive use. Gets busy in the summer and queues can develop going up the towers (not to mention the tacky costume shows), so go later in the year. It…"

  16. Al James reviewed Minke Whales at the Baie Ste-Catherine in Quebec, Canada

    This is a totally unreal experience. Make sure you go with a company using smaller inflatable boats, not the huge, glass-bottomed, monstrosities. This way you will get closer to the whales (often see them going just underneath your boat) but your presenc…"
