Today a growing number of travelers decide to discover the East rather than go to tourist-crowded Europe. That stands to reason: since early childhood, we are used to thinking of the East as of a distant, fabulous and undiscovered land. From an early age we have been dreaming of traveling to where fascinating palaces dazzle the eye, the winds wave the desert dunes, rich bazaars buy and sell every item imaginable, and Oriental wise men indulge in philosophizing while drinking tea. Well, it's time to book tickets to the very heart of the East, the stronghold of the great dynasties of the past, the home to Arabian horses, handmade carpets, skullcaps and delicious pilaf. Let`s fly to the country of Turkmenistan and discover its numerous wonders!
Bologna, Italy
La Dotta, la Rossa, la Grassa – the educated, the red and the fatty – these are the words used to describe this picturesque medieval town by those who at least once walked through its arcades, climbed on its canonical towers acting as the city’s visiting card, those who tasted its tagliatelle and tortellini generously dressed with city-special Bolognese sauce. Traditions and modernity, Italian cuisine at its best incarnation, scenic and extremely photogenic red roofs, and music, music... This is all about the queen of Northern Italy – Bologna, which is waiting for you with its entire cultural and culinary splendor.Riga, Latvia

The pearl of the Baltics, its cultural, architectural and gastronomic capital – that`s what the city of Riga really is. Divided in two by the River Daugava, Riga wins the hearts with Art Nouveaux buildings, huge parks and the unique fleur of the past. Surprisingly so, but this city combines a toy-like historical center that seems to have been built according to medieval engravings, a vibrant nightlife and a thriving business. Generous beauty, timeless elegance and irrepressible fusion of the old and the new… Feel the charms: choose a table in a cozy pub, treat yourself to a glass of the famous Black Riga Balsam, listen to candles cracking and watch them glowing. Perhaps that`s when you`ll realize you are wild about this tiny spot on the map.
