We travel a lot, and we love Venice. We've been there many times. You never know what you'll find, as not only does the city change (festivals, art, new places to eat) but it also stays the same and you can follow its ever-changing pulse if you so desire. But this post is about a…
Venice in peril. If it's ancient foundations crumbling, and literal hoards of tourists aren't troubling enough, Venice is now being genuinely threatened by the gargantuan cruise ships that pull up to the ancient city. So much so, that UNESCO has put Venice on its endangered list unless Italy permanently banned cruise ships from docking in…
Do you know about the Little Venice of Colmar? It’s the name of a district located in the pretty city of Colmar in Alsace, France. I know, I know… you are gonna say that it is just one more “Little Venice”: each time there is a canal somewhere, the place is given the name of the Italian city. You…
Being part of Italy, you would expect that at every corner, you would find a fantastic restaurant in Venice that would leave you with an indelibly stamped memory of it being the best restaurant you've ever eaten in your life. Sadly, that is not always the case, just like anywhere else. Sometimes you are subject…
Do you want sweeping views of the mountains, hot springs and has an abundance of wildlife? Nelson!
Off we go again today, searching for - and delivering - another reason to visit our site regularly. So, as lovely and as unforgettable as they are, how many times can you visit Venice or Paris? Or, perhaps better said, how many times do you think you might want to skip Venice or…
I always feel that somebody's watching me, especially in Sibiu. Does that ring a bell for you? Probably not, because Sibiu is one of those hidden gems that has still remained hidden. Sibiu, located in the heart of Transylvania, Romania, is a charming city with a rich history, stunning architecture, and a vibrant…
If you haven't already noticed, we're kinda geeks / dorks here when it comes to certain things. One of which is rail. Why pollute the environment at 65mph when you can hurtle down the tracks at twice that speed - comfortably in a reclining seat, we might add - and where you can…

Do hotels make you tired? Whether you're an avid traveler, or a weary business slogger, for the most parts, hotels seem to be all the same. That's not a bad thing, of course, but if leaving home and staying in typical accommodations is a standard component of your adult life (or even if…
If we could, we would like to spend most of our days floating in the bath-like waters of almost any beach or island, no matter where it is. Truly, is there anything better than lying face-up or face-down in the sand (or on a rocker or a hammock) as you slowly roast yourself to…
We're always on the lookout for the "non-traditional." While our travel radar is usually occupied by the most popular, traditional locations, settings and activities (we're talking about you, Venice) we also long for the unusual, the hidden gem, the "find" that makes our mind tingle and pushes us to go and explore. We…

Walk in the worn out shoes of DaVinci. Anyone who has visited the oldest cities in Italy - take Venice for example - know that the streets are tight, twisty and sometimes confusing. And that, of course is due to the fact that so many European cities are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old.…
Without sounding like we're preaching, or stating the obvious, but the fact that you, our wonderful readers, are looking at this article says a lot about you, and certainly something about us, Matouring.
Visiting Venice or Rio are undoubtedly some of the most thrilling things we can do in our lives. But, sometimes (more often than…
To many, Russia is an alluring, slightly foreboding dream destination. Perhaps too many films make the wrong impression of the country, but the pull to visit there is strong, and for good reason. One romantic option for travel in Russia is possibility of riding the historic and pricey Trans-Siberian Express from Venice to Moscow -…
