There are cities that stand out for their cultural and monumental value, for having been an unavoidable point of reference in the history of a territory. This is the case with Rome, Berlin or London, for example, which are places with a lot of history. But there are also cities that have a different appeal, for social, leisure or entertainment reasons. Many beach sites, in fact, can be considered fun tourist destinations above all else. Likewise, cities like New York or Los Angeles attract tourism thanks to their entertainment industry, as is the case with Las Vegas with its casinos and gambling halls. But there are very few cities in the world that have become, by their own merit, a sex destination for the vast majority of visitors. A European capital where sex is practically free and where you can also consume marijuana without being penalized? It exists, and it’s called Amsterdam.

In recent decades, the popularity of this Dutch city has grown like foam, for obvious reasons. It is a center of entertainment like few others in the world, where thanks to the liberal atmosphere one can do things that are absolutely prohibited in most places. The Netherlands has always boasted of being a particularly open place on these issues, and for this reason it is proud to welcome all kinds of visitors. Many believe that this gives the city and the country a bad image, but the truth is that Holland boasts of being one of the most consolidated democracies in the world. And it is that sex and drugs attract a lot of attention among visitors, but Dutch cities are not exempt from other types of attractions, such as museums, churches or the canals themselves. >from Amsterdam. This capital has slipped into the favorite destinations of Europeans and Americans thanks to its uniqueness, its beauty and above all, its openness. That is why today we want to immerse ourselves in its best-known neighborhood, the Red District or red light district, which is actually made up of three different districts, located in the heart of the city.  

Tokyo , the capital of Japan, is one of the most vibrant, special and dazzling cities on the planet.

Located on the east coast of the United States , on the beautiful Florida peninsula, Miami has become one of the most interesting sun and beach tourist destinations in the country. With an undoubted Latin influence for decades, this place is a very special place and different from any other in the United States , having so much diversity in its streets, with a lot of companies of all kinds, both large conglomerates and small businesses, and of course, for having paradisiacal beaches that stand out on the East coast of the United States. Currently, the Miami metropolitan area is among the ten largest in the country, despite the fact that the city has barely more than 120 years of life.

With the arrival of the terrible Covid-19 pandemic at the beginning of this year 2020, the world economy has suffered a huge setback, especially in strategic sectors such as tourism. The impossibility of traveling or the limits that have been imposed on certain massive activities have been a fatal blow for a sector that moves, in many countries, the greatest amount of money within the tertiary sector. Tourism is the active engine in many places, since it not only generates money and work directly, but also indirectly. And that, in the end , has been tremendously affected by the restrictions of the pandemic . It was curious to see, however, that while traditionally tourist areas on the coasts and large cities were mortally wounded by this pandemic, other rural areas picked up the baton and became interesting destinations for tourists .

Berlin has recently become one of the most visited European cities. What’s more, this is an ideal destination for a bridge trip because you’ll find many and varied attractions in the German capital. If you are preparing your first trip to Berlin, these tips will be useful for your sightseeing tour, which will give you a first glimpse of what you are going to find.

I give you this advice at the end of my last tourist trip to Berlin, where I spent four days visiting the city. Looking ahead to your visit, I can tell you that Berlin is a huge city. It is the largest city in Europe, surpassing cities such as London and Paris, although with its 3.4 million inhabitants has much lower population density, which you will appreciate in your tourist days. Therefore, you have to bear in mind that when visiting Berlin it will be essential to use public transport. In particular, the not-so-new metro lines, buses and trams; the latter can only be found in the catchment area of what was once the former GDR Democratic Republic.
