Paris

Paris is a city that never lets up. Return time and again and there is always something fantastic to experience – world-famous landmarks and museums mixed with chic shopping, cafe life, gastronomic blowouts and strolls along the banks of the glorious River Seine. The overwhelming amount on offer can be a real challenge for first-timers in deciding where to start but with some forethought and planning, the perfect debut is certainly possible. Here are our top tips for your first visit to the City of Light.

Must-see sights

Gazing down on the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower is the ideal Paris baptism. Flop afterwards on the green lawns of the Parc du Champ de Mars, or cross the Seine to snap the perfect Eiffel Tower selfie from the Jardins du Trocadéro.

Notre Dame, splendidly standing aplomb the larger of the two Seine islands, is the city’s geographical and spiritual heart. A clamber up the cathedral’s North Tower to the gargoyle-laced rooftop is a Parisian rite of passage.

Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo in the big-hitting Louvre are priceless Paris must-sees. Conveniently, quintessential Parisian gardens Jardin des Tuileries and Jardin du Palais Royal, with its elegant boutique-clad arcades, are next door. The eye-catching Centre Pompidou is an easy walk from here – don’t miss the spectacular panorama radiating from the roof – and buskers and celebrated café terraces in front provide light relief.

No art lover can do justice to every art museum in Paris in a single visit. Depending on your taste, the best of the rest to see on your first visit are the Musée d’Orsay (Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces in a former train station), Musée Rodin and its manicured gardens (The Kiss, The Thinker and other Rodin sculptures in the artist's old studio), the Musée du Quai Branly (traditional African, Oceanic, Asian and American craftsmanship) and the Musée Picasso (comprehensive Picasso collection in a 17th-century hôtel particulier in the fashionable Le Marais district).

For contemporary architecture aficionados, Frank Gehry’s Fondation Louis Vuitton – an easy shuttle-bus ride from place Charles de Gaulle – is essential. Combine it with some of the best vistas in Paris from the top of the iconic Arc de Triomphe.

No Paris initiation is complete without a funicular ride up to the fabled artists’ quartier of Montmartre with its signature Basilique du Sacré-Coeur. City panoramas from the top of the basilica’s front steps and inside the pearly-white dome are postcard-perfect, while a meander in the hilltop neighbourhood will give you a taste of village life.

You’ll need the best part of a day, but an encounter with France’s most famous chateau in posh Versailles is well worth the trip.

Where to eat

Paris is showcase par excellence of French cuisine. While you'll find more than enough gastronomic dining courtesy of  legendary chefs like David Toutain or Guy Martin at 18th-century Le Grand Véfour, eating à la Parisian means mixing formal dines with casual eating in traditional spots. Try bistros Au Pied de Fouet in St-Germain or Bistrot Paul Bertin the 11e and cool neobistros like Racines 2 by the Louvre, Le Miroir in Montmartre, Le Pantruche in Pigalle and James Henry’s wildly popular Bones. Beautiful art nouveau brasseries such as Bouillon Racine are timeless. Or try walk-in wine bar dining at Frenchie or Verjus, both lovely to dip into after the Louvre.

For a quick lunch between sights, consider a baguette sandwich from Huré (handy for Notre Dame) or CheZaline in a former horse-meat butcher shop. Classic Parisian tartines (open sandwiches) are served on Poilâne bread at Au Sauvignon, Cuisine de Bar and Le Select. Dozens of cafes also do light food: Café Saint-Régis (near Notre Dame), Le Progrès (essential stop in Montmartre), Le Verre à Pied (always busy with stall-holders from the rue Mouffetard food market) and Le Clown Bar in Le Marais. Or sit down to a market lunch at the Marché aux Enfants Rouges, a local staple since 1615.

You can't leave Paris without snacking on its edible icons: macarons from Pierre Hermé or Ladurée, éclairs from L’Éclair de Génie, hot chocolate at Angelina, Berthillon ice cream, and a crepe from one of the city’s many street stands.

Key foodie districts to simply wander and uncover more tasty dining addresses include Le Marais (3e, 4e), the 10e, and the 11e stretching north from Bastille.

Where to stay

Pinning down the perfect place to stay depends on budget and location – arrondissements (districts) have their own personality with ample choice when it comes to recommended hotels.

Key districts with easy access to major sights, excellent transport links, and plenty of shops and drinking/dining options on the doorstep are the Right Bank areas around Louvre and Les Halles (1er, 2e) and Le Marais (3e, 4e), and St-Germain des Prés (6e) and the studenty Latin Quarter (5e) on the Left Bank. For village charm consider Montmartre(18e). For hipster trend, throw yourself in the Renaissance of the alternative Canal St-Martin area (10e).

Hotel rooms tend to be small. Cheaper hotels might not have lifts or air-conditioning, and breakfast is almost never included in the nightly rate – nipping out to a nearby cafe for a coffee and croissant is often the more appealing option.

Families might appreciate the extra space an apartment brings, not to mention the joy of shopping at the food market, picking up cheese at the local fromagerie and so on. Paris Attitude (parisattitude.com) and Haven in Paris (haveninparis.com) both have a wide choice of apartments to rent, some on a nightly basis, some only weekly.

Getting around

Frequent trains and buses link Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports (aeroportsdeparis.fr) with the city centre.

Strolling  around Paris is a pleasure and an easy way of getting between many of the must-see sights – pack your comfiest shoes. Or combine walking with Batobus – a hop-on, hop-off river boat service stopping at eight key destinations along the Seine.

You can also grab a bicycle from one of the numerous Vélib’ bike stations around the city and drop it off at another. You need a credit card with a microchip to pay. Bring your own helmet.

The metro run by RATP (ratp.fr) is fast, efficient and safe. Grab a metro map at any station (keep it in your pocket) and buy a carnet of 10 T+ tickets for €13.70 – each good for a single journey and generally the cheapest way of using the metro. Parents with prams/strollers and those with limited mobility might find buses easier to use.

New York City

New York City’s (NYC) unique mix of energy, creativity, internationalism, influence and street smarts makes for one of the great world cities. In New York, the potential for a thrilling, unexpected encounter seems to be hiding in plain sight just around every corner and behind any door.

New York has long been ahead of its time as a driver of international collaboration and globalization. A prized destination for those in search of opportunity, challenge, diversity and inspiration, NYC draws nearly one-third of its residents from somewhere else. Representatives from the 193 member countries of the United Nations General Assembly convene each September at the U.N. headquarters in New York’s midtown neighborhood.

NYC Map and Geography

New York City encompasses the five boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island.  (Click on the image below to view the full-size map in a separate window or browser tab.)

 

The Five Boroughs

• Manhattan is home to Central Park, Times Square, Madison Square Garden, Wall Street, the East Village and West Village, SoHo and Noho, and the majority of New York’s most iconic cultural institutions.  It’s also the city’s most densely populated borough.
• Brooklyn, the city’s most populous borough, is just across the East River from Manhattan, easily accessible by a short subway ride over the river or a popular traverse by foot or bike across the Brooklyn Bridge.  The borough is a colorful, relatively residential enclave that is also home to a  host of creative types, some of the city’s more inventive modern comfort food, a rich architectural heritage and famous rap and hip hop artists like the Beastie Boys and Jay-Z (who seems to have since largely relocated to the arguably more refined surroundings of Manhattan’s Tribeca and Upper East Side neighborhoods).
• The Bronx is New York’s northernmost borough and the stomping grounds of the city’s famous pin-striped sports franchise, the New York Yankees (aka the Bronx Bombers).
• Queens is considered the most ethnically diverse county in the U.S. and home to the Yankees’ cross-town rivals, the New York Mets.  Foodies trek to Queens’ Flushing neighborhood for some of the city’s most flavorful and authentic Asian dishes.
• Staten Island is New York’s most suburban borough, reachable by a 30-minute jaunt on the Staten Island Ferry from Manhattan.  Until 2001, the borough had the unenviable distinction of hosting the Freshkills Landfill, which was once both the world’s largest landfill and man-made structure and eventually grew to a height more than 25 meters taller than the Statue of Liberty.  Curiously, the name Freshkills comes from the nearby Freshkills Estuary, although estuaries are considered some of the world’s most productive natural habitats.  In 2009, New York City’s Department of Parks and Recreation began a multi-phase, 30-year redevelopment project to reclaim the land and convert it into a public park that will be known by the same name as the landfill, Freshkills Park.

Situated where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean, New York’s five boroughs collectively encompass some 520 miles of coastline.

NYC Facts, Statistics and Rankings

Boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island
Population: City proper: 8.175 million people; Metropolitan area: 19.75 million people
Ethnic composition: Caucasian, 33 percent; Hispanic, 29 percent; African American, 23 percent; Asian, 13 percent

World City

Foreign transplants and visitors from far away lands stand a better chance of enjoying some of the comforts of home in New York City than most any other place on the planet. In a fascinating New York Times Op-ed titled “My Endless New York” by acclaimed British historian Tony Judt, who came to New York University by way of Oxford, New York is, “a city more at home in the world than in its home country …. As a European, I feel more myself in New York than in the European Union’s semi-detached British satellite [London], and I have Brazilian and Arab friends here who share the same sentiment.” No doubt aware of many of the locals’ foreign connections and international orientation, many NYC eating establishments don’t even bother to translate names or menu offerings from the native languages of their culinary origins.

Art and Culture, Low and High

An inspiring center of creative expression, New York City draws aspiring and established artists and their admirers to create and experience a rich array of cultural offerings. From the polished galleries of Tribeca and Soho to the street art of Union Square, New York’s art world caters to all manner of tastes and economic profiles.

From Broadway stars to street buskers, performance arts hold a special place in New York’s cultural sole. Many NYC subway goers appear to genuinely enjoy being serenaded by the sweet harmony of an old school, Motown-style doo wop group or the eclectic stylings of a traveling guitar player.

Along with musicians of all genres, New York City’s pantheon of performance artists encompasses accomplished thespians, opera singers and dancers. Renowned NY dance institutions include: Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theatre, the New York City Ballet and the Joyce Theater in Chelsea.

Many art-house documentary, social issue and foreign films get their start in New York and Los Angeles before, hopefully, making their way to the rest of the country or world. Cinemas like IFC Center in the West Village, Soho’s Angelika Film Center and the Landmark Sunshine Theater in the Bowery help give life to works that might otherwise go largely under-appreciated. DOC NYC, held at IFC Center and New York University (NYU) in Greenwich Village, has quickly climbed near the top of the list of leading documentary film festivals in the U.S.

For those looking to experience New York’s internationally renowned cultural institutions, the city’s impressive roster of world class venues includes: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Opera, the Guggenheim Museum and Radio City Music Hall.

Education

New York University’s (NYU) Tisch School of the Arts and Columbia University’s Journalism School are highly regarded training grounds for the next generation of digital media makers and story tellers. Famous graduates of the prestigious Parsons The New School for Design nearby Union Square include Marc Jacobs and Norman Rockwell. Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute is known for its high-ranking schools of interior, industrial and graphic design and architecture program.

Food Culture: Low, High and Avant Garde

New York City’s penchant for creativity, in all degrees of refinement, is reflected in the city’s thriving food culture. Business moguls, philanthropists and other members of New York’s high society spend many an evening attending dinner engagements at the likes of Per Se, Le Bernardin, Daniel and Eleven Madison Park.

While New York has more than its fair share of exclusive, high-end eateries and globe-trotting celebrity chefs, the city’s food scene arguably owes as much to the vast, enterprising cadre of culinary entrepreneurs who ply their satisfying, mouth-watering wares on food carts and trucks throughout the city.

Somewhere in between, emerging culinary innovators make news and attract devoted followings by introducing jaded New Yorkers to unexpected new tastes and flavors.

Madison Avenue to Wall Street

Far from limited to the more and less rarified realms of art and food, creativity is also a defining characteristic of New York’s business world. A long-time leader in a host of creative industries, New York is home to many of the most influential corporations and personalities in old and new media, design, advertising and fashion.

Despite the breadth and variety of New York’s business community, there’s no escaping the importance of financial services to the livelihoods of the city and its residents. The financial industry pays the way of more New Yorkers than any other sector. Not ones to welcome being outdone, even the titans of Wall Street seem compelled to express their creativity by engineering increasingly complex financial instruments.

Living in New York City

For those tempted by all that the city has to offer, it’s worth noting that New York is also undoubtedly home to the U.S.’ most costly, daunting and perplexing housing market. The average price for a Manhattan apartment was $1.4 million as of mid-2011, while the median stood at $800,000. Even at these levels, buyers can take consolation in knowing that this works out to pricing per square foot well off the late 2008 peak of $1,400 for a condo or co-op. At that rate, a cool $1.4 million would be good for 1,000 square feet, while $800K would work out to a rather more modest 571 square feet, still relatively decent-sized for a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan.

Considering these price points, it comes as no surprise that the vast majority of New York City residents, some 73 or so percent, are renters. The scale and complexity of NYC’s rental market supports a byzantine-like structure of apartment brokers, landlords and approval procedures that initially overwhelms most first-time renters. The mere act of assembling all the paperwork necessary to apply for an apartment often causes many people to lose out on their first attempt at landing a place.

Health and Well-being

A demanding, for many even frenetic, lifestyle of navigating super-charged urban stimuli, intense schedules and all manner of culinary temptations, all while calling home to exorbitantly over-priced, invariably cramped accommodations, makes it tempting to assume that New Yorkers are particularly prone to sudden, premature departures from the planet.

In fact, just the opposite seems to be true. As of a few years back, a New Yorker born in 2004 could expect to live nine months longer than the average American, according to a New York Magazine article, “Why New Yorkers Last Longer.” During a roughly 15 year period from 1990, life expectancy in New York City increased by 6.2 years, more than doubling the concurrent increase of 2.5 years for the average American.

Aggressive policing, new AIDS drugs and other improvements in medical treatments and health care all played important roles in disproportionately boosting life expectancy in New York. But a key source of New Yorkers’ longevity has been traced to a simpler explanation, walking. Not only do New Yorkers walk a lot, they have a habit of walking much faster than residents of anywhere else in the country, which has been linked to significant health benefits. In the words of an admittedly not unbiased New York Magazine piece, “The natives blast down the sidewalk at blitzkrieg pace, and the visitors mosey along like pack mules.”

Don’t Smoke, Don’t Get Fat, Ride a Bike

In other arenas, New York City has consistently been at the vanguard of taking measures aimed at improving health and well-being. The city was one of the first to ban smoking in public places, including all bars and restaurants, as early as 2003.

Mayor Bloomberg’s administration extended NYC’s laudable efforts to prescribe healthier habits and set national standards by voting to ban trans-fats in public eating establishments and requiring disclosure of calorie counts. In 2006, the New York City Board of Health voted to adopt the country’s first major municipal ban on artificial trans-fats in restaurant cooking. Since July 2008, NYC restaurants and coffee chains have been required to display calorie counts on their menus.

Motivated as much by environmental as health concerns, NYC has encouraged residents to cycle away calories they do consume by aggressively expanding urban bike routes. From 2007 to 2011, the city has installed some 260 miles of bike lanes in the “densest, most contested parts of town,” according to New York City Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.

Native Attitude

If New Yorkers are really healthy and maybe even happy, why aren’t they nicer? Visitors to New York can come away feeling the natives are a bit gruff or even rude. On the other hand, many residents would beg to differ that this impression is merely an unfortunate misconception of the natives’ inclination to be direct and relatively unreserved and visitors not enjoying enough quality interaction time to appreciate the endearing upside of New Yorkers’ unabashed frankness.

Land of Adventure and Opportunity

Never meant to be experienced from the confines of a cramped apartment, life in New York City always seems to offer up something interesting to see or do, many of which don’t even come with a cost of admission. A trip to the East Village, Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, Union Square, Central Park or any number of other spots is almost sure to come with a healthy dose of entertainment and inspiration.

Venice in Italy

Venice (Italian: Venezia) is one of the most interesting and lovely places in the world.

This sanctuary on a lagoon is virtually the same as it was six hundred years ago, which adds to the fascinating character. Venice has decayed since its heyday and is heavily touristed (there are 56000 residents and 20 million tourists per year), but the romantic charm remains.

Understand

The most famous is the area comprising the 118 islands in the main districts that are called "Sestieri": Cannaregio, Castello, Dorsoduro, San Polo, Santa Croce and San Marco, where the main monuments and sights are located. Other main districts are Isola Della Giudecca and Lido di Venezia. Some of the more important islands in the lagoon include Murano, Torcello, San Francesco del Deserto, and Burano.This place may not seem huge but it is and is made up of different boroughs.

History

The Most Serene Republic of Venice dates back to 827, when a Byzantine Duke moved its seat to what is now known as the Rialto, and for the following 970 years, prospered on trade and under the rule of a Roman-style Senate headed by theDoge. In 1797, the city was conquered by Napoleon, a blow from which it never recovered. The city was soon merged into Austria-Hungary, then ping-ponged back and forth between Austria and a nascent Italy, but Venice is still a monument to the glory days of the Renaissance, and historical culture still throbs powerfully in the old Italians' veins.

Climate

The carnival and when it's raining may be the worst time to visit: it's very Dark and rainy - you might even have to buy water proof shoes, which are sold on the streets for around €20. When it's raining there are mosquitoes and occasional infestations of flies. Spring and fall are probably best, a compromise between temperature (expect 5-15°C in March) and the tourist load. Between November and January, you may manage to feel you have Venice all to yourself, an interesting and quiet experience. Beware of the weather during the winter months: it can be quite cold, windy, and damp. Fog is an additional hazard if you are driving in or out, doubly so in the unlikely chance that you will pilot a boat. That said, if you've never been to Venice, it's better to go in summer than not to go. You won't regret it. Many cities are far worse in summer, and Venice has no cars, hence no smog.

Acqua alta (high water) has become a fact of life in Venice. The lagoon water level occasionally rises above the level of the squares and streets, flooding them. This can happen several times a year, at irregular intervals, usually in the colder months. Acqua alta usually lasts a few hours and coincides with high tide. You'll see raised walkways in side alleys ready to be pulled out whenacqua alta hits. When the city begins to flood, sirens will sound to warn residents and businesses. If you speak fluent Italian, tune into news programs since their predictions of the times the flood begins and ends are usually on the spot. Normally, the tide rises and falls in six-hour cycles.

You can get an acqua alta map at the tourist offices either at the railway station or St Marks. This will show you the higher, dry routes and the ones with walkways set up during the various flood alerts. There is a tide measuring station at the Rialto vaporetto piers, and a noticeboard at the base of the Campanile in the Piazza San Marco that shows a live tide reading and predictions for the next few days.

Galápagos Islands

Site: Galápagos Islands

Location: Ecuador

Year Designated: 1978

Category: Natural

Criteria: (vii)(viii)(ix)(x)

Reason: This “living laboratory” of evolution helped to inspire Charles Darwin 175 years ago and continues to offer a unique opportunity to explore a pristine natural ecosystem.

* * *

The Galápagos Islands are located 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from the South American mainland but a world apart from anywhere else on Earth. The archipelago and its surrounding waters, located where three ocean currents converge, are famed for the unique animal species that piqued the interest of Charles Darwin in 1835. Decades later Darwin drew on his experiences here when penning his landmark theory of evolution by natural selection.

The actively volcanic islands are home to fascinating creatures found nowhere else on Earth, including marine iguanas, giant tortoises, flightless cormorants, and a diverse variety of finches. Darwin noted that although all of the islands shared similar volcanic compositions, environment, and climate, each isolated isle was home to its own set of unique species. Darwin suspected that these species had adapted to a unique diet and the microenvironment of their locale.

Most exciting for visitors is the lack of fear and even curiosity with which the Galápagos animals typically regard humans. Incredible, up-close encounters are the norm here. And while the islands are a living laboratory of evolutionary change, their ecosystems have remained remarkably unchanged. Some 95 percent of the islands' pre-human biodiversity remains intact—a remarkable figure. But even this paradise hasn’t remained totally pristine.

Threats from high levels of poorly regulated tourism (the islands welcome some 100,000 annual visitors), overfishing, and the introduction of invasive species landed the site on the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2007.

But this first of all World Heritage sites has experienced some positive changes in recent years. The committee has recognized Ecuador’s progress in strengthening conservation measures designed to protect the priceless area, and the Galápagos were removed from the threat list in July 2010.

How to Get There

The islands have two airports, Isla Baltra and Isla San Cristóbal, which are serviced by regular flights from mainland cities Quito and Guayaquil.

How to Visit

Accommodations are available on several islands, and public boat and plane services allow visitors to move about the archipelago. But perhaps the best way to experience the Galápagos is by boat tour. Whether your interests lie in bird watching, diving, snorkeling, surfing, or other activities an appropriate tour option exists—including National Geographic’s own.

When to Visit

There is never really a bad time to visit, but part of the government’s plan to protect these islands includes limiting the number of visitors to each island at any given time. Tour itineraries are coordinated with this regulation in mind, and most crowding issues occur from peak season of mid-June through September and again in mid-December to mid-January.

From December through May the islands tend to be quieter (excepting the holiday period mentioned above), but frequent sunshine is also punctuated with almost daily rain showers. As water temperatures change and seasons shift, different types of wildlife become more or less plentiful—so it’s worth keeping a “must-see” species list in mind when planning your itinerary.
