Northern Ireland has never had to contend with dragons, white walkers and the chill of an endless winter. That hasn’t stopped its wild landscape scoring a starring role in HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Driving the 120-mile Causeway Coastal Route route from Belfast to Derry-Londonderry is a must for fans of the show, and offers a dramatic lesson in history and nature, from the Titanic and famine to a relaunched cliff path and the epic Giant’s Causeway.

Who they are: Hipcamp
What they do: Connect rural landowners with campers looking for a spot to pitch a tent that’s off the beaten trail
Why it’s cool: If you’ve ever tried to book a campsite at a popular Northern California campground in the busy summer months, you understand how frustrating the experience can be. Prime spots fill up six months in advance, often the very minute they open reservations online. As travel writer Betsy Malloy put it in a recent post on tripsavvy.com: “you have to plan farther ahead for next year’s camping trip than you would for an African safari.”
San Francisco-based Hipcamp is trying to take the headache out of planning a camping trip by turning more places into campgrounds. Sure, you can use the site to book a space at a public park, but you can also reserve a corner of a private ranch, vineyard, farm or rural backyard. No tent? Prefer glamping? No problem. Reserve a spot that comes with a yurt or a treehouse.
“It just makes getting outside a lot simpler for people, and in many cases, more relevant,” said founder and CEO Alyssa Ravasio.
Hipcamp launched in 2013 as a reservation platform for public camp grounds, and expanded into private land in 2015. Landowners who list their properties on the site receive $2 million in liability insurance to protect them in case a guest falls during a hike or has some other mishap during his or her stay.
Where they stand: Hipcamp grew its number of campsites by 10 times this year compared to the year before. The platform now lists 15,000 sites on private land, 400 of which are in the Bay Area. Campers can pitch a tent in a lush garden in Bolinas in Marin County, book a yurt on an old tennis court in Mare Island Preserve in Vallejo or reserve a treehouse in Petaluma.

What will they think of next?
Are you worried your Airbnb guests are running amok? Or are neighbors complaining about your loud parties? If so, NoiseAwaresays it has the solution. The company, which calls its service the “smoke detector for noise,” uses its sensors to monitor decibel levels at your property and alert you if things get too loud.
On the company’s website, CEO David Krauss says he started the company after renting his condo on Airbnb to a guest who had a “rager,” angering his neighbors, prompting a cease-and-desist letter from his building, and ultimately forcing him to sell the property.
Prices for the NoiseAware system range from $149 per year for a condo, to $399 for an “estate.” Learn more at noiseaware.io.
Run the numbers:
If you’re a man, unless you’re abnormally attractive, you may be better off not wasting your time on the dating app Tinder, according to a recent study posted on Medium and picked up by CB Insights. The researcher, who goes by the online handle Worst-Online-Dater, used a quantitative socio-economic study to determine the bottom 80 percent of men (ranked in terms of physical attractiveness) are competing for the bottom 22 percent of women. The top 78 percent of women are competing for the top 20 percent of men.
Quotable:
Many Silicon Valley tech leaders are speaking out against President Donald Trump’s move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and Uber Chief Technology Officer Thuan Pham, an immigrant himself, recently added his voice.
In a blog post, Pham recounted leaving Vietnam with his mother and brother when he was 10 years old, and crossing to Malaysia in a fishing boat crammed with 470 other people, and no life jackets. His family ultimately was rejected from Malaysia and had to travel to Indonesia, and then the U.S., where they started their lives over “with empty hands.”
“Immigrants often risk their lives for a chance at freedom and opportunity, and our country remains the world’s beacon of freedom and opportunity,” he wrote. “Immigrants have built and contributed to America since its very beginning, and are at the center of our social fabric and economic prosperity. My heart breaks to see so many people who are in the same situation today that I was in many years ago.”

(CNN) - "Watch out for dinosaurs."
I smile at our guide's warning and enter the lush jungle growing inside Hang Son Doong, a three-million-year-old cave in central Vietnam.
Water drips from a gaping scar in the ceiling over 100 meters above us. A spectacular sunbeam starts to creep down the side of the serrated cliffs.
The shrill call of birds and macaque monkeys echoes off the limestone, drifting in from the unseen world beyond the skylight.
"Watch out for dinosaurs. That's what we called this place when we first discovered it," caving expert Howard Limbert, elaborates. The prehistoric atmosphere made the reference obvious.
We continue on, stepping deeper into the void that is considered by some to be the largest cave in the world
The discovery
Located in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam's Quang Binh province, Hang Son Doong is one of the most captivating adventures that can be experienced in Southeast Asia.
More people have stood on the summit of Mount Everest than have witnessed the surreal beauty inside these enormous chambers.
Translated as Mountain River Cave, it was first discovered in 1990 by Ho Khanh, a local farmer who was seeking shelter from a passing storm in the jungle.
He noticed clouds and the sound of an underground river gushing from a large hole in the limestone, and reported his findings to the British Caving Research Association (BCRA), who were stationed in Phong Nha at the time.
Unfortunately Ho Khanh lost his bearings during his return, and the exact location of the cave remained lost for 18 years.
In 2008 while hunting for food he stumbled across the entrance again, and returned the following year with Howard and Deb Limbert from the BCRA.
They began the exploration of the cave, and in 2010 determined it to be the largest ever discovered in terms of the size of its cross-section.
The news shook the caving world.

The world’s oldest intact working lighthouse is based in Ireland and
it is now offering sunset tours. They will take place at the 800-year-old Hook
Lighthouse, which is situated at the tip of Hook Peninsula in Wexford,
on the corner of Ireland’s Ancient East.

“Watching the sun go down at the tip of the Hook Peninsula is a
memorable experience,” lighthouse manager, Ann Waters, tells Lonely Planet. “We
are delighted to introduce the sunset tours this season, and are considering
the possibility of holding sunrise tours in the winter.”
Hook
Lighthouse will offer sunset tours. Image: Hook Lighthouse
According to Ann, visitors from across the globe enjoy climbing
the 115 well-worn steps of the tower during the tour, stepping back in time and
exploring its thick-walled chambers. Taking visitors on a journey back through
time, they first meet the life-size hologram of fifth century monk, St Dubhán.
According to legend, the monks from Dubhán’s monastery erected the first fire
beacon to warn seafarers to keep away from the dangerous rocks, and he
describes the freezing nights he spent with fellow monks warning sailors
against danger.
As they ascend to the second floor, visitors meet another
life-size hologram, Knight William Marshal, who was called “the greatest knight
that ever lived” by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Marshal built the tower 800
years ago to guide shipping to his port at nearby New Ross, and also built
Kilkenny Castle and Tintern Abbey. Up on the third floor, visitors can hear
tales of times gone-by from a lighthouse keeper, before stepping onto the top
floor outdoor balcony to take in the panoramic sweeping views of the southeast
of Ireland.

Visitors can savour Irish mead, prosecco, tea and coffee along
with smoked salmon on homemade brown bread, a selection of canapés and mini
desserts, while enjoying the stunning sunset from the balcony and the
newly-opened lighthouse watch room. “Enjoying this vista of the sunset at the
end of the day is something we have enjoyed at the lighthouse for many years,”
says Ann. “We’re delighted to now offer this as a shared experience to visitors
with the added flavour of some local and Irish food produce.”

The Sunset Tour Experience will be on offer at 8pm on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays until the end of September 2017 by advance booking only.
General guided tours are on offer seven days per week at Hook Lighthouse.

Magical Pride offers holiday-makers a unique chance to party, play and stay at Disneyland Paris from Thursday 19th – Sunday 22nd October 2017.

City breaks are usually a short, simple
way to see somewhere new, but it can be easy to get stuck in the rigmarole of
ticking off tourist attractions and generic sightseeing excursions. So for
those interested in delving a little deeper, it's worth seeking out the growing
number of alternative city tours – offering ways to view a more “real” side to
a destination, or experience sights that are off the radar for most
visitors. Here are our chosen few.
Passage of time: New York City
View some of Manhattan’s most spectacular Art Deco architecture on
a tour through the back streets of Midtown, led by a guide from the New York
Obscura Society (atlasobscura.com).
Midtown may be the city’s tourism heartland, but this tour offers an insight
into some of its best-kept secrets, from luxurious public toilets to secret
passageways that avoid the crowds. Even the most hardened urbanistas will gain
a new perspective on the city that never sleeps. Next tour takes place 23
September; from $25pp (£19).
Anime attraction: Tokyo
Addicted to Pokémon Go? Go straight to the source and head for
Tokyo, where you can take a walking tour of the city’s anime shops (tokyowalkingtours.com).
Covering classic Japanese anime such as Dragon Ball, Hello Kitty and Naruto, to
name a few, this tour also offers the chance to visit the Pokémon Centre –
where you can pick up official merch – as well as other specialist anime and
manga stores. From 20,000 yen (£145) for groups of six.
Then and now: Barcelona
Relish the opportunity to explore Barcelona’s gothic quarter,
while also doing something good for those who now live in the area.
Homelessness is a growing problem in the Spanish city; more than 3,000 people
sleep rough on Barcelona's streets today. Hidden City Tours (hiddencitytours.com)
trains and employs guides who are homeless, so they can utilise their extensive
knowledge of the city while finding meaningful employment. Each tour traces a
route personal to each guide, teaching you about the city's history as well as
its everday realities. From €15pp (£12.50); under 12s go free.
Friday night lights: Berlin
Berlin is a fantastic destination – and even more thrilling
after dark. Alternative Berlin’s Twilight Tour (alternativeberlin.com/tours/twilight-tour)
offers you the chance to experience private parties, live music and night
markets in lesser-known neighbourhoods, visiting secret spots on the
fringes of the city. No specific itinerary exists for the tour as it changes
from night to night, though you shouldn't expect it to be low-key: the
company describes it as "not for the faint-hearted". From
€20pp (£16); pre-booking essential; over-18s only.
Saddle up: Amsterdam
Guests are invited to sleep under the stars in this open-air hotel, which is located 6,463 feet above sea level in the mountains of Graubünden
The Swiss Alps room has no walls, roof or bathroom – and is made up of only a bed with a couple of nightstands and lamps.
However, Null Stern, the hotelier behind the concept, will provide a butler to deliver guests breakfast in bed, and a public bathroom is 10 minutes away.
Null Stern, which translates to Zero Stars, was founded in 2008 by brothers Frank and Patrik Riklin and business partner Daniel Charbonnier.
The trio previously transformed a former nuclear bunker in the Swiss city of Teufen into a hotel – branding it the "world's first zero-star hotel".
"Even though this version is radically different from the first one in the nuclear bunker, the essence and the spirit of the concept remains the same – to put the guest at the centre of the experience and to focus on the intangible by reducing everything else to the minimum," said Charbonnier.
Elsewhere in the Swiss Alps, Bureau A concealed a wooden cabin inside an artificial rock, and Milanese firm JM Architecture used mottled grey tiles to make an angular house appear as a "stone in the landscape".
The room costs 250 Swiss francs (approximately £191) per night, and although it is bookable throughout spring and autumn, reservations can be cancelled at the last minute due to poor weather.

News
of the world’s first hotel staffed by robots, which opened last month near
Nagasaki, Japan (where else?), immediately went viral, but few of the reports
actually involved a visit. I went along last week to see if Henn-na hotel lived
up to the hype.
I arrive at 2.55pm. All is quiet.
Behind reception is a motionless but lifelike girl robot wearing a cream jacket
and a smirk. She has a sign saying “only Japanese”, so I approach another
robot, this one designed, bizarrely, to look like a velociraptor and sporting a
bow tie and a bellhop hat. I say hello. Nothing. I wave and he stares past me,
his arms outstretched but unmoving.
“I’d like to check in please,” I shout,
wondering if the robots are voice-activated. A door opens to the right and a
real live human in a black T-shirt appears. “Check-in is 3pm” he says, and goes
back into his room.
Robots are taking off in Japan and several
companies manufacture them for service. In April the Tokyo branch of Bank of
Tokyo-Mitsubishi put a humanoid robot on reception; Nestlé is investing in robots
to sell coffee makers in stores across the country; and
robots guide visitors round the capital’s National Museum of Emerging Science
and Innovation.
The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, says he wants to make this “the most efficient hotel in the world” by reducing manpower and having 90% of staff be robotic. The hotel is in the Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Sasebo, Nagasaki. Designed to resemble the Netherlands, the park is a sort of Dutch Disneyland, with gardens, windmills and tea shops – and so far most hotel guests have been Japanese families visiting the park. The hotel itself is a beautifully designed modernist property, with techy additions such as aircon that adjusts to guests’ body temperature.
At 3pm the velociraptor jerks to life and says, in an
American accent, “Welcome to the Henn-na hotel. If you want to check in, press
one.” I start tapping the screen but the man in black appears again and asks
for my passport, leaving the robot to fall into a state of inertia. How
disappointing.
The hotel’s other robots include a giant mechanical arm in
a glass case that stores luggage in individual drawers for ¥500 (£2.50).
There’s also a foot-high “concierge” who explains breakfast times and locations
(only in Japanese) and orders taxis. Robot “porters” are two rechargeable
luggage trolleys – but only for residents of one luxury wing.
Using facial recognition software, I let myself into my
room and find, on my bedside table, Chu-ri-chan, a cute little electronic
creature. She will switch on the lights and offer weather forecasts and wake-up
calls. She’ll also perk up after being silent for an hour and scare the crap
out of you. Robots may
be the future, but for hotel hospitality, you still can’t beat the human touch.
• Rooms at Henn-na start
at about £36 a night, but at busy periods they are “auctioned” to the highest
bidder. My superior twin, booked in April, cost £125
We have selected a few of our favorite Spanish restaurants in
Spain, some of the country's most important and visited countries, so if you
visit Alicante you can get the best taste of cuisine, or where to taste the
best Paella in Valencia.
Our list includes national and regional cuisine restaurants as
well as some of the best and most avant-garde of creative cuisine, all of them
mixed with traditional touches as well, so you can get different perspectives
of current Spanish cuisine too.
Our Spanish restaurants in Spain lists include a price
list (because we know that quality does not necessarily mean expensive), a
short description of each restaurant and some dishes recommendations, some our
own, others the own restaurant's chef, so you will get the best out of your
gastronomic tour through Spain.
Traditional Spanish cuisine is still extremely popular
and there is no better place to get a taste of some true Spanish food than in
Spain itself. One of the unique things about Spain is that every Spanish region
and city has its own style of cooking and its own signature dishes which means
that you will find a huge range of Spanish food in the restaurants
and bars when you visit Spain.
If you are looking for the best in traditional Spanish food then
you should definitely head to some of the olderSpanish restaurants in
Spain as they have been cooking the same dishes for years, if not
centuries, and so have perfected the technique and ingredients.
However, traditional doesn't mean to say that the food has to be
old-fashioned and historical, as many Spanish chefs and their
restaurants have proved. Traditional food can be joined with funky
presentation, or chic surroundings, making the time-honoured dishes is exciting
as many of the modern dishes in the new restaurants of Spain.
Spanish cuisine, and particularly in the area of gastronomy, has
taken some giant leaps forward in the recent years, breaking the traditional
boundaries of Spanish food as we once knew it. It is becoming quite common for
Spanish restaurants in Spain to update their menus to suit modern palates and
tastes by adapting dishes and changing their ingredients. Some restaurants have
even taken it a step further and have spent a great deal of time and care in
developing their food into true works of art.
Going to a Spanish restaurant in Spain is about much
more than just the food. The atmosphere and the overall experience can often
mean a lot more. That is why so many Spanish restaurants to develop such an
experience. Many have tried to create their own theme, or incorporate elements
of a certain culture; all with the aim of entertaining all your senses and not
just your taste buds.
There are a number of lucky restaurants who are blessed with
magical natural surroundings. For example, thoseSpanish restaurants that
can be found along the seafront, such as those to be found in places like
Valencia, Málaga and Marbella, have excellent views of the sea, coupled with
the fresh air and the natural background music of the crashing waves. Land
bound Spanish restaurants have to rely on the landmarks of the city in which
they are set. In Granada, Spanish restaurants often have excellent views of La
Alhambra or the other examples of ancient architecture.

Architects in Dubai are building the world's first hotel with its own rainforest.
Set to open in 2018, the Rosemont Hotel and Residences will boast over 2 million square feet of hotel, residential, and leisure space, an artificial beach, and a glass-bottom pool suspended above the streets of Dubai.
The hotel, designed by ZAS Architects, will be accommodated by a 47-storey tower that neighbours a twin tower of the same height housing 280 residential properties.
All entertainment facilities — including the 75,000-square-foot rainforest — will be located in the "podium" at the base of the two towers.
As a city made famous by artificial islands and record-breaking architecture, Dubai will no doubt welcome the $550 million (£423.6 million) development project with open arms as it continues to redefine luxury.
Arriving at the hotel is an experience in itself. These artist's renderings show guests being immediately greeted by dynamic 3D projections which will transform the drop-off point into a rainforest or a huge aquarium.

Sugarloaf
mountain, Rio de Janeiro
Few cities can match the epic,
scene-stealing geography of Rio de Janeiro, where the neighbourhoods and
favelas are dwarfed by lush green-coated peaks, ocean bays and long sandy
beaches. If ever there was a city you’d want a bird’s eye view of, it’s this one.
No surprise, then, that the Sugarloaf Mountain cable car is one of Rio’s most
popular attractions, visited by more than 37 million people since opening in
1912 (it has been modernised since then). It has also proved an attractive site
for stunts: it features in a fight scene in the Bond film Moonraker, and has
been walked by tight rope walkers – something to think about as you glide
safely to your destination.

Mérida cable car, Venezuela
Cabrio,
Switzerland
Want to feel the wind in your hair as you ride through the sky? A bit like the cable car equivalent of an open-top bus, the Cabrio cable car has two decks, with the roofless upper deck providing unbeatable photo opportunities of Lake Lucerne below, unobstructed by glass panes or even the cables themselves, which are connected to the sides of the car. The route up to the 1,900-metre Stanserhorn starts on an 120-year-old funicular railway; the Cabrio makes the final trip to the summit, where the panoramic theme can continue with dinner at the Rondorama revolving restaurant.
Mi
Teleférico, Bolivia
While many cable cars
(especially those of the 360-degree rotating variety), are designed as a
tourist novelty, some provide vital transportation. This is the case in La Paz,
which launched its ambitious cable car system in 2014 in response to the city’s
overwhelming traffic problems. The route, which travels from La Paz to the
even-higher-altitude city of El Alto (at 4,150 metres), affords passengers an
impressive view of the city and the Andes. Gliding above the rooftops, the red,
yellow and green gondolas are a great – and affordable – way to see the cities
from a different perspective, while it’s also worth thinking about the cable
car’s role in the lives of the citizens who use it.
