48 hours in Athens
Article Abstract:
It is particularly worth visiting Athens, Greece, in spring, when the weather is pleasant and there are not too many tourists. Travelling at this time of year also means that air fares are lower than in high season. The city has a wide range of accommodation, and its centre is very compact, even though the city as a whole is very large. It is worth walking around the old town, Plaka, and it is particularly worth seeing the Acropolis at sunrise. Other attractions include the district of Neapoli and the Archaeological Museum.

Give me a break: New York on 500 pounds sterling
Article Abstract:
It is still possible to travel to New York, NY, relatively cheaply from the UK, although very low fares are not available during the summer season. The city's underground railway system makes it easy to reach any destination, and there is a range of inexpensive accommodation. Interesting places to visit include Battery Park, the Frick Collection, South Street Seaport and the shopping malls of New Jersey. The best place for an evening meal is the Tavern on the Green, situated just inside Central Park.
