Gadling Take FIVE- April 4-April 10
There are still travel deals out there and specials to keep your eye on. Plus, with spring comes certain events that can mean discounts. Here are Gadling posts from this past week that point to the diversity in travel pleasures from the free to the less expensive.
- In Italy, from April 18 to 26, it's Italian Culture Week. As Alison wrote, this means many attractions are free, and in some cases, the only time during the year when they are open to the public..
- One trend that's great news for travelers is the one where upscale restaurants are offering less expensive meals. Tom's post on pris fixe menus is a reminder that these are the days when deals can appear where you least expect them.
- Not only are higher end restaurants becoming cheaper, so is New Zealand. Grant outlined ten reasons why a person should go to New Zealand sooner than later.
- One detail about spring is the loveliness of flowers that belong to every one who is lucky enough to pass by flowerbeds and/or flowering trees every day. In the Netherlands the tulips are everyone's treasure. Scott has the scoop on KLM's very own tulip. The tulip was acquired as part of KLM's 90th year birthday celebration.
- With wedding season upon us, Annie found a great deal for people who are looking for wedded bliss AND happen to have family and friends with money. The Ritz-Carlton hotel chain is running a wedding special that sounds divine. It does follow the adage, "it takes money to make money" or something like that.
And one more. If you haven't watched this video taken at the Antewerp Belgium train station, you've missed out on a feel good time. It's sort of a Sound of Music for everyone extravaganza. Here's handing you a smile that will cost you nothing to get.
