There are few parts of the world as diverse as Europe. From the waterways of Venice to the 100 spires of Prague, there are so many places for you and your other half to explore. There are couples city breaks ideal for every couple; including the party couples and the history buff couples. That being said, there are five cities that we think are particularly worth a visit for romantic couples, so if you and your significant other are looking for an amorous break in Europe, keep reading. Here Are The Top 5 Romantic European City Breaks: 1. Verona: When it comes to romantic couples, Romeo and Juliet take the top spot, and naturally, that makes the city of fair Verona a romantic must-see, but there’s more to it than just that balcony. There are countless lover’s lanes, an abundance of piazza’s, plenty of architectural bridges, and, the star of the show, the amphitheater. There’s so much to see and do away from the huge crowds at Juliet’s balcony, including plenty of independent cafés dotting the many piazza’s, lots of which supply the regional wine. 2. Paris: This wouldn’t be a list of romantic European city breaks without featuring Paris. The city of love certainly lives up to its reputation, but it’s not all just about the Eiffel Tower. A huge part of the romance comes from the beautiful architecture which is limited to just six stories. This means the views of the Eiffel Tower are never obscured, but also that you’re never overshadowed by a huge skyscraper, adding to the comforting sunrise and sunset glows. Away from the architecture, Parisians are known for being very flirtatious and passionate lovers, and this is exuded in the way they conduct themselves. This could be why when in Paris, you can’t help but fall even more in love with your partner. 3. London: The River Thames at night is a sight to behold, especially when you consider it was the backdrop to a Bridget Jones’s Diary scene. London is slightly different from other cities in Europe in the sense that it’s not traditionally associated with romance, but there’s something about the variety of things to do in London that makes it a lover’s paradise. Whether it’s a trip to the West End for the theatre-loving couple, or if it’s a Jack the Ripper tour for the true-crime fanatics, London has something for everyone. 4. Krakow: Christmas is a magical time of the year, especially for those who are lucky enough to be in love, so what better time to cement your devotion to each other than with a trip to the cozy Christmas markets of Krakow? You’ll need to wrap up warm and stick together to preserve heat as the temperature drops, but what could be more poignant than sharing a cup of mulled wine whilst huddling against the person you love the most at the best time of the year? 5. Stockholm: The jewel in the Baltic Sea archipelago, Stockholm is one of the most stunning locations in the world. The 14 islands are connected via over 50 bridges, each one leading to a different activity that you can enjoy with your love. Whether your partner is an ABBA superfan or a 17th-century ship enthusiast, there’s an activity to bring every couple closer together. If you visit during a particularly clear time of the year, you might even be able to share a kiss under the northern lights provided the conditions are just right! These are just five of the most romantic city breaks in Europe, but there are many more places of interest waiting to be discovered.

The lush wilderness, untouched by the hyper modernization, has a bewitching charm to it. The breathtaking scenery, the heavenly water bodies, and the canopy of rainforest all paint a mesmerizing picture, and they all speak about the splendors of Costa Rica. However, despite the serenity and soulful vibe in the country, the question of “Is Costa Rica safe for traveling?” refuses to go away.   There is no denying that amidst the simplicity of life lies the risks of petty and sometimes severe crimes. In fact, the government of the USA and the Canadian Government have created detailed safety guidelines for traveling to Costa Rica.  Here, I will talk about the major safety concerns in the country and the tips to avoid them.   Is Costa Rica Safe for Traveling?  Is Costa Rica Safe for traveling? As mentioned, keep in mind the intimidating crime rate that is looming in the country. Despite the best efforts of the government and additional safety measures in tourist spots, the homicide rate in Costa Rica has seen around 40% rise in 2023.  As a Latin American country, Costa Rica is also taking proactive measures to fight drug consumption and related activities.   However, it’s great that Rodrigo Chaves, the Costa Rica President, has taken El Salvador as a reference and has introduced strict legislation to fight crime in the country.    Having said that, the tourism industry is getting a major lash due to the rise of crimes in the country. Even the smallest incidents affecting the local communities are making the travelers concerned. They are now skeptical about what to end and where to roam around. So, there are a lot of self-imposed restrictions on the things to do in Costa Rica due to rising criminal activities in the country.   So, the bottom line is that despite being a favorite destination for tourists across the globe, Costa Rica today is struggling to maintain a delightful picture in tourism.   Is Costa Rica Safe for Women?   Yes, Costa Rica is safe for women. Even during rising crimes, the country remains a safe place for women as the crimes occurring there are not gender specific.   In fact, the well-known Solo Female Travelers Club has termed Costa Rica one of the safest countries for women who want to go on a solo trip.   Further, the Costa Rican Tourism Board, along with the National Institute of Women and the National Tourism Security Commission, has started a program to establish “gender equality in the tourism industry.” This program called “RED SOFIA” wants to establish a safe space for women solo travelers in Costa Rica and end violence against women travelers.   Is It Safe to Drink Water in Costa Rica?  Now, it depends. If you are in the city, tap water is safe to drink. However, the more you move towards the Caribbean and are closer to the ocean, the better it is to stick to bottled water.   Tourism is crucial for Costa Rica's economy. So, the government is very particular about ensuring the safety of the tourists. In San Jose and other urban areas, you will get clear water from the taps, and the water is filtered multiple times before it reaches you.   However, if you have a sensitive stomach, you may have problems drinking tap water in some parts of Costa Rica. Water in some areas may be rich in chlorine and minerals. The water here does not have fluoride, and it’s hard.   If you are concerned about the quality of water, it is better to drink bottled water. You will usually get a 300 ml (about 10.14 oz) bottled water for $1 here. Further, if you need to spend a longer span in the country and drink water from the same source every day, you must check the source and buy a water filter when needed.   Some Basic Tips to Remain Safe While Traveling   Some of the major dangers you will face as a tourist in Costa Rica are common muggers, petty thefts, and car breakers. Now, a car is not something you will be traveling with. So, there is no chance of a break.   To avoid theft and muggers, carry simple weapons like pepper spray, and it is best not to travel with any valuables like jewelry or gold. Keep a vigilant look at all your electronics, as you won’t be able to travel without them. Stay safe!  Costa Rica’s dangers regarding nature are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. But there are very few chances of you experiencing such disasters.   What Should I Avoid in Costa Rica?  Rather than asking, ‘is Costa Rica safe for traveling?’ You should better be prepared with the question asked above.   Again, no valuables.   Don’t visit the braces at night. Crime rates are high with the area and the time.   Do not buy drugs in Costa Rica. Even avoid marijuana.   Swim near the shore to avoid ripping tides.   Avoid a dip in the river to avoid deadly creatures like crocodiles and bull sharks. They are also not the cleanest place.   Don’t stay out in the sun for too long.

Here are some of the very unique Sahara desert animals list which you could only find in the Sahara Desert. 1. The Famous Silver Ant of Sahara Do you want to confront the fastest and on the earth? Among all 12000 species of ants, these are the fastest and rarest ants on the earth. Cataglyphis bombycina is their scientific name which comes out to forage in midday when the temperature is as high as 70 degrees. This is unique in as much as its activity is restricted to just over ten minutes each day. In this short span, they have to find food and survive; otherwise, they would die. Researchers say that their defense strategy is one of the best in the world. The body shape that the ants have helps them in dispensing heat more easily. Mostly they feed on animal carcasses. 2. Death Stalker Scorpion It is one of the most lethal and deadliest Scorpion species to be found in the Sahara desert. People in other parts often called it Black Scorpio. When it bites, it may cause death if not treated timely.  They only attack when they are feared of death. They hunt only at night and can be found in Wall cracks, in burrows, and under the stones. Among all animals, this is the deadliest animal in the Sahara desert. The tail of the Scorpio is full of venom. They use this venom for hunting the other insects and for proving more safety. One of their unique behaviors is that they like to take their prey by surprise so they hide under rocks and attack unsuspecting small insects. They spring out and tend to grab its victim, however, they are not very strong in their grabbing game so they need to sting the prey at the earliest. 3. Sand Viper In the Viper series, it is the deadliest. The Cerastes vipers can be found in a bunch in the Desert. They are found around 30-40cm and have an expansive, triangular head. The scientific name of the snake is Cerastes vipera which is found in the Arabian Peninsula and Levant. They also have quite tiny eyes.

The nature of the snake is not aggressive and tries to stay stable in the ground however, when it moves there is a crackling or rasping sound. 4. Desert Crocodiles The scientific name of the desert crocodile is Crocodylus suchus and often is confused with the aggressive Nile crocodile. It is hard to believe that crocodiles can survive in the desert because they live in water. They seek out moist areas like caves and burrows and make themselves comfortable. They mostly prefer burrows and caves for their place of being. This also helps them hide and surprise their prey whenever it is walking by. In the rainy season, they come out from their shelter to the lakes. They try to adapt to the dryness of the Sahara desert by trying to find moistness. Among all Sahara animals, this crocodile is addressed as sacred. These crocodiles are larger and relatively more aggressive than the Nile crocodile. Sahara desert animals are all habituated to survive the dry and harsh climate. 5. Monitor Lizards They are cold-blooded animals that are mainly active between the months of September and April. Following this, they go into hibernation. They feed on eggs, fishes, and other lizards, but if they could not find anything to the east, then they might eat birds and other small mammals. The animal knows exactly how to survive in the harsh and extreme climate of the Sahara desert. It is quite aggressive and becomes pretty threatened with encounters during cold seasons. Among all Sahara desert animals, this one is very colorful. This lizard is widely seen in Africa and central and south Asia. The average span for the lizard to live is 8 years. 6. Black-Faced Fire finch This bird is from a unique bird species. The species are less endangered because they can be found abundant in the region of Sub-Saharan Africa. The scientific name of the bird is Lagonosticta larvata. Recently, according to the new report by the BBC, their population is declining very fast. The color of the male’s face is black while the female has more of a gray appearance. These beautiful red birds are another habitant of the Sahara desert.  7. Hyrax They are the thickest herbivorous animals you could find in the Sahara Desert. People there call them small pigs. They usually hide under perforations and came out when they want food or for hunting. They live within a group of 10 to 50 animals and hunt together. Hyrax is another Sahara desert animal which is looking gorgeous with its brown fur. These herbivorous mammals are permanent residents of the Sahara Desert. Though Hyrax is also found in the Gobi desert of Mongolia.  8. African Wild Dogs They are the natives of sub-Saharan Africa, and now they are on the list of endangered species. The scientific name of the animal is Procavia capensis which occurs in the sub-Saharan area of Africa. Their face continuously grows especially the upper incisors and at a certain point, it looks like small tusks. Only about 40 species of these dogs managed to survive, which comprised 6000 adults. These wild dogs are not coming near to extinction among all the Sahara desert animals. The outbreak of diseases, hunting from humans, and other causes like less rainfall in the Sahara Desert cause the decline of African wild Dog species. They are highly socialized reptiles who live and hunt in groups. Their primary source of food is antelopes. Females are the ones who leave their pack when they matured, not men. 9. Red Neck Ostrich These can be found in North Africa, and it is the biggest bird on this planet. The scientific name of the bird is Struthio camelus camelus. This bird is one of the extant subspecies and lives in some of the harshest climates in the Sahara. They have a mix of pink and red long necks and can grow up to 10 feet. The male ones have black and white feathers as opposed to females, who possess grey feathers. Now, due to the increase in Ostrich farming around the world, the population of these species is declining rapidly. They are extinct in 12 countries and are now limited to only six countries. This desert Ostrich is coming near to extinction. Only a few are left. 10. African Silver Bill They are the most adaptive Saharan Birds. They usually live in arid places, and so Sahara is the perfect place to live for them. The scientific name of the bird is Euodice cantans living mostly in the south of Africa. The African Silverbill is also very sociable, like African Wild Dogs. They usually eat Grass and seeds. Among all Sahara desert animals, this bird species is an example of a small passerine bird. The size of the bird is about 4 and a half inches long. 11. Saharan Cheetah Meet the fastest one among all the Sahara desert animals. One of the top Predators in the Sahara is Cheetah. Sadly their species are endangered, and only about 300 mature adults are left in the Sahara. The African cheetah has its scientific name as Acinonyx jubatus hecki and is considered a subspecies native of the Saharan desert. They can be found in the western parts of the Sahara. They mainly hunt at night, and their favorite prey is antelope, but sometimes they also hunt rabbits. 12. Addax Antelope An endangered species, which is now becoming very rare to be seen, is Sahara desert animals. The main reason for wiping out this species is the excess of hunting. These species are mainly locals of Niger and Chad. The addax is a desert-adapted African antelope with the scientific name Addax nasomaculatus. The animal is almost on the verge of being exterminated. These are characterized by their long twisted horns, and the color of their coat is mainly white.
