Paris holidays in more detail

What are the best options for a paris holiday.

A surprisingly small city with an extremely big reputation, Paris needs no introduction. It is often, and deservedly, referred to as the most romantic city in the world, and one that has a new discovery around each cobbled corner, both for the first time visitor and for the many who are hit by the Paris bug and return time and time again.

Every street reveals a famous landmark, museum or the ideal people watching café (one of our favourite pastimes) and Paris is definitively a walking city, so take the time to explore its hidden streets and seek out the endless antique shops and patisseries before heading for the must-see sights that line its leafy boulevards.

Paris is also renowned for its fantastic food, and with its wide selection of traditional bistros, trendy restaurants and Michelin-starred establishments, it is easy to see why it is a second heaven for food lovers. We are constantly updating our Paris Dossier with the latest, greatest places to eat, so you can hit the ground running on a gourmet long weekend safe in the knowledge we've done the research for you. It was a tough gig, but somebody had to eat their body weight in escargot.

And then there are the hotels. Literally thousands of them ranging from backpacker dorms to grande dames and spread across the arrondisements. After yet more research, we've narrowed our selection of hotels down to a hallowed few that we have chosen for that all important combination of value, location, service, comfort and je ne sais quoi that makes for the perfect Paris city break hotel.

So now you know the best places to stay, see and eat, what are you waiting for? Paris awaits…

Don’t take our word for it, see what our travellers say

Exploring mexico, april 2022.

Best holiday ever! Cannot praise the rough guides team enough! They worked with us to make our over ambitious plans more realistic, booked our hotels, travel, guides and site visits. Everything ran like clockwork and we even made a few last minute changes while in Mexico. Our guides were fun and incredibly knowledgeable about historic sites- so much more interesting than reading a guide book. It was a completely stress-free and wonderful trip. Love Mexico!

exploring Costa Rica, March 2022

My daughter and I had an amazing week…My daughter and I had an amazing 1 week trip to Costa Rica in celebration of her 40th birthday. Rough guides asked and listened to our vacation goals and with a helpful brief back and forth dialogue, they put together an amazing itinerary that meet all of our objectives. From the transportation drivers, who picked us up at the airport and moved us to the 3 hotels chosen by Rough Guides (two in the rainforest and our last on the beach), then back to the airport for our departure. To the guides and providers (chosen through Rough Guides) of the seven adventures planned, we couldn't have asked for more friendly, professional and courteous service.I would recommend Rough Guides to any individual or group wanting to plan a vacation. We will be using their services again.

exploring Belize, August 2021

The trip was designed exactly as we had planned for. The communication was great through the portal. All the bookings and information provided was on the dot. The trip was tailored to our liking. We adjusted the trip over a weeks time and it turned out to be perfect for us. Thanks.

Central america, middle east, south america, educational group, testimonials.

Thank you, Go tailored Travel, for our amazing safari! We were intrigued by the lions, cheetahs, black and white rhinos, elephants, etc. Lake Nakuru and the flamingos were fantastic! We appreciated our  driver James who was reliable and knew where we could find all the animals in a limited time. He was prompt, professional, and the first person that we met upon arrival in Nairobi and the last person we saw when dropped off for our return.

Eve, Sandy , and Chloe, Montreal

I wanted to say one final thank you for such an amazing vacation in NYC.

I genuinely had one of the greatest vacations of my life and got to experience such an artistic, cultural and most importantly, educational trip.   

Anthony, Montreal

The February 2020 BNI Cruise was the perfect balance between learning in the various seminars provided as well as meeting and networking with BNI members, directors and franchise owners from around the world. There was ample time to see the sites and enjoy all the great things cruises have to offer.    Knowing now how well organized and professional the cruise was I can’t wait to book the 2022 BNI Networking Cruise. Thank you Brenda and Rhona for your fantastic travel expertise and organization. Simply wonderful. Nothing more could be asked for! Again Thank you.

Ron and Terry, Montreal

After a year of being apart, we're ready to reconnect with loved ones on a family trip. We can’t wait to see the Colosseum through our grandchildren's eyes and the trip to Italy,  June 2022  that you've planned for us is in our sights. Thank you Go Tailored Travel.

Joe and Arlene, Montreal

Best BNI experience ever! The international approach of Business Network International encouraged me to attend the cruise on Celebrity Equinox and meet Dr. Ivan and Beth Misner, BNI members, directors and franchise owners from the US, Canada, Japan, Luxemburg, Kenya etc. BNI works internationally, no doubt. Thanks to Dr. Ivan Misner, Hazel Walker and Francois Garon for their inspiring and valuable inputs about networking! Thanks to Beth Misner for offering Tai Chi class and organizing the BNI foundation walkathon!  Special thanks to Brenda and Rhona Pinsky who did all the organization and administration!

Michael, Berlin

Brenda & Rhona: Many thanks to both of you for organizing this BNI Networking Week Cruise & for your kindness towards all of the participants. We know it was not easy to find a last-minute cabin for us. We spent time & energy to make it work & we really appreciate all you've done to make it happen :)    We wish you all the best.

Alex & Gene, Luxembourg

Brenda, we thank you for organizing our trip to South Africa. Your professional expertise, attention to details and assistance throughout was much appreciated. We adored stylish Cape Town and its vibrant nightlife, visiting the award-winning wineries and exploring Kruger National Park. Congrats goTailoredTravel… You’re the best!

Arlene G. Montreal, QC

Rhona, our trip to the Galapagos was exceptional! We walked among the penguins, sea lions, blue footed boobies and giant tortoises.  And our extended stay at an Andean estancia was magical. From the hand-embroidery workshop, archaeological sites, cheese factory and equestrian challenges, we had the ultimate experience. Thank you for handling all the details so we could enjoy every moment in Ecuador.

Terry, Hudson, QC

Our family getaway to Costa Rica was perfect. Thank you Rhona and goTailoredTravel for being so tuned in to our needs. Rest, surf, beach, amazing culture, delicious meals was exactly what the Dr ordered. We’re ready to plan our next adventure.

Sandra, Forrest Hills, NY

We traveled to China and treasured the fabulous attractions in Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Guilin and now we’re off to Europe for our culinary and art lover experience. Our travels have always exceeded expectations from unparalleled personalized tours and guides to A1 choice hotels at every destination. Brenda, we’re thrilled that you always follow through with our every request. Please share our breathtaking picture taken in Guilin.

Maggy, Ft Lauderdale, FL

We had an unforgettable “foodie” fest in Peru! Our entire epicurean tour was spectacular from mouth-watering traditional dishes at Lima’s Huaca Pucllana, right at the Inca excavation site, to exploring typical Peruvian markets and cooking with Chefs and from feasting on delicious seafood signature dishes to sampling fine wine. Thanks Rhona and goTailoredTravel. We salivate just thinking about our next culinary adventure.

Mark and Bev, Olympia, WA

This was an extraordinary tailor-made trip to Positano, Ravello, Amalfi and Capri with exciting culinary surprises, brilliant accommodations, flawless service, terrific guides, and NO glitches .

Mandy, Burlington, VT

Thanks, for organizing this memorable trip to Argentina. Your attention to every detail was much appreciated. The accommodations were luxurious and well located. The guides and drivers were highly professional, attentive and every day was filled with fun, learning experiences. Rhona, we’ll have to stop by to share photos and stories about our trip. Here is one of our favorite penguin pics.

Peter, Montreal, QC

We had such a great time in Spain and our son had a blast!  The soccer game was crazy fun and he loved it. He wants to go back and see more of Gaudi’s work which is thrilling to hear because life is not just about soccer! Our tours ran like clockwork with exceptional guides and drivers. The wine and culinary tours were extraordinary and the hotels were excellent. We are recommending you Rhona and  goTailoredTravel to everyone we know who likes to travel well.

Nancy, Montreal, QC

goTailoredTravel understands what distinguishes Africa is its authenticity, the land, people and wildlife. We were totally immersed in the culture and the Big Five. All the connections were spot on and the lodges and camps were great- 1st class. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge and Kusini Camp Serengeti were incredibly beautiful and luxurious. What an epic trip of a lifetime.

Barbara & Justin, Baltimore, Md

Our trip to Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines was the journey of a lifetime with sensational guides and a fabulous stay at the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge! We relied on your firsthand knowledge and Brenda you were an amazing resource. We also appreciated your impeccable service above and beyond and being able to update our plans while travelling.

Susan, London, ON

Thank you Rhona for arranging our very special, tailor-made family vacation to Hawaii. Along with renewing our wedding vows our family of 5 toured Pearl Harbor in Oahu, surfed and cliff jumped in Maui, snorkeled in hidden coves in Kona, zip lined through beautiful valleys in Kauai, and even explored volcanoes in Hilo. The renewal of our wedding vows in a Japanese garden in Kauai with our 3 children will be forever etched in our memories.

Jeff, Montreal, QC

We tried to organize a trip to Spain and Portugal...piece of cake we thought! It just was too frustrating. After one call to go TailoredTravel , flights were arranged to meet up on route. The entire tour was personalized to taste, with better pricing, plus extras we hadn’t considered!

El & Laura, Toronto, ON

goTailoredTravel customized a flawless itinerary for our holiday in San Gimignano. The organized tours and beautiful inns were perfect. The arranged meals in local, quaint cafes and the spectacular wines were fantastic.  When our car rental was not on hand, we made do with a sporty Alfa Romeo, with 6 speed plus overdrive on twisty, winding Tuscan roads. WHAT FUN!

Jim, Montreal, QC

Thank you! goTailoredTravel.  Iceland was astounding and the people were amazing. We saw a Hump Back Whale, the Northern Lights, walked on a Glacier, swam in the Blue Lagoon and much more. In 37 years of holidays our visit to Iceland was the best experience to date.

Jess, Baltimore, MD

goTailoredTravel organized an unforgettable safari experience to South Africa that exceeded all our expectations. From the luxurious lodge, the exotic food to the game drive adventures and to an arranged special anniversary celebration, it was perfect. 

Lucy, Montreal, QC

Rhona, the Alaska trip that you tailor-made just for us, could not have been better! The choice of cruise line, cabin type and location, personalized land tours, excursions, and the addition of the best local restaurants was perfect. We were put at ease and reassured throughout the entire planning process. Call it hand-holding and it worked for us! We are currently planning another trip with confidence that it too will be exceptional.

The Red Square and beyond: a guide to Moscow’s neighbourhoods

Apr 23, 2019 • 6 min read

The Red Square, Kremlin and St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow at night © Mordolff / Getty Images

One of the world’s largest cities, Moscow is a true metropolis whose ancient neighbourhoods are interspersed with newly built high-rises, inhabited by people from all over the former Soviet Union.

It’s also the city of rings: the innermost is the Kremlin itself; further away are the former defensive rings, Boulevard Ring and Garden Ring; still further are the Third Ring Road and the MKAD, which delineates the city’s borders. There’s an ongoing joke that Moscow Mayor is the Lord of the Rings. Most sights are contained within the Garden Ring, although for some more authentic neighbourhoods one has to venture further out. To help you explore Moscow’s diversity, we picked our favourite ’hoods – but this list is by no means exhaustive.

The Red Square and around

It can be argued that Moscow, or even the whole of Russia, starts at the  Red Square  – it’s an absolute must-see for any visitor. After standing in line to check out Lenin’s granite  mausoleum , go to GUM , Moscow's oldest department store. Full of luxury shops, it’s famous for the glass roof designed by one of Russia’s most celebrated architects, Vladimir Shukhov. Apart from architectural wonders, GUM has several places to eat including the Soviet-style cafeteria Stolovaya No 57 where you can sample mysterious-sounding delicacies such as the ‘herring in a fur coat’.

On the opposite side of GUM, Kremlin ’s walls and towers rise above the Red Square. Walk through the Alexander Garden  and past the grotto to the Kremlin’s entrance. It’s a treasure trove for any art and history lover: ancient gold-domed churches, icons galore and the resting place of Moscow tsars.

On the other side of the Red Square is Moscow's symbol,  St Basil's Cathedral with its multi-colored domes. Right behind it is the newly built Zaryadye Park , which showcases flora from all over Russia; another attraction is the floating bridge jutting out above the embankment and the Moscow river. A glass pavilion nearby hosts Voskhod , a space-themed restaurant with dishes from all 15 former Soviet Union republics. It’s a perfect spot for a classy evening meal and there’s often live music.

Patriarch’s Ponds

The Patriarch’s Ponds (aka Patriki) is a historical neighbourhood, celebrated in Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita . Located right off Tverskaya street, Moscow’s main thoroughfare, Patriki recently became the city’s most happening quarter. It has some of the most elegant architecture, including several buildings by art-nouveau genius Fyodor Shekhtel. Narrow streets here have a cozy feel, with recently widened sidewalks and bike lanes. In the summer it becomes party central.

Start by checking out free exhibitions or one of the cutting-edge performances at the experimental theatre Praktika . But make no mistake, the neighbourhood’s main attraction are its bars and restaurants. Patriki’s residents are well-off Russians and expats, so it’s no wonder that  Moscow’s recent culinary revolution started here. Uilliam’s , one of the pioneers of this foodie movement, still rules over the scene with its floor-to-ceiling windows. Also try AQ Chicken  for everything chicken-related, Patara  for a taste of Georgian cuisine, and Cutfish for some great sushi. Finish your gastronomic tour with original cocktails at Pinch or the Moscow outpost of NYC restaurant Saxon+Parole .

Around Kursky train station

For a long time, Kursky train station was surrounded by semi-abandoned factories and the area was best avoided. It all changed in the late 2000s, when a dilapidated wine factory was turned into Winzavod , a mecca for fans of contemporary art. Today these red-brick buildings are occupied by some of Moscow’s leading galleries. After taking in all the art, pop in the small wine bar Barrell  for a glass from burgeoning wineries of Russia’s south or grab a bite at Khitrye Lyudi  cafe.

Right next to Winzavod is Artplay , another refurbished factory full of design and furniture shops and large exhibition spaces.  It’s also home to  Pluton , one of the latest additions to Moscow’s dance scene. Other Pluton residents are the multimedia art gallery Proun  and another lunch option,  Shanhaika , with authentic Chinese cuisine.

A short walk away is Arma, where a cluster of circular gas holders has been turned into offices, restaurants and clubs including Gazgolder  (it belongs to one of Russia’s most famous rappers, Basta). Apart from hip-hop concerts, Gazgolder organises regular techno parties that sometimes go non-stop from Friday to Monday.

If you’re interested in religious architecture, Taganka is the place to go. First of all, see the old Moscow at Krutitskoye Podvorye – one of those places where nothing seems to have changed in centuries. The monastery was founded in the 13th century, but in the 16th century it became the home of Moscow metropolitans and most of the surviving buildings are from that epoch. Take a tour of the grounds, and don’t miss the interior and icons of the Assumption Cathedral.

Your next stop is the Rogozhskoe settlement of ‘old believers’, a branch that split from Russian Orthodoxy in the 17th century. The settlement is dominated by an 80m-tall bell tower. The yellow-coloured Intercession Church, built in neoclassical style with baroque elements, has an important collection of icons. Next to the church grounds is the popular Trapeznaya cafeteria, with Russian food cooked using traditional recipes – a perfect spot for lunch.

A short ride away is Andronikov Monastery, which today houses the Rublyov Museum  in the old monks’ quarters. There’s a great collection of ancient Orthodox icons although none by Andrei Rublyov, who was a monk here in the 15th century. The main attraction at the monastery is the small Saviour’s Cathedral, considered the oldest surviving church in Moscow.

Finish the day at the craft-beer cluster around Taganskaya metro station. Varka offers both Russian and imported labels, with the Burger Heroes stand serving arguably the best burgers in town. Craft & Draft looks more like a respectable old-fashioned pub, with decent food, 20 beers on tap and a hundred types of bottled brews.

Khamovniki is Moscow’s ancient textile district, named after the word kham  (a type of cloth). Two main thoroughfares, Ostozhenka and Prechistenka, cut through the neighbourhood parallel to each other. The former turned into the so-called ‘Golden Mile’ of Moscow in the 1990s, with the highest real-estate prices and some of the best examples of new Russian architecture, while the latter is still mostly lined up with impressive 19th-century mansions.

Khamovniki is somewhat of a literary quarter, as several museums devoted to Russia’s best-known writers – among them  Leo Tolstoy , Alexander Pushkin  and Ivan Turgenev – popped up here during the last century. There’s also plenty to see for an art lover. The  Multimedia Art Museum regularly hosts exhibitions by some of the best photographers from all over the world, as well as contemporary art. Several galleries, including RuArts  and Kournikova Gallery , have also found home in Khamovniki.

When you’ve had your fill of literature and art, stop by Gorod Sad on Ostozhenka, an outpost of a local health-food chain, and order dishes such as pumpkin soup or grilled vegetables salads. Afterwards, head to Dom 12 , which is located just off Ostozhenka street. This restaurant and wine bar is frequented by the city’s intellectuals and its schedule includes lectures, book presentations and film screenings, while in the summer guests migrate to a lovely courtyard.

What can you do at Moscow City?

• Dine in style: Moscow City is home to 100+ cafes and restaurants, including Europe’s highest restaurant and ice-cream shop

Moscow City is a multifunctional complex in the west of Moscow, which has come to represent the booming business of Russia’s capital. Its skyscrapers enrich Moscow’s skyline, contrasting the medieval cupolas and Stalinist high-rises. Visitors to Moscow City can enjoy entertainment high in the sky, as the complex is home not just to offices, but to restaurants, cinemas, viewing platforms, and museums.

History of Moscow City

Moscow City was first conceived in 1991 by honoured Soviet architect Boris Tkhor, who proposed to construct a business center in Moscow. It would be complete with gleaming skyscrapers rivalling those of New York and London, to reflect the new life and growing ambitions of post-Soviet Russia.

The chosen site was a stone quarry and disused industrial zone in western Moscow, in between the Third Ring Road and Moskva River. Initially, the territory was divided into 20 sections arranged in a horseshoe shape around a central zone. The skyscrapers would increase in height as they spiralled around the central section, with shorter structures built on the waterfront to give the taller buildings behind a view of the river. 

Architect Gennady Sirota, who contributed to iconic projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex on Prospekt Mira, was selected as the chief architect, and many other world-famous architects were attracted to Moscow to realise their visions in Moscow City.

What can you see and do at Moscow City?

Where Moscow’s cityscape was once dominated by Stalin’s Seven Sisters skyscrapers , this is no more. Moscow City is home to eight of Russia’s ten tallest buildings, six of which exceed 300 metres in height. More buildings are still under construction there today, including the One Tower (which will be Europe’s second-tallest building). Once completed, Moscow City will comprise more than 20 innovative structures.

Each of Moscow City’s skyscrapers was designed by its own architect, lending the cluster of skyscrapers a unique appearance. Aside from being a site of architectural wonder, Moscow City is a place for leisure and entertainment with over 100 cafes and restaurants, exhibition spaces, cinemas, viewing platforms, and more.
