Have a great trip!
We will be arriving soon for our first visit to Las Vegas. Can you send some info on low cost hotels, attractions, maps of downtown and the strip. We also need info on the DASH, and monorail. Thanks, Trinidad McGee, San Diego
Hi. We’d recommend Rome as so much of it has been used in movies over the years. Top of the list would be the locations used in Angels and Demons with Tom Hanks. See: Angels and Demons Filming Locations. Other options are Prague where Charles Bridge and many other locations were used in Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise or the city of Bruges where most city center locations were used in the movie “In Bruges” with Colin Farrell.
Hi. We’re from the US and we like to visit places we’ve seen in movies. We’re planning to do Europe next year, so cCan you recommend some locations from movies we will have seen?
We only recommend hotels we have actually stayed in, but fortunately the one we had in Florence was absolutely superb and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It’s called Hotel L’Orologio and we’ve written a dedicated page to it here…

Hi. We are planning a short break with some children with disablites for 2012 (before the olympics). Can you let us know if Buckingham Palace will be open earlier than the end of July next year – looking to come middle/early July
Thanks
