The Selarona staircase in Rio de Janiero is a 125-meter long, mosaic tile stairway. Designed by a Chilean-born artist, it's meant to honor the people of Brazil. The staircase is decorated with more than 2,000 brightly colored tiles from around the world. The project took more than a decade to complete.

Another iconic attraction of Rio de Janeiro is the iconic Christ the Redeemer. A trip to this landmark will include the historic center, the beautiful beaches, and the Maracana stadium. While you're in the city, be sure to take time to shop for souvenirs and other items.

If you're traveling alone, it's essential to have travel insurance. This is particularly important if you plan to partake in adventurous activities. Even if you're just a backpacker, you need to have your belongings covered. The best travel insurance for backpackers is WorldNomads, which offers generous coverage. You can find out more about their coverage by visiting their website.

The Selarona staircase in Rio de Janiero is a set of world famous steps. The stairway was designed by the Chilean-born artist Jorge Selaron, who claimed it was a tribute to the Brazilian people. The staircase has attracted tourists from all over the world to view its beauty and charm.

The staircase's artist started the project in 1990 by purchasing old European tiles at a market and replaced them with Brazilian flag-themed ceramic tiles. This way, the staircase became a living tribute to the people of Brazil, the football team, and the Brazilian flag. The artist began his work as a hobby, selling paintings to finance the project. His efforts grew in popularity, and he eventually had tiles from more than 60 countries.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
