Lu restaurant is arguably the best restaurant in Morelia, if not one of the best in Mexico. Named for Chef Lucero Soto, the restaurant is housed in an 18th-century building right in Morelia’s historic center.

 

“We’re still the place that people stop through on their way somewhere else,” said Antonio Guzman, the manager at Lu Cocina Michoacana. We're sitting across from the plaza, having coffee and talking about tourism in Michoacan's capital city, Morelia.

The View Skybar & Restaurant at the Riverton Hotel offers a spectacular sunset view of the harbor of Gothenburg.

The most expensive city in Europe is Stockholm, Sweden. The glam capital was the obvious destination on my recent trip through Scandinavia but I instead chose to visit Sweden’s second largest city, Gothenburg. As I’ve found with many second cities, Gothenburg is naturally less congested, less expensive, and less touristic than Stockholm or other famous capitals.

Riding the smart travel trend between California and Europe ---

It’s a great time to be a traveler and smart travelers are being rewarded in many ways for their pursuit of quality and value. Like any smart consumer, smart travelers are not simply focused on the lowest cost options for hotels, flights, dining, etc. – they want quality of product and experience, and they’re not interested in paying for unnecessary frills or extras. They are value seekers, not price shoppers. And they are open to brands and destinations that are new, non-traditional or unfamiliar. Finally, smart travelers are not held hostage by dramatic and distorted reporting of terrorism, viruses, or economic doom. In fact, they know that the best time to travel is when the crowds are traveling less due to various fears or seasonal habits.

Son buscadores de valor, no compradores de precios. Y están abiertos a las marcas y destinos que son nuevos, no tradicionales o poco familiares.
