A spring holiday in a seaside resort? Certainly this is the best time to discover and enjoy the city in question: long and warm days without the summer sultriness, vitality in the city without the tourist crowd of July and August, opened shops and restaurant ready to help customers with the joy of starting again the summer season and special offers in hotels and apartments that wait for tourists. This is Lignano Sabbiadoro, sparkling, golden beach on the Upper Adriatic Sea.

The preparations for the new summer season opening are nearly at the end, but already some Lignano hotels and shops, particularly on the main commercial street, opened to the first guests. They come in the seaside resort during weekends, taking advantage of the good spring weather and of the pleasure of walk along the beach and the city centre. With the Easter and especially with the long weekend of St. Mark, on the 25th of April that this year falls on Friday, Lignano will give hospitality to a large number of tourists which will stay more days in a Lignano hotel or apartment, and they will ask more and updated services.

The seaside resort must be ready to welcome the best one can visitors. Hotels already adjusted special offers for this important pre seasonal period: it's essential that the seaside resort begins the bathing season already in April to gradually manage the tourist flow. An holiday in spring can offer more of what people think: on the beach people can do relaxing and long walks breathing healthy sea, practice sport, play with children, besides get tanned under the first sunbeams. In Lignano people can also enjoy lukewarm days to cycle among many cycle tracks from the Tagliamento river mouth, the western border of the seaside resort, to the Marano lagoon, the eastern border, through the funny little streets of the typical snail of Lignano Pineta.

After a day on the beach and at the discovering of the hidden corners of the seaside resort and its surroundings, tourists can rest in a Lignano hotel, profiting by special offers and discounts. For example the Hotel Nettuno, a 3 stars hotel in front of the Adriatic sea in Sabbiadoro, suggests special prices on the stay in April and May both for the bed and breakfast, half board and full board.

Like other hotels, the aim of this Lignano hotel is to meet from the beginning tourist needs, paying more attention to first visitors. With these offers the Lignano hotels want give the chance to all tourists to enjoy special days on the friulian beach, that also in spring and not only during the summer offers particular emotions and feelings.

South Africa is known as the world's top producer of gold and a strong player in politics of Africa. Many would love to visit this country to see its natural parks that many find interesting and simply wonderful. It is very rare to get close to wild animals in their natural habitat.

1.) Kruger National Park

This park is easily the most popular in South Africa where a tourist can view lions, elephants, leopards, buffalos, and rhinos which are commonly popular in movies. But the park has more to offer than these, including some more interesting animals and more flora and fauna than you could imagine in one place. Running alongside this park is the Sabie River, which provides a richer look.

2.) Augrabies Falls

Waterfalls will remain a common attraction for many tourists. The Augrabies Falls is spectacularly special especially when the Oranje has lots of waters, which provides more power to the waterfalls. It will remain a refreshing sight to see especially around South Africa.

3.) Blyde River Canyon

Canyons give one a taste of how nature can both be beautiful and wondrous. And when you get to Mpumalanga, you will be able to find one of the three largest canyons all over the world - the Blyde River canyon. Standing on top of the canyon will make one feel small and insignificant compared to this sight.

4.) Garden Route

One should not miss this exhibit of a paradise known as Garden Route. This runs from Mossel Bay up until Port Elizabeth. Tourists will get their fill of greens and plants that one may not see a lot of in their country of origin.

5.) Hiking opportunities

There are many hiking trails one could check out in South Africa which is almost always possible in all the parks. One should be prepared though to sweat things out a bit because of the temperature. Overall, you will get to appreciate a lot of what you will see as you take a hike and watch the scenery as you pass by.

6.) Durban

Durban offers a lot of opportunities to enjoy the sun and the beach. Here, you could get a sun tan the natural way or take a swim and cool off in the waters. Surprisingly, there is an Indian market in the area where you can indulge on some spicy cuisine if you care for one.

7.) The Cradle of Humankind

Named as one of UNESCO's world heritage sites, The Cradle of Humankind is the place to be when you want to take a firsthand look at the prehistoric times. There are caves and caves filled with fossils of the hominids and apes. You get the chance to view the real thing instead of what is taught in schools alone.

8.) Surfing pleasure

Tired of beaches that have nothing more to offer than swimming, boating, diving, and the usual stuff? You can go to Jeffreys Bay where surfing is commonplace, or you can start riding the big waves here and get a few more highs by competing with the waves. Even beginners or spectators will find the variety a good option.

9.) Ostritch farms

Want to take a look at the world's largest birds? You can try one of the ostrich farms located near Oudtshoorn. You will delight in the experience of seeing these giant birds and even get to see how big their eggs can be.

10.) Robben Island

The island is located off the coast of Cape Town. It owes its popularity to Nelson Mandela where he was taken prisoner for years. People are curious to learn about the conditions of the prison where Mandela was taken and judge for themselves.
