New York - America's Venice? Instead of a gondola taxi?

Will we ride gondolas around New York in the future? If you're thinking of moving to the capital of the world, we suggest you invest in flood insurance and a gondola, you know, that long, narrow boat with curves at the ends that's intrinsically associated with Venice.

Let the swimming pool 2016 and let the spas 2016 in Slovenia be...

We are the well-known winners of the campaign Naj kopališče 2016, in which bathers chose the winners in six categories for the 26th time, namely among small, medium and large thermal baths, annual and natural baths and indoor swimming pools.

And which Slovenian natural swimming pool did we choose as the best swimming pool of 2016? Even more than that, we're interested in who the winners are among the indoor and thermal pools we've moved to now that summer's gone bye-bye. All the answers can be found below.

The House of Horrors in Črešnjeveci - a place where your nightmares come to life

The recently opened House of Horrors or The House of Horrors in Črešnjeveci near Gornja Radgona doesn't look particularly scary from the outside, but once you cross its threshold, it's like living your worst nightmare from which you can't wake up. When the chirping of birds is replaced by ominous music and sounds like from Stephen King movies, when you find yourself in pitch darkness and when a creepy clown greets you from the fog, even the bravest's blood freezes. Do you dare to visit it? Visit at your own risk!

On one of the roof terraces near Parliament and the Palace of Westminster, the first nudist sunbathing terrace has been opened, where you can enjoy yourself completely naked on deckchairs, in hammocks, jump on a trampoline and have refreshments in the bar, without being looked at strangely.
