Georgia’s capital Tbilisi is a beguiling blend of European, eastern, medieval and Soviet culture. The city offers up a cocktail of different characters from the faded elegance of the Chugureti neighbourhood to the late-medieval jumble of the old town and the monumental Soviet Mother of Georgia sculpture on the hillside. With cheap, abundant food and low-cost activities, Tbilisi is the perfect destination for a budget break. Here’s what to do, where to eat and how to get around the city. What to do in Tbilisi on a budgetOne of the most wallet-friendly things you can do in Tbilisi is simply wand...

Das Po-Delta erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von rund 500 km2 im Nordosten Italiens. Etwa eine Stunde südlich von Venedig gelegen, gehören die von Flüssen durchzogenen Feuchtgebiete zu den größten im Mittelmeerraum. Teilweise durch langsame Sedimentation und teilweise durch menschliche Eingriffe entstanden, ist der Park ein komplexes Mosaik aus Lagunen, Sümpfen, Stränden und Ackerland. Das von der UNESCO anerkannte Biosphärenreservat kämpft jedoch seit langem gegen das Vordringen des Adriatischen Meeres. Ein neu entfachtes Projekt für Gasbohrungen vor der Küste weckt nun neue Ängste vor Übersc...

El delta del Po, el segundo humedal más grande de Europa, ocupa una superficie de unos 500 km2 en el noreste de Italia. Situados a una hora al sur de Venecia, los humedales surcados por ríos son de los más extensos y ricos del mar Mediterráneo. Creado en parte por la lenta sedimentación y en parte por los esfuerzos humanos de recuperación, el parque es un complejo mosaico de lagunas, marismas, playas y tierras de cultivo. Sin embargo, la reserva de la biosfera, designada por la UNESCO, libra una larga batalla contra la invasión del mar Adriático. Ahora, la reactivación de un proyecto de prospe...

The Po Delta covers an area of around 500 km2 in northeast Italy. Located around an hour south of Venice, the wetlands veined with rivers are some of the largest and richest in the Mediterranean. Partly created by slow sedimentation and partly by human reclamation efforts, the park is a complex mosaic of lagoons, marshes, beaches and farmland. However, the UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve is engaged in a long-standing battle against the encroaching Adriatic Sea. Now, a reignited project to drill for gas offshore is prompting fresh fears of flooding. Italy’s UNESCO-designated delta is sinkin...

Italy's lakes have a firm place in our collective imagination as the epitome of luxury: dreamscapes peppered with yachts, ivy-clad villas and picturesque fishing villages, all crowned with the snow-capped Alps in the background. But when push comes to shove, most people can only name two: Lake Como, Hollywood's very own European enclave with its never-ending array of celebrity-owned waterfront manors; and Lake Garda, whose sprawling beaches and Mediterranean microclimate have made it an obvious tourist favourite. As summer approaches, Euronews Travel looks at a few other lakes dotted around th...

Die zunehmende Wasserknappheit kann nach Ansicht der UN-Kulturorganisation Unesco Konflikte auf der ganzen Welt anfachen. «Wenn wir den Frieden bewahren wollen, müssen wir nicht nur schnell handeln, um die Wasserressourcen zu schützen, sondern auch, um die regionale und globale Zusammenarbeit in diesem Bereich zu stärken», sagte Generaldirektorin Audrey Azoulay anlässlich der Veröffentlichung des jährlichen Unesco-Wasserberichts. Demnach leidet etwa die Hälfte der Weltbevölkerung zumindest saisonal unter schwerer Wasserknappheit. Und mehr als zwei Milliarden Menschen leben ohne Zugang zu saube...

By Joëlle GARRUS Paris (AFP) - Il est "indispensable" d'assurer à l'ensemble des pays de la planète "un approvisionnement en eau sûr et équitable" pour favoriser leur prospérité et, par ricochet, la paix, souligne le rapport annuel sur l'eau publié vendredi par l'Unesco pour ONU-Eau. Etablir le lien direct entre eau et prospérité est "un peu empirique", alors que certains pays peu pourvus en or bleu sont bel et bien florissants, reconnaît Richard Connor, rédacteur en chef du rapport paraissant pour la Journée mondiale de l'eau. Il l'explique donc a contrario : "Sans accès à une eau propre, les...
