Definitely, a hidden gem. Innsbruck is one of those places that people think there's not much things to see, but is actually WORTH-Visiting! I was planning to just stay here for a day, and go off the next day very early to Munich but ended up staying here for a longer time. Here are the basic information that you need to know: Innsbruck Airport There's a lot of European budget planes like easyjet that goes to Innsbruck Airport You do not really need to book a cab to go from Airport to the city, just get a bus (line F ) from the airport and it's only 2 Euros and you will reach the Hauptbahnof (Central Train Station) in less than 20 minutes.  Obviously it has a lot of stops. Accommodation I stayed in Ibis hotel which was around 90 Euros per night for a twin room.  Surprisingly the room was not the usual small Ibis rooms. It was normal space and it is just right beside the central train station (Hauptbahnof) so it is very convenient. There's even a connection directly from...

Hotels to Stay L'Ouest Hotel is in Gare St Lazarre There is a direct train from Gare du Nord It's within walking distance to the Opera, Notre Dame, etc Tips: First Sunday of the Month and Bastille Day (July 14) - Musee D'Orsay and Louvre are FREE Musee D'Orsay has concessions (discounted ticket) for For everyone from 4.30pm (except Thursdays and Saturdays) For everyone on Thursday evenings, from 6pm Travelling If you are traveling around, the best think is to get a 1, 3, 5 day visit pass

Just beside the Deal Castle is a quiet and tiny but very pretty family-owned Keep House Tea Room.  I tried out their Croque Madam (£6.50) with Kent-ish cheese. It was tasty and good :) Website:  http://www.keephouse.co.uk/ Location: 1 Deal Castle Road (just right opposite Deal Castle)

For those planning to visit Singapore, these are my recommendations if you have 3 - 5 days in Singapore Basic Information You do not really to take a cab, as public transportation is very convenient Bus stops have lists of destinations  But I suggest, just take the MRT as it's the easiest way and you won't get lost From the Airport? Take a cab to the city which will cost around 20+ SGD (Singapore Dollars) OR just take an MRT and will just cost you like around 2.50 SGD :) What to bring? It really is hot! So bring "Summer" clothes and comfortable shoes (or flip flops). A lot of Sun-Screen! Umbrella - around Jan and Feb, it can rain a lot so bring one. Singapore has micro-climates as well so might suddenly rain in one area. Going Out of Singapore  You can take budget flights to Malaysia, Thailand, or other SEA countries I recommend though to take a 3-day trip to Malaysia as follows: Genting (Casino) and Kuala Lumpur (Capital of Malaysia) - 3 ...
