			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you <strong><a href="http://www.travelsphere.co.uk/destinations/europe/" target="_blank">tours to Italy</a></strong>, you should go to Torino and Pisa. Because both places have a history and a wonderful place to visit. Torino is located in the Po region in northwest Italy. This, with a population of 1.17 million, is the capital of Piemonte. In addition, the Torino is an important center of industry, commerce and culture in Italy.</p>
<p>Torino is a city famous for its history. It was once the capital of the Kingdom of Lombardy and the Kingdom of Sardinia. Until 1865, still the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. So the city has many histories places of the most famous is Madama palace built in the Middle Ages. Barocco Over time, many architects who designed and built many fine buildings such as palaces, castles, villas, town hall, the Cathedral, Piazza San Carlo and so on for this city. Antoneli wooden tower built in the nineteenth century is still the symbol of this city until now.</p>
<p>The Torino industry is on high level. The company Fiat, Italy&#8217;s famous private business, located in Torino. The whole city growing rapidly with leading companies. Auto Exhibition held in each year is one of the most important exhibitions in the world.</p>
<p>In <strong><a href="http://www.travelsphere.co.uk/destinations/europe/" target="_blank">Italy tours</a></strong>, Pisa is in the northwest of Florence. In history, this is the city with the sea. Because the land is developed, the distance from Pisa to the sea became more distant and more distant. But this can not make people forget the history that had republic Torino at sea with great strength and importance of it to make a tache between west and east. In addition, only indebted to art history and construction of Pisa became famous for his journey.</p>
<p>At most, should be indebted to the reputation of Pisa Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tower was completed in 1350 although the project began in early 1174. When building the third floor of the tower, one finds that there is some slope to the tower grounds groundsill, structures and so forth. So this project is stopped. Later, another governor that uses a new architect to bringthis project.</p>

<p>The ways in which Amsterdam keeps its marvellous architectural heritage alive is the focus of a new handy guidebook.</p>
<div>
<h2>Architectural history</h2>
<p>Amsterdam is renowned for its numerous fine old buildings. The city’s magnificent 17<sup>th</sup> century architectural heritage has been carefully guarded throughout the ages, but the preservation of more recent additions has not always been taken for granted. Behind many such buildings, especially those whose function has changed over time, are interesting stories.</p>
<p><em>A New Life For Old Buildings</em> is a pocket-sized guidebook by architectural historian Annemarie Wijn which sets out to share some of these stories, giving insight into how Amsterdam´s architectural heritage is adapted for changing times. It is conveniently structured around a number of routes, which can be followed on foot, bicycle or boat.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Travel through the centuries</h2>
<p>Some forty buildings are described in the walks. The original architecture and style of every building is detailed and the most important aspects of the restoration and re-use are described. The guide offers an overview of all the building styles that have been used in Amsterdam over the past seven centuries, placed in the context of the historic development and growth of the city.</p>
<p>Below are two of the buildings described by Wijn which are no examples of new lives for old buildings.</p>
<p><span id="more-108"></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<h2>The Olympic Stadium</h2>
<p>< align="right"></p>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img title="Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam" src="http://www.iamsterdam.com/getasset.aspx?id=12457_live&amp;template=content_paragraph_medium" alt="Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<p></><br />
Amsterdam’s Olympic Stadium was built for the 1928 Olympic Games, which the city hosted. Although seating capacity was subsequently extended, the stadium gradually fell out of favour for the hosting of sporting events. In 1987, the city announced plans to demolish the building and erect housing in its place, but its timely inclusion on the national list of historical monuments (<em>monumentenlijst</em>) thwarted this unhappy fate. The attractive brick structure has now been beautifully restored and once again serves as an arena for sporting events.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h2>Entrepot Dock</h2>
<p>When the Entrepot Dock was completed in 1830, it was the largest bonded warehouse complex in Europe, used for the temporary storage of goods in transit (therefore untaxed). The city’s plans to demolish the complex were intercepted by a neighbourhood committee which came up with a plan to rejuvenate the stately warehouses, with commercial space on the ground floor and housing in the upper floors. Situated adjacent to Artis, the city zoo, Entrepot Dock has become a delightful multifunctional neighbourhood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.amsterdam.info/coffeeshops/abraxas/abraxas-amsterdam.jpg" border="1" alt="Coffee shop Abraxas Amsterdam" width="160" height="230" align="right" />With a name steeped in ancient history and occultism, Abraxas is a coffeeshop with a definite hippy vibe. Located in a set of monumental buildings that used to serve as a restaurant and bar, Abraxas opened its doors in 1992 and has since become a key fixture in the Amsterdam coffeeshop scene.</p>
<p><strong>Atmosphere</strong><br />
The original Abraxas was decorated very differently to today, with graffiti-covered s and a rougher feel. Today, the hand-crafted mosaics found decorating the walls and floors combine with warm colours and a rambling layout to give a relaxed, laid back atmosphere. Large, low couches mean that even large groups can relax around one , centered on the huge ceramic ashtrays that form the centerpieces. Music is kept at a decent level and generally steers clear of chart hits or the pounding techno found in some Amsterdam coffeeshops, although there is often a more relaxed electronic beat. If you&#8217;re planning to chill out for a while Abraxas offers internet access and board games to keep you entertained, while some outside seating allows those with a penchant for tobacco to have a smoke too.</p>
<p><span id="more-84"></span><strong>Offering</strong><br />
<img src="http://www.amsterdam.info/coffeeshops/abraxas/coffeeshop-abraxas-amsterdam.jpg" border="1" alt="Amsterdam Coffeeshop Abraxas" width="160" height="247" align="right" />A new feature in Abraxas is its redesigned weed bar; with a backlit menu on the front there is no more need to wait for the person ahead of you to make their decision before you get a look at what&#8217;s on offer. The menu gives a handy description of each type of weed or hash and its effects, although the staff will generally be happy to elaborate further if you ask. Herbal smoking mixtures are provided free of charge to replace tobacco so that you can smoke joints inside and stay within the law. Close to the weed bar is a single, carved slab of wood that serves as a beverage bar. From here you can order coffees, hot chocolates, juice etc. as well as space cakes and other treats.</p>
<p><strong>Souvenirs</strong><br />
For those who want to take a little bit of the Amsterdam coffeeshop scene home with them, Abraxas has its own giftshop just a few doors away from the main coffeeshop. Here you can buy hemp clothing, bags and Abraxas t-shirts as well as grinders, pipes, bongs, stash boxes, seeds and other smoking accessories.</p>
<p><strong>Location</strong><br />
<img src="http://www.amsterdam.info/coffeeshops/abraxas/coffee-shop-abraxas-amsterdam.jpg" border="1" alt="Coffee shop Abraxas Amsterdam" width="160" height="123" align="right" />Abraxas has two locations in Amsterdam, the original shop and the newer, smaller addition, Abraxas Too. To find the original coffeeshop simply start at Dam Square and walk behind the Royal Palace, taking a left on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. Easily visible should be an oval neon sign proclaiming the name Abraxas at the mouth of an alley. Abraxas Too is not far away, just northwest of the Nieuwe Kerk on Spuistraat.
