A website in which local restaurants, bars, clubs, activities, tours and anything else people care to comment on are reviewed by ordinary people living in the city.
I think it is a great resource of information full of practical tips and interesting insights about the town. There is even an explanation about the legendary dragon of Krakow. Fascinating stuff!
This is a website that's very useful for finding particular types of nightlife in Buenos Aires, covering everything from venues/nightclubs where you can hear your style of music to restaurants where you can eat a type of food you're looking for. It includes reviews and ratings for every place and is very easy to use and find what you're looking for.
This great locally produced city guide has listings and independent reviews for hundreds of places to eat. You can get the guide locally in print, or for free in PDF at the inyourpocket.com website.
A site that allows visitors to select restaurants, things to do with kids, attractions and some local inside information and bring this information together into an itinerary which can be emailed to family and friends or just printed out for later reference. Beats hurrying off to travel offices to find out what's on.
This is an excellent website, which recommends all forms of services within Norwich. It is of high quality and has been very useful in finding recommended restaurants, pubs, services etc. It also has exclusive offers for members and each month has a newsletter and competitions. Its sister site EnjoyNorthNorfolk.com is of equal standard.
Krakow is a truly beautiful city that I am lucky enough to call home.
People often refer to it as the 'new Prague' and I'm never really sure what they mean by this. It is becoming a popular stag destination but it hasn't grown to a level that overshadows the cultural and historic atmosphere that the city has. Thankfully Krakow hasn't developed the rash and mercantile tourism enterprises found in Prague either. Only time will tell how this will all work out.
Whether you are coming to Krakow on a weekend break, business trip or backpacking adventure a good all-round guide I can recommend is www.cracow-life.com which has all the information you could need. I even find it handy as expat as it lists local news, events and weather.
I think the best time to visit Krakow is in December when the Christmas market is in full swing on the main market square. It's setting in the medieval streets, with a bit of snow thrown in, is perfect for a bit of festive magic.
AmazingDusseldorf.com is an English language internet city guide that provides detailed information about the city and getting along there. It eases newcomers into life in Dusseldorf and the German cultural environment.
I found very handy and relevant information concerning themes of everyday life and the living experience in the city. The listing of English speaking doctors and lawyers or English language schools provides a good feeling and tips on current events, news and comments to regional and national peculiarities are interesting to know.
Direct links to the current weather, the traffic situation in NRW and the arrival schedule of the airport Dusseldorf makes it also worth bookmarking this page.
Hamburg English Pages is an information portal, currently run on a voluntary basis, which supplies information for English speakers and learners of English in Hamburg and northern Germany.

Many of our own photos and some videos can be seen on the website, or reached via links. We recommend our Hamburg gallery.

When in Paris pick up a copy of Les Yeux et les Oreilles, a small free pocket guide to entertainment in Paris. Lists most events including free ones, it's what the Parisians use. Ask for it in any bar in Bastille, region of rue de lappe.
The best Rio listings magazine in English. What's on, plus loads of great insider tips from locals. Highly recommended.
Website with a good up-to-date list of local restaurants, bars, hotels, accommodation, and all matters of other types of businesses.
This site is geared towards the expat living in Saigon for the most part and focuses on the District 1.
The discussion forum doesn't seem to have much traffic.
A fairly eccentric but informative blog about unusual aspects of San Francisco.
Politics and news about Hungary in English.
Just some observations - public transport is poor in Sofia. However, taxis are very cheap and plentiful. I have never had a problem, but of course there are stories of cabbies trying it on. Normal caution should suffice.
Pavements are dreadfully dilapidated, and often obstructed by parked cars. This is not a town for baby buggies, let alone wheelchairs (I have never seen anyone in a wheelchair). The elderly should also beware.
