…visitar Thessaloniki, Greece

“Its honorific title is Συμπρωτεύουσα (Symprotévusa), literally "co-capital", and stands as a reference to its historical status as the Συμβασιλεύουσα (Symvasilévousa), "co-reigning" city of the Eastern Roman Empire, alongside Constantinople.”

…to visit Genoa

Capital of Liguria; sixth largest city in Italy; one of Europe’s largest cities on the Mediterranean Sea; the largest seaport in Italy. The city’s nickname is la Superba ("the Superb one") due to its glorious past and impressive landmarks. Do I need any more reasons?… Yeah, I don’t think so.

…visitar Génova

Capital da Liguria; 6.ª maior cidade de Itália; uma das maiores cidades do Mediterrâneo; tem o maior porto de Itália. A sua alcunha é la Superba (“a Soberba”) devido ao seu glorioso passado e marcos impressionantes. Preciso de mais razões?… Pois, acho que nao.

… to visit Buenos Aires, Argentina

“Mix together a beautiful European-like city with attractive residents (call them porteños), gourmet cuisine, awesome shopping, a frenzied nightlife and top-drawer activities, and you get Buenos Aires, a cosmopolitan metropolis with both slick neighborhoods and equally downtrodden areas”

Lonely Planet

.

… visitar Buenos Aires, na Argentina

"Misture uma linda cidade europeia com moradores atraentes (chamá-los-emos porteños), cozinha gourmet, lojas incríveis, uma vida noturna frenética e  atividades de top, e temos Buenos Aires, uma metrópole cosmopolita com ambos os bairros escorregadios e áreas igualmente oprimidas."

… to visit Montréal

Montréal is indeed the only bilingual city in the American Continent as the ‘Main’ (Blvd St-Laurent) constitutes the dividing line between the east-end Francophones and the west-side Anglos.  Nowadays, thanks to the constant waves of immigration, it’s very common for Montréalers to speak not one, or two, but three languages in their daily life.

.

… visitar Montreal

Montreal é de facto a única cidade bilingue no continente americano, dado que a “Main” (Avenida St-Laurent) constitui a linha divisória entre os Francófonos do Este e os anglófonos do Oeste. Hoje em dia, graças ás constantes ondas de imigração, é muito comum os habitantes desta cidade falarem nao uma, nem duas, mas três línguas distintas no seu quotidiano.
