cities. the acropolis athens is best known landmarks but the greek capital has many other ancient treasures such as this to walk at a los. it's part of the ancient or gora the former central public square in the city. tourist guide an historian george congo's knows the best spots in town is tipped for breakfast as the balcony at shoppers. if they are looking with this view never loses its appeal and it's a pleasure for me to show visitors my favorite places so that i can pass on the thrill i feel when i see the acropolis and i will know it was a good thing the level of an agreeable here. is tourist take in both old and new attractions to show visitors how athens is reinventing itself. the plaka is one of athens as oldest neighborhoods with its narrow winding streets it invites visitors to explore and linger.

it's also home to the courageous monument of loose across this interview to a generous patron of the arts. monument we see back there is dedicated to a very rich athenian more than two thousand years ago the athenians developed a tax system under which people like him had to pay taxes but the middle and lower classes did not. since the start of the current greek economic crisis the country's street art scene has grown there are examples throughout the capital. stuff in other than a. fantastic street art movement has developed in athens over the past years it's one of the fastest growing scenes in europe. and it isn't just younger visitors who appreciate. the first time i go to greece

and i discover and only knows about the real. things but i discover a city changing. in the streets lots of graffiti and i just was surprised i like it so it's a good surprise. the next stop on our tour is the ancient arch of hadrian it combines greek and roman architecture. was the one with the barn then we're here we see the beautiful triumphal arch it's made completely of today the model the athenians dedicated it to their benefactor the emperor who adored this city but also. a little tourist train can take you to most of athens the sights for instance to the parliament building on syntagma square. you can watch the

changing of the guard there it takes place every hour on the hour. the central market in the heart of the city is also well worth visiting. what is in that home i go to the market almost every day you can enjoy such a wide variety of sense and colors and you can get products from all over the world but especially things produced here in greece i was being funny once it is. even top chefs trust the quality of the produce here and come by to pick up and greens for their menus head on theory owner in chef alexandros card puts a modern spin on traditional dishes today he's making a squid with yucky and spinach. the restaurant is in the neighborhood and it's won numerous awards. at night the sights of athens are brightly lit her english is still an insider tip unlike the overcrowded bars around honest iraqi square. it's on a side street but offers

a breath taking you up the acropolis. after what is it what i like most of all about the nightlife of athens is this mix of the ancient and the modern it's not just the view that makes this place special it's that feeling of knowing that the ancient afeni and also sat here and drank their wine and talk to each other just as we do. in this line of i want to go around the corner of. the greek capital is a vibrant historical city still making history every day. and we stay on the topic of ancient greece as our next report features a trojan horse but this one wasn't built to conquer the city of troy and the ten year seeds it's a completely modern construction that serves a very different purpose in fact is just one of a whole range of wacky rooms on offer at the belgian hotel they know we went along

to explore what makes it so special. that's impressive it looks really huge from the outside while. at the hotel. in the belgian town the south of the edge guests can stay in this huge wooden horse . that's one person it's a business comedy that you into the whole history of the area i mean. the idea comes from greek mythology during the trojan war of the greeks modeled fighters into the city of troy inside a huge wooden horse and the horse and the breed is hiding something. over the course doesn't allow look how big it is cool is it ok for you. it is a whirlpool i love. how cool is that.

the hostess also shows are two hotel testers denise and a very small bathroom. thank you that will miss nelson they speculate on how to flush the toilet. then they set off to explore the second floor here there's a dining and living area as well that's two more beds but. haven't got any steps one out it's long enough but there's not much in the way of head around. me that's off on a body it's a child's bed going up and nothing will get it yeah but it's super for kids it's like a cave it's. hard testers have to make their own breakfast there's fresh fruit and bread for the morning. everything else they need can be found in the small kitchen. there's also

a balcony to step out onto and on the third floor another surprise awaits denise and nineteen. seven up there you have a great view and as a lever to make the head you've got them down to nice and the teen can't resist going up to have a look at it don't miss it inside i might some go inside the horse's head they can sit look out the pen or on the ground oh and make the animal not its head using a joystick. all i got is the cutting out sound you oh my goodness i tell you i'm going to sit here all night this thing is going up up up and down i can make you do whatever i was controlling that that's clever how cool it's nice to be i'm staying but yet. his trips around the world inspired village an architect told me he don't have to create this quirky hotel it costs over two hundred euros to spend a night in the trojan horse and the first two hundred thirty five euro sounds like

a lot but you have to see it in relation to what you get so the most my head toward it takes a lot of work to design a trojan horse like this and it's not like you find one on every corner. it's something special the hotel is a special treat for horse lovers and fans of greek mythology alike. your romance is very active on social media and facebook is just one platform where you can find out more about the program here's what you will find on our facebook page . want to know more about european lifestyle and culture visit your own acts on facebook. you'll find highlights from our programs. three hundred sixty degree videos of the most beautiful places in europe and snapshots taken by our reporters take an exclusive look behind the scenes at how the program is produced and follow us on facebook live. we'd love it when fans visit our facebook page and give us their feedback visit d w euro max on facebook. next up we're

going to turn back the hands of time and travel to ancient rome if you ever want to walk through three errors of the city's history well then the place to go is the german city of dom stott that's where studio courtyard has created a three d. reconstruction a rome through the ages. rome wasn't built in a day and neither were these cinematic reconstructions the documents the attorney cities development over the millennia. and most of all the steeple i think rome offers us the blueprint for our life our way of life civilisation legislation politics everything that surrounds us architecture our understanding of art of aesthetics it can all be traced back to this culture. and this is where rome was built at least the digital version that's been developed here at the fabric o.t.l.

studio in darmstadt. for many years its designers have been recreating a long gone worlds and they take great pride in their meticulous attention to detail. but even for specialist digitally replicating room was no easy task. a team of ten worked on the job for six months. which is pretty it also fits into it consists of forty thousand residential buildings and two thousand villas and individual buildings countless temples eleven thermal baths it's enormous it's a city that even if you visit it today would blow you away quickly in good form. in the challenge three areas were reconstructed showing ancient late imperial and renaissance are always as true to life as possible an archaeologist is part of the team to help maintain precision but a little artistic freedom is allowed. in clear t.v.

i think for me it's not too difficult we're creative so of course imagination plays a significant role there's no doubt about that. and i think that what we do here can be compared to going on a goal oriented expedition p twenty for in most. years has already undertaken numerous such expeditions the goal is always the same the viewer should be able to imagine what it would be like to actually be in those places. animations like these are usually created for film and television. fictitious snapshots of journeys into the past like stepping into a time machine was this a childhood fantasy. i don't. didn't grow up with that fantasy of course it was and it hasn't changed my whole life i've wanted that it's

a time machine would be the ultimate trip so. i ritual reality puts that trip within reach i hear a visit to the emperor's box in the coliseum is possible i don't really brave can even venture into the gladiators arena i think i just. missed their own project is simply inexhaustible i guess all my employees could continue working on this model for the rest of their lives combined with industriously you can always uncover new aspects new insights if you keep digging into the details and will never be reached by. never didn't come over and endure it's done at which time. so it looks as if room even in the digital world is doing justice to its label as

the eternal city. and from the eternal city of rome we return to greener landscapes for our next report the great german poet johann both unfun good to once eloquently saying the praises of the garden kingdom of death ver that's located in the state of saxony on how it's been a unesco world heritage site since the year two thousand and one side from its historical importance it is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy its lush green landscapes. gliding calmly in a boat across billets lake is surely the most beautiful way to enter the garden kingdom of death of the let's pass the eighteenth century venus temple. and

fillets palace. architectural gems are scattered throughout the gardens which were created by a local princely or pull the third or prince france as he was known as a young man he travelled to england france and italy to widen his education. palace was designed to emulate the country houses of the english nobility it's germany's oldest neoclassical building and was the official residence of the prince and his wife louisa princess abandoned book shit the whole thing is the unusual thing about this house was that it was always open for members of the public to visit first it was a kind of eighteenth century show her prince france wanted to use it to educate his subjects and guests actually came from all over europe including portugal and russia. and of course girder was also here. with me from good to.

the park includes a network of canals and bridges since france was a firm believer in religious tolerance and the ideals of the enlightenment from certain points you can see both the synagogue and the catholic church of st peter. the prince was also very interested in flowers. although they were not at all typical for the kind of english landscape gardens that inspired the park. your album of yangon ornamental flowers are arranged here in tears like an affair to and of course we've been faithful to the original design of the garden to look back then mediterranean species of flowers my range here in parts. so the visitors can see what the pants are like god i'm shoulder. right next to the flower theater is the temple of flora which originally served as a music pavilion. do this fall most of them bore the violent symbol made of flowers

that you see here points directly at the gulf accounts which was the former home of the gardner. prince translator moved in there himself to live with the daughter of his master gardener this flower bed is a symbol of fertility and aim to recreate the coffee house killing off this quarter horse the house has two facades the front is neo gothic while the rear is built in the gothic style of english tutors. like many of the buildings here it was designed by the prince's architect fleetly they had fun at munster offer. a thirty minute walk through the grounds takes you to a small artificial island. its main feature is a stone building topped by europe's only artificial volcano it can even stage eruptions it was inspired by amount to sylvia's which the prince was very fascinated by when he visited italy france wanted his subjects to know what an

erupting volcano was like. back at the village palace the prince would entertain came the scope posers and writers. the banquet hall features original french table where from the eighteenth century. the paintings on the walls depict the prince's travels. every year the estate draws around a million visitors. this is and it's such a joy to walk around and just. it could all end. at all of us and yet natural that's very new but also historical i have a. feeling the for being here i just makes us so happy to see all less.

gondola rides with coffee and cake in the afternoon or a three course meal in the evening are especially popular. the perfect way to savor this historic garden kingdom. and with that it is time to say goodbye don't forget to keep up with the show on social media for me the rest of the courier mags as always thanks for watching and we will see you again tomorrow for our highlights edition. joyousness time for the alert show with you telling designers stefano so that he is going to surround. find out how to make a delicious austrian apple strudel. discover why do spaniards enjoy internet success the world over this and more next on your
