Depending on the budget of each one, it is possible to taste the most special and avant-garde dishes in the most chic restaurants in the capital, or take a two-course and dessert menu for € 15 or € 20.

The Latin Quarter is the zone included to the north of the Pantheon. In this area you will find both national and international restaurants, being one of the favorite places to eat for all travelers. In the Latin Quarter you can find really cheap prices.

Travel Supplies

Do you want to visit the Disney parks in Orlando, Florida? Here are some tips ...




Time: the best time to visit Orlando specifically the Disney World Parks, Universal Orlando Resort or Seaworld are the low seasons that cover from January 15 to a week before Easter, then from August 15 to November 30. At these times of the year you have more possibilities to enjoy the attractions without having to stand in line and thus not waste time and enjoy to the fullest.

Tickets: the best way to buy your tickets to enter the parks whether Disney World or Universal, is buying them at Walmart supermarkets, I advise you to be located at 8990 Turkey Lake rd Orlando, which is located closer to the tourist area of ​​Orlando. Ticket prices cost around $ 1 or $ 2 less than buying them directly at the parks. When you buy them they give you a card with a magnetic code like the one I show you in the image, which you will take care of a lot since in the parks everything is used with this band, for example to enter the park, to store your belongings in the lockers and to make use of the "fastpass"

What is the fastpass? is a free service to have quick access to the vast majority of Disney attractions, practically not queuing. To achieve this you must look for the fastpass kiosks, they are marked on the maps that Disney World offers you at the entrance and they are totally free. You have the opportunity to choose three attractions that you wish, they will be programmed so that you enter a specific time that you also choose and all this information is stored in the reader of the same card that you used for the entrance to the park, so once the indicated time to make use of the attraction you enter through the door that indicates "fastpass" you pass the card through the reader and enter. As I had already indicated, making use of this service will save you time which you can take advantage of to enjoy all the attractions and activities that the parks offer.
