WELCOME ABOARD RYANAIR AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. Christmas is now
a distant memory and it is time once again to brighten up the winter nights of
January and February by making spring break and summer travel plans.
Ryanair’s summer schedule is almost complete and with over 1,400 routes
from over 160 airports across 27 countries this year’s summer schedule has
something in mind for everyone. Log on to www.ryanair.com to plan your
spring break and summer sun holiday at unbeatable prices.
2011 was a fantastic year for Ryanair with over 77 million passengers saving
hundreds of millions by taking advantage of Ryanair’s guaranteed lowest fares
and no fuel surcharge seats. While passengers will always return to Ryanair for
our unbeatable fares, we also off er Europe’s best on time performance, least
lost baggage and fewest cancellations all of which has helped us become the
world’s favourite airline. On today’s fl ight, chances are high that you will hear
Ryanair’s on time trumpet which our crew will play to celebrate each on time
arrival. Ryanair delivers industry leading punctuality with over 90% of our
fl ights landing on time in 2011.
Ryanair continues to develop our in-fl ight off ers and we are pleased to now
off er ‘retro’ sweets from The Sweet Emporium, which cost just €5 per pack, on
all fi ghts. These delicious sweets are not only a tasty in-fl ight treat but are also
a great gift item with one love heart variety making the perfect Valentine gift.
Ryanair has a host of treats to ensure that every holiday has a sweet to make it
that bit sweeter.
We are also pleased to extend our popular reserved seating service to all
our over 1,400 routes, after successfully trialling it on over 100 routes since
May last. The pre-booked service, which is now bookable on all routes,
costs just €10 (each way) and includes priority boarding. The optional
service allows passengers to pre-reserve seats in the front two rows,
for a quick getaway on arrival, or in over wing rows (16&17), which
provide greater legroom, and has proven to be very popular with Ryanair
passengers during our summer 2011 trial. Ryanair will continue to
offer its Priority Boarding service for just €5, with priority and reserved
seating passengers allowed to board the aircraft first. Those travelling
with passengers under 16 years of age can reserve seats in row 2 only
due to safety restrictions.
Finally, I hope you enjoy your flight with us today, and I invite you to
sit back and treat yourself to a gourmet coffee, a delicious sandwich or
“retro” sweets as you relax and allow our crew to take care of you. I look
forward to welcoming you and your family onboard many more low fare
Ryanair flights in the coming months.
Best Wishes,

A FEW WORDS FROM RYANAIR’S CHIEF EXEC

RYA_59_07_Ryanair's Letter.indd 07RYA_59_07_Ryanair's Letter.indd 07 21/12/2011 12:0621/12/2011 12:06
Contributors“It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life, for me, and I’m feeling good,” sang Nina Simone on Feeling Good, and I certainly am this new year. The world’s economies may be struggling but I can still get a Ryanair fl ight for less than a tenner — and that’s always a bargain!
Not only will Ryanair be serving up new routes and destinations this year but new is also the watchword for our Upfront section this issue, with reviews of new gadgets, restaurants, hotels and bars, as well as the latest events happening across Europe.
And because it’s winter, many people will be looking to jet off and fi nd some sun. So why not see what’s new in one of my favourite destinations, Marrakesh, in our 13-page cover story on page 43? If you’ve ever been you’ll know why we love it, and if you’ve never been there’s never been a better time. The weather’s great now and the food is even better.
The last time I was there I experienced all the fun of the fair, and then some. When I started my stroll in the vast square of Marrakesh that is Jamaa el Fna, I defi nitely looked like me.
By the time I reached the other side I resembled something else entirely.
The fi rst person I met was a henna tattooist in a beautiful blue djellaba and soon I’d agreed to have a long spiral design drawn all over my arm.
A precocious boy watching this heard me compliment the tattooist’s robe and immediately pulled a bunch of diff erent djellabas from his bag. It didn’t take much persuasion for me to purchase a deep maroon one with a long cob (the djellaba’s pointy hood).
Then, the boy pulled me towards a stall owned by his uncle selling the best fruits, nuts and spices in town – and spice lover that I am I bought a few bags and an orange that was absolutely delicious.
Finally, I sat down at one of the many food stalls in the square for a vegetable tagine and some mint tea. I ended up looking as if I wasn’t a tourist at all but had always lived in the square, and I learned a bit of Arabic too. Talk about assimilation – the perfect trip!
Wherever you’re off to this month, have a great fl ight and a great time.

RITES OF PASSAGECHINESE NEW YEAR
FROM 23 JANUARY 2012
Welcome to the Year of the Dragon! Regarded as the most important of all Chinese holiday dates, Chinese New Year traditionally marks the end of winter, and the celebrations can last for about two weeks.
You can rely on a host of extravagant parades, parties and decorations on the streets of any Chinatown district. Whether it’s in Paris’ 13th arrondissement, London’s Soho or Stockholm’s Hötorget, there is probably a Chinatown somewhere near you.
The Chinese New Year tradition of wearing red, hanging lanterns and letting off fi recrackers is said to scare away a mythical beast called the Nian, which eats crops and livestock. We haven’t heard of anyone seeing the Nian recently, but maybe that’s because we keep celebrating Chinese New Year.

bridie. This pastry-based bad boy conceals a
hidden treasure of minced steak and vegetables.
The pastry is somewhat paler and lighter than a
Cornish, but always hits the spot after the pub.
The award-winning craft bakery chain Brownings
has a branch right by Prestwick airport (6
Portland Street, Troon, tel: +44 (0)1292 317942),
so go grab one when you touch down.

IRELAND'S CELEBRITY DOLPHINGIVING LIFE A SENSE OF PORPOISE
Are you a fan of Fungie? If you don’t know who this cetacean celebrity is, he’s a bottlenose dolphin who has been sighted off the coast of Dingle, in Ireland’s County Kerry, since about 1983. He regularly interacts with divers and people on boats.
One local sailor, who has been seeing Fungie (pictured) from his boat since 1987, tells us: “Fungie regularly comes totally out of the water and up onto my boat. He’s an incredible creature and deserves to be treated with respect. He’s very friendly for a wild animal, and from the time I’ve spent with him, I’m convinced he even has a sense of humour. He seems to genuinely enjoy human company.”
Fungie gets a shout-out in our feature on Ireland’s west coast on page 60. WWW.DINGLEDOLPHIN.COM

The fair was started by London gallerist Will Ramsay, with the aim of making it easier for everyone to own and enjoy contemporary art. You’re sure to fi nd something that catches your eye — and some work is less than €100. The photo above is by Sacha Goldberger, whose subject is his 91-year-old gran.WWW.AFFORDABLEARTFAIR.BE

gets especially exciting in Valletta, Floriana, and
Nadur on Gozo. Many of the events are free,
including live music shows, and anyone and
everyone is invited to don a colourful costume
and join in the party. The celebrations round

You may not know all the bands on the bill at this Nordic music festival, as many are new and/or unsigned, but the quality is consistently high. The name By: Larm means “city noise” and the event spans genres from dance pop to doom metal. It feels as though it takes over the whole Norwegian capital, with gigs in all the main music venues and aft er-parties in clubs and bars. We love the all-ages shows that see even the littlest Norwegians rocking out. Among the performers you can catch this year is Norwegian singer Gunnhild Sundli (pictured). WWW.BYLARM.NO

LUCILLE HOWE HELPS YOU GET DRESSED IN THE MORNINGThe Shortlists
NEW KIDS ON THE SLOPESIt may still be chilly outside, but luckily in 2012
you’ll fi nd plenty of new ski-wear and winter-wear
to hot up your wardrobe. We’ve picked out three
up-and-coming brands that are worth checking
out if you’re planning on staying snug.
Having enjoyed a cult following in its native
Norway, OnePiece (www.onepiece.com) has
since caught on around the world. Celebrities
including Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Elton John
and Jude Law have reportedly been zipping up
in these suits to stay warm and toasty at home,
and both Paris and Perez Hilton have even been
seen out clubbing in theirs. It’s the brainchild
of three 20-something guys, who woke up one
Sunday morning feeling hung-over and fragile,
and had the idea of sewing together a hooded
top and tracksuit bottoms. Thus creating one of
the cosiest, comfi est outfi ts you’ll ever wear (as
pictured here on some sexy Norwegians).
They’ve now sold to about 5% (and counting)
of Norway’s population. It’s an adventurous look
but has proved a winner. We love the loose-fi tting
purple Lusekofte (below). If only all hangovers
were so lucrative!
After graduating from university, Miranda
Harper had little clue what to do for a career, and
delayed the decision by heading to Switzerland
for a ski season. In her chalet, the Scot made
her fi rst crochet beanie hat and was soon
swapping afternoons on the slopes for a
crochet hook and metres of yarn. Having
sold the hats to a bunch of ski instructors,
Miranda returned to Scotland and perfected
her crochet skills. Her website Zaini (www.
zaini.com) features hats named after
places like the Isle of Skye, Loch Lomond
and the Shetlands.
Chamonix-based brand Perfect
Moment (www.perfectmoment.com)
has just started selling to the UK market,
and was set up by legendary skier and
fi lmmaker Thierry Donard. Because he
knows his baby slopes from his black
runs, he’s designed the collection
– from hoodies to ski pants – from
breathable, waterproof fabrics, for
maximum warmth and mobility. Bold
stripes and stars in purple, red and
cornfl ower blue will look cool whether
you’re in the snow park or the bar.
This Lusekoft e jumpsuit is quirky and cosy. Just add an alpine cabin and log fi re.WWW.ONEPIECE.COM

of professional make-
up artists working to

vitamin E enriched lipstick (like this one).

fun feature and help you to apply it with
better precision.”

SAMPAR 3 DAY WEEKEND€37, 30ml
This French skincare
brand is the brainchild
of Patrick Sounigo
who, after six years
of medical studies in
Paris, decided to move
into cosmetics. One
of Sampar’s most popular products, this gel
stimulates the skin’s natural melanin for a
hint of tan without sun or self-tanners, so no
skin damage or streaks.
EXPERT TIP: Dust on some bronzer afterwards.
Reader test: “Subtle but effective. I looked
healthier and more tanned.”
CARYS JONES, STATISTICIAN
SMASHBOX PHOTO FINISH LUMINIZING FOUNDATION PRIMER€28, 30ml

your skin while also
creating a canvas
for your foundation,
this primer adds just
the right amount of
luminosity. The velvety, oil-free formula helps
fill in fine lines and pores, and also contains
age-fighting antioxidants and vitamins.
EXPERT TIP: Use on your décolleté too, to
create a subtle highlighting effect.
Reader test: “My foundation stayed on for
longer and looked better.”

MIKE PEAKE KNOWS LOTS OF NEW PLACES TO GO. WELL, THEY SOUND NEW…The Shortlists
Places to visit with “new” in their name
NEUMÜNSTERGERMANY
A short trip out of Hamburg and en route to
Kiel and the unmissable beaches of northern
Germany, Neumünster is the home of nu-
metal band Panik and also a zoo that houses
everything from “mighty polar bear to tiny
mouse”. The town also hosts a popular stallion
market around October. Good to know.
FLY TO HAMBURG (LÜBECK) FROM MILAN (BERGAMO)
AND STOCKHOLM (SKAVSTA). WWW.RYANAIR.COM
NEUVÉGLISEFRANCE
Well worth a visit, Neuvéglise is in the hilly
Auvergne region, surrounded by canyons,
streams and nature at its best. According to
the town’s rather funky-looking website, just
1,100 people live there.
FLY TO RODEZ FROM LONDON (STANSTED).
WWW.RYANAIR.COM
NOVÝ JICÍNCZECH REPUBLIC
Like hats, do you? You’re in for a treat. This
town (yes, “novy” means new in Czech) at the
edge of the Carpathian Mountains is renowned
for its millinery, and has a really nice town
square too. The perfect place to pick up a new
hat in the new year, then.
FLY TO BRNO FROM LONDON (STANSTED).
WWW.RYANAIR.COM
NIEUWEGEINTHE NETHERLANDS
Not far from Eindhoven and close to Utrecht,
which borders it on the north, Nieuwegein is yet
another “new” destination. It really is quite new
actually, as rather than springing up higgledy-
piggledy from an ancient settlement, it’s a
planned city that was founded in 1971.
FLY TO EINDHOVEN FROM 22 DESTINATIONS, INCLUDING
DUBLIN AND STOCKHOLM (SKAVSTA). WWW.RYANAIR.COM
NUEVO BAZTÁNSPAIN
Only 35km east of Madrid, Nuevo Baztán is
a sort of Spanish new town – albeit one that
was founded 300 years ago, in a bid to promote
industrial development. Pay a visit to the
Goyeneche Palace there, a rather flamboyant
building well worth checking out.

New Brighton, where you can also enjoy a lovely beachy day out. Don’t confuse New Brigthon with Brighton, which is

THE FOURTH WALLLONDON, ENGLAND
The Fourth Wall is a
bar with a roaming
concept, moving to
a new location each

the people behind
the fabulously quirky
Bourne & Hollingsworth

that it’ll play on artifice

at the end of the night.
Like Alice’s looking
glass, you’ll walk into
a space such as a
warehouse or ballroom,
where a door will lead
you to a completely
different venue.
The Fourth Wall’s
wandering location
will only be revealed
through increasingly

left around the city.
When you do manage to

will be delicious cocktails
served in vintage

“I WENT TO AMSTERDAM WHEN I WAS 17
and then backpacked through Europe. It’s
the best education you can have. You learn so
much about people and the different cultures.
I’ve always adored travelling.
“Nobody believes this, but I’m low-
maintenance in everyday life. I rent places
in different cities around the world, and
then I move all my stuff. I’m very good at it.
I’ve greatly reduced what I own. It’s quite a
good feeling to be able to put everything in a
suitcase and move it.
“When you work on movies, you spend a lot
of time on various locations. I made The Others
in Spain, Dogville in Sweden, Cold Mountain
in Romania, Moulin Rouge! and Australia in
Australia, and many of my pictures in England.
For Eyes Wide Shut I spent a whole year in
London. And I’ve loved living in all the places.
I mess up my hair a bit, walk quickly and I
become invisible. If I’m spotted in the street, I
find that most people respect my space.
“Celebrity is unreal. I can understand why
a lot of people either run away, don’t cope, or
go under. To get away from everything, I like
scuba diving, horse riding and mountain hiking
– something I like to do with my family. We can
walk for sometimes six, seven hours a day.
“I’d love to live in Tuscany in a farmhouse,
with lots of kids and grandkids running around
and a big kitchen. I could drive into Florence
for a little opera. I have contradicting desires,
because I also love a big city like New York. I
have an apartment there and I did a play there.
It’s a fantastic place, with great theatre. I love
being able to go out at midnight there, drink
margaritas, and dance a little salsa. I love
Morocco too. It’s incredibly exotic.
“When the good roles disappear, I’ll happily
stay in Tennessee [where she lives with
husband Keith Urban] and I’ll enjoy a more
quiet life. I’d love to write and cook and learn
Italian, and explore other creative paths.
Contrary to popular belief, I’m no workaholic.
That said, travelling is who I am. And you can’t
stop doing your favourite thing in life.”

HAMLET ASKED HIMSELF: “To be or not
to be.” I am now facing an equally great
philosophical question: “To bidet or not to
bidet?” As I stand in my hotel bathroom
in Paris, staring down into the porcelain
bowl, I realise it is a very English dilemma. A
bidet may be a fixture of many Continental
bathrooms, but to Brits like me it is one of
those strange foreign things that we do not
truly understand – like having cheese for
breakfast, Shakira, and winning at football.
Don’t get me wrong, although I’ve never
used one I’m totally aware of what a bidet is for
– though I’ve definitely travelled with people
who weren’t. The give-away signs are when
they say things like “the sink’s very low in my
bathroom” or “I’ve got a really useful bowl for
hand-washing clothes”.
If you are unaware of the point of this
particular item of bathroom furniture, I’m not
sure a family magazine like this is the right place
to fi ll you in. But I did fi nd a very useful web
page called “How to Use a Bidet”. It helpfully
talks you through each step of the process, with
particular attention paid to “avoiding burning
sensitive areas” (basically, go easy on the hot
tap), and why it may not be a good idea to turn
on the water jet too powerfully. I don’t think we
need to go into that. Do be careful while reading
it though: make sure you hold your laptop with
your non-cleaning hand.
I hope I’m not putting you off your
sandwich/nuts/other food item with all this
lavatorial talk. I know the British have been
accused of being toilet-obsessed, but I like
to think that we operate a middle ground
between the Americans who don’t like to
discuss the subject so much they use the
euphemism “restroom” and the Germans,
who are so fascinated by it they actually
have little inspection shelves in their toilet
bowls. Can any German readers explain the
thinking behind that intriguing little ledge?
Are you worried you might swallow something
important you will need to find again later?
Our different approaches to our bodily
functions are another example of the glorious
diversity that makes Europe one of the most
argumentative continents (or should that be
incontinents?). If we can’t decide if a bidet is
a necessary daily function or a strange waste
of bathroom space, how are we ever going
to decide on a common economic policy?
So, in the interests of unity, cooperation and
pan-European understanding, I will now for the
first time in my life use a bidet. You may wish to
avert your eyes. Ooh, that jet’s a bit powerful.

YOU CAN CALL IT JAMAA EL FNA. You can
call it La Place. And, as the English language
seeps surreptitiously into Marrakesh’s
charming French-Arabic mishmash, you can
now get away with calling it The Square.
No matter what you choose to call it, you’re
not going to miss it – no other city is so utterly
dominated by its main square. All roads seem
to lead here, whether you’re coming from the
implausibly tangled network of small lanes and
narrow alleyways of the old city (known as the
Medina), or the spacious European-style streets
of the new town. And if you’re not heading
towards Jamaa el Fna, nobody told the locals –
you’ll see a succession of people pointing in the
direction of the square regardless of whether or
not you asked for help.
The square is enormous, and is boosted by
several smaller squares that appear to have
attached themselves to its edges like raindrops
to a puddle. A parade of henna tattooists,
orange juicers, boot polishers and fez sellers
sprawls in every direction. For fi rst-time visitors
it can feel like you’ve accidentally wandered
onto the set of Arabian Nights. Huge crowds
of locals and tourists form circles around
storytellers, whose dramatic renditions of
biblical tales and Arabic folklore have remained
resolutely popular. Jamaa el Fna may be a
tourist must-see, but it’s a locals’ hangout too.
When you visit the nightly food market, you’ll
likely fi nd yourself wedged on a bench between
Moroccans of all ages and backgrounds. The
square is the city’s meeting place.
While a good chunk of your time will be
spent in and around Jamaa el Fna, most of
the restaurants, bars, shops and hotels in this
guide are to be found elsewhere in the city.
For Marrakesh’s best food and nightlife, you’ll
want to step out in the new town. It’s unfair
to expect any 20th-century construction to
possess a fraction of the charm of the Medina,
but the French colonial architecture and tree-
lined boulevards are attractive in a different
way. And on the other side of the square, the
old city is an enormous maze enticing you
to get lost. Ditch the map and go for a stroll.
That’s how the adventure begins.

MARRAKESH ISN’T LIKE PARIS, Rome
or London. It’s not a place where you go
sightseeing and cross places off a checklist.
This is a place where the entire city is the main
attraction – the architecture, the markets, the
people, the mosques, the food. A small number
of historical sites and cultural centres do exist,
but you can get them out of the way on the
first day and then enjoy Marrakesh the way
it’s meant to be enjoyed – getting lost in the
passages and souks (markets) of the Medina,
dodging speeding motorcycles and ambling
donkeys, haggling over the price of colourful
carpets, and stopping for countless cups of
sugary mint tea.
Start at the strikingly handsome Musée de
Marrakech 1 (www.museedemarrakech.
ma), which used to be known as Dar M’Nebhi
Palace. The traditional teapots, embroidery
and weaponry on display are what you’d
expect to see here, but the tilework throughout
the building is sensational and much of the
space is dedicated to contemporary art.
Turn right outside the museum and walk
down the street to Medersa Ben Youssef 2 , a religious school from
the 16th century where 130 tiny student dorms surround a tranquil
courtyard with a shallow pool at its centre. Mosques are off-limits to
non-Muslims in Marrakesh, so for many tourists this is a rare chance
to learn about Islamic architecture in Morocco. A 60MAD (€5) combo
ticket covers both the museum and the school.
Two years ago, Frenchman Patrick Manac’h and local enthusiast
Hamid Mergani opened the Maison de la Photographie 3 (www.
maisondelaphotographie.ma) in a central location in the Medina. Manac’h
has been collecting photographs of Morocco for over 15 years and by the
time he’d amassed several thousand of them it became obvious that they
needed to go on public display. The gallery is housed in a beautiful old
riad (Moroccan house with a courtyard), boasting one of the highest roof
terraces in the Medina and postcard-perfect views.
These are exciting times for art aficionados in Marrakesh. The fourth
Marrakech Biennale takes place 29 February–4 March at venues across
the city, and you can see an exhibition of art inspired by the geography
of the Atlas mountains (running until end of May), alongside expertly
curated film, literature and music strands. You should also check out the
Voice Gallery 4 (www.voicegallery.net) whose exhibition by Serbian
visual artist Mihael Milunovic runs until 25 February.
Finally, don’t miss the colourful Jardin Majorelle 5 (www.
jardinmajorelle.com), an artistically landscaped garden in the north of the
city renowned for its birds, cacti and collection of rare plants.
Caravane of loveNick Wilde had a
successful career as a
musician and producer
in London until his
recording studio was
destroyed first by a
flood and then by a fire.
It seemed like a higher
power was urging
him to leave. “My wife
and I thought about
working remotely, and
we chose Marrakesh
because we’d been on
our honeymoon and
loved it,” he says. They
rented a riad in the
Medina and Nick got to
work building a studio.
“Word must have
got around that I was
a producer because
suddenly local
musicians started
turning up at our
front door,” he says.
Before long he was
jamming with people
from all over Morocco,
incorporating their
Berber sounds with
his dance and techno
influences. The result
was a new record label,
Marrakchi Records,
and the first release is
the album Caravane,
which is available to
purchase on iTunes.

Sleep under the starsCamping in Morocco is
an almost year-round
option and several
desert camps compete
for your custom. To
many, this is the ultimate
Moroccan experience
and so it’s worth noting
that the camps are
by no means cheaper

The best camp

Marrakesh, but it’s well
worth the eff ort. Erg

of nowhere, which is
exactly where an escape

should be. Here,
the stars seem to shine
more brightly and the

the distance. The tents
themselves rival suites
at fi ve-star hotels,
with king-size beds
and handmade Moroccan
furnishings. A night here
costs 2,514MAD (€225)

stay two nights). But
this is the desert, so the

WITH ITS EXTRAORDINARY ATTENTION
to detail, Maison MK 6 (www.maisonmk.
com) is quite a feast for the eyes, which isn’t
surprising when you learn that its owners, Paul
and Aoibheann Hopkins, are both professional
photographers. In striking contrast to the dusty
lanes of the Medina it’s located in, this place
oozes chicness; a stay here can feel like you’re
living in a fashion shoot. With just fi ve rooms and
a suite, a fantastic bar on the roof terrace, and
manager Mary on hand to provide a personal
touch, it’s a great place for honeymooners. It’s
not the right place if you have a young family
though, as there is an over-12s only policy.
Doubles from 3,077MAD (€275).
When Jean-François and Delphine Claeys
opened Riad Tchaikana 7 (www.tchaikana.
com) over 10 years ago, there were only 35 riads
in the whole of Marrakesh. There are now more
than 700. It speaks volumes that Tchaikana
continues to fi ll its six gorgeous rooms and
suites with ease. The Claeys’ story is a familiar
one among European expatriates who’ve started
businesses in the city. They had successful
careers in their native Belgium but felt that they didn’t have enough time to
live their lives.
“We wanted to escape the system we were living in and experience
a diff erent pace,” says Jean-François, a genial host who welcomes
every guest like an old friend, off ering tips on the best local shops and
restaurants. Tchaikana was a labour of love for the couple; Delphine, with
a background in design, took charge of the interiors and created a space
that’s above all calm and peaceful. A retreat from the world outside. “You
only have to walk out our front door to experience the hectic life of the
Medina,” says Jean-François. Double rooms start from 1,007MAD (€90).
If you’re not a “less is more” person, spend the night at Bab Hotel 8
(www.babhotelmarrakech.com). It’s a Parisian breed of luxuriousness,
a no-holds-barred bourgeois-bohemian fantasy. We love the espresso
machines in every room, and the new-town location is perfect for
investigating the wave of hip bars that have opened recently in the area.
Doubles from 1,108MAD (€99).
The most famous and most expensive hotel in the city is La
Mamounia 9 (www.mamounia.com). It reopened a couple of years
ago after a €100 million refurbishment, and it has lost little of the charm
that led Winston Churchill to declare it “the most lovely spot in the whole
world”. Apart from being a hotel, it’s also one of the finest examples of
Moorish-meets-European architecture you could imagine, and home
to the most beautiful garden in the city. Double rooms here start at
6,000MAD (€536).

ON THE TABLETAGINE GENIES
let it stew Taste some Moroccan food
at its best at Le Foundouk
Chez Chegrouni serves
tasty vegetable tagine
Square mealEating dinner in Jamaa
el Fna can feel like
an endurance sport.
But, as any marathon
runner will tell you,
the feeling of crossing
the finish line makes it
all worthwhile. There
are dozens of stalls
at the nightly food
market and every one
will fight tooth and
nail for your custom.
Nearly all the food is
cheap, authentic and
fabulously tasty.
With so much
choice, the only
sensible option is a fi ve-
course meal. With each
course at a diff erent
stall, naturally. Get into
the swing of things with
a 5MAD (€0.50) bowl
of escargots, then head
to the soup kitchens on
the far side for some
khobz (bread) and
harira (a spicy lentil
and tomato soup).
Then venture deep
into the market for a
plate of sheep’s head
(what could possibly
go wrong?) followed by
a pigeon pastilla. Wrap
things up with a cup of
super-strong cinnamon
tea and slice of ginger
cake. Yum.
THERE’S MORE TO MOROCCAN cuisine
than tagines and couscous. That said, it really
does help if you’re into tagines and couscous.
Moroccan food is all about the subtle balancing
of sweet and savoury fl avours, with dates,
prunes, sultanas and honey contrasting with
seasonings and spices. Since it’s compulsory
to try at least one tagine while you’re here,
it’s worth going to the places that set the
benchmark, Al Fassia 11 (www.alfassia.com)
and Le Foundouk 12 (www.foundouk.com).
Al Fassia has long been rated the best
Moroccan restaurant in town, and one bite of the
gamey, eggy, cinnamon-laced pigeon pastilla (a
fl aky pie), or a forkful of the drop-from-the-bone
lamb tagine will prove this new-town eatery is
still on top of its game. Meanwhile, Le Foundouk
adventurously pairs the likes of rabbit pastilla
and calamari tagine with excellent wines from
the coastal town of Essaouira. The spectacularly
converted old house is spread over three levels
and is ideal for special occasions.
If you’re looking to spend less, Chez
Chegrouni 13 off ers simple, good-value
tagines and couscous in an unbeatable location – the top fl oor off ers
brilliant views of Jamaa el Fna. Nearby, Borj El Koutoubia 14 whips up
a sensational fi sh tagine; while Restaurant Naïma 15 is the cutest of
eateries and feels like you’re in a local family’s front room. The 99MAD
(€9) three-course set menu represents excellent value for money.
At Gastro MK 16 (www.maisonmk.com), the tiny restaurant at
Maison MK, chef Omar El Ouahssoussi serves a “deconstructed tagine”,
which takes the constituent parts of the stew and turns it into the kind
of steak dish you’d find in a Parisian bistro. The 615MAD (€55) tasting
menu begins with drinks and canapés on the roof terrace before moving
downstairs to the intimate, quiet restaurant – definitely one for couples.
Another elegant location is the courtyard of Le Jardin 17 , whose
young Moroccan owner Kamal Laftimi already has three successful
eateries under his belt. His latest venture takes full advantage of the
tranquility offered by a stately old riad. Aside from table football,
chessboards and a friendly rabbit called Momo, there’s a French/
Moroccan mix of croque-monsieurs, tagines, hamburgers and the city’s
best cupcakes. For non-Moroccan food, go to Kechmara 18 (www.
kechmara.com), a much-loved new town restaurant that boasts an
eclectic menu, and equally eclectic live music Wednesday to Saturday.
And when you’re craving a mid-shop caffeine boost go to Le Picasso
Du Cafe 19 and order a “nos-nos”, a local take on the macchiato. The
enthusiastic man making the coffee is a former footballer, hence the
photos of soccer players all over the walls.

52 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM
Locals’ favouritesIf you want a break
from the sparkle, shine
and top-end cocktails
of Marrakesh’s à la
mode venues, there are
some more laid-back
options worth a look
too. At Bar Model 25 the owners are
blissfully unconcerned
about minor details
such as modernity.
This time-warp bar is
beautiful in a retro,
understated way,
and there’s a huge
outdoor terrace with
a barbecue in the
evenings. Bottles of
Flag Spéciale and
Casablanca are only
15MAD (€1) each.
For nightly live music
with a sub-Saharan
vibe, African Chic 26
(www.african-chic.com)
is very entertaining.
And for something
completely diff erent,
try Madame Porte 27 ,
a bar rarely frequented
by international
visitors where you’ll
fi nd an undiluted
local experience – a
man playing a synth,
a young singer, and
groups of Moroccans
grooving in their chairs.
“TO ME, MARRAKESH IS EXCITING,” says
Buddha Bar founder Claude Challe, sitting by
the large gate that separates his new venture
Djellabar 20 (www.djellabar.com) from the
outside world. “This is where I want to be.” If
you’ve been to a branch of Buddha Bar you’ll
know what to expect – playful pop-art (John
Lennon wearing a fez), chill-out music, a fusion
menu of Moroccan and Asian food, and dodgy
puns (a djellaba is a traditional robe). Challe’s
“Maroc ’n’ roll” style seems to work – only a
month after opening the bar is packed to the
rafters with Marrakesh’s notoriously fi ckle see-
and-be-seen crowd.
There’s only one place in town that can follow
drinks at Djellabar – the nearby Comptoir
Darna 21 (www.comptoirmarrakech.com),
with its nightly belly dancing shows. Ignore the
inconvenient truth that belly dancing has never
been a local tradition and just enjoy the show
for its sheer silliness. The scantily clad dancers
shake their stuff for tourists holding camera-
phones, while more fully clothed dancers waltz
around the room balancing a load of lit candles
precariously on their heads. For a quieter drink, you can sit in the shisha
pipe garden or in the quieter dining section – the menu is split between
North African and European cuisines. Drinks are unsurprisingly pricey,
but it’s worth it for the entertainment.
After the glitz and kitsch of Djellabar and Comptoir you’ll be craving
something a little more sophisticated and subtle. The Marrakesh
hip crowd’s latest obsession, the excellent L’Apero 22 , certainly fits
the bill with a relaxed, informal ambiance and great quality tapas
and drinks. The raspberry mojito is this it-bar’s cocktail du jour.
The smooth, mood-lit vibe at the bar is somewhat undermined by
the occasional football match being screened on TV, but it’s always
possible to retreat to the serenity of the palm-fringed terrace. The Sky
Bar 23 at hotel La Renaissance (www.renaissance-hotel-marrakech.
com) is the best new-town option for a drink with a view. Stylish,
with great service and great drinks, the bar’s panoramic views over
Marrakesh are unbeatable on a clear night.
Since you’re not allowed to sell alcohol within close proximity of a
mosque, nightlife options in the Medina are very limited. Our favourite
place by far is Kosybar 24 (www.kosybar.com), a brisk 10-minute
walk from Jamaa el Fna. Plush sofas, cosy fireplaces, candlelit tables,
a well-stocked wine bar and a roof terrace with a view of the Koutoubia
Mosque towering over the old city is a winning combination. Japanese
food, something of a rarity is this part of the world, is available if you’re
feeling peckish.

Souk shoppingWhen it comes to the
markets of Marrakesh,
haggling is like a sport.
So you could say that
the most important
thing is not to win but
to take part.
Many visitors
approach haggling with
trepidation or even fear.
Others get a real thrill
out of it. The trick is to
fi nd a balance between
the two.
It goes without
saying that you should
never pay the fi rst
price you’re quoted – it
could even be more
than double the going
rate. But great deals
on quality goods are
possible here, and if
after a bit of a friendly
haggle you reach an
agreement that you
think represents a fair
deal, it’s OK to hand
over the money. There’s
no need to insist on a
price so low that even
you think it’s absolutely
ridiculous.
Just remember the
golden rule of souk
shopping – you’re
always free to walk
away. And one more
thing: good luck!
MARRAKESH IS ONE OF THE GREATEST
shopping destinations in the world. But two
magic five-letter words have long been absent
from the retail scene. These words are “fixed”
and “price”. Thankfully, it’s no longer the case
that the only way to shop here is to haggle in the
souk – although that can be fun too, of course
(see column, right).
The most exciting recent development in
Marrakesh shopping is the row of boutique
shops in the arcade beneath the Terrasse des
Épices restaurant. Lalla 28 (motto: “From
Marrakesh With Love”) is run by Laetitia
Trouillet, a French woman who previously ran a
fashion business in London’s Portobello Market.
After moving to Morocco she worked as the
city’s first personal shopper – Sarah Jessica
Parker was a customer – before switching her
focus to her own store. Trouillet works with local
craftspeople to create distinctive handbags,
accessories and a vintage clothing range.
Next door, Sissi 29 is the store of French
artist Silvie Pissard, and stocks handmade
purses, pillows, shoes, teddy bears, T-shirts, and
lampshades crafted from newspaper.
Just like every item in stock, Atelier Moro 30 is a complete one-off.
Its owner, the Colombian designer Viviana Gonzalez, who’s lived in North
Africa for eight years, is constantly on the lookout for beautiful new pieces
to sell in her shop. When we popped in, she had just returned from a trip
to the countryside where she had found handicrafts and impossibly cute
toys made by local schoolkids.
33 Rue Majorelle 31 (www.33ruemajorelle.com) bills itself as
Marrakesh’s first concept store. There’s certainly nothing else here like
it – a large space over two floors where every corner is dedicated to a
different independent designer, most of whom are Moroccan. Standout
buys include kitschy purses, contemporary Moorish furnishings and
subversive art and artefacts by local maverick Hassan Hajjaj. Prices are
high, but so too is the quality.
If there’s one shop in Marrakesh you shouldn’t miss, it’s Mustapha
Blaoui 32 , but first you have to find it – would it be so hard to put a sign
on the door, Mr Blaoui? To be fair, it looks like Mustapha has no need for
signage because over the years he’s earned a reputation for being the
go-to man for Moroccan furniture, carpets, paintings, lighting, pottery
and, well, just about anything. While the elaborate, intricate items on
sale couldn’t be further removed from Scandinavian minimalism, this
warehouse feels like a 19th-century Ikea. It’s easy to wander through room
after room and end up forgetting how to get back to where you started. Sit
for a cup of tea with the softly spoken owner and he’ll sort out packaging,
international shipping and – if you ask nicely – a hefty discount on the
going price.

ne minute I’m having a quiet
pint in a charming west
Kerry pub, sprawled beside
a flickering log-fire, my toes
rattling along to an old fellow
playing a polka on a squeezy box, thinking
“ah yes, this is the only way to pass the long,
dark winters”. The next thing I know, I’m
submerged in ice-cold seawater, somewhere
in the Atlantic Ocean, repeatedly banging my
head on a surfboard I can’t control.
Well, OK, maybe there were more than a
few minutes between the two events. And
perhaps more than a few pints too. Which is
presumably what “inspired” me to sign up
to a late morning’s surfing on the strand of
Castlegregory in the midst of an Irish winter.
Despite my semi-aquatic name, I am
not and have never been a surfing dude.
I always wanted to be, but my attempts
to stand up on a board, let alone ride the
rides, have been consistently futile. But the
incentive to stay out of the water increases
considerably once you find yourself surfing
the sub-zero waves that rumble down the
coast of the Dingle Peninsula. Aided by an
inconceivably patient teacher (see www.
jamieknox.com), and a hooded O’Neill
Pscyhofreak winter wetsuit that keeps
me miraculously warm, I am astounded
to discover that, after two hours of solid
surfing lessons, I can stand upright for
several seconds at once. Not to brag.
Any trace of a hangover has long since
been washed away when I make my way
over the Conor Pass to Dingle town for
celebratory refreshments. The journey,
though precarious in places, is one of the
Winter is just the right time to tour the beautifully rugged west coast of Ireland, says Turtle Bunbury, who samples its live music scene and legendary craic — and even wades into the bracing surf. Photography by James Fennell

finest in Ireland, leading me past snow-
capped mountain peaks, plunging cliffs,
meandering rivers and oxbow lakes. This is a
landscape that needs to be enjoyed close up,
so if you’re here on the weekend of 18–19
February, give the Dingle Walking Festival
(www.dinglewalkingfestival.com) a whirl.
You’ll discover why National Geographic
Traveler described the Dingle Peninsula as
“the most beautiful place on Earth”.
The town of Dingle is perhaps one of the
most fun places you can go in Ireland. It
was not ever thus. Along the walls of Dick
Mack’s pub are a series of early 20th-century
photographs recalling a time when this
coastal enclave was little more than muddy
roads and thatched cabins. But that was then.
The town came to prominence when David
Lean’s Oscar-winning masterpiece Ryan’s
Daughter was filmed locally in 1968, and
also garnered considerable attention through
Fungie, a fun-loving Bottlenose Dolphin who
swam into the harbour in the early 1980s and
has been based here ever since. But it’s the
“craic” of the pub life, as the Irish call it, that
makes Dingle a cut above.
There are stacks of wonderful pubs
in this small town. J. Curran’s bar, which
doubles up as a general merchant and
drapery, is a straight-up classic. Among its
regulars are bachelor brothers Stevie and
Timmy Kelleher, who have hit upon a canny
solution to the drink-driving conundrum.
Even though their farm is less than 3km
from Curran’s, they know better than to
risk driving home after a few. And so they
now have two houses – the farmhouse,
where they spend most of their days, and a
townhouse in Dingle, where they “rest” on
drinking nights.
Down the road, Dick Mack’s pub still
has the cobbler’s shoeboxes rolling up the
walls, just as they did when owner Oliver
McDonnell’s father established himself as
the town’s foremost boot merchant. Oliver,
who was born and raised here, has since
converted the old family kitchen, sitting
and dining areas into alternative drinking
spots for his customers. By night, it seems
as though every rattan stool, bentwood
chair and scuff-resistant step is occupied
by someone of a different nationality.
Everywhere the banter is in full flow. When

the music starts, all ankles stir. If these
people are not Irish, they sure want to be.
From Dingle, I head back east via
Annascaul, where one of the pubs is a
veritable shrine to its one-time publican, the
Antarctic explorer Tom Crean; Tralee, home
to the world-famous Rose of Tralee contest;
and Listowel, a major horse-racing centre
that hosts a popular horse fair every year.
I get my first proper glimpse of the broad,
majestic Shannon from a pier at the back of
Finucane’s pub in Ballylongford. This is the
longest river in Britain or Ireland, its earliest
waters rising from the sphagnum mosses
of faraway County Cavan. Finucane’s
once belonged to the entrepreneurial and
prosperous O’Rahilly family, one of whom
became the only rebel leader of the Easter
Rising of 1916 to die in action. They owned
a pub, two creameries, and an enormous
corn mill that ran along the riverbanks. At
one end of the bar counter is the yardstick
once used by the pub’s in-house tailors to
measure arm lengths. Customers would sit
at the bar and drink a pint or two, while their
tailor proposed different colours and cloths.
Onwards to Glin, famous for its charismatic
Knights of Glin – the 29th and last of whom
passed away in 2011 after a lifetime in which
he promoted the wonders of Georgian
architecture in Ireland, as well as Irish
furniture and art. His home at Glin Castle has
an epic history. Many centuries ago, a son of
the then Knight of Glin was captured during
an assault by an English fleet. A message

was sent to the Knight stating that if he did
not surrender, his son would be blasted from
the ship’s canons against the castle walls.
He boisterously replied: “Fire away, there’s
plenty more where he came from!”
Back a little west of Glin is the small town
of Tarbert, with its handsome but eerie gaol,
from where I take a short ferry across the
Shannon to Killimer in south Clare. Clare is
known as the Banner County on account of
all the flags and banners unfurled in support
of Daniel O’Connell, the emancipator of
Irish Catholics, when he was elected to
represent the county in Parliament in 1828.
As legendary Irish songwriter Christy
Moore puts it: “If it’s music you want, go
to Clare.” From top to bottom there’s no
shortage of marvellous musical venues in
the county. The town of Doolin, gateway
to the Burren and Aran Islands, hosts
the Micho Russell Memorial Weekend
(www.michorussellweekend.ie) on the
last weekend of February (24–27).
Innumerable kindred souls will gather
for recitals, workshops and sessions –
prearranged and spontaneous – in honour
of one of Ireland’s finest musicians.
Nearby, Kilfenora is rightly considered
one of the finest places you could be on St
Patrick’s Day (17 March), with a splendid
parade and a lively session, starring the
Kilfenora Ceili Band. It runs until the
small hours of the morning and attracts
musicians from all over the world.
Just be careful, because you might
think you’re supping safely on your drink,
listening to the band play with no place
else to go, only to awaken abruptly in a
bracingly cold ocean with a surfboard
attached to your ankle.

The best way to get
to Dingle is to fl y
to Kerry, served by
Frankfurt (Hahn) and
London (Luton and
Stansted), then pick up
a hire car at the airport
from Hertz (www.
hertz.com). Ryanair’s

Alternatively, you could
do this trip in reverse

STAYING THERE
In Dingle, try the
inexpensive Hideout
Hostel, which caters for
independent travellers
and families with its
mix of dorms and
private rooms (www.

try the moderately
priced Ballinalacken

Snow FlashTHE SNOWHUNTER’S LATEST NEWS FROM
THE SLOPES
In resorts in the
Alps, Dolomites and
Pyrenees dozens of new hotels and apartment complexes continue
to open. And resorts
across the continent
continue to spend big on snowmaking machines to try to ensure they
can open their pistes all season (so long as it’s cold enough to make
snow).
In Italy, Madonna
di Campiglio (www.
campiglio.to) has
completed a long-
planned gondola and ski run link to its neighbour, Pinzolo, creating a 150km ski area. Kronplatz
(www.kronplatz.com) has opened a 7km long ski run accessed by
a gondola. All three
resorts are reached
easily from Verona.
Austria’s Saalbach Hinterglemm (www.
saalbach.com) and
Kitzbühel (www.
kitzbuehel.com),
both near Salzburg, have new lifts too.
In Saalbach’s case
it’s another big fast
gondola for their world beating fl eet – the
company has spent
€234m upgrading its ski slopes over the past decade, and Kitzbühel has a new six-seater chairlift with pull-down weather-protection.

drive from Marrakesh airport, meaning there’s the option of snowboarding one day and enjoying the
legendary atmosphere of the Jamaa el Fna and the souks the next (see our On the Ground section on
page 43 for more ideas). Oukaïmeden was developed by the French in the 1940s and more recently
reported to have been purchased by a company in the Middle East which has plans to develop a resort
of international standing. The lifts – an ageing double chair lift and half a dozen surface lifts – remain
fairly basic, but at 3,273m this is the highest skiing in Africa and worth it just to boast to your friends!

the city hiking up to ski when snow fell on the
local hills in the 1930s, then later adding the most

named the pistes after Greek gods and mythical

Did you ever have the nagging
sense that you weren’t living
the life you should be living?
In 2008, I did. And rather than
continue to ignore it, I posed
the following question to my husband, Evan:
“Want to move to Paris?” To my surprise,
he answered: “Hell yes. Let’s go.”
When we arrived in January of 2009, the
winter clouds extended the typical muted
greys and whites of Paris’s streets and
Haussmann buildings across the entire sky.
The whole city was a perfect, neutral palette
against which anything could happen. We
had our fresh start.
As we strolled, the objects that attracted
my eye were café chairs, coffee cups,
flowers, graffiti, doors, and chalkboards
– things meant to be touched, shared,
enjoyed, and worn down. On our long
PARIS
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the
best. Photographer Nichole Robertson
explains how, one greyJanuary day, she
had the idea of documenting the
vivid colour palette of her city
walks, one particular object would strike
me – a bright blue moped, for example –
and I’d obsess about that colour for the rest
of the day. Focusing on only one colour
allowed me to see things I might otherwise
have overlooked, like a door handle or an
interesting pattern in chipped paint. Each
colourful detail popped against the natural
textures of the beautiful, worn buildings
as if waiting to be noticed. Some were out
in the open. Others were well concealed
from casual passers-by. Those were the best
discoveries.
Paris taught me a lot of things; most
important among them is to take my time.
I hope that these photos inspire you to put
down your preoccupations as well, at least
for a little while, so that you can find as
much happiness in viewing them as I did
in discovering them.

The secret is out. Growing
numbers of tourists are
discovering Lithuania’s
beautiful and beguiling
capital, from its museums
and growing culinary scene to its lively
nightlife. But while the magnificent churches,
cathedrals and castles dotted around one
of Europe’s largest old towns explain the
city’s history, they don’t tell you much
about modern life in a place that’s changed
dramatically over the past two decades. This
is, after all, a town where they tore down
the statues of Marx and Lenin and replaced
them with Frank Zappa. There’s nowhere
quite like Vilnius, but to understand it you
must indulge in three thoroughly Lithuanian
obsessions – drinking, basketball and radical
art. Which is exactly what I did.
State of Fluxus It seems improbable that the former Ministry
of Health, a huge building right at the heart
of downtown Vilnius, would be handed
over to artists and anarchists by the local
authorities. But not every city has a mayor
like Artu-ras Zuokas, who shot to worldwide
fame in summer 2011 after releasing a video
that showed him driving over a Mercedes in
a tank, shouting “this is what will happen

VILNIUS
Here you’ll find vintage, bric-a-brac, books,
jewellery, old postcards and posters, and
one-off creations by local designers.
Beer, beer and more beer (and some non-alcoholic options)Little known fact: for every Lithuanian
citizen there are seven Lithuanian
breweries. OK, that’s less than true, but
about 300 local beers are on sale at
Bambalyne. Beer Bar (7 Stikliu G, tel: +370
5240 5670), a preposterous tally for such
a small country. Dark beers and hearty
ales dominate the drinking at this moody
underground cellar, so expect distinctive,
assertive flavours and equally strong
reactions. Some brews here are as potent
as red wine. You’ll need to work your way
through a few bottles to even consider

if you park your car illegally!”. The car, it
turned out, was purchased specifically for
the stunt, and the distressed owner of the
crushed vehicle was played by an actor.
Maybe his fondness that kind of prank
helps explain why Zuokas has opened a
building dedicated to Fluxus, the radical art
movement of the 1960s and 1970s led by
Lithuanian-born George Maciunas.
Fluxus artists used humour, performance
art and a strong sense of mischief to spread
their anarchic, anti-authoritarian ideas. A
distrust of conventionality, a DIY attitude to
production and a warped sense of fun mean
that, like the movement itself, the Ministry
of Fluxus (27 Gedimino Pr) is positively
anarchic. Every inch of wall space is covered
in art and graffiti; some brilliant, some not –
it doesn’t seem to matter. Living and working
among the abandoned shopping trolleys,
broken musical instruments and oddly
shaped furniture, a group of local artists uses
the building as both HQ and muse. Don’t be
scared to open doors and wander around
freely – the word “fluxus” is, after all, Latin
for “flow”.
For a gentler introduction to Lithuanian art,
visit the Contemporary Art Centre (2 Vokieciu,
tel: +370 5260 8960, www.cac.lt) in the heart
of the Old Town. It features a permanent
exhibition on the Fluxus movement – although
you’ve probably had enough of all that by now
– and stages a new cutting-edge exhibition
every couple of months.
To purchase arts and crafts made by
Vilnius’s up-and-coming talents, visit the
Sunday flea market (39 Vilniaus, 12–4pm)
in the courtyard of perennially hip bar

stomaching Bambalyne.’s traditional
Lithuanian drinking food – smoked pig’s
nose. The snout is sliced and served up with
a dash of horseradish. Who’d have thought
cartilage could be so chewy?
You’ve got to admire the cheek of a bar
that calls itself Gringo (31/1 Vilniaus, tel:
+370 6549 0541) and then busts its gut
to appeal to a foreign clientele – Premier
League on the TV, a wide range of imported
beers, free wi-fi, menus in English. But
perhaps because of its backstreet location,
it’s not touristy. Instead, it’s the place to
meet long-term expatriates and Lithuanians
wanting to practise their English. Despite
its name, the fearsomely cool bar/club/
hangout Gorky (34 Pilies, tel: +370 6521
8035) seems to have less to do with the
golden age of Soviet literature than it does
with the golden age of Soviet boozing. The
liquor of choice here is Trejos Devynerios,
also known as 999, a long-standing herbal
concoction in the spirit of Jägermeister
that’s luminous enough to take to the dance
floor if you’ve accidentally left your glow
stick at home.
For more conventional (and non-
alcoholic) drink, head to Europe’s least
conventional neighbourhood, Užupis, which
has declared itself an independent republic
with its own currency, flag, constitution,
president and army of between 12 and
17 men, depending on who’s available
at the time. On the main drag you’ll find
Thierry Kepykla (19 Užupio, tel: +370 6766
0889), a Parisian bakery selling croissants,
baguettes, cakes and – most importantly –
authentically frothy French coffee. It’s run
by a Frenchman who moved to Lithuania
six years ago to work with street kids.
Kepykla fell in love with the country and is
now giving this bohemian neighbourhood
even greater claim to being considered the
Montmartre of the Baltics.
If you’ve been taking full advantage of
some of Europe’s cheapest and best beers,
then head to homely, hippyish Sulcius (15
Totoriu, tel: +370 6035 3102) for a tailor-
made recovery drink. At this impossibly cute
juice bar (motto: “for those that don’t drink
beer”), the resident squeezers will combine
fruit, vegetables, herbs and spices to conjure
up delicious and healthy liquids. The ginger
and cinnamon juice is very, very, very
gingery, but you’ll feel reborn afterwards.
Vegan snacks such as cookies and samosas
are on hand if you’re feeling peckish.

Hoop dreams and slam dunksLithuanians aren’t joking when they describe
basketball as the country’s second religion,
so for a surefire conversation starter in a
Vilnius bar, just mumble something about
rebounds and assists. Just be careful on
the sensitive topic of the national team’s
showing in last summer’s European
championships though. If basketball is a
religion, the humiliating defeat to minnows
Macedonia in the quarters was enough to
spark mass apostasy, especially since the
event was being hosted on home soil.
Now all the tears, jeers and
recriminations are in the past, Lithuanians
have returned to squabbling over domestic
rivalries – namely that between Vilnius
challengers Lietuvos Rytas and Kaunas
top dogs Žalgiris, who between them have
won every single championship since the
Lithuanian league began 20 years ago. If
Lietuvos are playing on your visit, get a
ticket for a game at the 11,500-capacity
Siemens Arena (14 Ozo G, tel: +370 5 247
7576, www.siemens-arena.com).
If it’s sold out, the next best thing is an
evening at Stars & Legends sports bar
(Šaru-nas Hotel, 4 Raitininku, tel: +370 6140
0099). Owned by Šaru-nas Marciulionis,
one of the all-time Lithuanian basketball
greats, the bar comes alive on game nights
– a frankly intimidating number of TVs
guarantee a great view wherever you’re
sitting. To really fit in, learn the lyrics to
Lithuania’s basketball anthem Trys Milijonai
(search for it on YouTube), order a plate
of fried bread and pig’s ears, and avoid all
mention of Macedonia.

THE PLACE
Some 135 million people visited Berlin in 2010 and it’s no wonder given the city’s unique and vibrant energy. This is evident in everything from the eclectic architecture to the open, friendly attitude of its people.
Germany is also a financial powerhouse and one of the most stable economies in the world. An estimated 84% of the city’s population rent rather than own. And, compared with capitals like London and Paris where you can expect to pay in excess of €10,000 per m2, in Berlin that figure is less than €3,000 per m2. Low-cost property combined with high rental demand equals an investor’s dream.
THE PROFESSIONALS
Darrell Smith from Buy Berlin (www.buyberlin.co.uk) is an estate agent and property finder dealing with both residential and commercial sales and lettings.
“Although compared with other European capitals Berlin is considered cheap, that is not going to be the case for long,” he says. “Historically, Berliners were happy to rent long-term, and many still will be, but with increasing rental costs they are switching on to the fact that it can be cheaper to have a mortgage.”
THE PROCESS
“The first thing a buyer should do is familiarise themselves with the city’s different areas,” says Dr Esfandiar Khorrami, a Berlin-based lawyer with Bottermann Khorrami (www.bk-law.de).
“It all comes down to micro-locations – you turn a corner and suddenly you are in an area with a different price value and feel. While agents might try to sell a particular area for personal gain, a banker or lawyer may be more insightful, independent, and be able to provide a more personal view on location,” he says.

price (handled by the agent) you then instruct a notary to act on your behalf, by signing a mandate and paying them the costs associated with the purchase, which will be about 12%. Note that the buyer pays the agent’s fees, because it is free for a homeowner to sell their property. The process can take anywhere from four weeks to four months, depending on the needs of the parties involved.
Although the final step of having your name registered with the land registry can take several months after completion, you are still the legal owner once the purchase payment has been made.
Presently, non-German residents can expect to acquire a mortgage for 50% of the property price, increasing to 80–90% for residents and those with good credit. For investment purchases, around 70% of the financing can be acquired through a mortgage, 70–80% if you want to buy a block of apartments.
“Take advantage of local knowledge and local expertise and do not try to do it all yourself. And don’t waste too many trips coming to Berlin for administrative purposes,” says Khorrami. Although I don’t think there is such a thing as a wasted trip to Berlin!P

WILL IT MAKE ME RICH? Exclusive loft apartments like this will always be in demand. Capital appreciation in this neighbourhood is strong and a five-year view could reward you with 25% growth.
WILL IT MAKE ME RICH?
At less than €3,000 per m2 it has a long way to go to catch up with its European counterparts, but as more savvy Germans (and other investors) descend on the city for its charm, sophistication and stability, the property prices are expected to rise greatly over the next 10 years.

Within Shrine Grounds Great Food all Day
Matt Molloy’s Bar overflows all year with visitors from all five continents.
What is surprising is that the bar manages to keep the sense of
intimacy which is vital for the music to flourish. Knowing that traditional
musicians prefer cosy nooks and crannies, Matt has purposely kept the
bar small so that they can congregate to enjoy a pint and a tune. If he
is not on tour, Matt joins in the session and if you have been dazzled
by his flute playing with The Chieftains, you can sit down here for
the price of a pint and hear the same music.

RYANAIR’S CUSTOMER SERVICE STATISTICSRyanair is committed to publishing its customer
service statistics each month, which showed again
in November that Ryanair is No. 1 for customer
service and the most punctual airline in Europe,
beating easyJet every week since 2003.
CUSTOMER SERVICE STATISTICS NOVEMBER 2011 (31,000 FLIGHTS)On-time fl ights 92%
Complaints per 1,000 pax 0.95
Baggage complaints per 1,000 pax 0.38
Complaints answered
within seven days 99%
MORE CUSTOMER SERVICE ENHANCEMENTSONLINE CHECK IN AND PRIORITY BOARDINGAll passengers now check-in online using Ryanair’s
Check’N’Go service up to 15 days prior to fl ight
departure, making it easier than ever before to avoid
airport check-in queues. The Online Check-in system
is now available in 10 languages, so it’s never been
easier to avoid airport queues and check in from the
comfort of your own home.
Check out www.ryanair.com for more details on
priority boarding to avoid even more queues next
time you fl y.
WHY DOES RYANAIR BLOCK OFF SEATS ONBOARD?Due to performance limits set down by Boeing, Rya-
nair are required to block off seats onboard when
the number of passengers on board falls below a
specifi ed number – this ensures that the weight of
passengers and bags carried is correctly distributed
in front of and behind the aircraft’s centre of gravity.
The most punctual airline, with the fewest cancellations and least lost bags
THE BEST PUNCTUALITY AND THE FEWEST LOST BAGSThe latest published on-time statistics of the Association of
European Airlines for 2009 again prove that Ryanair is the

RYANAIR: EUROPE’S GREENEST AND CLEANEST AIRLINEAviation accounts for just 2% of CO2 emissions,
far less than power generation (26%) or road
transport (18%).
Passengers who choose Ryanair are doing
their bit by fl ying with Europe’s greenest
and cleanest airline. Since 1998 Ryanair has
invested over $10bn in new aircraft and now
operates the youngest most fuel effi cient
fl eet of any major airline in Europe, a fact
recently confi rmed by the Dutch Consumer
Organisation in its recent study of 33 European
airlines.
As a result of this investment and
technological advances in aircraft design,
Ryanair has reduced its fuel burn and CO2
emissions per passenger kilometre by 52%
since 1998. In short, aviation accounts for just
2% of CO2 emissions and within this sector,
passengers can do no better than choosing
Ryanair, the greenest, cleanest and most
environmentally effi cient airline.

Gucci Guilty
A rush of mandarin and pink pepper gives way to heady lilac and geranium, laced
with the succulent tactility of peach. Base notes of patchouli convey a message of
strength, whilst the voluptuousness of amber suggests deep femininity. 50ml
€46.00
Gucci Guilty Pour Homme
This scent opens with invigorating Italian lemon and mandarin, turns into an aphrodisiac
cardamom note to end with patchouli and sandalwood gleaming with amber to create a
robustly earthy, yet suggestively exotic sensuality of profound masculinity. 50ml
€38.00
135 RYANAIRMAGAZINE
D&G No 3 - L’imperatrice – for her
The Star. Flamboyant and energetic, for L’Impératrice, life is a movie
and she is its heroine. Succulent exotic fruits and bright pink fl orals give
way to a musky, appetite-arousing base. 100ml
€36.00
D&G No 11 - La Force – for him
The Achiever. For men for whom action is the driving passion, La Force is the scent of a life
without limits. Nothing is ever impossible when La Force is at the helm. La Force has a masculine
character: powerful oriental spices in the top notes settle into an expanse of headily opulent base
notes dominated by vanilla bourbon. An iron fi st in a velvet glove. 100ml
€36.00
Dolce & Gabbana Rose the One
Dolce & Gabbana rose the one is the breathtaking realisation of a contemporary feminine
fl oral, and a deftly sensual paean to the eternal romance of the rose. In a spirit of high
romance, Dolce & Gabbana invites you to become part of a ravishing new chapter in
the story of the one. Lavishly feminine, the woman who embraces rose the one is a
mischievously beguiling yet tender coquette. 50ml
€46.00
Dolce & Gabbana The One Gentleman
Dolce & Gabbana the one gentleman: The essence of the Dolce & Gabbana
man. The sophisticated new scent from Dolce & Gabbana, the one gentleman, is a bottled
homage to the modern gentleman. Refi ned elegance and cultivated ease allow him to
eff ortlessly master any given situation. The one gentleman is the ultimate connoisseur’s scent:
its sublime oriental fougère speaks of understated allure, and of an innate confi dence. 50ml
