EDITORIAL Avion Tourism Magazine N68/2018 Even though the hottest summer months have already passed, it's never too late to fill your suitcases and get away from it all, choosing one of the many destinations on offer from Milan Bergamo Airport. For travellers to Europe, we recommend two enchanting cities. Faro, in Portugal, is the heart of the Algarve, the southernmost region of the country. The city blends unspoilt nature and ancient history in its splendid cathedral, characteristic churches, beautiful sea with stunning beaches and small islands, and nature reserves. Istanbul, in Turkey, offers discovery after discovery with ancient mosques, sumptuous palaces, museums, old and new districts, bazaars for shopping and trips such as tours on the Bosphorus and to the Princes Islands in the Marmara Sea, along the Asian coastline of the city. In Africa, we suggest Tangier, the gateway to Morocco, which dominates the Strait of Gibraltar. A wonderful place to explore, Tangier combines old and new in its winding streets, colourful markets, medina, mosques and palaces, as well as museums and archaeological sites. Moscow offers a very different kind of charm. Famous for its monuments, churches and valuable buildings such as the Kremlin, Red Square and St. Basil's Church, it also offers an infinite number of other things to see and do such as museum visits, trips to the theatres, events and excursions. Another interesting destination is Shanghai, in China, which can be reached from Milan Bergamo Airport with flights operated by the airline BMI Regional to Munich and, after a stopover, with Lufthansa. The "Pearl of the Orient", with its skyline of high rises, is one of the world's most modern international cities, which is filled with monuments, museums, old and new districts tilled with discoveries and gastronomic delights. We also feature a column dedicated to Shopping in the Airport, a focus on connecting airports and flights operated by airlines from Milan Bergamo and a feature on the rights of the passenger to discover what protection is given to air travellers. Airport passengers can browse a hard copy of the magazine in the VIP Lounges, in the Sala Amica and in the Sala Mure Venete.
