Unique Cities – Oberstdorf, Germany
by triangletravel

In our search for unique cities, we have stumbled across the German city of Oberstdorf. Oberstdorf is a small town in the Allgau region of Southern Germany.

It is a three hour train journey from Munich airport an...

The review below was written by a client who booked through Triangle Travel in Pangbourne and he took time to write his thoughts. "Hotel Radi...

by triangletravel

The outbound Job that I was involved with went extremely well, which meant that I had about 36 hours in Rio before I flew home.  I had prepared for the cold weather in Norway (from where we started), where it was minus 10 the morning we departed but when we got to Rio, I really could have done with a baseball cap to preve...
