The picturesque regional park covers over 23,000 hectares along the coast from Viareggio to Livorno. The grounds feature estates and historic buildings and forested walking trails. You will come across organic farms, apiaries, an archeological area, the Navicelli canal and multiple natural reserves with distinct natural environments. Of course, there is a beach area to swim and cool down after a hike. You can find handy booklets and brochures at the Visitor Centre of Cascine Vecchie. The official website has an exhaustive list of attractions and their opening hours, plus a list of official guides.

If you’re a fan of crystals and minerals, the MIM Mineral Museum in Beirut is a must-visit. Its collection displays gemstones from all over the world in a setting that feels magical. Highlights include the interactive fossil theatre, a 3D installation featuring a flying dinosaur, and even four pieces of meteorite rock. With over 2,000 minerals currently on display, it’s one of the most impressive collections in the region. Even if minerals aren’t usually your thing, the museum presents everything in such an engaging and creative way that it’s easy to get absorbed. Entry is free, though a donation box at the entrance lets you show your support.

This red-brick building is the home of the Kumari — a young girl chosen as the city's 'living goddess', a charge she occupies until reaching puberty. Inside is a wonderful courtyard (considered by some to be the most beautiful in all of Nepal) where the Kumari herself may be seen from 9 am to 11 am, though photographing her is forbidden.

Cagayan de Oro is famous for its whitewater river rafting and kayaking, and there are many companies that specialise in the sport (Kagay Whitewater Rafting being one). Most are easily found along the riverside. The river has a series of rapids, rocks and boulders that make it a thrilling ride.
