This secluded beach area is one of Puerto Vallarta’s most popular hideaways. Las Caletas, on the southern shores of Bay of Banderas, can only be reached by boat. Once there, you can enjoy different activities like snorkeling and kayaking.

The Drum Tower, originally built in the 14th century without a single iron nail, is a testament to ancient Chinese craftsmanship. This remarkable structure holds 24 drums, representing the traditional Chinese solar terms that marked the seasons. Reconstructed in the 17th century, the tower remains a focal point of Xi’an’s history. Visitors can climb to the top for sweeping views of the old city and enjoy live drum performances held every other hour.

The biggest universal museum in Austria. Permanent exhibitions on nature and engineering, supplemented by visiting exhibitions. The view from the terrace over the roofs of Linz is unforgettable.

Phuket and beaches go hand in hand; whether it’s surfing, people-watching, or just sinking into quiet sand, there’s a stretch of coastline for every mood. Freedom Beach stays quiet for a reason: it’s tucked behind the jungle and can be reached either by longtail boat or by a steep trail for those willing to hike. The effort pays off with soft sand, clear water, and almost no facilities. Kata Beach has more going on, with surf lessons, cafés, and plenty of space, while Kata Noi, just around the corner, is calmer and more relaxed. Patong Beach is the opposite end of the spectrum: long, busy, and lined with bars, shops, and nightlife. Somewhere in between, Karon, Nai Harn, and Surin offer long stretches of sand without the chaos, still with enough restaurants and sunbeds if needed.
