Lauwersmeer National Park, straddling the border of Groningen and Friesland, emerged from the transformation of the Lauwerszee into a lake in 1969. This park, a haven for over 100 bird species and a key stopover in their migratory paths, offers a blend of open water, grasslands, reed beds and forests. Notable for its tranquillity and natural beauty, it's also a designated Dark Sky Park, ideal for stargazing. Home to unique wildlife, including Konik horses and Scottish Highland cattle, the park provides enriching experiences through hiking and boat photo tours.

Established in 1871, the Art Gallery of NSW showcases fine Australian and international modern and contemporary works in expansive, light-filled spaces. The Grand Courts are home to a collection of colonial Australian works and European old masters, while dedicated galleries celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artwork and Asian collections. Regular guided tours are offered in Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean.

Tempio Malatestiano, also called Duomo di Rimini, was completely refurbished by the Malatesta family during the XV century. Important artists as Leon Battista Alberti, Matteo de' Pasti, Agostino di Duccio and Piero della Francesca worked on it. Today, besides being a place of worship, the Tempio houses also a museum of manuscripts and reliquaries from the XIV and XV century.
