The Backstreet Cultural Museum celebrates New Orleans' vibrant street culture and rich Mardi Gras history. It showcases an impressive collection of Mardi Gras Indian costumes and a variety of musical artifacts. Visitors can delve into the city’s artistic and cultural heritage through its exhibits, as well as enjoy live music and dance performances.

A bit outside Verona, but worth the trip if you’re into natural history. This small two-floor museum focuses on fossils from the nearby hills, which used to be a tropical sea. You’ll see fish, insects, plants, even reptiles—some surprisingly well-preserved. The collection isn’t huge, but it’s solid and well curated.

New Orleans' historic streetcars are more than just a convenient way to get around—they're an iconic attraction in their own right. Six vintage streetcars (NOT trolleys), dating back to the 1920s, currently operate across three lines, and they hold a special place in the hearts of both locals and visitors.

Mizen Head on the Mizen Peninsula is Ireland's mainland most southwesterly point. Breathtaking cliffs, beautiful views, lively sea life and educational experiences can all be found here. Head right away to the Visitor Centre, where you'll learn more about the history of this place, which is home to a signal station that housed Ireland's first radio beacon. Then, climb down the 99 steps that lead to a high arched suspension bridge connecting a rocky crag to the mainland, until you find yourself at the signal station, where another exciting exhibition awaits. Out on the horizon, you can spot the imposing Fastnet Lighthouse standing on a rock known as Ireland’s teardrop.
