Cruise up the River as our ancestors did - by boat. Renting a boat allows you to relax as you sail by beautiful landscapes. Another advantage is the ability to stop wherever takes your fancy.

Kings Island is the kind of place where you show up thinking you’ll spend a few hours and somehow end up staying all day. The coasters are the real stars—The Beast is a classic, Orion is pure speed, and Mystic Timbers keeps you guessing. But even if you’re not into big drops, there’s plenty to do, from kid-friendly rides to water slides at Soak City. Plus, seasonal events like Halloween Haunt and WinterFest keep things interesting year-round.

A day trip from Madrid offers the perfect excuse to step back in time, and few places capture Spain’s medieval legacy quite like Ávila and Salamanca, both proudly listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Your adventure begins in Ávila, a walled city that appears lifted straight from the pages of a history book. Its imposing stone ramparts, punctuated by 88 defensive towers, encircle a beautifully preserved old town. Step inside and you’ll find Romanesque gems such as the Ávila Cathedral, part fortress and part place of worship, as well as the Basilica of San Vicente, famed for its architecture and colourful stonework. Ávila sits just over 100 kilometres from Madrid, and you can easily reach it by train or coach, both options run frequently throughout the day. From Ávila, continue west to the golden-hued city of Salamanca, home to one of Europe’s oldest universities. Its nickname, La Dorada, The Golden City, comes from the glow of its sandstone buildings, especially beautiful at sunset. Wander across the Plaza Mayor, often hailed as Spain’s finest square, then lose yourself among the cloisters, libraries and carvings of the historic university quarter. While Salamanca is delightful by day, it truly comes alive at night, its tapas bars and buzzing student energy make it tempting to extend your stay beyond a day trip.
