'Dresden's Green Heart', as this public park is known, is located just to the southeast of the city centre and offers both visitors and local Dresdeners a verdant respite from city life. They can be seen rollerblading, strolling or simply lying in the grass and taking in the sun.

A half-day walking tour puts the spotlight on Parma's famous cuisine with stops at the locals’ favourite eateries and shops. Explore the city's main attractions and make stops for small bites and interesting stories from food vendors. Start with a visit to a traditional Prosciutteria and try Culatello di Zibello, Salame Felino, Coppa, Culaccia and Spalla Cruda. Next, explore the selection at a fresh pasta shop and taste different ageings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese at a deli. Explore traditional bistros for a glass of exquisite wine. Try some street food from an old sandwich shop. Get a flakey dessert at a patisserie and finish with a refreshingly cool and creamy artisanal gelato.

The Knoops Park is a magnificent 19th century garden in the north of Bremen. It was designed by the landscape designer Wilhelm Benque, who also created the Bür-gerpark (People's Park). The park's highlights include the elegant Mühlenthal palace and the sensory garden, which gives people with impaired vision the chance to enjoy the natural world in an approachable and accessible way. In summer, the Knoops Park hosts a series of classical concerts as part of the "Summer in Lesmona" music festival.
