Al-Shaheed Martyrs Memorial is one of Baghdad’s most recognisable landmarks, commemorating the courage and sacrifice of Iraqis who fought in various wars. Designed by renowned Iraqi architect Ismail Fatah Al Turk, the monument was built between 1981 and 1983. Located about 4.5 kilometres north of Tahrir Square, near the Tigris River, the site forms part of a larger complex that includes well-maintained green spaces, trees, and an indoor park. Although the memorial is currently closed for renovations, as is the case with several historical sites in Iraq, you can always negotiate with the on-site guards for a closer look past the gate.

Carolina Beach is the perfect beach for a family vacation, where both tourists and locals can spend a marvellous day. In the summer months it is especially popular among locals. Restrooms and shower facilities are provided here. Also a small water park can be found off the 2nd parking lot.

In the heart of Konak Square stands İzmir's most iconic landmark, the Clock Tower. Erected in 1901 to mark the 25th anniversary of Sultan Abdul Hamid II's reign, the tower has a height of 25 metres and features four floors and an octagonal plan, characterised by a white marble platform and cut stone structures. No visit would be complete without a photograph next to the majestic monument.

Bačvice is the closest beach to downtown Split and, though it gets extremely crowded in summer, is a delightful spot to relax under the hot sun. Hide from the heat and rehydrate at any of the numerous quaint cafes frequented by locals playing picigin, a ball game that sees its origin here in Split.
