Pinacoteca Agnelli is an art gallery that displays art from a vast private collection. You'll find Renoir's Blonde Bather and Manet's La Négresse, as well as works by Matisse, Canaletto, Tiepolo, Canova, Picasso and Modigliani. The futuristic "crystal spaceship" pavilion is an attraction in itself. The Pinacoteca is perched on top of the Lingotto complex — the headquarters of the Italian auto giant Fiat, founded by Giovanni Agnelli. It was built as a car factory in the 1920s, and was the largest and most modern plant of its kind in Europe. A winding brutalist ramp took cars to the top of the building, where they could drive the 500 m long test track. The ramp and the test track are still in top-notch condition, but the building itself now serves a different function. While its exterior remained largely unaltered, the interior was revived to house an exhibition centre, a conference centre and auditorium, two hotels, offices and shops. The iconic ‘Bubble’ — a transparent meeting room on the roof — was also added.

Located west of Newcastle, this region is home to many of Australia’s top wineries, most of which are centred around Polkobin, although Cessnock is the area’s main town. The main attraction here is visiting the wineries and tasting the locally-grown fruits. There is no public transport between the wineries in Hunter Valley, so your best bet would be to hire a tour company.

Set in the foothills of the picturesque Eungella Range, walking tracks lead to deep natural swimming holes amid tropical rainforest. See the Araluen and Wheel of Fire waterfalls and for a truly unique experience go forest flying through the treetops of the rainforest. Just make sure you book your spot to go forest flying in advance.

Aquae Calidae, located about 17 kilometres from central Burgas, is a historical site that blends ancient and modern elements. Known for its Roman baths dating back to the 1st century AD, the site also features medieval structures and the restored bathhouse of Suleiman the Magnificent. Modern walkways and 3D mapping technology guide visitors through its rich history, from Thracian times to the Ottoman era. The complex includes a café, souvenir shop, and an amphitheatre, with plans for further development, including a museum and active spa centre.
