The Venkatappa Art Gallery focuses on Indian sculptures, numismatics, and music, featuring artworks that date back to the 4th century and onward. Its prestigious exhibition of archaeological artefacts is the museum's pride and a real magnet for history and art lovers.

The Alcazaba of Badajoz is the city's historic fortress that once served as the home of the Taifa kings. As the city's former defensive structure, it is surrounded by several towers, as well as the Guadiana River, much to the visual delight of visitors.

Jemaa el-Fna, the vibrant epicentre of Marrakesh's medina, is a riot of colours, sounds and scents, especially at sunset. Though the square has transitioned from its roots as a daily food market for mountain traders, its hustle and energy remain palpable. During the day, vendors offer refreshing fruit juices, but it's at dusk when the place truly transforms. Street theatre, or 'halqa,' has been a mainstay here since the 11th century, and the tradition continues in modern times. As the sun dips below the horizon, food stalls magically unfold, adding tantalising aromas to the air. Musicians tune their instruments, snake charmers enchant both serpents and tourists, and the spectacle crescendos into a nightly celebration of Marrakeshi life and culture.

The Hopsewee Plantation, which predates the Revolutionary War, is a remarkably well-preserved historical landmark. You can tour the four-bedroom home or stroll the grounds of this once-sprawling rice plantation.
