Boulevard World is a flagship zone of the annual Riyadh Season, a large-scale entertainment festival typically running from October to March. This temporary theme park is conceived as a global tour, featuring elaborate pavilions and replicas of international landmarks that evoke destinations from Venice to Tokyo. Beyond the architectural simulations, the zone offers a condensed experience of global cultures through themed dining, shopping, and live performances. Centred around a vast artificial lagoon, it functions as a major attraction within the wider festival, which transforms the city with concerts, sporting events, and numerous other entertainment districts.

The hot springs of Korbous have been celebrated for their medicinal properties for centuries, ever since they were first discovered at the turn of the 19th century. Some skin conditions and health issues such as arthritis are believed to be if not healed, then largely eased by the thermal waters.

The Basilica of San Zeno is one of Verona’s key medieval landmarks, and a favourite for many locals. The church you see now was rebuilt in the 12th century after an earthquake, but it sits on a much older site from the 5th century. Inside, don’t miss the bronze doors—covered in strange and detailed scenes—and the altarpiece by Mantegna, one of the best in town.

Just southeast of Molina, this popular park offers waterfalls, walking trails, and plenty of spots to pause and enjoy the scenery. It’s a nice place for a picnic or an easy stroll, whether you’re with family, friends, or on your own. Not far from Verona, it’s a good option if you want to get out of the city for a couple of hours.
