Right next to the famous Red Square sits Moscow's first urban park since half a century. Designed by American architects Diller Scofidio and Renfro and inaugurated in September 2017, this massive piece of land in the heart of the Russian capital is more than just a park, it is a breath of fresh air to the city's landscape and a new meeting place for locals and tourists alike. Take a walk around its 35-acre grounds and visit its multiple attractions including: two amphitheaters, a market, a restaurant, a world-class philharmonic concert hall, an ice cave, and a boomerang-shaped bridge floating over the Moscow River.

With only a handful of glowing bays in the entire world, Luminous Lagoon is an unmissable sight for those staying overnight in Falmouth. Guided boat tours usually start at dusk and take visitors to waters where millions of microorganisms, called dinoflagellates, illuminate the lagoon once it is agitated by boats — or daring swimmers submerging for a really hands-on experience.

Despite its name, this isn’t just a cemetery — it’s a vast neighbourhood where thousands of people live alongside mausoleums and tombs. The 'City of the Dead' refers to the large burial grounds, but it’s very much alive, with families building rooms next to graves that have become permanent homes. Markets, mosques, and everyday streets thread through the area, offering a side of Cairo you won’t find anywhere else.
