The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart is hard to miss—by day, it’s a sleek glass cube reflecting the city; by night, its illuminated limestone core glows from within. The museum holds around 5,000 square metres of exhibition space, much of it tucked beneath the square in repurposed tunnels. It’s home to the world’s largest collection of works by Otto Dix, including his famous triptych Großstadt. The collection also includes pieces by Adolf Hölzel, Willi Baumeister, and other key figures in modern and contemporary German art.

Abu Dhalouf is located on the west of Madinat Ash Shamal and seems to be almost part of it. It’s a quiet town but has one of Qatar’s nicest parks. Abu Dhalouf Park is one of Qatar’s nicest parks. It has something for everyone to do from little ones to adults. The park is lush green and is filled with trees, hedges and colourful flowers. There are two play areas where the children can have fun and play games while the adults set up a picnic. It’s a lovely spot that opens onto a beach with shallow waters so the little children can also enjoy the water. The views here are fantastic and if you’re in Madinat Ash Shamal, this park is not to be missed.

The Sarajevo tunnel was constructed by the citizens during the siege that took place between 1992 and 1995. Serbian forces had entirely cut off the city and this tunnel served as a link between the neighbourhoods Dobrinja and Butmir. This enabled food and aid to come in, and people to get out.
