Behind the Basilica di San Lorenzo, the Medici Chapels are a major stop for anyone interested in Florence’s history. Built to honour the Medici family—patrons, rulers, and power players—the chapels hold some of the most impressive tombs in the city. The Sagrestia Nuova (New Sacristy), designed by Michelangelo in the 16th century, is the standout, mixing sculpture, architecture, and a fair bit of Medici pride.

Val d’Orcia conjures up everything you picture when you think of Tuscany—rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and quiet hill towns. It’s a protected UNESCO site, partly because of the landscape, partly because of how little it’s changed over the centuries. Pienza is the standout—it was designed as the 'ideal city' during the Renaissance and still feels unusually well put together. The Abbey of Sant’Antimo is a peaceful stop, tucked into the countryside. And if you're into wine, this is Brunello country—some of the best reds in Italy. Even just driving through is half the experience.

Just a short 20-minute drive from Lynden lies the vibrant city of Bellingham, home to the magnificent Whatcom Falls Park.

The park also offers recreational amenities including a playground and tennis courts.
