The Roman city of Itálica is home to an ancient amphitheatre (you may know it as the Dragonpit in “Game of Thrones”), aqueducts, mosaics, and much more. Founded in 206 BC, it was one of the most advanced cities at the time. Itálica is located 7 kilometres outside of Seville, which makes a visit to the archaeological site a perfect day trip.

This mill is one of at least 10 hydraulic constructions erected along the "Ribera de los Molinos" (The Mills Riverbank) in the 16th century.

This spectacular urban Buddhist temple (the head temple of the Jogye Order) is a highlight on any Busan itinerary. A pleasant uphill hike through quiet nature will take you to temple grounds, with beautiful ornate pavilions, Buddhist statues and worshippers, which include both temporary visitors and monks who reside here permanently. Temple grounds tend to get busy during holidays and weekends. You can either make a few hours' trip or – for full cultural immersion – book an overnight stay that includes an introduction to monastic life, complete with joining a formal dinner and pre-dawn chanting. Stays must booked in advance via the website, and there are several different programmes available. If you opt for the full experience, do mind that the (silent!) wake-up hour is at 5am.
