In the middle of the Øresund strait, right between Sweden and Denmark, lies the idyllic island of Ven. The astronomer Tycho Brahe was gifted the whole island by King Fredrik II after he discovered a new star in the Cassiopeia constellation. Here he constructed one of the most interesting buildings of the time: the Uraniborg castle, a subterranean observatory called Stjerneborg and a renaissance garden. The New Church of Ven has now been turned into a museum, the garden has been renovated, and in the observatory you can watch a light and sound show. The light in Ven is said to have a unique quality, which has attracted many an artist and ceramist to the island. Take a tour among the studios and workshops, and meet with sculptors and silversmiths along the way. Ven is a small island, and the best way to get around is by bike, which you can easily rent when you get off the ferry.

A trip to one of Los Cabos’ most recognized landmarks, 'El Arco,' is a must. The 200-foot-high rock formation, situated just off the shore of Lover’s Beach, has the best view of the ocean. A water taxi from the Cabo San Lucas marina will take you underneath the arch and close to the sea lion colony. It's a perfect whale watching site and snorkeling spot.
