Talking the rapid transit trains in Singapore is not only better for the environment, but it also allows you to experience Singapore a little bit more like a local. Grab an EZ-Link card or buy a Singapore Tourist Pass and use the MRT, buses, and your feet to explore the city. With the help of public transportation you can see more of Singapore in one day than most visitors can fit into a week. Start your tour at HarbourFront. Have breakfast, spend some time strolling along the water and enjoying the morning sun before you embark on your journey on the Yellow Line. Stop at Labrador Park, Kent Ridge Park, or Haw Par Villa. Switch to the Green Line and make a stop at Chinese Garden with picturesque pagodas, statues, bridges and plants. You can spend the afternoon here, wandering between the linked islands on Jurong Lake. Still on the Green Line, Tiong Bahru is great for lunch. For more parks, head to Pasir Ris, where you can cycle, ride horses and kids can have fun at a playground. In the evening, switch to the Purple Line to get to Chinatown. Colourful architecture, heritage temples and traditional eateries that serve dim sum and yum cha wait for you here. You can finish your day of exploration by taking the Blue Line to Bayfront, next to the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. Have a drink with a panoramic view of the bay at sunset and enjoy the laser light show.

The River Rönne winds its way through the countryside from Lake Ringsjön to the sea at Ängelholm. This stretch is 85 kilometres long, and you can paddle your way along through almost tropical scenery, and past areas with rich cultural traditions. The peaceful journey is occasionally punctuated with rapids. There are plenty of things to see and do along the way. Some sections are ideal for families with children. You can choose to paddle for a few hours or a few days. One example is the trip from Gunnarödsbron/Stockamöllan to Rögnaröd/Djupadal, which takes around four hours. You can hire canoes and kayaks from various locations, and most hire companies also offer overnight accommodation. Stay in a converted stable or a 17th century cottage. Or why not get a whole bunch of friends together and hire a 20- or 12-man tent. If you want to spend the night in the great outdoors, there are places with shelters, toilets and firewood. For a particularly Swedish summer experience, combine a canoeing trip with hiring a sauna trailer. Take a hot sauna, followed by a dip in the river.
