Witnessing the age-old craft of leather treatment at the Bab Debbagh tanneries is a fascinating experience. Situated near a river for water supply, these tanneries have been operating for centuries. The distinctive odour, resulting from ammonia used in the leather-softening process, will let you know you've arrived. Unlike some other Moroccan tanneries, the focus here is on treating leather in its natural state; the dyeing happens elsewhere. Visiting the site can be a bit tricky due to the presence of unofficial 'guides' demanding payment. If you prefer a hassle-free experience, consider hiring a certified guide as part of a medina tour. Otherwise, prepare to navigate past these unofficial attendants by offering a small tip and insisting on entering without their assistance.

Landlubbers will have plenty to choose from in the form of the Shannon Waterway Walks. 1: The Medieval Limerick Walking Trail weaves its way through the medieval quarter of the city, passing Anglo-Norman influenced buildings all the way. 2. The Lough Derg Way, where old whiskey stills and idyllic views of Youghal Bay are just some of the highlights. 3. Glenafelly Eco Walk is a perfect opportunity to lose yourself in the country's natural beauty.

Olbia is the hub for excursions to the northeast and its fabled coast. Buses leave just off the Corso Umberto I in all directions, all within easy reach for just a few euros. The town beach is the Lido del Sole, but far better is the white beach of Pittulongu, located 5 kilometres away, with its dreamy views across to Tavolara Island.

You’ve probably seen Kelingking Beach plastered all over Bali ads and Instagram—and there’s a reason for that. This Nusa Penida spot, approximately a 40-minute boat ride from Bali, is renowned for its T-Rex-shaped cliff and the breathtaking views it offers. The beach below is gorgeous, with white sand and turquoise water, but getting there means tackling a steep trail. It gets quite busy, especially midday, but still one of those places you don’t want to skip.
