Picture a serene green oasis in the heart of Bentonville — a 6.5-acre native woodland garden that doubles as a public park and event venue. This peaceful retreat, home to a diverse collection of native plants, is quickly gaining recognition as a regional destination. The park also honors Dr. Neil Compton, a physician and naturalist celebrated for his efforts to preserve the Buffalo National River. In addition to its natural beauty, the site features a conference center ideal for meetings, seminars, retreats, weddings, and more. The woodland garden is also available for tours, events, and even film or commercial photo shoots, making it a versatile space for both relaxation and creativity.

The Museum Embankment (Museumsufer) lines the south bank of the Main River with a string of museums covering everything from fine art and film to architecture, Jewish history and ancient sculpture. Highlights include the Städel Museum with its underground gallery, the German Film Museum, the Museum of Communication and the Jewish Museum. Each August, the embankment hosts the Museum Embankment Festival, one of Europe’s biggest cultural events, with late openings, live music and food stalls along the river.

This lovely street is like an open-air gallery. Its walls are decorated with small objects made of metal, wood and glass as tributes to writers who have influenced Lithuanian literature.

The DomRömer Quarter is Frankfurt’s “new old town”, rebuilt on the spot where the medieval streets once stood. Finished in 2018, it mixes careful reconstructions with new buildings that echo the originals. Wander between the narrow lanes for cafés, small shops and museums, and get a sense of what the city looked like before the war.
