Ada Ciganlija, Belgrade's most renowned summer resort, has transformed from an island to a peninsula, becoming the city's largest and most picturesque recreational spot. The Savsko lake is encircled by over 7 km of Blue Flag-awarded beaches, offering myriad ways to enjoy hot summer days. In summer, Ada Ciganlija turns into a bustling hub, attracting over 100,000 visitors daily (up to 300,000 on weekends) for swimming, sports, or leisurely afternoons in beachside cafés. In contrast, autumn and winter bring a quieter atmosphere, with a scenic promenade lined by cafés and nightclubs, although the lake's ice is too thin for skating. With more than 50 open-air sports facilities, including a golf course and cable-ski circuit, as well as courts and pitches for various sports and extreme activities like bungee-jumping and paintball, there's no shortage of action. The area's restaurants offer traditional city fare, particularly fish specialities, while bars and floating river clubs provide vibrant nightlife.

There are two waterfalls in the vicinity of Nha Trang, both of which make for excellent excursions into nature. Ba Ho Falls, at a distance of roughly 30km north of central Nha Trang, are the falls that attract most visitors. You will need a ride to reach the entrance to the natural area (get a taxi or Grab). Bring swimwear, sturdy shoes (not flip-flops), and your own water. Note that water volumes may vary dramatically depending on whether you visit during or outside the dry season (January through August). Another option is Fairy Spring Waterfalls (Suối Tiên), mostly favoured by local youth. These are much smaller compared to Ba Ho, but there is still an opening fit for swimming. There is a small admission fee to visit both falls.

Duthir Park is one of the best loved parks in Aberdeen, housing one of the largest covered gardens in Europe. Exotic plants and flowers from both tropical and arid climates can be admired at the Winter Garden, including Britain's largest collection of cacti. Additionally, just outside the covered gardens there is a lovely Japanese garden that commemorates the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
