Indian Canyons is a true desert gem—an oasis tucked right in the rocky hills just outside Palm Springs. This land, home to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, is rich with history and natural beauty, offering trails lined with California fan palms, trickling streams, and seasonal waterfalls that reach their peak flow in the cooler months. A can’t-miss here is the easy-going 1-mile hike along Palm Canyon, a scenic trail that winds through one of North America's largest palm oases. Walk at your own pace under the towering palms, where sunlight streams through the leaves and creates a natural canopy—miles away from the desert heat and noise. At the trail’s end, you’ll find a small trading post where you can rest, grab a cold drink or hot coffee, and take in the views from under the palms.

The Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour offers an easy way of getting around Gothenburg and exploring the city at your leisure. It combines the structure of a guided tour but the freedom and flexibility of independent travel. You'll have unlimited access to the bus for over 24 hours. So, you can stop wherever you like along the route. Enjoy the views while learning about the city's history from the onboard commentary.

Towering over the Haga neighbourhood, in central Gothenburg's southern part, you can find one of the city's two remaining forts. It was built in 1698 to protect Gothenburg from possible Danish attacks, which fortunately never happened. Although there is no access inside the fort, it's still worth your time since the view over the city is spectacular from the hill where it's beautifully located.
