Hop aboard a mountain gondola and take a ride to the top of Tünektepe, which lies 618 metres above sea level. From there, you can catch stunning views over the Gulf of Antalya, city skyline and peaks of the Taurus range. After a meal at the hotel restaurant up top, hike back down to the city, enjoying fresh mountain air and sea breeze.

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is a Formula One circuit on Notre-Dame Island, which hosts the Canadian Grand Prix each year. Outside race days, the full circuit is open to cyclists, rollerbladers, and pedestrians, offering a rare chance to experience the layout and corners used by F1 drivers.

Plateau Mont-Royal is an iconic residential neighbourhood known for its outdoor staircases, brick Victorian townhouses, independent shops, and strong creative streak. Wander its leafy streets to catch live music, browse small boutiques, or settle into a café that feels like a local living room. Streets like Saint-Denis and Mont-Royal Avenue are lined with record shops, bakeries, bookshops, and bars that fill up quickly in the evenings. Being close to Mount Royal also makes it easy to mix neighbourhood wandering with a walk or picnic on the mountain.

The village of Nuenen is also known as Van Gogh Village, and rightly so. There isn’t a place in the Netherlands where you can tread in the footsteps of this famous painter quite so literally. Here, stories about Van Gogh are still vividly told, his letters are available for reading, and there are no fewer than fourteen locations which have been immortalised by Van Gogh in a picture or a painting. Experiencing Van Gogh’s life in the Netherlands so intensely is not possible anywhere else. “The museum is a gem” In the Vincentre museum you will hear all about Van Gogh and read his own stories about Nuenen, where he lived and worked from 1883 to 1885. Who was he, how did he live, who did he socialise with, and why was he so passionate about Nuenen? It will all become clear during an educational tour with an audio guide in no fewer than eight languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Chinese. In the village itself, no fewer than 23 locations have a direct link with Van Gogh. Together, they form a walking and cycling route with interactive informational signs in Dutch and English. From The Potato Eaters to The Starry Night The Potato Eaters is based on a scene that Van Gogh saw at the house of a peasant family in Nuenen. It literally comes to life in theatre Het Klooster. The world famous designer Daan Roosegaarde designed, based on Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, the now famous and unique Van Gogh-Roosegaarde cycle path, for which thousands of twinkling stones were incorporated in the asphalt. This cycle path, between Nuenen and the nearby city of Eindhoven, is part of the Van Gogh Cycle Route. Heritage locations in Brabant This cycle route connects the five Van Gogh heritage locations in Brabant, which of course include Nuenen. You won’t get any closer to Van Gogh than this. Or, as one of our enthusiastic guests wrote about Nuenen: “The same view that Van Gogh had!” Come and experience the place in which Van Gogh was inspired by the rural Brabant countryside, easily accessible at no more than ten kilometres away from Eindhoven, city of technology and design.
