These lavish gardens were constructed in 1694 as a residential retreat for Mitsutomo, the second Lord of the Owari clan. Sadly, however, most of the garden and its buildings were destroyed during World War II. The restoration took a long time, with the garden being finally opened as a public park in 2004. If time permits, visit the adjacent Tokugawa Art Museum, the third oldest private museum in Japan, which miraculously survived the World War II air raids.

Rosslyn Chapel, founded in 1446 as the Collegiate Church of St Matthew, is a masterpiece of stone carving shrouded in mystery. Its interior is a dense tapestry of carved symbols, where biblical scenes, naturalistic figures and enigmatic patterns cover almost every surface. The chapel's 40-year construction period yielded this unique and ornate stonework, which has inspired countless myths and legends. This fascination was only amplified by its feature in “The Da Vinci Code”. After exploring the intricate carvings and their intriguing tales, extend your visit with a peaceful walk through the adjacent Roslin Glen Country Park.

Walking through the Historic Centre of Partenkirchen, each step leads you further into long ago times. Follow the tracks of the fresco painter Heinrich Bickel who decorated the „Fraundorfer“ Inn at Ludwigstraße with a gorgeous typical country wedding. Nearby, you will also find the local Werdenfels Museum. Miraculously, the former merchant’s building was not impaired by the Big Blaze of 1865. Nowadays, history and ancient customs of the Werdenfels Region are exhibited in the five-storyed house.

Real Madrid may be the biggest and most successful club in the city, but it certainly doesn’t stand unchallenged. Just across town lies an uncomfortable neighbour that constantly pushes back against its dominance. When these two sides meet, Madrid comes alive, divided in passion, pride, and colour. It’s one of Spain’s most electrifying derbies. If your heart leans more towards David than Goliath, you’ll probably find yourself cheering for Atlético de Madrid. Known affectionately as 'El Atleti', the club offers an impressive museum and stadium tour located within the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano, their proud home ground. You will be guided, in both English and Spanish, through the club’s trophy hall, the stadium itself, and a range of interactive exhibits that bring Atleti’s story to life. Before you leave, stop by the official shop to pick up a jersey or souvenir.
