Malaga’s coastline runs right along the city, so you don’t need to go far for a swim. The main stretch starts near the port along the Paseo de Pablo Ruiz Picasso. La Malagueta is the most central beach — about 10 minutes from the Old Town — with dark sand, showers, toilets, and sunbeds for hire. You’ll spot the big Malagueta sign where everyone stops for photos. The beach is lined with chiringuitos, casual seafood spots where you can try grilled sardines (espetos) cooked over open fire. La Caleta, just a bit further east, is quieter but has the same setup — clean, calm water, and easy access.

A colourful glass cube by the port marks the only Pompidou outside France. Inside, there’s a mix of modern and contemporary art from the main collection in Paris, with rotating exhibits and some permanent works. Expect big names like Frida Kahlo (The Frame is here), plus a few thematic sections covering identity, the body, politics, and more.

Leipzig's Museum of Fine Arts showcases an extensive collection from the Late Middle Ages to modern times, featuring 3,500 paintings and 1,000 sculptures. Highlights include works by Old Masters like Frans Hals and contemporary artists such as Neo Rauch and Daniel Richter. The museum's modern architecture complements its diverse artistic offerings, making it a key cultural destination.

The stars of the Chongqing Zoo are definitely the Giant Pandas. This zoo does not only serve as an important base for protection and research of wild animals like Tibetan bears, tigers, hippos, monkeys and birds, but also provides a beautiful and comfortable setting for you to experience the wildlife.
