The Aachen Town Hall, a distinctive example Gothic architecture, is a historic symbol of the city's rich past. Originally built in the 14th century on the ruins of Charlemagne's palace, this iconic building has witnessed numerous coronations and remains a testament to Aachen's medieval grandeur. Today, it serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into its regal history.

Smaller and less detailed than the Prehistoric Museum, this one focuses more on sculptures, pottery, and artefacts from the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It’s right in Fira, so easy to drop into if you're nearby, but it’s best paired with the Prehistoric Museum to get the full picture of Santorini’s ancient past.

First held in 1991, the Qingdao International Beer Festival has grown into Asia’s largest beer event. Every August, starting on the second Sunday of the month, the festival kicks off and runs for 16 days in the city’s Shilaoren National Tourism Resort. This sprawling 35-hectare 'Beer City' is built specifically for the occasion, where beer lovers from all over the world come together. While you can always grab a Tsingtao Beer in Qingdao, nothing compares to the carnival buzz of the festival. Expect a fun mix of live music, international brews, and plenty of opportunities to sample the local favourite—Tsingtao Beer, of course. One quirky Qingdao tradition to note: fresh beer is often sold in plastic bags. So, don’t be surprised when you see people strolling the streets with a bag of beer in hand. It's all part of the fun.
