Derry

Set on the banks of the River Foyle in Northern Ireland, Derry (officially Londonderry) is one of Europe's best-preserved walled cities. The Bogside murals and Free Derry Corner stand as records of The Troubles, and the "Hands Across the Divide" monument marks the city's hard-won steps towards peace. Named UK City of Culture in 2013, Derry has earned a reputation for great food, live music and a thriving arts scene. The rugged Causeway Coast, a UNESCO-listed stretch of dramatic basalt columns, is just a short drive away.

Cartagena

Cartagena de Indias reigns as the crown jewel of Colombia’s Caribbean coast — not for checklist attractions, but for its sheer atmospheric magic. Within its 16th-century stone walls (built to repel pirates like Sir Francis Drake), the city unfurls as a living postcard: pastel-hued colonial buildings, salsa rhythms spilling onto cobbled streets, and horse-drawn carriages clattering past vibrant plazas. By day, the scent of fried plantains and coconut rice fills the air; by night, rooftop bars hum with rum cocktails and sea breezes.

Wroclaw

The streets of Wroclaw's old town are a colourful mosaic of architectural styles, with the magnificent market square as its crown jewel. A lively multicultural centre, the city is home to a thriving student community and acts as the cultural, gastronomical, and commercial hub of the region, hosting many musical and theatrical events, a wide array of restaurants and bars and eclectic shopping. Back in 2016, Wroclaw was named European Capital of Culture and World Book Capital.

Mojácar

Beautiful horizons await you in Mojacar. From the cluster of white houses, clinging to the very end of the Sierra de Cabrera foothills, to the warren of narrow streets, every corner of this quaint Spanish town is as captivating as the last.

Le Cap d'Agde Méditerranée, France

Autumn and winter colours

Discover the destination with all the gorgeous colours of autumn, it is also a place worth discovering.

Melbourne

Melbourne is an artistic powerhouse with a vibrant and multicultural soul. Nicknamed "Paris of the southern hemisphere", Melbourne is not only known to be Australia’s cultural hotspot, but is also famous for its major sporting events and its culinary delights from all across the world. With its high-rise city centre and far-reaching suburbs, it is hard not to be dragged in by the life of the capital of Victoria, but day trips to the wild nature of the state are also extremely attractive.

Luang Prabang

Nestled amidst the mountains of northern Laos, Luang Prabang is a strong contender for the title of Southeast Asia's best-kept secret. Here, in the heart of the country, life moves in sync with the sun and nature, in a beautiful symbiosis of old and new. With its unspoilt natural wonders and golden temples glistening in the sun, Laos’ former royal capital has emerged as one of the most captivating and enchanting destinations in Southeast Asia. Little wonder that it draws in more than a million visitors each year.

Växjö

Växjö is the very heart of southeast Sweden – in the middle of Småland, in the middle of southern Sweden. There is a lot to see, experience and do here – unique shops and world-class restaurants. A thriving culture and art programme, an intimate café culture and several award-winning culinary eating-houses. If you would like to experience genuine Småland nature, take one of the many cycle and footpaths straight out into the forests! A kingdom of crystal is just around the corner, as is the kingdom of furniture. Welcome!
