Daikin Park is home to the Houston Astros and one of the most unique ballparks in Major League Baseball. If you’re in town during baseball season, catching a game here is a great way to experience Houston’s energy. And from the upper decks, you’ll get a great view of the downtown skyline.

Gränna and Visingsö are unmissable destinations offering enchanting views, manor houses, cobbled roads, bicycle rides, idyllic wooden cabins, castle ruins, paths, and oak forests. Gränna, founded by Count Per Brahe the Younger in 1652, boasts the Grenna Museum, where you can delve into the fascinating history of S.A. Andrée's adventurous balloon voyage over the North Pole in 1897. Be sure to try the town's sweet signature, the peppermint rock, originally red and white, now available in an array of flavours. Just a 30-minute boat ride away, Visingsö beckons as an ideal day trip with its captivating attractions, including the ruined Näs Castle, Sweden's first royal residence. Explore the island on foot, embark on a special horse-drawn carriage (known as a remmalag), or enjoy a leisurely bicycle ride, all while taking in the picturesque surroundings.

Dubai may be famous for the glitz and glamour of its sky-high towers, but the heart of the city is the creek. This saltwater estuary was where the Bani Yas tribe first settled, and its waters supported the city’s early economy through pearl diving and fishing. Today, the area blends history with culture: you’ll find museums, heritage retail spaces, and the winding alleyways of the gold, spice, and textile souks. A ride on a traditional abra across the water is a must, offering a simple yet memorable way to see the creek from the water.

A ride on a traditional wooden abra from Bur Dubai Abra Dock is one of the most atmospheric ways to cross the creek. The short hop takes you to the Deira side, where the narrow lanes buzz with spice stalls, sweet shops, textiles, and the famous gold souk — a lively contrast to the quieter Al Fahidi neighbourhood just across the water.
