Founded in the 7th century by St Willibrord, the patron saint of Luxembourg, the Abbey of Echternach contains a fascinating scriptorium — once the most important in Medieval Europe — in its cellar, with manuscripts dating as far back as the 11th century. Part of the abbey complex, the Basilica of Saint Willibrord contains a crypt with the saint's holy remains. A dancing procession that draws visitors from all over the world (Saint Willibrord Pageant) is held in the town annually on Whit Tuesday.

Dedicated to the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman, this impressive palace complex was constructed between the 4th and 8th centuries and then expanded considerably in the 17th. Spread over 5 acres, it contains the Royal Palace and many beautiful temples and courtyards.

Step into the fascinating world of cacti at Jardín de Cactus in Lanzarote, where more than a thousand different types of succulents from various desert and arid regions are on display. Situated in the village of Guatiza, the garden was the last project of renowned artist César Manrique, and his works can be seen throughout the garden. The garden is designed as a large amphitheatre, with terraced arrangements of plants that provide a stunning visual experience. A restored windmill, once used for producing gofio (a sort of Canarian flour), stands at the highest point, further adding to the charm of the place.
