Khaosan Road, the bustling heart of Bangkok, is an unmissable destination for travellers seeking a vibrant and eclectic experience. By day, this iconic street exudes a relatively laid-back atmosphere. As the sun sets, the area morphs into a lively hub of nightlife, with pulsating music from bars and clubs, street performers showcasing their talents, and tantalising street food stalls offering everything from Pad Thai to exotic insects. Khaosan Road is also an excellent starting point for exploring Bangkok's rich history and culture, with key attractions like the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, and Wat Pho within easy reach. In addition, it serves as a gateway to a variety of travel services, including affordable accommodation, and tours across Thailand and neighbouring countries.

The historic forts of Al Jalali and Mirani date back to the 16th century, and (although closed for entry to the general public) define the cityscape of the Omani capital. The forts were formerly used as defence fortresses and were constructed by the Portuguese during the colonial period. Come at sundown to capture the best views.

If you are looking for a night filled with high-quality entertainment, visit the Semperoper, the opera house of Dresden. You will not only be charmed by the performance of the actors, but also by the beautiful Neo-Renaissance style. The opera house even premiered the famous works of Wagner and Strauss.
