At the summit of this 15th-century castle lies the world-famous Blarney Stone. Legend has it that those who kiss the stone will receive "The Gift of the Gab" — eloquence and charm. The lesser-known Poison Garden features a collection of deadly and dangerous plants from around the world, while the Rock Close and numerous outdoor statues and artworks inspire a broader view of history. You'll also stumble upon a fern garden with the atmosphere of a tropical jungle deep in the woods. The castle is a short bus journey or drive from Cork City and one of Ireland's most iconic landmarks.

The Struve Geodetic Arc is a chain of survey triangulation points that stretch from Hammerfest in Norway all the way to the Black Sea. The imaginary lines go through ten countries and over 2,820 kilometres. Carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, this survey represented the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian, helping establish the exact size and shape of the planet. Sweden has seven measurement points and four of them are on the World Heritage List (on the mountains Tynnyrilaki, Jupukka, Pullinki, and Perävaara). The mountaintop unveils an expansive view.

Piazza Galimberti was named after the Italian Resistance hero, Tancredi (Duccio) Galimberti in 1945. On the walls here one can see the tablet with the famous quotes from Galimberti. The square took 50 years to build in its neoclassical style. It is one of the most beautiful places in Italy and also a great source of pride for Cuneo where a number of events takes place each year. It also features as an outdoor market.

Swimming, sunning, relaxing, and, perhaps, playing next to a beautiful inland lake is what many people dream of on a beautiful summer's day. In the surroundings of Vimmerby, there are lots of small lakes ideal for swimming and fishing. At several of these lakes, the local council has set up leisure areas with sandy beaches and jetties.
