In the days of the tsars, the people who enjoyed themselves in the Riviera’s casinos until late on Saturday night, were not exactly short of money. They went here, to church though, on Sundays. After the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, things are much as they were in the old days, but thick wads of dollars now rain down on the Riviera — and the beautifully restored cathedral. Strict dress code applies.

Situated in the former Santo André Convent, this eccentric museum features a variety of artefacts from Azorean Natural History (zoology, botanic, geology, mineralogy). As well as this, it is home to a jaw-dropping sacristy, sacred art and sculpture collection.

Located in neighbouring Botswana, Chobe National Park stands as a true wildlife paradise, offering unparalleled opportunities to observe magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. You can marvel at elephants, giraffes, lions, warthogs, hippopotamus, impala, baboons, kudu, waterbuck and numerous other species roaming freely across the landscape. For the most enriching experience, hiring a professional tour agency with expert guides is highly recommended, as their in-depth knowledge brings the park's ecosystem to life. Alternatively, adventurous travellers may opt to explore independently in a sturdy 4x4 vehicle. The David Livingstone Safari Lodge & Spa provides convenient options for those visiting from Zambia, offering both day excursions and extended safari packages with accommodation included.
