Craigievar Castle looks like it was taken straight out of a fairy tale. Completed in 1626, it stands as a fine example of Scottish Baronial architecture, and both interior and exterior are jaw-dropping in their beauty, attention to detail and lavishness.

Despite its name meaning 'New Bridge', Pont Neuf is actually Paris’s oldest bridge over the Seine, dating back to the 16th century. It’s also a great starting point to explore some of the city’s most famous sights. From here, you can easily wander around Île de la Cité to visit the Conciergerie, the old royal palace turned prison, and the stunning Sainte-Chapelle with its incredible stained glass windows. Just across the river lies the Louvre Museum, while a short walk takes you to the peaceful Place Dauphine, a hidden gem of a square. And, of course, the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral is also close by.

Toted as the surf capital of Ireland, make sure to catch some waves at Bundoran's surfing classes and rentals. Beginners should stick to the beach of Rossnowlagh, while seasoned surfers should make their way to the world-class waves at The Peak.

As the city's oldest ‘suburb,’ Haga stands as a small town in its own right, offering a nostalgic and enchanting experience for visitors. Strolling through Haga's narrow, cobbled streets evokes a sense of time travel, transporting you back at least a hundred years. Its traditional wooden buildings house a plethora of cosy cafés, pubs, and quaint shops, where you can peruse books, crafts, and locally-made knitwear. Haga is also home to the magnificent 17th-century fortress Skansen Kronan, which offers panoramic views of the city.
