Established in 1986 to commemorate Coronado's centennial, Centennial Park is a charming waterfront spot offering panoramic views of the San Diego skyline. Once the docking site for ferries transporting cars and passengers before the Coronado Bridge opened in 1969, the park retains historical elements like the old ferry toll booth. Today, it’s a peaceful escape with lush lawns, colorful flower beds, and plenty of benches for relaxing or enjoying a picnic. Plus, it’s just steps from the Coronado Ferry Landing, making it an easy stop if you’re checking out the local shops and restaurants.

For brave souls seeking the world’s most exhilarating swim, Devil’s Pool delivers an unforgettable adrenaline rush. This natural rock pool, sculpted by millennia of erosion, sits precisely on the precipice of Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi’s waters cascade 100 metres into the gorge below. Accessible only during the dry season (typically mid-August to mid-January), the experience begins with a boat ride to Livingstone Island — the very spot where explorer David Livingstone first laid eyes on the falls in 1855. The adventure continues as visitors wade and swim through gentle currents, guided by experts to the pool’s edge. Here, a submerged rock lip creates a natural barrier, allowing swimmers to peer safely over the thunderous drop while the river’s force swirls around them. In the driest months (October-November), some may walk across exposed rocks to reach the pool, though a guide remains mandatory. While the sight of bathers lounging at the waterfall’s brink makes for iconic photos, the reality is even more breathtaking. As over 500 million litres of water plunge past each minute, the pool’s deceptive calm contrasts with the roaring abyss just beyond your fingertips. Five daily tours depart for this once-in-a-lifetime experience, though nature dictates the schedule — high waters from March to May render the pool inaccessible. For those who dare, Devil’s Pool offers not just a swim, but a visceral connection to the raw power of Africa’s greatest waterfall.

To get into this national park, foreigners must pay a toll fee. This place sits magically on the top of mountains that have been used to build the temples of Angkor Wat. The water running from the beautiful waterfall is said to be holy and locals often bring a bottle of it with them home.

Towering over the Haga neighbourhood, in central Gothenburg's southern part, you can find one of the city's two remaining forts. It was built in 1698 to protect Gothenburg from possible Danish attacks, which fortunately never happened. Although there is no access inside the fort, it's still worth your time since the view over the city is spectacular from the hill where it's beautifully located.
