The Kuwait Towers are a defining national symbol, their distinctive blue-green sequined spheres rising prominently on the city's coastline. The main tower features a viewing sphere 120 metres above the ground, providing a 360-degree panorama of Kuwait City and the Persian Gulf. The complex also houses a revolving restaurant and a café. A visit offers both a striking architectural sight and an unparalleled perspective of the city, with the entry fee to the viewing deck waived for restaurant guests.

The Al Hashemi Marine Museum is a unique tribute to Kuwait's seafaring heritage, centred around the monumental Al-Hashemi-II. Recognised by the Guinness World Records as the largest wooden dhow ever built, this colossal, land-based ship is the museum's primary exhibit. While the vessel itself now serves as a banquet hall, its sheer scale offers a powerful impression of traditional shipbuilding. The surrounding museum complex displays intricate dhow models and maritime artefacts, creating a compelling destination for understanding the nation's deep-rooted connection to the sea.

Housed in a historic building, The Cinema Museum holds Spain’s first and most significant collection of cinematic history, thanks to the visionary Tomàs Mallol. Acquired by the city in 1994, his private collection forms the core of this public museum. It traces over 400 years of visual storytelling through 25,000 artefacts — from magic lanterns and zoetropes to early cameras and projectors — making it one of Europe’s most comprehensive archives on pre-cinema and early film. Beyond the permanent exhibition, the museum hosts temporary shows, educational workshops, and a specialised library. While some displays are labelled primarily in Catalan and Spanish, introductory materials are available in English, French and German.
