Bačvice is the closest beach to downtown Split and, though it gets extremely crowded over summer, is a delightful spot to relax under the hot sun. Hide from the heat and rehydrate at any of the numerous quaint cafes frequented by locals playing picigin, a ball game that sees its origin here in Split.

Solely dedicated to Egyptian Art, this museum is second only to the one located in Cairo. The wide collection here housed is the result of years of expeditions. Indeed in the past the artefacts used to be shared between the country where they were found and the researchers. Let yourself be amazed by this trip to one of the most mystic ages of history.

For car enthusiasts, the first stop in Detroit must be the Henry Ford Museum. A company which started in a converted Detroit wagon shop with 10 employees in 1903, has now grown into the second-largest car and truck maker in the world, with a rather significant increase in employees – over 370,000 people now work for the Ford Motor Company world-wide. Started as Henry Ford's personal collection, this museum boasts memorabilia such as the limo in which John F. Kennedy was shot as well as pop culture items, automobiles, locomotives and aircraft.
