The night cruise on the rivers and the four lakes Banyan Lake, Wooden Dragon Lake, Gui Lake and Shahu Lake in Guilin is spectacular. Due to the innovative use of lighting in the gardens and buildings along the lakes, the bridges, buildings and pagodas are beautifully illuminated. Singers and dancers along the shoreline complement this fantastic experience.

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a stunning 30-acre escape in the middle of the city. Stroll through the tropical rainforest inside the Fuqua Conservatory, walk the treetop canopy on the Kendeda Walkway, or check out the ever-changing seasonal displays. If you're visiting in the evening, the garden often hosts special events like Garden Lights, Holiday Nights in the winter.

This cliffside hike is one of the best ways to take in the island, spanning approximately 9 km from Fira to Oia, with Imerovigli and several smaller villages in between. It’s not difficult, but parts of it are steep, rocky, and exposed, so bring water, sturdy shoes, and start early to avoid the midday heat. Expect churches, caldera views, and the occasional detour through quiet paths. It takes around 3–4 hours, depending on pace and photo stops. Ending in Oia means you can reward yourself with dinner and a view—just be ready for the crowds if you hit sunset.

Vibrant, colourful, casual and young at heart, Nørrebro is a magic area of Copenhagen. Here you'll find trendy bars and fashionable designer shops next door to dodgy dive bars and cheap kebab places. If you're into small design shops head for Elmegade or Jægersborggade, and if you like antiques Ravnsborggade is the place for you to head to. At Sankt Hans Torv and the streets around it, you have plenty of choices for dinner and drinks. At Assistens Cemetery, you can visit the graves of famous Danes, such as the famous fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen or philosopher Søren Kierkegaard.
