Just 2 km off the coast of Fuerteventura, Isla de Lobos is an untouched gem, home to a sprawling nature sanctuary teeming with an array of flora and fauna, including rare birds. Its main beach, Playa de la Concha, is known for its pristine waters. Trails cross a landscape of salt marshes and hornitos (small volcanic mounds) leading to the volcanic marvel of Montaña La Caldera and the historic Martiño lighthouse.

The 17th century St Paul's Cathedral on Ludgate Hill is one of the capital's most iconic buildings. Designed by the illustrious Sir Christopher Wren, St Paul's was the tallest building in London until as late as 1962. Use the touchscreen multimedia guides or take a guided tour to learn about the famous interior or, if you're feeling fit, climb up to the Whispering Gallery and try out the acoustics. From there you can carry on making your way up to the Golden Gallery atop the dome, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of London. You can also descend into the crypt where you'll find memorials of important historical figures such as Admiral Lord Nelson.

The famous Whitehaven Beach with its white silica sand rests just a mere 20-minute boat ride from Hamilton Island. This place is so stunning the BBC voted it the number one beach to include in your bucket list. Note that you can get there only by booking a tour with a company, for instance Cruise Withsundays, which organises trips to Whitehaven Beach almost daily.
