A day trip from Madrid offers the perfect excuse to step back in time, and few places capture Spain’s medieval legacy quite like Ávila and Salamanca, both proudly listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Your adventure begins in Ávila, a walled city that appears lifted straight from the pages of a history book. Its imposing stone ramparts, punctuated by 88 defensive towers, encircle a beautifully preserved old town. Step inside and you’ll find Romanesque gems such as the Ávila Cathedral, part fortress and part place of worship, as well as the Basilica of San Vicente, famed for its architecture and colourful stonework. Ávila sits just over 100 kilometres from Madrid, and you can easily reach it by train or coach, both options run frequently throughout the day. From Ávila, continue west to the golden-hued city of Salamanca, home to one of Europe’s oldest universities. Its nickname, La Dorada, The Golden City, comes from the glow of its sandstone buildings, especially beautiful at sunset. Wander across the Plaza Mayor, often hailed as Spain’s finest square, then lose yourself among the cloisters, libraries and carvings of the historic university quarter. While Salamanca is delightful by day, it truly comes alive at night, its tapas bars and buzzing student energy make it tempting to extend your stay beyond a day trip.

Adventure World is a great amusement park for the whole family. With 7 man-made lakes, thrilling rides, wild water action, waterslides, water jet guns, smoking volcanos and unique attractions you will find yourself busy at this park. There are restaurants around the area or you can bring your own food. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with lots of large grassed areas. Good facilities, including a licensed bar.

The Gardens by the Bay are among the world's most spectacular urban developments. The spectacular park also offers numerous benefits to the environment. Gigantic 'Super-trees' house 158,000 plants that help offset some of the city’s carbon emissions. They also collect rainwater into reservoirs that are used to water the rest of the park. Some of the Super-trees are equipped with solar panels.

Perth’s main attraction is located where Perth meets the Swan River. The 82.5-metre-high Clock Tower, made of copper and glass, contains eighteen bells and is surrounded by a laid trail of ceramic tiles. Enjoy the view, learn about Perth's history and geography and perhaps leave a "love lock" on one of the railings.
