Ciutadella de Menorca is a small town and the cultural rival of Mahón. Take a stroll along the canal-like harbour and dine on fresh lobster in one of the waterside restaurants, before checking out British colonial ruins.

Firstly constructed in the 14th century, Jiming Temple has gone through quite a few renovations over time (what we can see now was mostly reconstructed in the 1980s). It remains the most attended temple by worshippers in the region to-date. In spring, the blooming of sakura along the path dyes the temple into pink and attracts great numbers of visitors.

Often found on postcards of The Hague, the three windmills of Leidschendam are a short bike ride out from the city centre and worth a visit to experience the emblematic Dutch countryside. Several picturesque bike routes take you past typical farms and even a petting zoo, where you may come across some friendly highland cows en route. Alternatively, there is also a tram that leaves from The Hague's city centre and arrives less than half an hour later in Leidschendam where you can experience a more traditional Dutch lifestyle away from the bustle of the city.

Brixton's Electric Avenue got its name for being the first market street in London to be lit with electric lights. Today, the avenue is a diverse and eclectic food market, mostly specialising in African and Caribbean cuisine. Apart from the food, the area attracts bargain hunters in search of cameras, audio equipment, all manner of household goods, hair and beauty products and services, wigs, fishmongers, butchers, bakers, fruit and flower shops — you name it. Brixton Village is a covered arcaded area of the market that brims with quirky shops, fruit and vegetable stands, and a plethora of cafés and restaurants. Brixton Academy is an iconic venue that hosts some of the biggest rock and pop acts in the world. The venue was originally opened as a theatre and cinema called the Astoria, but has since evolved into a concert venue: Madonna, Sex Pistols and The Smiths have all performed here.
