Named after the ruler of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, oftentimes regarded with the rise of Lithuanian consciousness, this is the oldest church in Kaunas, built in 1400 by Franciscan monks. This impressive Gothic landmark by the Neman river (and the bridge bearing the same name) has suffered several floods in the past, and there's a scale by its side that marks the memories of those critical times.

Monkey Beach, also known as Teluk Duyung, is popular for its calm water, fine sand, picnic tables, and a troop of half-tame macaques. It is an attractive destination for a 2-3 hour walk through the tropical woodland of Penang National Park, Taman Negara Pulau Pinang. Be sure to check in at the park office before setting off.

This Roman Catholic church was built to celebrate Lithuanian independence, regained in 1918. A unique landmark in Kaunas not only for its modern functionalist layout, but it is also regarded as the largest basilical church in the Baltic states.

Perched on the rocky edge of Mallorca, Castell d'Alaro is one of the island's most rewarding climbs, recommended by lovers of both history and nature. These ruins are a crumbling castle, several arched stone doors, and wall remnants are all that remains of what was once the fortress of 9th-century Christian warriors. If you're less adventurous, you may drive to the ascent to take in the stunning views over almost the entire island. In case you want to stay overnight, Castell d'Alaró also functions as a guesthouse. There's also a small bar and restaurant where you can recharge your batteries and enjoy a meal with fantastic views.
