Right next to the famous Red Square sits Moscow's first urban park since half a century. Designed by American architects Diller Scofidio and Renfro and inaugurated in September 2017, this massive piece of land in the heart of the Russian capital is more than just a park, it is a breath of fresh air to the city's landscape and a new meeting place for locals and tourists alike. Take a walk around its 35-acre grounds and visit its multiple attractions including: two amphitheaters, a market, a restaurant, a world-class philharmonic concert hall, an ice cave, and a boomerang-shaped bridge floating over the Moscow River.

This Art Nouveau palace, constructed in the late 19th century, showcases the transformation of Prague into a modern capitalist city. Before its inauguration in 1911, the Czech artistic elite of the time contributed to creating what is today one of Europe's finest Art Nouveau monuments. The building underwent renovation from 1994 to 1997 and now houses the Smetana Hall — a celebrated concert venue — as well as a gallery, beer cellar and bar.

The 55-metre high castle church, made out of sandstone, is the town’s landmark. It was built between 1695 and 1701, and it is considered as one of the best-known baroque-style buildings in the region. Call in advance if you want to book a guided tour, and do not forget to check out the castle itself as well.

The Royal Footsteps Along the Kona Coast Byway covers 700 years of history. The seven-mile stretch of road takes you through the centuries of Hawaii’s Alii, or the ruling class. You will be led past four of Kona's seven “Royal Centers,” which were the sacred locations chosen due to an abundance of natural resources and recreational value. These centers were reserved for the kings and queens of Hawaii. Count among them Hulihee Palace (one of three palaces in the United States), the royal surfing grounds of Kahaluu, Hawaii’s oldest Christian church and several heiau, or sites of sacred Hawaiian temples.
