This township is a must for anyone visiting the city of Johannesburg. Major sights include Vilakasi Street, where the Mandelas once lived — their little house is now a museum. Check out Archbishop Tutu's home, the Hector Pieterson Museum, dedicated to the 1976 student uprisings, and Regina Mundi church, which also bears its resistance scars. Eat at Sakhumzi’s, the Italian-style Nambitha, or trendy Wandi’s Place. An overnight stay in one of the excellent B&Bs could prove the highlight of your trip.

Few places evoke the spirit of the Scottish highlands as poignantly as Dunnottar Castle, a ruined fortress perched atop rugged rocky cliffs overlooking the North Sea, just 3 kilometres away from the town of Stonehaven. The buildings that remain date from the 15th and 16th centuries, and the combination of ruins and setting make for a memorable feeling and experience.

The Northwest Arkansas Razorback Regional Greenway — often simply called the Razorback — is a 40-mile, mostly off-road trail designed for cyclists, runners, and walkers. Opened in 2015, this shared-use path connects Walker Park in Fayetteville to Lake Bella Vista in Bella Vista, passing schools, businesses, and cultural attractions along the way. The route begins at the Veterans Wall of Honor in Bella Vista and ends at Walker Park in Fayetteville, with numerous trailheads and stops to explore. Whether you’re commuting, exercising, or simply enjoying the scenery, the Greenway offers a seamless way to experience Northwest Arkansas.

A well-preserved example of its kind, Greenwood Great House is a plantation house built by the wealthy Barrett family in the 18th century less than 8 miles away from Falmouth. Spared by the slave rebellion in 1831, the house’s rooms are still in intact condition and contain original furniture and artifacts — including unique collections of books and musical instruments — that are bound to transport you back in time.
