The Teleférico — Madrid's cable car — is a comfortable way of seeing most of the major sights while sitting down, provided you're not afraid of heights. This cable car was first built as part of an amusement park, and at places, it reaches a height of about 40 metres above the ground. The ride takes ten minutes and once you've reached the destination Casa de Campo Park, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the city, as well as grab some food at the restaurant.

In the southwest corner of the Mellah, and past the Habarim Synagogue, Ibn Danan is an intimate synagogue with a fascinating atmosphere and a traditional ritual bath in the basement. Head here for getting an authentic feeling of religious experience.

This family fun-park is also home to the famous Ettamogah Pub and to heaps of aboriginal artifacts. Favourite rides include the water ride Plunge, the water play area Leak’n Logs, the thrill ride Redback and the Giant Slide.

Dashilan used to be the busiest suburban commercial area, and one of those most steeped in history. This traditional market is kept as it once was; some of the longest-standing brand boutiques started here, as well as the very first cinema in Beijing - and all of them are still running. Dashilan represents the other side of Beijing. It shows you that this city is not only about royal families but also about regular residents who lived outside the palace. This place breathes vitality of daily life. This is also the main exhibition spot of Beijing International Design Week, making for a unique chemistry between the area's traditional vibe and modern art and design exhibits.
