This unique boulevard of cultural institutions comprises first-class museums presenting everything from applied arts, film and architecture to art, Jewish history and ancient sculptures. Famous architects such as Richard Meier and O.M. Ungers were involved in the construction and expansion of many of the architectonic gems on display. A few examples are the fine art Städel Museum with its underground exhibition spaces, the German Film Museum, the Communication Museum and the Jewish Museum. The Museum Embankment Festival, one of Europe's largest cultural festivals, takes place every year at the last weekend in August.

Trove Gallery is open daily to display contemporary paintings, sculpture, art glass, and wood. Both local Utah artists and national artists are featured.

Espiritu Santo, the largest island in the country and only an hour away by plane from Port Vila, is an unspoiled and popular place for snorkelling, diving, and even just for its relaxing deserted beaches. There are also many World War II sites such as the Million Dollar Point, where the Americans dumped all their hardware into the ocean after the war, crashed B17 bombers, the destroyer USS 'Tucker' and Santo’s most famous attraction – the 22 000 ton SS 'President Coolidge' that sank and now is the world’s largest accessible wreck diving experience, attracting divers from all over the world.
