Your visit to Utrecht won't be complete without the iconic Dom Tower in your itinerary. Dating back to 1382, this monumental Gothic tower is visible from across the city, hence it stands as Utrecht's symbol and a must-visit attraction. Soaring to a height of 112 metres, it holds the distinction of being both the tallest structure in Utrecht and the tallest church tower in the Netherlands. The tower was originally connected to the Dom Church; however, after collapsing in 1674 due to a summer storm, both tower and church were rebuilt separately. Currently, there are various guided tour options available at the ticket shop.

This majestic mausoleum dedicated to the 'Father of Modern Tunisia' Habib Bourguiba is decked out from top to bottom with white marble and decorative touches of emerald green, making it gleam in the hot sun of Monastir. The two towers poised on either side of the entrance to the tomb resemble the minarets of a typical Maghreb mosque. Indeed, most of the architecture that was designed by French architect Olivier Clement Cacoub bears a strong resemblance to traditional Islamic places of worship. Inside the mausoleum lies the Tunisian president of the 1960s, encased in an ornate marble sarcophagus which can be viewed up close on the ground floor or from above by accessing the balcony through an unassuming door to the right of the main entrance. Although it is free to enter the mausoleum, some may prefer to gain further insight into the history of the building by booking a tour from one of the licensed tour operators in the main city. It is inadvisable to hire the services of those guides operating within or beside the grounds of the mausoleum as most are unqualified. Opening times may vary and if the main entrance is closed, visitors can enter through a separate entrance on the other side of the building.
