Originally built as a church to house the reliquary of Saint Genevieve, this neoclassical building in the Latin Quarter, modelled after the Pantheon in Rome, is the final resting place of numerous writers, philosophers, poets and scientists, such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Émile Zola, and Marie Curie.

Gamla Stan, Stockholm's historic Old Town, is a fascinating district that transports visitors back in time with its cobblestone streets, medieval architecture, and rich cultural heritage. Strolling through Gamla Stan's narrow alleyways, you'll come across a treasure trove of well-preserved buildings, including the iconic Royal Palace and the renowned Storkyrkan Cathedral. The neighbourhood's charming squares, such as Stortorget and Järntorget, are adorned with colourful facades and brimming with cosy cafés, traditional restaurants, and charming shops. Gamla Stan also offers an array of museums and cultural attractions.

The Centre Pompidou stands out with its bold, high-tech design — pipes and escalators on the outside make it hard to miss. Inside, you’ll find Europe’s largest modern art museum, a big public library, and a hub for music and sound research. When it was built, many Parisians hated it for clashing with the classic city vibe, and its construction meant knocking down the famous Les Halles market nearby. Now, it’s a lively spot for art lovers and anyone curious about something a bit different.
