Hamburg has numerous grand churches, but there's only one 'Michel'. From its platform, over 100 metres high, you'll be treated to a fabulous view of Hamburg, the port, and the surrounding countryside — a must-see! St Michael's Church has been rebuilt twice and now presents an informative exhibition on its history, which is filled with twists and turns.

The city is famous for its religious diversity, with adherents of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Islam and Judaism coexisting here for centuries. This is why Sarajevo is at times referred to as "Jerusalem of the Balkans", or "Jerusalem of Europe". Mosques, synagogues and cathedrals crowd the city.

The fortress of Antimachia sits on top of a small hill in the village of Antimachia, offering amazing coastal views. Inside you will find two Venetian churches known as Agios Nikolaos, 16th century, and Agia Paraskevi, 18th century.

Nessebar, a city-museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is another marvellous day trip from Burgas, located just 35 kilometres away. This ancient town, often called the "Pearl of the Black Sea", sits on a small peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway, offering stunning sea views on both sides. Its cobblestone streets wind through a historic centre filled with over a millennium of architectural treasures, including the Church of St. Sofia, a 5th-century basilica, and other medieval churches like St. John the Baptist and St. Stephen. The Old Town, a maze of narrow lanes and 18th-century houses, invites leisurely exploration, with artisan shops and street vendors adding to its charm. Nessebar was once a Thracian settlement and later a Greek colony, playing a key role in the development of trade and culture in the Black Sea region. Its unique blend of ancient ruins, Byzantine churches, and a lively atmosphere makes it a captivating destination for history enthusiasts and casual vacationers.
