The standout feature of the town of Saluzzo's modest but enchanting skyline, the Torre Civica looks stunning against the backdrop of the snow-covered Alps. The 15th-century tower can be climbed via a claustrophobic staircase, revealing a breathtaking view of the city below.

In case there wasn't enough to do in Monastir, the next port up has plenty to offer in the way of rare archaeological finds and exciting history which can be discovered in the Sousse Archaeological Museum or the Museum Dar Essid. The city of Sousse, similar to Monastir, exhibits some important ancient structures that remain intact today. The Ribat in Sousse is a bit smaller than that of Monastir and perhaps not as impressive, but it is inexpensive to enter and visitors can climb the tower right to the top to appreciate the expansive views of the city from above. The Medina is nearby and contains the main Mosque of the city as well as a bustling souk complete with passionate traders who will test your haggling skills. Be careful of rogue traders and pickpockets in busy areas such as these and be mindful of offers made by unlicensed operators. Getting to Sousse from Monastir is very easy to do, just hop on the bus or train from the city centre and in about half an hour you'll be there.

Running from the Fatehpuri Masjid (mosque) in the West to the Red Fort in the East, Chandni Chowk is the main artery of Old Delhi. It is the most crowded, colourful and cacophonous bazaar in the whole of Delhi, a wonder to delve into by rickshaw and where anything, from knickknacks to delicious street food, can be found.
