Every major community in Bhutan has its own dzong, a centre for religious, civic and administrative life, but none is quite as magnificent as Thimphu's Tashichho Dzong. Though this iteration was built in the 18th century, there has been a dzong at this site since 1216, making it one of the most important religious and political places in the country.

A visit to the Santa Bárbara Castle is highly recommended. Located atop Mount Benacantil, at a height of 166 metres, it is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain, with unbeatable views over the Bay of Alicante and on clear days you can see all the way to Tabarca Island. Such is its relevance that during the 20th century it was declared a Monument of Historic and Artistic Importance and a Site of Cultural Interest. Here we can also find one of the most characteristic images of the city, a rock formation resembling a man’s profile on the southwestern slope, known as the Moor’s Face, which is best viewed from Postiguet Beach. The Museum of the city in Santa Bárbara's Castle “MUSA”, housed in the Castle itself, was included in its cultural offer and it explains in five theme rooms the history of the city of Alicante and their inhabitants. To descend down from the Santa Bárbara Castle, take the route through Parque de La Ereta, along the mountainside. Its location and views transform it into a place of relaxation as well as a great meeting place. It also has a spectacular restaurant and, on the way down to the old town quarter, you can visit the picturesque, quintessentially Spanish Santa Cruz district. Another attractive option between the castle and the Santa Cruz district is walking along the remains of the walls that surrounded the Castle, which now end in the Santa Cruz district. Visitors can also access the castle via a lift built within the rock face opposite El Postiguet beach.

Key West, the southernmost point in the continental U.S., is famous for its lively nightlife, pristine beaches, historic charm, and signature conch-style pastel homes. Located 130 miles south of Miami and just 90 miles from Cuba, this quirky island feels like its own little world. The drive along the Overseas Highway to Key West is a bucket-list experience, offering jaw-dropping views of turquoise waters and scenic islands. Once there, don’t miss the Ernest Hemingway House, where you can tour the author’s former home and meet the resident six-toed cats.

DierenPark Amersfoort is just a 10-minute drive away from the city centre and is the most child-friendly zoo of the Netherlands. The zoo has a genuine dinosaur forest and a huge birdhouse. The zoo is easily accessible by public transport or car.
