This outdoor circus is built to keep and encourage the careers of Cambodian artists. Different performances with music, dance, juggling and acrobatics tell the stories about the life and society of Cambodians. When you visit this theatre, you can also contribute to their wishes of having an indoor venue one day.

In the olden days, Halmstad had four town gates and today only the North Gate remains. Once this narrow passage was a through route to one of our largest main roads. The Norre Port was completed in 1601 under the Danish king Christian IV. These days the gate leads you to the cosy Norre katts park.

There is no better way to start your visit to Lima than where it all began. The Plaza de Armas or Plaza Mayor is the birthplace of Peru's capital and still the city's main hub. Around the square, you will find many of Lima's historic landmarks such as a 17th-century Cathedral, the Government Palace (the official residence of Peru's president), the Archbishop's Palace, the Municipal Palace, the Palace of the Union, and the Casa del Oidor — it is a great place to admire many of the colonial architectural gems Lima boasts. Embellishing the centre of the plaza is a beautiful 1650 bronze fountain set on what once was the grounds of the city's gallows. At noon, walk to the Presidential Palace to watch the traditional changing of the guards. Just a few minutes from there is the historic Gran Hotel Bolivar, where many Hollywood stars, singers, politicians and famous authors have stayed. The list includes former American President Nixon, Ernest Hemingway and Mick Jagger, among others.

In the heart of Miraflores lie the remains of a pre-Inca pyramid, built around 500 AD and said to have served as a ceremonial and administrative centre for a coastal indigenous civilisation. Visits to the complex are also possible at night when the setting gets even more dramatic. Don't miss the Huaca Pucllana Restaurant, which offers you a front-row seat to the ruins (mentioned in the Dining section of this guide).
