Lining up the eastern side of the Vågen harbour is Bergen's most famous postcard, Bryggen. A series of colourful wooden buildings, which once housed the trading offices of the Hanseatic League. Over the years, Bryggen has been ravaged by many fires, and in 1702 the entire city was reduced to ashes. Its rebuilding followed the foundations that had been there since the 12th century, which means that Bryggen was able to retain its medieval architecture. In 1979, the area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. And today, Bryggen is home to museums, shops, restaurants, and pubs.

In the south of Vienna is Therme Wien, the biggest thermal spa facility in Austria. Relax and be pampered by 26 indoor and outdoor pools, 24 sauna and steam cabins, 2,500 loungers and a 6,000 m² health area. Only a 30-minute metro or tram ride from the city centre, it's a good option for a relaxing break from sightseeing.

Brotfabrik, a former bread factory turned contemporary art gallery and photography exhibition hall, is a must for any art lover.

The cafe, Magdas Kantine, is run as a social business, employing refugees and those unemployed long-term.
