Örebro

Örebro is an attractive city boasting well-preserved historic areas along the river Svartån. While the grand Vasa Castle gathers the majority of the attention for its historical significance, Örebro offers a dynamic mix of old-world charm and modern vibrancy. The city's architectural diversity, coupled with an array of entertainment venues, shops, and cafés, creates a lively urban atmosphere. Within a short distance from the city, natural wonders such as Lake Hjälmaren and Kilsbergen, “The Blue Mountains,” provide great outdoor experiences.

Pristina

Few places in Europe have remained off the beaten path as much as the Kosovar first city; fewer yet have been at the heart of a political dispute as agonising in recent history. Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, one of the world's youngest states, boasts a youthful populace to match, and exudes a lust for life that's virtually tangible. Still rough around the edges and with no tourist information offices in sight, Pristina remains uncharted territory, a state of affairs foreseen to change as the city attracts a growing number of visitors.

Copenhagen

Often ranked among the best cities to live in, Copenhagen is a Nordic haven where the concept of 'hygge', embracing cosiness and contentment, permeates every corner. Copenhagen's charm lies in its ability to foster both the cutting-edge and the timeless, offering a multifaceted experience that appeals to the modern adventurer and history enthusiast alike. Jump on a bike and wander through its charming neighbourhoods, discover innovative architecture, savour world-class cuisine, and recharge your batteries in one of its many green spaces.

Qingdao

Qingdao is possibly the most beautiful coastal city in China, famous for comfortable weather, a large number of beaches and delicious seafood. A former German concession, it boasts charming European-style architecture and is home to Qingdao Beer, one of Asia’s most celebrated brews. Long a favourite among Chinese holidaymakers, Qingdao gained international attention during the Beijing Olympics and is now increasingly popular with foreign visitors seeking a unique mix of seaside relaxation and cultural heritage.

Le Cap d'Agde Méditerranée, France

Autumn and winter colours

Discover the destination with all the gorgeous colours of autumn, it is also a place worth discovering.

Timisoara

Lying near the Hungarian and Serbian borders, Timisoara is the gateway to the West and has a long history of cosmopolitan multiculturalism. It's the birthplace of the 1989 Romanian Revolution that ended the Ceauşescu's dictatorship, an important centre in recent Romanian history. It is a green, pleasant and walkable city with cosy cafes, lively markets and interesting museums, offering plenty of entertainment to fill your time, whether you are visiting for a day or a week.

Islamabad

The majestic Faisal Mosque stands against the backdrop of the lush Margalla Hills as a symbol of a Pakistan placed firmly in the modern day, while holding on to its history and traditions. The capital city of Islamabad is a forward-thinking metropolis nestled in the green Himalayas. Usually regarded as a diplomatic city, it has become an important business and financial centre for the region, as well as an emerging travel destination. Together with its neighbouring sister city of Rawalpindi, Islamabad gives travellers in-the-know a taste of contemporary Pakistan.

Macau

Macau has a plethora of sites despite occupying just 30.8 square kilometres of the Chinese mainland. From neon-lit casinos to charming markets, cobbled streets to modern cafés, and Baroque churches to Art Deco architecture, there's a wonderful mix of East and West in the city. Many buildings and squares reflect Macau's colonial Portuguese legacy, as does the food, laid-back lifestyle, and the blue azulejo-tiled street names. Yet Macau has a modern Asian look, rivalling Singapore and Hong Kong.

Atlantic Beach, North Carolina

Pampas grass lines the dunes that border the small town of Atlantic Beach, North Carolina.
