Kells Priory is one of the largest and most impressive medieval monuments in Ireland. This Augustine priory features a collection of jutting medieval towers, inspiring its local nickname: "Seven Castles".

The River Rönne winds its way through the countryside from Lake Ringsjön to the sea at Ängelholm. This stretch is 85 kilometres long, and you can paddle your way along through almost tropical scenery, and past areas with rich cultural traditions. The peaceful journey is occasionally punctuated with rapids. There are plenty of things to see and do along the way. Some sections are ideal for families with children. You can choose to paddle for a few hours or a few days. One example is the trip from Gunnarödsbron/Stockamöllan to Rögnaröd/Djupadal, which takes around four hours. You can hire canoes and kayaks from various locations, and most hire companies also offer overnight accommodation. Stay in a converted stable or a 17th century cottage. Or why not get a whole bunch of friends together and hire a 20- or 12-man tent. If you want to spend the night in the great outdoors, there are places with shelters, toilets and firewood. For a particularly Swedish summer experience, combine a canoeing trip with hiring a sauna trailer. Take a hot sauna, followed by a dip in the river.

During Waterville's cozy summer months, enjoy free live concerts in the Town Square courtyard every Saturday evening from July through Labor Day. Bring a lawn chair or blanket, and take in the music from the courtyard, the beach, or even while boating on Corcoran Pond.

Nestled along Shenzhen’s coastline, the Mangrove Nature Reserve is a peaceful retreat and a crucial stop for migratory birds travelling the East Asia-Australasia Flyway. The park’s serene surroundings make it a perfect spot for nature lovers, especially birdwatchers hoping to catch glimpses of over 200 species of migratory birds, including rare sightings like the black-faced spoonbill. But this place isn’t just for wildlife enthusiasts—locals love to visit on weekends for a different kind of escape. With its scenic sea views, the park is often filled with families and groups playing cards, enjoying picnics, or simply unwinding by the water.
