Located in the southeastern part of Varna, the Roman Baths are the largest ancient public building discovered in Bulgaria. This remarkably well-preserved site offers visitors a chance to walk through history and admire the intricate details of the original structure. The affordable entrance fee makes it an excellent value, and it is considered one of the most important historical sites in Varna. After exploring, visitors can relax at the museum café.

The Roman Odeon is a beautifully preserved 2nd-century amphitheatre in the centre of Patras. Older than its famous counterpart in Athens, it is a compact and elegant structure with all the classic elements: a marble-paved orchestra, a towering stage wall, and tiered seating. Accidentally rediscovered in the late 19th century, it was meticulously restored after WWII and now serves as a primary venue for summer concerts and festivals. You can explore the site freely and view archaeological exhibits scattered around its exterior.

Once a 1950s military factory complex, 798 has been converted into Beijing’s best-known contemporary art district. The old concrete workshops and warehouses now house galleries, studios, and design shops, featuring everything from major exhibitions to small, experimental shows. You’ll find photography, video art, installations, and plenty of one-off pieces that change all the time. The area has also filled up with cafés, bars, and restaurants, so it’s easy to spend a few hours wandering, eating, and people-watching. It’s in the Dashanzi area, northeast of the centre, and the mix of Mao-era industrial buildings and modern art is half the experience.
