The Las Vegas Strip is probably the world's best-known boulevard stretch, so do prepare yourself for an intense few hours among casinos, restaurants, stores, top-notch hotels, and many other establishments. One of the most popular activities is taking pictures with people dressed up as the famous, and one of the choices is Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and even Alan from the movie "The Hangover." After having been here during the day, come back at night to rediscover the Strip, and for getting both dizzy and amazed in this sea of shimmering neon lights.

Renamed from Kestner-Museum to Museum August Kestner, in order to avoid confusion with the local art gallery Kestnergesellschaft, this museum was founded in 1889 and, in 1962, rebuilt in its present and highly interesting form. Centered on the collections of August Kestner himself as well as his nephew Hermann, the exhibitions contain four different categories of antiquities: Ancient Egypt, Classical Antiquity, Numismatics and Handicraft.

Two distinct gardens spreading across seven acres are the perfect backdrop for a panoramic walk with views on the 12th-century landmark castle. The entrance ticket also gives access to the contemporary gallery Lismore Castle Arts.
