The baroque "Chapel of Merchants, Shopkeepers and Bankers" was built at the end of the 1600s. This lesser known architectural jewel still holds numerous original artworks. The most noteworthy of them is the Perpetual Calendar built by the engineering Giovanni Plana — a primitive computing machine that allows its user to look up details about any date between the years 1 and 4000. Powered by a small wooden crank, the intricate gears and chains put into motion the nine inscribed cylinders, The chapel is only open to the public on the weekends, when mass is held. If you are lucky, you can attend the occasional classical music concert and experience the building's impressive acoustics.

Another test of physical endurance, a cycling trip from Paro to Bumthang is a 4-day, 350-kilometre adventure that gives participants a chance to experience the spellbinding Bhutanese countryside, passing peaks of 3,500 metres above sea level. Again, this is a challenging endeavour and should only be attempted by experienced riders.

St Olof's Chapel in Tylösand is a popular wedding chapel built in wood. Open during the summer, it's described as one of the most idyllic spots in Halmstad. There is a tiny cafe next to the chapel if you want to enjoy the sea view with a cup of coffee.
