One of the largest parks in Seville, Maria Luisa is designed in a mix of 1920's Art Deco and mock Mudejar. This park is beautifully decorated with plenty of ceramic-tiled benches, fountains, pools, statues and monuments. However, travellers often head straight to the star attraction of the park, Plaza de España.

The Cheonggyecheon was originally a creek that flowed through downtown Seoul -- in the wake of rapid post-war economic development, it was buried under concrete to facilitate urban expansion. Today, however, the over 10 km-long creek and its banks have been uncovered and remodelled into an exciting recreational area for locals and tourists, with clean water and natural habitats bordering on residential and office buildings.

A green lung right in the heart of the city. There are several already, but from April 1st you will also be able to enjoy the tranquillity of the Silent Garden at the Archiepiscopal Palace. This green space located between the Wollemarkt and Schoutetstraat will be open three days a week. Take a stroll in the garden and admire the sheds, the Lourdes grottoes, the pavilion but also the garden wall itself, all of which have just been restored. With the emphasis on silence, this little oasis right under St Rumbold’s Tower is just the place to switch off the technology and unwind.

Built in the late 15th century in the Renaissance style with Gothic and Moorish influences, this palace belongs to the House of Alba. A series of ornate courtyards and cloisters combine with an impressive art collection to make this one of the most tasteful attractions in Seville. The art on display ranges from Roman sculptures to antique ceramics to contemporary design.
