Not far from the Lincoln Memorial, the Kennedy Center is D.C.’s main stage for live performance. The calendar is packed year-round with everything from ballet and opera to jazz, theatre, and touring shows. The rooftop terrace is open to the public and gives a wide view of the Potomac River.

Chichén Itzá, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, is a must-visit for any traveller exploring the Yucatán Peninsula. This ancient Mayan city, renowned for its impressive architecture and historical significance, offers a captivating glimpse into a bygone era. At its heart stands the iconic El Castillo pyramid, also known as the Temple of Kukulcán, showcasing the Mayans' advanced knowledge of astronomy and engineering. Visitors can explore expansive ruins and discover remarkable structures such as the Temple of the Warriors, the Great Ball Court, and the Observatory, each telling a story of the Mayan civilisation's rich culture and scientific achievements.

Not many cemeteries would be listed among a city’s top 10 sights, but Arlington is an exception. Catch the ceremonial changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where soldiers keep a 24-hour watch in honor of the unidentified dead from World War I, World War II, and the Korean War. Beyond the tomb, you can visit the graves of presidents, military leaders, and other notable figures, or take a quiet walk through the grounds.

Italian skiing was born in Sauze d’Oulx. Here in 1897 Adolf Kind, a Swiss engineer, made his first appearance on skis and then taught locals how to organise the first competitions. Sauze d’Oulx – which once hosted the Olympic Winter Games - is a village with a delightful little centre of traditional stone and wood built buildings. The area of Sauze d’Oulx is also famous because of its eco-system: close to it, in the Gran Bosco (Great Forest), live 21 species of mammals, including deer, roe-bucks, chamois and wolves, more than 70 species of nesting birds and 600 types of flora. Via Lattea consists of five Piedmontese resorts: Sestriere, Sauze d’Oulx, Sansicario, Cesana, Claviere, and Montgenevre in France. It offers 203 skiing-connected runs (52 blue, 111 red and 40 black), for a total linear extent of 400 km. There are 78 lifts that range from an altitude of 1,350m in Cesana to 2,800m at Mount Motta, a peak that gives a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains, allowing skiers to appreciate the vastness and beauty of the area. There are also two snowparks, one in Sauze d’Oulx and one in Séstriere. You have the possibility to purchase a one day ticket, a multi-day pass (e.g. a 2-day card) or a weekly card, according to your needs. Don't worry about the equipment because in Sauze d’Oulx there are many ski rental shops where you can get anything you need! Downhill skiing, snowboarding and cross-country are the main disciplines taught in all the ski schools of Via Lattea, but there are also instructors who specialise in telemark skiing. Moreover, some instructors are experts in teaching children and the disabled.
