The building of La Vieille Bourse, as it is known locally, consists of a couple dozen separate buildings and a beautiful courtyard containing a book flea market. It is a fine example of 17th century ornamental Flemish Renaissance.

Go for a stroll along Quay Street with its heritage-listed sandstone Victorian-era buildings alongside Fitzroy River. You can pick up leaflets that map out walking trails around Rockhampton from the visitor centres.

At 517 metres, Pico do Facho is the highest point on Porto Santo and one of the island’s most spectacular viewpoints. Its name comes from facho, a signal fire once lit here to warn the local population of approaching pirate ships. The trail to the summit is moderately easy, suitable for most walkers who are comfortable with uneven terrain and a bit of uphill hiking. It typically takes around 2 to 2½ hours for a round trip at a leisurely pace. Along the way, the trail offers occasional lookout spots where you can pause to take in the island’s volcanic ridges and sweeping landscapes. Once at the summit, you’ll be treated to full 360-degree views: the island’s long golden beach stretched below, rugged volcanic hills rolling inland, and the Atlantic fading into the horizon.

This historic sight is the oldest church in Inverness. The so-called "Town Church" is open to visitors and on Fridays you can join a guided tour at 11.30, or attend mass on Sundays at 11.15.
