This extensive museum presents Estonia's history from prehistoric times right up to the end of the 20th century. Films and interactive displays show how people here lived, fought and survived over the last 11,000 years. Children can look for the museum’s very own dragon, displayed for centuries on the building’s pillar.

You can go on four different cruises on the Amersfoort canals. The skippers will tell you all about the city’s history and the monuments along the canals: an opportunity to discover Amersfoort from the waterside. A cruise takes about 45 minutes.

Tunis reveals its scholarly heritage through a collection of beautifully preserved madrasas, each bearing witness to centuries of intellectual pursuit. Over 20 madrasas are spread over the Medina of Tunis, some of them seven centuries old. The role these madrasas played has evolved over time. The Madrasa Slimania, founded by 18th-century ruler Ali Pasha, stands out with its ornate prayer hall and elevated entrance porch. Where student cells once housed scholars, medical professionals now work beneath the same vaulted ceilings. Nearby, the Madrasa El Bachia has transitioned from Quranic school to artisan workshops, its courtyard fountain silent but its creative spirit alive. The Madrasa Palmier (or Madrasa Ennakhla) maintains its original purpose as a centre for Quranic studies, its namesake palm still shading the courtyard behind formidable studded doors. Meanwhile, El Khaldounia represents a bridge between tradition and modernity. Established in 1896 near Souk Al Attarine, this progressive institution now serves as a bilingual library, honouring Ibn Khaldoun’s legacy of critical thought.

The Wren Building, on the campus of William & Mary, is the oldest college building in the U.S. and one of Williamsburg’s most historic sites. Built between 1695 and 1700, it has survived fires, restorations, and centuries of history. Visitors can step inside to see colonial-era architecture, hear stories about the college’s past, and get a feel for early American education. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a quick visit—especially if you’re exploring Colonial Williamsburg.
