One of the highlights of La Palma is the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory containing the world's largest optical telescope. Book a daytime tour and see professional telescopes used to watch the stars, or join an evening astronomy tour to take a close-up look at the night sky yourself. The island's highest point is a stone's throw away from the observatory and makes for a great hike.

At this museum you can explore more than 14,000 years of N.C. history. In addition to interesting artifacts, the exhibition "The Story of N.C." features multimedia presentations and an interactive format.

The Green Grotto Caves have an incredibly rich history, from Indians who once dwelled in this place to the Spanish who used it as a hideout from English invaders. More recent accounts make mention of a nightclub that operated here, and it also featured in the James Bond movie "Live and Let Die."

Spanning the majestic Danube River, the Széchenyi Chain Bridge stands as an iconic symbol of the city's grandeur and architectural prowess. Completed in 1849, it was the first permanent bridge to connect the Buda and Pest sides of the city. Designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and later modified by Scottish engineer Adam Clark, the bridge's chain-link structure and ornate stone lions guarding its entrances evoke a sense of timeless elegance and pride. The lions guarding the bridge are also connected to the first suicide that happened here, committed by their architect upon the realisation that he had forgotten about the tongues of the animals.
