The Chianti region is one of the world's most famous wine districts, and Florence is located right in the centre of this area. The landscape is unique, with green hills and vineyards lying next to olive groves and cypress trees. It is such beautiful scenery that many internationally renowned directors have set their movies here. And one of the best ways to explore the region is by booking a wine-tasting tour. You will visit two top-rated Chianti wineries, where you will sample different varieties of wines along with olive oil and Tuscan specialities like cheese, salami, cured ham, and bruschetta — a must-do for any wine lover.

Housed in a kiosk, this iconic and much prized monument marks the spot where the explorer Ferdinand Magellan planted a cross after baptising the first Filippinos, so creating Cebu as the cradle of Christianity in the Philippines. Look skywards to admire the ceiling paintings depicting the historical event.

This small beach sits between Pedregalejo and El Palo, in a quieter part of town east of the centre. It’s popular with locals, with calm water, a relaxed vibe, and a wide promenade behind it. There are a few chiringuitos nearby if you want seafood or a cold drink, and it’s a good spot for a more laid-back beach day away from La Malagueta.

Wandering through Malaga’s Old Town is one of the best ways to get a feel for the city. The maze of narrow streets still follows the original Moorish layout — winding paths that offer shade during the heat and open into small squares lined with cafés, churches, and tapas bars. It's an easy place to get a bit lost in the best way possible. At its heart is Plaza de la Constitución, the city’s main square since medieval times. Nearby, Calle Larios is the grand pedestrian street — good for shopping, people-watching, or just walking under the seasonal lights and decorations. The area’s full of small shops, old buildings, and hidden corners that tell Málaga’s layered story.
