There are a dozen of national parks in the British Virgin Islands, and since every major island has one, it is easy to incorporate a hike into your itinerary. Diamond Cay is Jost Van Dyke's treasure box located on the east side of the island, and is in fact a 1.25-acre bird sanctuary that's also home to turtles and lizards. Bubbly Pool, formed by waves crashing against the rocks, is only a short walk away to the north.

The Dock Street Theater is an irreplaceable part of Charleston's artistic life. In 1736, it was opened as the first structure to be built exclusively for performances. Even today, after almost 4 centuries in the heart of Charleston, the theater still hosts many plays like Annie and Charlotte's Web.

Just above Tivat, Gornja Lastva is a tiny mountain village that seems to have slipped through the cracks of time. With its old stone houses, narrow cobblestone streets, and stunning views of the Bay of Kotor, it’s one of those places that’s perfect for getting away from the crowds. There’s not much happening here, just a few visitors wandering around the churches, grabbing a coffee at a local café, or chatting with the locals.

Numerous small and big companies offer guided tours that focus on the savoury and salty richness of Parmigiano cheese and Parma ham. Most operators will bring you to a cheese factory tour just outside the city, let you try differently aged samples (most likely 1, 2 and 3-year cheeses). Similarly, don't miss a chance to see a Parma ham factory and taste the thinnest melt-in-your-mouth slices. Pick a tour that best matches your budget, interests and time frame. The most important variable in choosing the best tour is traveller reviews.
