Sustainable tourism is not only about being environmentally friendly, but also about respecting the cultural heritage of the destination. In Canberra, you can immerse yourself in one of the oldest and richest cultures in human history. Appreciate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and traditions at the National Gallery of Australia, Burrunju Art Gallery and Aboriginal Dreamings Gallery. Take a tour with a local Ngunnawal elder with Dhawura Tours or try your hand at traditional First Nations practices at a workshop at the National Arboretum.

The natural landscape of the stone forest is a spectacular limestone formation, which has been named a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Exposed to rain and winds and eroded by the elements, the limestone ranges were shaped by time into a vast forest of stone. The karst formations are believed to be 270 million years old and are located just under 100 km away from Kunming.

The Dormition of the Mother of God Cathedral, located in the heart of Varna, is one of the city's most iconic landmarks.

Entry is free, but visitors can purchase small candles at the reception as a contribution to the church, following the local tradition of lighting them while praying.

Back in 2013, Nantes became the first French city to earn the title of European Green Capital—a recognition of its long-standing efforts in sustainable urban planning. And it didn’t stop there.

It’s a place where environmental goals actually shape how the city feels and works today.
