Visit Coligny Beach Park for a laid back and relaxing afternoon. At the well maintained beach, cycling, running are a popular activity as well as enjoying the sun at the beach.

Shichahai is a chain of three lakes just north of the Forbidden City, surrounded by old hutongs, temples, and courtyard houses. It’s a popular spot for walking, cycling, or renting a paddle boat in summer, while in winter the frozen lake often turns into an ice rink. Around the water, there are plenty of cafés, restaurants, and teahouses, along with a stretch of lively bars — many with live music in the evenings. The side alleys are worth exploring as well, with small shops selling antiques, snacks, and local crafts.

Wild Horizons delivers an unforgettable elephant encounter on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls, offering a rare chance to interact intimately with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. You will be able to feed, touch, and walk alongside the elephants while knowledgeable guides share fascinating insights about their behaviour and conservation. The experience includes excellent refreshments and service.

For many travellers, a visit to Northern Cyprus feels like stepping back in time. This region, which is controlled by Turkey, is a world away from the busy resorts, malls, and familiar international chains that can be found in the south. Instead, visitors will find remote villages and a slower pace of life. This sense of suspended animation can be traced back to the Turkish invasion of 1974, which led to the north becoming isolated from the rest of the world and self-proclaimed as a republic, recognized only by Turkey. Northern Cyprus stretches from the Karpass Peninsula to Morphou Bay, Cape Kormakitis, and its westernmost point, the Kokkina exclave. The southernmost point of Northern Cyprus is the village of Louroujina. This region is separated from the rest of the island by a buffer zone controlled by the United Nations, which also divides Nicosia, the largest city on the island and the capital of both north and south Cyprus. Despite its isolated status, Northern Cyprus has a lot to offer travellers. Its two prettiest towns, Girne and Gazimağusa, are located here, as well as half of the capital city. The region is home to three of the island's mightiest Crusader castles (St Hilarion, Buffavento and Kantara) and the island's most important archaeological site at Salamis. The Kyrenia Mountains, in particular, are a hiker's paradise, and many of the region's beaches are relatively untouched by high-rise resorts. Additionally, a visit to Northern Cyprus provides the unique opportunity to experience two very different cultures: the Orthodox Greek Cypriot and the Muslim Turkish Cypriot worlds. The north can also feel more affordable than the south, as it is not part of the Eurozone. Its tourist infrastructure is not as well-developed yet.
