Jakarta

Indonesia’s sprawling capital is one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing, most chaotic, and exciting places. It is the gateway to a vast, vibrant, and varied island nation home to dozens of fascinating cultures. Formerly the colonial capital of the Dutch East Indies, when it was known as Batavia, Jakarta has grown from its original seaport district into a huge modern conurbation of high-rise hotels and apartments, thronged shopping malls, and wide, crowded avenues.

Maribor

Despite being Slovenia’s second largest city, Maribor has the charm of a small town where nature and city live in close proximity. Embraced on all sides by lush green hills which in winter turn white and are excellent for skiing, forests and vineyards, most within an easy walk from the centre, you can sample the cafes and restaurants and stroll through the vibrant streets of the old town. But the nearby hills are a constant reminder that nature is just a few steps away and a whole world of leisure awaits you.

Sharm el-Sheikh

Framed by clear blue sea and desert mountains, Sharm El-Sheikh is one of Egypt’s top spots for sun, diving, and downtime. Resorts stretch along the coast, but there’s more to Sharm than just beaches—coral reefs, boat trips, Bedouin dinners, and day tours to Mount Sinai. Whether you're here to dive, relax, or explore, Sharm is an easy base with a bit of everything.

Lille

Over a decade ago, Lille was awarded the European Capital of Culture title, marking not its pinnacle but rather the start of its journey. In the years since, it has established itself as a premier cultural destination, rivalling any other in northern France and, according to some, beyond. Once a thriving commercial hub in French Flanders, Lille still exudes a strong Flemish character, both in its cuisine and the ornate buildings of its charming Old Town.

Autumn and winter colours

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Minneapolis is a city on the rise. Situated on the banks of the Mississippi River, it is rumored that iconic American writer Mark Twain was the first to assign the name ‘Twin Cities’ to Minneapolis and neighboring city St. Paul. It's a metropolis that can cater to all your wishes: spend an entire week shopping, finding all the popular brands and some local ones, or go on a pub crawl and discover high-quality bars the city has to offer.

Baltimore, Maryland

Perched along the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore has been a vital port city since the 1600s, historically serving as the second most popular immigration gateway after Ellis Island. Just 35 miles northeast of Washington, D.C. and 75 miles southwest of Philadelphia, the city’s waterfront continues to define its character, blending history with modern cultural energy. A hub of innovation, arts, and diverse cuisine, Baltimore offers something for every traveler.

Jönköping

Nature has been wonderfully generous with Jönköping and has dotted it with beautiful small lakes, rolling wooded hills, meadows, wetlands, and last but not least, a kilometre-long beach in the town centre. Perfectly situated between Sweden's major metropolises, the city thrives as a hub for both business and leisure. With warm hospitality and natural wonders, Jönköping promises a unique blend of scenic beauty and urban charm.
