The Centre Georges Pompidou is a vast postmodern and high-tech architectural space that hosts the Musée National d'Art Moderne (the largest modern art museum in Europe) along with an expansive public library, and a centre for music and acoustic research. Its construction was controversial, as it was necessary to demolish the emblematic market that stood at that location at Les Halles, and it was initially despised by many Parisians for its unusual architectural aesthetic, which many thought clashed with the city's classical and sophisticated style.

There are two waterfalls in the vicinity of Nha Trang, both of which make for excellent excursions into nature. Ba Ho Falls, at a distance of roughly 30km north of central Nha Trang, are the falls that attract most visitors. You will need a ride to reach the entrance to the natural area (get a taxi or Grab). Bring swimwear, sturdy shoes (not flip-flops), and your own water. Note that water volumes may vary dramatically depending on whether you visit during or outside the dry season (January through August). Another option is Fairy Spring Waterfalls (Suối Tiên), mostly favoured by local youth. These are much smaller compared to Ba Ho, but there is still an opening fit for swimming. There is a small admission fee to visit both falls.

This is a beautiful park in the south of Ancona where you will find rock caves and white limestone cliffs unlike any others on the Adriatic coast. Do not miss Portonovo, Sirolo and Numana. The famous crowded beach in Sirolo is very beautiful and it is definitely worth a visit.

The stunning Indian River Lagoon Preserve Park spans 200 acres of natural uplands, wetlands and water. Plan a day with the picnic pavilion, nature trails, fishing piers and educational opportunities. The Marine Discovery Center is also located at the Park, providing programs for children and adults.
