If you want to enjoy the stunning desert of Fuerteventura, Corralejo Natural Park is the best place to go. With its long coast (2.5 by 10.5 kilometres), this island has two different landscapes to offer to its excited visitors: in the north, you can admire the biggest dune of the Canary Islands, whereas in the south you can enjoy a stunning volcanic landscape.

Stortorget, the largest square in Karlskrona, stands proudly at the heart of Trossö island, forming the central hub of the city. This grand square, perched on the island's highest point, is surrounded by monumental buildings that tell tales of the city's rich history. The centrepiece is the statue of Karl XI, overseeing the bustling paved expanse. Two magnificent churches, Fredrikskyrkan (The Frederick Church) and Trefaldighetskyrkan (The Holy Trinity Church), also known as the German Church, add to the square's allure. Stortorget captivates visitors with its architectural splendour, and the surrounding pedestrian streets feature an array of restaurants and cafés.

This temple was built in the 1860's in honour of "Pak Tai", a peace-keeping god of war. Look into one of the side rooms where old men are seated, building small paper and bamboo models of everything that they want to carry with them into the afterlife.

It’s all here, whether you go for the big names or those cute little boutiques you find nowhere else. And whether you prefer an upmarket department store or a covered shopping centre for your whole new wardrobe, or enjoy running from shop to shop in search of that one perfect item. Here in the Maastricht city centre, there’s something for every shopaholic, young or old, boy or girl. Comb the Grote Staat and be dazzled by all the known and lesser-known chains you find here. Take a peek at the shopping centre Entre Deux, worth a visit for its architecture alone, and for the huge shops for famous labels you’ll find here. There are still a few surprises for you in store at the shopping centre Mosae Forum, just next to the Markt. And don’t overlook the basement floor, where you’ll find some hidden gems (of the edible kind!). But it’s not all fashion, beauty, and lifestyle; there’s also a special place for books, in the amazing bookshop in the medieval Dominican church, a highlight of the city centre not to be missed. Need a breather? When you’re ready to take a break from your shopping adventure, you’ll be pleased to find that the amazing array of shops is interspersed with pubs, cafés, and charming restaurants.
