The Motown Museum is where the legendary Motown sound was born, launching the careers of iconic artists like Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, and Michael Jackson. Founded by Berry Gordy in 1959 with an $800 loan, this small house on Detroit’s West Grand Boulevard became Hitsville U.S.A.—the birthplace of some of the most influential music in history. A visit to this iconic site takes you inside the studio where the magic happened and offers a glimpse into the legacy of a musical revolution that changed the world.

Campus Martius Park is the heartbeat of downtown Detroit, hosting the city’s major events year-round. In the summer, it transforms into a lively urban beach, perfect for soaking up the sun. If it’s too chilly for that, don’t worry—during the winter months, the park features a popular ice rink and festive Christmas trees that light up the season.

Durban is home to some of South Africa's finest stretches of sand. The Golden Mile in central Durban is a collection of multiple well-kept beaches fit for both swimming and surfing and equipped with all necessary amenities; Umhlanga beaches to the north are known for being cleaner and less crowded.

Those who live and work here say that you don’t really need to explain where the Jeker quarter is: Once you’re there, you’ll know. This is where the locals stroll the streets at their leisure, students read in the park, and you can spend a whole Sunday on a café terrace, a wisp of jazz music in the air in the background, and never get bored. The Jeker quarter is nestled between the old city walls and centuries-old houses, bordered by the green of the city park. Although people have lived here for centuries, no one has ever explored it all. Enterprise is deeply rooted in the genes of this community: A history full of crafts and trades has left its marks, and forged the unique, authentic, innovative and creative atmosphere you feel here today. And right through the middle of it, that impudent little river, the Jeker, flows brazenly on. The quaint streets, stately homes, and idyllic parks have everything to make history come alive, while the rich student life, mix of young and old, culinary highlights, and abundant art and culture pull you back to the present.
