Escape for a few days to the best ski resorts in Europe and discover some new places while you're there. There's time for everything!

Etna is the largest volcano in Europe and the world’s most active. Year after year, the constant eruptions make it diminish its 3342 meters high, according to the latest estimations.

If you enjoy hiking, you’ll like climbing Mount Etna. Its spectacular dark and volcanic landscapes seem typical of a moonscape. After many eruptions, it is curious that the vegetation has been able to re-settle large areas in the zone.

You can move up by two different paths, the South side and the North side. The South side or Nicolosi, which starts from the Sapienza refuge, has a 5-hour course and medium difficulty. If you take the South side, you will pass  through Bove and the summit craters. The North side Linguaglossa starts at Piano Provenzana and is suitable for trekking lovers.
But if physical effort is not for you, you can make the route back and forth comfortably in funicular railway.

A place well worth discovering! Check out our flights here.

Known as the oldest theme park in the world, Bakken is home to more than thirty attractions that include roller coasters, merry-go-rounds and trains, as well as the circus and musical shows that can be seen every day. Bakken can be found in Dyrehaven (which means ‘Deer Park’ in Danish) – a large natural park full of old oak trees and impressive herds of both red and fallow deer.

The history of Bakken began with a chance discovery: on this spot over 425 years ago, a woman called Kirsten Piil stumbled upon a source of clean water – something very hard to find within the walls of Royal Copenhagen. This discovery led local families to start using the area for recreational and entertainment purposes. Traders and performers of all sorts soon began to arrive to keep them entertained and, little by little, the area was transformed into the great theme park it is today.

Entry to the park is free and a wristband can be purchased for 199 Kr. (€26.70) that will get you a maximum of ten rides on each of the attractions.

Mediaeval armour and porcelain; period European dresses and clothes worn by soldiers from the Far East… All this can be found in the museum-house dedicated to Frederick Stibbert (1838-1906), an Englishman born in Florence who devoted his life and fortune to converting his home into a Neo-Gothic castle in which to house his extensive collection of historical objects that he gathered on his numerous travels all over the world.

The museum is a fine example of the eclectic taste for collecting historical objects, which range from the Middle Ages to Napoleon’s time and on to the most wealthy classes of the late 19th Century. Worth highlighting is the collection of mediaeval armour to be found in the Sala della Cavalcata, which is set against the colourful and elegant clothes worn by Japanese warriors of yesteryear.

The museum is open every day of the week except Thursday and only closes its doors on certain specific public holidays. An adult ticket costs €6 and children can get in for €4 (4-12 years) or €2 (0-3 years).Guided tours are available for groups (25 people max.) and visits to the Japanese collection must be booked in advance.
