Visit Dinant

Danube stretch of terraced vineyards, apricot orchards and the ruined castle where Richard the Lionheart was held.

Apricot orchards and forts beneath 7,000-metre Karakoram peaks.

The capital of Wallonia under one of the largest citadels in Europe, where the Sambre meets the Meuse.

Visit the abandoned Burj Al Babas castle village in Turkey, a surreal landscape of hundreds of identical fairy-tale castles left unfinished.

Fairy-tale town wrapped in a bend of the Vltava, with a painted castle tower and a baroque theatre that still works.

Walled medieval town of whitewashed lanes and bougainvillea, where ginjinha cherry liqueur is served in chocolate cups.

Hike between medieval tower villages under the highest peaks of the Caucasus.

Rolling hills of honey-stone villages — Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, Castle Combe — that look unchanged in 300 years.
