Visit Signagi

Visit Batumi, Georgia's vibrant Black Sea resort city. Stroll along the Batumi Boulevard (7km seaside promenade with botanical gardens and modern sculptures), see the Alphabet Tower (130m tall monument celebrating Georgian script), explore the Batumi Botanical Garden (one of the largest in the former USSR with diverse plant collections), and try local dishes like khachapuri (cheese-filled bread) and khinkali (dumplings).

The Bagrati cathedral, Gelati monastery and the Prometheus cave, in the capital of ancient Colchis.

Medieval defence towers in the high Svaneti valleys, the base for treks to Ushguli and glaciers.

Half-timbered Alsace at its prettiest, the Isenheim Altarpiece and the Alsace wine route on the doorstep.

The capital of the Dukes of Burgundy: mustard, the Owl trail through the old town and the Cote d'Or vineyards south.

The cathedral where French kings were crowned and the champagne houses tunnelled into the chalk beneath it.

The Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museums in a valley of vineyards, with the Black Forest an hour away.

The Olympic Museum on a hillside above Lake Geneva, with the Lavaux vineyard terraces next door.
