Kuala Lumpur: Visiting the National Palace, Monument and Mosque
A trio of national sites: the Istana Negara (royal palace), the Tugu Negara (national monument) and the Masjid Negara (national mosque).
Layer Marney Tower
Conceived as a grand Tudor palace to rival Hampton Court, only its tower made it past the design stage. It's the tallest Tudor tower in the UK.
Inchcolm Island
This small, idyllic island in the middle of the Firth of Forth is home to a medieval abbey, tunnels from the First World War, and lots and lots of seagulls.
Rosslyn Chapel
Featuring intricate stone carvings and mysterious symbols, this medieval chapel, which was made famous by The Da Vinci Code, makes for a fascinating day trip from Edinburgh.
Edinburgh: Holyrood Palace and Abbey
One of the royal family's two residences in Scotland, Holyrood is situated in the centre of Edinburgh at the bottom of the Royal Mile.
Edinburgh Castle
Perched high atop one of Edinburgh's two dormant volcanoes, Edinburgh Castle is an impressive fortification that dominates the surrounding landscape.
Tinkinswood Burial Chamber
Excavated in 1914, this 6,000-year-old Neolithic burial chamber was once the resting place for more than 50 people.
Havana
This is one cool capital city. The district of Old Havana exudes a faded glamour, a mix of beautifully-preserved colonial architecture, and run-down, frayed buildings.
Santa Clara
The site of a decisive battle in the Cuban revolution and the burial place of Che Guevara. Here you'll find the Tren Blindado Monument, commemorating a Guevara-masterminded train derailment, and a huge memorial to the revolutionary leader.
Cienfuegos
Nicknamed the 'Pearl of the South', the photogenic city of Cienfuegos on central Cuba's southern coast boasts a beautiful bay and some spectacular colonial architecture.
