Voted one of the best attractions in Lisbon, the Ocearnarium in the Portuguese capital's Parque das Nações doesn't disappoint.
Lisbon: Parque das Nações and the Oceanarium
Dyffryn Gardens 2017
The theme of the gardens this year was the First World War and they looked very natural and organic, as though the gardeners hadn't done anything.
Mekong Delta
The laid-back Mekong Delta is an expansive network of water famous for its floating markets and traditional way of life.
Halong Bay
Dotted with some 2,000 oddly shaped limestone rocks, the iconic, picturesque bay doesn't disappoint in person.
Ecomusee d’Alsace
The wonderful, deceptively big Ecomusée is an open-air museum dedicated to rural life in Alsace over the last couple of centuries.
Titisee and the Black Forest
A glistening 2.5km-long freshwater lake nestled between the lush, dark green pine-covered mountains of the Black Forest. The excessively touristy namesake town is less impressive.
Dyffryn Gardens in Summer
The wild flowers and the restored Italian gardens were especially lovely as I paid my annual visit to this stately home and gardens in the Vale of Glamorgan.
