The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travellers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as the new Provence. Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

帕爾馬除了是馬霍卡的經濟與文化中心，還是前往佈滿金、白沙子的沙灘之出發點，絕對賞心悅目。帕爾馬的古城前身為摩爾人的城堡或城寨，是由狹窄街道組城的迷人迷宮，你可以散步的方式來探索此區，展開愉快輕鬆的旅程。建議你乘搭索耶爾火車，來個 17 英里長的美麗景觀之旅，或是造訪 14 世紀的貝爾貝耶古堡和當代藝術館；當然也少不了要體驗夜生活啦。

Majorca has many beach towns, but if you like your sunny holiday served with a touch of history on the side, you should definitely consider Calvia. Homes and churches date from the 17th century (and earlier), and there are even the remains of a Roman villa.

As the first place in Spain to see the sunrise, Minorca is like the country’s ambassador to the morning. Beaches here are beautiful and, surprisingly, relatively empty. The jewel-coloured water is a magnet for waterskiers, windsurfers and sailors. Playa De Binigaus beach is perfect for families, while Cala Mitjana is an idyllic spot for romance. Head to the town of Alaoir to nibble on some fresh local cheese or turn back time in the charming fishing village of Fornells.

北萊茵威斯特伐利亞 (North Rhine-Westphalia) 的首都杜塞爾道夫 (Dusseldorf) 橫跨萊茵河兩岸，是該區的經濟龍頭。古城 (Altstadt) 不僅是杜塞爾道夫迷人的古老城鎮，也是這座城市夜生活的大本營，到處都能夠喝到老啤酒 (Altbier)，也就是當地原產的黑啤酒。杜塞爾道夫人可是相當重視他們的啤酒。國王大道 (Königsallee，當地人稱之為 KO) 是杜塞爾道夫知名的購物街，高級商店林立。藝術皇宮美術館則有著萊茵地區最出色的藝術收藏。

Modern Esbjerg is the country's largest port and the base of Denmark's oil industry. Central sights are easily explored on foot, and buses shuttle to the Fisheries and Maritime Museum, where Denmark's fishing history is celebrated. Visitors should explore the main streets: Skolegade is crammed with bars, and pedestrian-only Kongensgade bustles with 150 shops and restaurants. Home to the original Legoland, this city of 85,000 also offers fun daytrips to picturesque Fano, 12 minutes away by ferry.
