弗拉德三世在登博維察的城堡是第一支艦隊的宮殿，至今仍然有多座城堡屹立於布加勒斯特。此外，現代化的布加勒斯特交通方便，有四條地鐵線和四通八達的巴士網絡，方便大眾穿梭往來。布加勒斯特有「小巴黎」之稱，20 世紀早期的典雅建築，印證著此城市深受法國風格影響。千萬別錯過這裡的鄉村博物館、羅馬尼亞廟和農民博物館。當然也少不了議會宮，這是世界上第二大的建築 (繼五角大樓之後)。

One of the three principal islands of the Maltese archipelago, the island of Malta is the largest of the chain. Its capital Valletta, a lively, bustling city with many buildings dating back to the 16th century, teems with cathedrals, palaces and forts. The impressive Grand Harbour offers a dramatic arrival. The top archaeological attraction is the UNESCO-designated Hypogeum temple ruins, a macabre, 5400-square-foot underground necropolis and the world's only underground prehistoric temple.

East meets West in this sun-soaked state, where Indian culture intertwines with Portuguese influences left over from a 500-year occupation. The beaches have long served as a magnet for serene hedonists. To the north, the tourist-centric scene is prevalent, with an international flair that is now skewing more hip than hippie. Travel south for stretches of unspoiled sand and an escape from large resorts. Temples, mosques and wildlife sanctuaries provide diversions from the beach.
