If you're visiting Paris for the Olympics this yea

If you're visiting Paris for the Olympics this year or at any other time, for that matter, make sure you take a stroll in the Marais area. Walk through this portal, and you'll find yourself in the Place des Vosges.

It is the oldest square in Paris and was a sought-after but expensive place to live in during the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, it's a popular place for locals to gather, whether it be for a picnic on the lawn or a coffee in one of the arcaded cafes.

Author Victor Hugo lived there, and his house is now a museum that you can visit for free.

Seville has so much to see and do that it's easy to miss this gem, Casa de Pilatos.

After the Alcazar, it's the city's next most beautiful palace. It dates back to the 16th century and is very well preserved. You'll find amazing courtyards, beautiful manicured gardens, and a stunning tiled interior. And, very few tourists!

Remember to include it on your list of places to visit while you're in Seville.

The statues of prominent kings lining one of the paths in the perfectly manicured Plaza de Oriente in Madrid. The most prominent is the bronze statue of King Felipe IV in the centre of the park.

Plaza de Oriente stands in front of the regal Palacio de Real and is a beautiful spot to wander or just sit and soak up the atmosphere.

We can't resist returning every time we visit Madrid. One of our favourite things to do is to pick up some snacks and a bottle of wine from the Mercado de San Miguel and sit under the shade to enjoy while watching the activity around us.

Montpellier in southern France. Only 10km inland

Montpellier in southern France.

Only 10km inland from the Mediterranean Sea and in the heart of the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region, we found discovered a city rich in history and full of monuments, landmarks and elegant buildings.

The joys of pottering about in the back streets of little towns and villages.

It's just one of the benefits of slow travel where you can appreciate the beauty and essence of a country. We find it's much more pleasurable than rushing from one major attraction to another.

This shot was taken in the walled town of Volterra, south of Florence. If you happen to visit Volterra, walk to the lookout on the walls at the end of the town. On a clear day, it's possible to see the island of Corsica in the distance.

We came across this group of ballerinas in front of the Cathedral Maria Santissma Asunta e S.Oronzo in Lecce.

Lecce can be found at the heel of Italy and is an undiscovered Italian jewel. It's an open-air museum full of beautiful Baroque sandstone buildings to be found around every corner.

Cities like Lecce get overlooked by most international tourists who prefer to flock to cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice. If you're looking for somewhere unique, make sure you include Lecce on your Italian itinerary.

A public holiday in Queensland meant a slow start

A public holiday in Queensland meant a slow start to the day for many of us.

We took the opportunity to drive beachside for a walk this morning and found many out and about enjoying water activities.

Just a 40-minute drive from Brisbane city, the Redlandshire has a laidback atmosphere, which makes you feel you're miles away on holiday. It's also the gateway to the many beautiful islands dotted along the coastline.

Be sure to visit this gem when you're in Brisbane.

Flashback to staying in the charming French city of Dinan.

If you're contemplating whether you should include it on your itinerary, think of a medieval town with half timbered house ramparts, a 14th-century castle, and cobblestone streets like this one to wander down to the marina for a walk along the River Rance.

Pula Arena, the Roman amphitheatre in Pula, Croatia.

The amphitheatre is one of the world's six largest surviving Roman arenas. It's particularly unique because it's the only Roman amphitheatre that has it for towers preserved.

The arena stands by Pula's waterfront, and if you happen to visit in the summer, you may be fortunate to go to one of the many concert, ballet, or opera performances held inside.
