How about scoring a parking spot right in front of your destination? Well, that’s the definition of Adelaide's best parks – but we're here to talk about parks of the greener variety. Here in South Australia, public gardens and playgrounds are a focal point of the city and its surrounds, thanks to some brilliant urban planning back in the 1800s.  As it happens, Adelaide was the first town in the world where parks were intended for public use. Before this, green spaces and grassy flats were an exclusive affair for royalty and private landowners. Fast forward to today, the city is home to some sublime parklands where both the young and the old can reap the benefits. Here are seven of Adelaide’s best parks to the north, south, east and west. 🌳 The best things to do in Adelaide right now🌊 Adelaide's best beaches to slip, slop, slap🥐 All the best bakeries in Adelaide

There are few things more satisfying than hunkering down with a bowl of piping hot noodle soup. The basic broth and noodle combination is a staple in so many cuisines for good reason. Apart from the obvious deliciousness, the steaminess and hydration factor help to relieve cold symptoms, it certainly helps that the broth is often laden with immunity-boosting ingredients like garlic and ginger. Not that we need an excuse.  Whether you prefer your bowl filled with rich tonkotsu, deeply herbal pho, or scattered with tongue-numbing Sichuan pepper, there’s no shortage of soupy goodness in Sydney.

The oldest single-screen theatre in Melbourne, the Astor in St Kilda has accumulated the kind of reputation every cinema dreams of – and a loyal fan base to boot. It’s a cinema in the grand, old manner, being in continuous operation since 1936. Beautiful gold curtains frame the screen; the entire experience feels like you’ve flashbacked to old Hollywood. The classic auditorium theatre boasts a program of new and classic films in 35mm, 70mm and digital formats and it’s a cultural hub for movie fans, with double features, remastered classics, new and independent movies, film festivals and special events. The Astor's own story could be the stuff of Hollywood, as the Art Deco building has been under threat from developers many times throughout its long years. Its most recent saviour was indie chain Palace Cinemas, which purchased the building in 2015 and remains committed to keeping the cinema as a single-screen picture house.  Manager Zak Hepburn has a long love of the theatre. “I grew up in Bacchus Marsh, where there was no cinema,” recalls Hepburn. “My mum first took me to the Astor to see The Beatles: Yellow Submarine. I was constantly asking my mother to drive me to the Astor, which was well over an hour and a half away, and I’ve been a regular patron ever since.” Hepburn re-affirms that Palace Cinemas is committed to maintaining the key aspects of the ‘Astor experience’. “The focus is very much on establishing a cultural hub for movie fans, with double features and remaster

Kings Park and Botanic Garden was crowned as Australia's very best tourist attraction in 2024. This 399.9-hectare urban oasis is one of the world's largest and most beautiful inner city parks, boasting some of the greatest views in Perth. Within it you'll find the Fraser Avenue Precinct (a century-old walk lined with red-flowering gums), more than 250 hectares of protected bushland, the State War Memorial, beautiful outdoor events spaces and playgrounds galore. The park's Indigenous history can be explored through heritage tours that showcase bush food and medicine, the Aboriginal Art Gallery, the stone Beedawong Amphitheatre and the Boodja Gnarning Walk. For thousands of years, Aboriginal people have been visiting the highest point of the park – known as Mooro Katta or Kaarta Gar-up – while the area below (Goonininup) was an important place for ceremonies, traditional stories and community gatherings. That sense of community and gathering continues within the park, with picnic tables and free electric barbecues dotted throughout. You can also hire many areas of the park, including gazebos, the Saw Avenue Amphitheatre, pavilions and lawn spaces. Free guided daily walks will guide you through the Botanic Garden, where you'll find more than 3,000 species of flora unique to Western Australia. The park's biodiversity is supported by strong research and conservation efforts, which includes initiatives like species recovery, woodlands restoration and an on-ground science team. Kids

La cantautora malagueña María Peláe se sube al escenario de La Riviera pomo parte de su gira Al baño María Tour. Un concierto en el que la artista presenta las canciones de su último trabajo, así como los éxitos de sus dos álbumes anteriores. 

Tolarno may be a successful commercial gallery, but this stimulating contemporary mainstay prides itself on unearthing and nurturing young Australian artists, showing them side-by-side with established talent. A home for contemporary art and design since the mid-20th century, it has inhabited several spaces over the years, but has found a fine home here on the corner of Flinders Lane. Director Jan Minchin came from the more traditional background at the National Gallery of Victoria, where she was curator of 20th Century Australian Art. At Tolarno she has enjoyed working with rule breakers and subversive thinkers such as Bill Henson and Ben Quilty. The days of Georges and Mirka Mora causing a ruckus with their art, film and performing confederacies remain in the resin, but today the focus is firmly on the gallery's diverse and well-respected stable of artists.

Trovadores del Jazz es un recorrido musical que rinde homenaje a los icónicos intérpretes de una época dorada para la música. Un joven muchacho que está anclado a la música del pasado, utiliza su imaginación para viajar en el tiempo y soñar que está en club de jazz de los años 50, donde sonaban los inolvidables «standards» de la música popular americana.  En su mente materializa el club ideal y a sus artistas: un excelente pianista y la «musa» del club quien le invitará a su escenario a cantar junto a ella.

'Come From Away' es un musical que trae desde Broadway hasta España The Stage Company. Multipremiado y un éxito rotundo en Broadway y Londres durante siete temporadas, se basa en un hecho real que tuvo lugar el fatídico 11 de septiembre de 2001. La obra narra una conmovedora historia que invita a imaginar que es posible un mundo más solidario y es que cuando Estados Unidos cerró su espacio aéreo, cientos de aviones fueron desviados y 38 de ellos aterrizaron inesperadamente en una isla de Canadá. Más de 7.000 personas llegaron a la isla de Gander, en New Foundland (Terranova) donde quedaron varados durante varios días. Mientras el mundo temblaba ante las atrocidades de los atentados, estos pasajeros recuperaron su fe en la humanidad gracias a la empatía, dedicación y calidez con la que les recibieron los habitantes de este pueblo. Un musical positivo, esperanzador y lleno de humor.

Coincidiendo con el 25 aniversario de su propia compañía, la prestigiosa bailaora gaditana Sara Baras presenta 'Vuela', un espectáculo en homenaje al maestro por antonomasia de la guitarra: Paco de Lucía, creado desde el respeto, el cariño y el amor que ambos compartían.

What is Moco?  Most of London’s art museums have been around for decades, even centuries, so the arrival of a new one is big news. Moco – a three-storey art gallery in Marble Arch housing the private collection of Kim and Lionel Logchies Prins plus some loans – is the latest to open its doors, and the question is: are those doors a portal to art hell, or a pathway to art ecstasy? The answer to that will depend on who you are, what you like, and your tolerance for portraits of the Queen. Assembled within the building’s freshly painted walls is a collection of some of the most divisive artists of modern times. Banksy, Hirst, Koons, Beeple, Murakami. Combine all that with the Warhols and Basquiats on display, an NFT room and an immersive mirror room, and you have a recipe for the poppiest, most #trending art space imaginable. This is Moco’s third outpost, joining permanent spaces in Amsterdam and Barcelona. What’s on display?  The opening room is an all-out pop assault: a trio of Jeff Koons works, some Damien Hirst dots, a wall of Keith Harings, a Yayoi Kusama painting, a full-size, crystal-studded Porsche by Daniel Arsham and a handful of Warhols. These are some of the most popular, most commercial artists of the past century, all packed relentlessly, eye-poppingly into a single room. Upstairs, they’ve squeezed a bunch of Banksys in next to a couple of Tracey Emin neons, a huge Murakami alongside a couple of KAWS works, a vast Julian Opie and a giant wall of multicolour portrai

No area of Kyoto is more closely linked with geisha than the historic former capital’s Gion. In this district indelibly infused with the graceful and vibrant culture of the geisha, where apprentice maiko can still be glimpsed on the streets, the new Gion Kagai Art Museum offers an unrivalled deep dive into their enchanting world. 画像提供： 祇園 花街芸術資料館 Gion Kagai Art Museum is located in the Gion Kobu quarter, which is said to be the largest geisha district in Kyoto. The refined classical building, which sits fronted by the calm waters of a pond, is set within an equally elegant garden complete with a traditional stone bridge.  画像提供：祇園 花街芸術資料館 Inside, a permanent display of objects that have been used by both geisha and maiko tangibly conveys the beauty and allure of their aesthetic. Among these exhibits are hand-painted kimono, obi woven in Kyoto’s Nishijin neighbourhood (which is renowned for its textiles) and makeup tools.  画像提供：祇園 花街芸術資料館 The sight of these kimono, spread out to fully reveal their intricate designs, will undoubtedly inspire a wish to see the same style of dress given form as part of a geisha performance. The museum is able to deliver on this desire, with a geisha (or maiko) giving a solo performance of the city’s traditional Kyomai dance five times each day. At certain times, it's also possible to take a commemorative photo with either a geisha or maiko (¥2,000 per group of up to five people, with a limit of 20 groups per session). There can surely be no

東京湾に面した「葛西臨海公園」と園内にある「葛西臨海水族園」は、1989年のオープン以来、多くの人々に愛されている。都内で学生時代を過ごした人なら、遠足で訪れたことがあるかもしれない。開園から35年を迎える2024年、両施設の魅力を伝えるべくアートイベント「海とつながる。アートをめぐる。― Harmony with Nature ―」が、東京都の主催により2024年8月2日から18日（日）まで開催している。 Photo: Kisa Toyoshimaガラスドーム 霧の海に浮かぶ名建築  「海とつながる」をテーマに掲げる葛西臨海水族園では、象徴的なガラスドームがミストに包まれ、海との一体感を感じさせる幻想的な空間を演出。風が穏やかな日に訪れると、ミストが建物にとどまり、高さ約20メートルのガラスドームが東京湾の上に浮かんでいるかのような光景が見られる。 風が吹いていても、ミストは体に触れるとひんやりと心地よく、涼をとることができる。また、子どもたちにとっては最高の遊び道具になるだろう。 さらに、8月11日（日）から14日（水）までは開園時間を3時間延長し、夜間イベント「Night of Wonder ～夜の不思議の水族園～」を開催する。水槽の照明を消して、魚たちと一緒に夜を迎えるという貴重な体験ができるので、ぜひチェックしてほしい。 Photo: Kisa Toyoshima蜷川実花 with EiM 『Garden of Sky(空の庭園)』 自然とアートの融合 葛西臨海公園では「アートをめぐる」をテーマに、有名アーティストたちの作品を展示。展望広場レストハウス「クリスタルビュー」では、蜷川実花 with EiMの作品が会場を鮮やかに彩る。 一つ一つ手作業で作ったという800個のパーツとクリスタルから成る『Garden of Sky（空の庭園）』は、ガラス張りの建物いっぱいに降り注ぐ光を反射してキラキラと輝く。写真家ならではの鋭い時間感覚が、その光のはかなさに現れている。 Photo: Kisa Toyoshima落合陽一『リキッドユニバース:向日葵の環世界のコペルニクス的転回』 Photo: Kisa Toyoshima河瀨直美による作品『隠されたもう一人の私。ひまわり畑での問いかけ』の1つ 「ダイヤと花の大観覧車」がある芝生広場に移動すると、一面にヒマワリ畑が広がっている。この夏らしい空間で展示を行うのが、落合陽一、河瀨直美、平子雄一の3人だ。4万本ものヒマワリが植わっている畑に反応するかのように、三者三様のアプローチで自然というテーマに取り組んだ作品が楽しめる。 葛西臨海公園まで足を延ばしたなら、建築もチェックしておきたい。クリスタルビューと葛西臨海水族園の設計は、「豊田市美術館」や「ギンザシックス（GINZA SIX）」を手がけた谷口吉生によるものだ。 Photo: Kisa Toyoshimaクリスタルビュー 自然環境と調和し、室内と屋外の境界を曖昧にするデザインが特徴の谷口の建築。透明感が高く、空に溶け込むような点で、両施設にも顕著に現れている。老朽化に伴い、水族園は2028年3月にリニューアルオープンを控えている。しかし、多くの人から愛されてきたガラスドームは保存される予定となっている。 複数の有名アーティストが参加しているため注目度は高いが、展示作品は多くない。そのため、葛西臨海公園の散歩や水族園などほかのイベントと併せて楽しむのをおすすめしたい。 また、日陰となる場所が少ないため、熱中症対策は万全

Fancy escaping into the clouds for a bit? Try a journey to the Jungfraujoch, a rail station sitting 3,454 metres above sea level (making it Europe’s highest, no less) and one that also happens to run to a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the stunning Jungfrau-Aletsch region of the Swiss Alps. As you might gather from all those credentials, this is a truly special journey that everyone should make at least once. You can find out more about this unique area at the official Jungfrau Railways website, but below we’ve given you some inspiration to get things underway. To get you started on this incredible trip, a multimedia tour greets visitors when arriving at the station, explaining how the pioneering Jungfrau Railway became a reality, step-by-step. It’s the perfect introduction to understanding this wonderful system, and also to ready you for the breathtaking Alpine scenery that’s coming up. This includes countless towering peaks – some measuring over 4,000 metres – and year-round coatings of snow. Image: © jungfrau.ch Undoubtedly one of the finest places to soak it all up is the Sphinx Terrace: a viewing platform attached to an international research station, offering superb vistas out across those snow-capped peaks, as well as a prime view of the Aletsch Glacier – the largest in the Alps. How to get to this acclaimed vantage point? A smooth and speedy lift that glides up 108 metres in just 25 seconds.  But remember that not all of the memorable sights are outdoors. Look careful

Until recently, Switzerland was something of a ‘hidden gem’ when it came to wine. While many of its neighbours have built up a reputation for wines over the centuries (we’re looking at you, France, Italy, Germany and Austria), Switzerland’s efforts were far more low-key, but that didn’t stop it from producing some excellent wines – something which is now being widely recognised. To toast the country’s vinicultural riches, here are some facts to give you a crash-course in Swiss wine. And if that whets your appetite for a quality tipple, start investigating Grape Escapes right now – Grape Escapes has opened up 60 accommodations in wine-producing hotspots around Switzerland, from retired wine barrels to ancient castles to cosy lodgings in the middle of the vines themselves. Learn more about Grape Escapes by clicking here. And now back to those facts. 1. Only 1% of Swiss wine is exported Image: Unsplash     You know how we mentioned that Swiss wine was a bit of a secret until recently? A big part of the reason why is because so little of it is exported. The Swiss – very wisely – like to keep their many superb wines to themselves, you see, meaning that relatively few people living outside of Switzerland have had a chance to really get to grips with it. So, for wine-lovers, a trip to Switzerland remains a very appealing prospect. 2. Switzerland produced almost 100 million litres of wine in 2022 Despite so little Swiss wine being imported, a fairly staggering 99 million litres of

1. Don't complain about how getting to North Sydney or Parramatta is too hard and can’t your mates just meet you in the city? There's a train for that and it's quite easy. 2. Stop moving in next door to live music venues and complaining about the noise. 3. Get to the front of the line at the Gelato Messina HQ, Malibu sandwich shop or Oti' pizza ready to order, no one likes a flavour waffler.  4. Pushing your way onto a train, tram or bus without waiting for people to disembark should be a punishable offence. 5. Save your car horn for its purpose, not because the car in front of you can't hear you going "tsk" with your mouth. 6. If you want to stand still on the escalator, stand to the left and give way to the right (and no standing side-by-side with a mate). You're forgiven if you're here from overseas, where it's the other way around. 7. Jog in the bike lane at Centennial Park by all means, but prepare to share, don't barge. 8. Attending a yoga class and leaving your phone on vibrate is pretty up there, especially if you let your Instagram stories play through so you can view them while you downward dog, ya dog.  9. If you're going to walk three-abreast, slowly, in the city, at lunchtime or right after work, expect some huffing and puffing behind you and move out of the way for the speed walkers. 10. Don't boast about how you'd never head north over the Bridge, despite the fact you'd willingly spend over an hour in traffic getting to Watsons Bay. 11. Swim fast if you're

James Bond doesn’t get much time for spas, but if he did, he’d need a seriously relaxing one – a spa that’s calming enough to make him forget about saving the world for a few hours. Bürgenstock Resort Lake Lucerne houses such a spa. If you want proof of just how Bond-worthy Bürgenstock Resort is, consider that the resort featured in perhaps the most iconic Bond film ever made – 1964’s ‘Goldfinger’, featuring scenes around the venue’s lavish, outdoor Hollywood pool. If you want to recreate some of that glamour during your visit, rest assured that there’s a poolside bar, in case the urge for a martini arises – shaken, not stirred, naturally. While Bond and co. certainly enjoyed their time at the hotel and spa back then (some of the cast and crew also stayed at the resort while filming), these days things have gotten even more impressive. Take the Alpine Spa infinity pool, for example. Here, you can even bathe in the sky. Or at least that’s what it feels like, thanks to the stunning, high-altitude views and the pool’s edge melting into the cliffside. Those views coupled with toasty, 35-degree water will make the world seem a lot better. Further aquatic wonders can be found in the Bürgenstock Alpine Spa. Here, you’ll be able to soak up the effects of 20 pools, plunge pools and steam rooms, waking yourself up with a refreshingly chilly 10-degree dip, before treating yourself to seriously soothing 60-degree water. Don’t miss the chance to float – seemingly weightless – in a saline

Propel yourself into the 2024 Olympic Games, whether or not you managed to get tickets, by visiting an upcoming temporary exhibition at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Opening on May 25, ‘Paris Olympique™: An Immersive Journey’ lets visitors put themselves in the shoes of former champions and discover how the Games have evolved over the centuries to become the world’s foremost sporting competition. This free and experiential exhibition is a chance to explore all three Parisian editions of the Olympic Games: 1900, 1924 and 2024. Large-scale projections provide a glimpse into past and present identities of the City of Light, or go deeper and step back in time 100 years to the Paris of 1924 through the wonders of augmented reality (AR). Using an AR portal, visitors can enter what was then Colombes Stadium (now Yves-du-Manoir Stadium) and marvel at historical imagery from the Olympic Museum’s archives.

Don’t worry, you can test your skills at this one virtually, so no swimming kit is required. The second sport is a little simpler, but not necessarily easier: rope climbing, taken from the Paris 1924 Games. Can you make a medal-wort
