Cape Town is the second largest city of South Africa and is visited by tourist especially between October and March. One of the most popular tourist attractions is the Table Mountain, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront as well as the Long Street. The latter is an entertainment mile where there are bars and restaurants and also nightclubs. A further very popular tourist destination is the former prison island Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela ( 5 December 2013) was arrested. The Island belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.

Kefalonia

Kefalonia is a Greek island and the largest of the Ionian Islands. British tourists are well known for spending their summer vacation in Kefalonia. Many Italians enjoy spending their time on a boat here. The main attraction of the island is the underground lake Melissani with the cave of the same name. It is especially during lunchtime beautiful to look at because then a lot of daylight enters the grot. Another stalactite cave is very close and bears the name Drogarati. Out of the numerous beaches, the pebble beach Myrtos is to be recommended because this one is framed by a steep face which offers a beautiful view of the beach.

Saint Petersburg

Saint Petersburg is the second largest city of Russia behind Moscow. The city is famous for its so-called "white nights", this means that the daylight stays even at night. The nights are due to the special location of the city and occur during the time of midsummer. Furthermore, the Neva River which lies partly within Saint Petersburg, adds a romantic touch to the city. About 2,400 and this means 15% of the buildings in Saint Petersburg were classified as architectural history by the UNESCO. Especially worth seeing are the TV tower which is the highest building in the city and the Hermitage which is one of the most important art museums worldwide.
