They offer a different kind of tour of Northern Thailand. With your own private guide they show you how the locals and hill tribes live - not the tourist version of it. What's more, they care about the communities they visit and give something back to them.

This is a guided bike tour for discovering Nice.

The tour passed all Nice's main attractions. The guide explained Nice's history during the tour, and answered all questiones sufficiently which were put to him during the tour. The tour is three hours long and included a free coffee (or beer).

The guide also pointed out all the best bars and restaurants for different tastes on the tour - from cheap n cheerful to regional cuisine and top-end romantic.

A great way to orientate yourself in Nice and see it from some fantastic angles.

This is a fascinating museum with some wonderful exhibits. The highlight is probably the collection of sarcophagi discovered in 1887 at Sidon in Lebanon. The "Sarcophagus of the Mourning Women" has wonderful decorative friezes and the remarkable Alexandria Sarcophagus is covered in intricate raised friezes on which some of the original colours can still be seen.
There is a collection of fine Roman statues and in the Museum of the Ancient Orient colourful glazed brick friezes from Babylon.

*CLOSED FOR REFURBISHMENT UNTIL 2009*
Above the colonnaded arcades of the ground floor of the Sukiennice is a branch of the National Museum housing 19th and early 20th Century paintings by Polish artists.

Historical and romantic subjects are housed alongside symbolist paintings. Huge canvases such as 'Nero's Torches' by Henryk Siemiradzki and 'Four-in-Hand' - a wonderful study of power and speed - by Jozef Chelmonski dominate and impress with their artistry and scope.

The gallery is not large so it doesn't take long to look around, however, the quality of the art displayed creates an interesting and evocative exhibition.

Well worth a visit, a small gallery that will linger long in the memory.

Knicknamed "Citta dell' Acqua", this great little archaeological site is in a quiet street just behind the Trevi Fountain. For two euros you can examine the excavations of several levels in an ancient Roman residential area plus enjoy a little exhibition that explains the excavations and their finds.

Vicolo del Puttarello, 25 (it's a small street, near Via dei Modelli and the Trevi Fountain
