The town square of Hildesheim, Germany, is the poster child for, well, poster perfect (or picture-postcard perfect as the saying goes). Home to beautiful half-timbered buildings, a magical, magnificent Market Square, two UNESCO World Cultural Heritage-listed Romanesque churches, and fantastic you-have-to-see-them-to-believe-them Egyptian Antiquities in the Roemer-Pelizaeus Museum, Hildesheim is definitely worthy of its bucket list status for travellers the world over. Making this picturesque place all the more impressive though? The fact that on March 22, 1945, almost all of Hildesheim’s old town, including the town square and the building pictured here, was destroyed in an Allied air raid.

For those celebrating special occasions in 2020: big anniversaries, birthdays and honeymoons, we think that few other countries do luxury romance like the tiny tropical country of Costa Rica. With verdant nature, stylish high-end hotel options and sweeping vistas of jungle, ocean and mountains, Costa Rica is perfect for a memorable couple’s getaway. .

Toucans are some of the oddest looking birds on the planet. With their giant curved beaks and relatively small body size, you might think they will topple off the trees. Costa Rica is home to six species of toucans, including the keel-billed variety which are what most people might think of when they picture the unusual bird. With their brightly coloured bills and necks, they stand out against the rainforest landscape and are relatively easy to spot in the rainforests, even from a distance. For more on toucans and other wildlife in Costa Rica, see Matt Gannan from @tucantravel's post on A Luxury Travel Blog: Top 10 animals to spot in Costa Rica.

At the Manta Resort on the idyllic island of Pemba

At the Manta Resort on the idyllic island of Pemba, just off the coast of Zanzibar, you can sleep in an underwater room in your own private stretch of sea. The glass-cased chamber is plunged four metres beneath the surface, where you can spend the night with the fishes – a truly unique experience! Above you, the landing deck has a lounge and bathroom, with another deck above that for sunbathing, in between refreshing dips in the water. Meals of fresh fish will be brought to you, so you can dine in the middle of the sea. For this and other unusual places to stay around the world, see our blog post by Thomas Ryves from @exsustravel

See our post '5 reasons to The Three Peaks for a Winter holiday in the Dolomites'! One mountain with much to do in this unique Alpine destination, is Croda Rossa. Two cable cars reach this winterland with fun activities for children and adults.Known for it’s huge and friendly snowmen and for the small reindeer herd which visitors can help to feed. This mountain is also notorious for comprising the steepest slope in Italy! With a 72% incline, it is made up of two parts, the second steeper than the first. Here too you will find a suspenseful 5 km sledging trail which winds it’s way down the mountain through woods and fields.
