If you think Prague is beautiful in summer, wait until you see the winter months: the gothic architecture of the city provides the perfect backdrop to enjoy sweetened cakes and roast ham, warm up with hot wine and enjoy some shopping.

For lovers of heat,
Tanzania's most famous tropical island is known for its spices and luminescent waters that bathe the golden beaches.
