  • Marché de la Batte
    Straddling the banks of the River Meuse, the Marché de la Batte is a hive of activity on a Sunday morning as keen shoppers search its colourful stalls for a bargain. Stretching from the quais sur Meuse to the quais Saint-Léonard, this bustling, mile-long street market is said to be Europe's oldest and draws people from far and wide with its unique appeal.
  • Olympic Museum
    As the seat of the Olympic Committee, Lausanne is home to this high-tech museum celebrating sporting achievements through the ages. A multimedia affair with a wealth of rare and fascinating items on show (Carl Lewis' shoe from the 1984 Olympics, for instance), the museum also boasts a massive collection of historical footage.
  • Yverdon-les-Bains Thermal Baths
    Enjoy a relaxing soak in Yverdon's outdoor mineral water baths, heated to the pleasant temperature of 34 degrees Celsius.
  • Antwerp Zoo
    Laid out on a site just outside the city walls in the mid-19th century, Antwerp's zoo is now at the heart of town next to the central station, making it a breeze to visit, even on a day trip from Brussels or Amsterdam.
  • Manneken-Pis
    This bizarre little statue is the most popular tourist attraction in Brussels. Famously touted as a glorious example of Belgian humour and capacity for self-mockery, there remains something ridiculous about the elevation of a small, peeing boy to the status of cultural icon.
