Augusta Raurica
In its heyday, 1800 years ago, 20,000 people lived in the Roman town of Augusta Raurica, 15km from Basle. Many of the traces left behind by the native Celtic inhabitants and the Roman conquerors have now been excavated and are accessible to the public in the largest open-air archaeological museum in north-west Switzerland.
Q-Jazz Club & Bar
This rather snazzy bar has live jazz every night. It is a part of an extremely smart five-star complex in a converted Sultan's palace, otherwise known as the Ciragin Palace Hotel. It's free to go into the club, but you must buy a drink.
Fox Glacier & Lake Matheson
There are two particularly fabulous glaciers in New Zealand - Franz Joseph and Fox. However, Franz Joseph doesn't boast immediate proximity to one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, Lake Matheson, so Fox gets the top vote.
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.
Atomium
The Atomium, a giant model of the atomic lattice of iron crystals (magnified 165 million times), was built for the 1958 World Fair by engineer André Waterkeyn in celebration of scientific progress, and is a distinctive and quirky landmark in Brussels.
