Take a leisurely stroll through Spain’s most popular street where you’ll find numerous shops and restaurants offering something for every adventurous soul. Along the iconic thoroughfare is also Plaza del Callao, where you’ll find the majestic Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales. Exploring the monastery, you’ll find thousands of artworks by famous painters, all contained within the peace and tranquillity of its walls.

If you’re a connoisseur of theater, there are numerous places that you can visit such as the Lope de Vega Theater, Teatro Rialto, EDP Gran Vía Theater, and Teatro Muñoz Seca. Finally, there’s Calle de la Montera, where you can take a break from all the exploring with countless restaurants lined along the pedestrian-friendly street.

For a more local and offbeat experience of Paris, take a stroll or a boat ride along the Canal Saint-Martin, the quieter and more laid-back counterpart of River Seine. The 4.5km canal, of which 2km is underground, interweaves through charming boutiques, cafes, and vibrant neighbourhoods. It also boasts iconic canal locks, footbridges, and swing bridges. For a picturesque slice of Parisian life, travelers can head over to the Cité des Fleurs (City of Flowers), a pedestrian street located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the cobblestoned street is lined with quaint and colourful houses teeming with beautiful flowers and trees.

While a cemetery is unlikely to top any traveler’s bucket list, the Cimitero Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery) is worth a visit. An impressive outdoor museum spanning 250,000 square metres, it is known for its sculptures, monuments, and tombs, created by various renowned artists and architects.

Guided tours are available for those who wish to explore the cemetery’s history and artistic heritage. Cinephiles and dessert aficionados alike can then check out Bar Luce, a café designed by film director Wes Anderson. Inspired by Italian pop culture of the 1950s and 1960s, the bar’s design pays homage to the city itself as well as Milanese cafes of the past.
