There are so many things to do, where do you know where to start?
If you are only passing through a region, or only have a day or two to explore, we've narrowed down what we consider our Top Spots to help you out. We aim to provide a hit-list of the Top 20 per region.
You'll note that many of these things are free activities (often overlooked by the glossy tourist brochures), but a member of our team has personally visited them and ranks them highly.
No business has paid us to appear in this segment, so be assured that any commercial activity that we may mention has got here on its own merit! As we experience new Top Spots, this list will change.
