  4. Hjejlen

    The Hjejlen, the world’s oldest operating paddle steamer, has been faithfully plying the waters of the Lake District since it was first launched in 1861. These days the boat shuttles tourists from Silkeborg to the foot of Himmelbjerget during the summer season (10am and 2pm daily, July to mid-August). The operators have other boats regularly plying the same route during this period, and from May to September. The route (adult one way/return 75/105kr, 1¼ hours) takes in a wealth of river and lake scenery and is one of the most popular outings in the Lake District.

This stadium is part of a larger complex that was the main venue for the 1980 Olympics. Besides the giant stadium, Luzhniki includes a collection of swimming pools, ice-hockey rink, tennis courts and other facilities, which are used by casual and professional athletes alike.

  13. Vinopolis

    Vinopolis, spread over a hectare of Victorian railway vaults in Bankside, provides a fairly sketchy tour of the world of wine, but it’s interesting enough. You need to follow the audioguide to make sense of the exhibits, which introduce visitors to the history of wine-making, vineyards and grape varietals, regional characteristics and which wine goes with which food. All tours involve sampling at least five wines at various tasting stops along the way.
