1 NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AUSTRALIA On the shores of Lake Burley Griffin (the manmade lake that is the town’s centrepiece) lies the National Museum of Australia. This showstopping collection of artefacts, interactive displays and gardens tells the story of Australia through the ages. Visitors learn about its history through innovative exhibits enhanced by lights, motion and sound.

With free entry, you can easily spend an entire day here surrounded by life-size dinosaur skeletons, crocodiles bigger than a car, aboriginal paintings and photography that show the effect of climate change in the southern hemisphere. The newest addition is this summer’s opening of the Great Southern Land gallery with more than 2,100 objects and experiences showcasing all that makes Australia what it is today.

The museum’s convenience to the central business district (CBD), Parliament House and popular hotels like the Hyatt Regency is a real boon when your schedule is tight. nma.gov.au

2 PARLIAMENT HOUSE Also near the city’s famous lake is Parliament House, the centre of Australian government. If you have a free afternoon why not spend time perusing the impressive collection of art, photography and portraits of past lawmakers in the public areas.

The rail thing - Why airlines and train companies are partnering to increase options for travellers on short journeys

An intercity flight connection operated by train would have been almost unthinkable in the early 1990s, but in 2024 it will increasingly be the default experience at many European hub airports. European nations have been among the world's leaders in adopting high-speed rail for short-distance trips, along with Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Adventures in Albania - From paranoid dictatorship to dream travel destination, why the Balkan nation is ready for its moment in the sun

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
