The central square of Buenos Aires is the Plaza de Mayo, where protesters and mothers of those who disappeared during the period of the military dictatorship gather. Porteños, residents of the Argentine capital, proudly explain that the main avenue, Avenida 9 de Julio, is the widest street in the world.

In the winter morning, we take the Gorenje highway to Jesenice, where at the Hrušice exit we turn for Kranjska Gora. The door to the fairytale world of the Upper Sava Valley opens before us. White-washed peaks, rich forests, typical alpine villages and other charms mysteriously invite us to stop at least for a moment.
The city, whose old center was included in the list of world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1999, is rightly proud of the nickname "green heart of Austria" due to its extensive green areas.
The island republic of Maldives lies in the Indian Ocean, about 800 kilometers southwest of Sri Lanka. Coral islands are on average one to two meters above sea level and are surrounded by a lagoon. The Republic of Maldives consists of about 1,200 coral islands, which are divided into 26 groups of coral atolls.
The capital of Georgia, with a population of 1.3 million, is one of the oldest cities in Transcaucasia. The old part of the city, called Kala, developed under the fortress and extended to the Mktvari River. It is best to start exploring the old part of the city at the Metekhi church, where the history of the city also began.
Although the Middle East is considered the cradle of human civilization, Dubai doesn't offer much of the old. In the old Al Fahidi fortress and the former house of Sheikh Saed al Maktoum, photographs, maps and the past are exhibited, when the few inhabitants were engaged in building boats and searching for pearls.
We also sat down in front of the Meda pastry shop and bravely ordered the first spring ice cream. The Kočevska kepica, which is mixed at Med from all the types of ice cream they have available, was a really sweet fit. We crouched like martins on the sunny platform, from where the view stretches all the way to the parish church of St. Jerne.
You shouldn't go to New York without a well-prepared battle plan. Otherwise, you cannot get lost in the city, as it has a well and logically organized system of streets and avenues.
Although Postojna is known primarily for its karst wonders, it is also recommended to take a walk around the city. On a hill at the edge of the central square, the city church of St. Stephen with two bell towers, built at the end of the 18th century, dominates the center.
With fresh enthusiasm, we drive to Kranj and follow the signs for Jezerska, where Preddvor lies under the steep slopes of the Storžice mountain range. For more than nine centuries, the peaks of the Storžič mountain group have adorned it in the background as a mighty mountain backdrop, which makes many visitors want to climb them.
The most famous tourist spot in the city is the Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Church. It is really big, so you can see it from afar, especially in sunny weather, when its bronze domes glow blindingly.
Sevnica, a sprawling town along the Sava, which used to be given its rhythm by a railway station, where today an old steam locomotive with red collars is on display, is admittedly quite far from the capital, but that does not mean that it is not worth a visit.
