Indonesia comprises over 17,500 islands so it’s unlikely that a top ten is going to be that comprehensive. There are many things that can be done on several of the islands so if you don’t get to, for example; surf on a particular island, there’s always more! The country itself has a huge population - the fourth largest in the world, yet many places seem deserted. Much of what there is to see and do revolves around the natural environment and the religious and cultural history of the country.

The Czech Republic is full of fairy tale castles set in ancient cities. It’s also home to great cuisine and of course some of the world’s finest beer. Most people who visit the country limit their experience to Prague but so many other towns and cities are worthy of visiting and give a taste of what Prague was like before mass tourism hit the city. We particularly recommend Brno and Olomouc but try out some of the others and be surprised by the timeless beauty of the country.
