Experts from all disciplines take the time to answer your questions - in free guided tours and demonstrations offered daily. Understand with all your senses What is genetic engineering? Why do researchers explore the deep sea? You can find the answers in the Deutsches Museum. Demonstrations, experiments and models invite you to participate and try them out. Founded in 1903, the Deutsches Museum, with its precious collection of valuable objects, is one of the most important technology and science museums in the world. It shows masterpieces of natural science and technology at four locations: in the main building on Museum Island, in the traffic center on Theresienhöhe, in the Schleißheim airship yard and in the German Museum Bonn. Towards new worlds In the major future initiative, the exhibitions on Museum Island will be fundamentally renewed in two sections by 2025 and the building will be brought up to date with the latest technology. During the modernization, at least half of the exhibition space with many highlights remains open. If you wanted to see all areas on this 25000 sqm, you would have to walk 9 km.

      Christina

    The Maasai are a semi-nomadic people who live in close harmony with nature, often sharing their surroundings with wild animals. On this tour, you’ll visit a traditional Maasai village (manyatta) and learn about their daily life, cattle herding, and sustainable practices. Experience the famous Maasai dances and songs, including the warrior’s “jumping dance” (Adumu), and see how their homes are built from natural materials like mud, sticks, and cow-dung. You’ll also get a chance to observe or try traditional crafts, such as beadwork or fire-making, and gain insight into their rich cultural heritage. This visit is not only educational and immersive but also supports the local community, as many tours contribute directly to village initiatives. Remember to respect local customs, ask before taking photos, and enjoy this authentic encounter with one of Africa’s most iconic cultures.

    Sunset at Pedra do Arpoador

    • Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
    • sunset-at-pedra-do-arpoador
      Anne Gianes

    One of my favorite things to do in Rio is to take an afternoon stroll along the beautiful beaches of Ipanema and Arpoador. There’s nothing quite like sipping fresh coconut water while unwinding and watching the breathtaking sunset. It’s a cherished tradition among the locals, who celebrate the moment the sun dips behind the mountains with applause. I always take my non-local friends there, and they never regret it—they always thank me for sharing such a magical experience with them.

    Battery Park is one of Lower Manhattan’s hidden gems. While most people rush to the Statue of Liberty ferry, I love slowing down and enjoying the waterfront views, gardens, and peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of the best spots in NYC to take a break from the city’s fast pace.
