Practical guidesIn Monaco, distance can be deceptive: the challenge is not crossing the map but connecting different levels. This route links La Condamine, Monaco-Ville and Monte-Carlo using mechanised passages, buses and green breaks.

CultureIn Cienfuegos, the useful question is not how many monuments you can fit into a stop from Trinidad, but which part of the city best reveals its urban planning, port connections and plant-rich surroundings.
