Destinations
ROME F I UMI C I NO
Feeling thirsty? Make your way to
craft brewery Doppio Malto on via
Poli, not far from the Trevi Fountain. It’s
a gastropub styled with exposed pipes,
rust-coloured tables and walls and a
copper-lined bar, creating a warm interior.
There’s a varied menu, ranging from bar
snacks such as fried aubergine, onion rings
or panzerotti, to foccacia with various
fillings, burgers, spare ribs, lasagne, salads
and a kids’ menu, too. Try their special
beer-infused capon (galletto alla birra)
with oven-cooked potato wedges. Of
course you can’t leave without sampling
one or two of the 15 Doppio Malto house
beers they brew here.
RODEZ
For some watery family fun, head
for the Aquavallon Aquatic Centre.
There’s a leisure pool with geysers,
waterfalls, a counter-current stream
and swan-neck jets, plus an area for
toddlers with a whole range of water jets
and a water slide. As well as swimming,
adults can keep fit in the cardio-training
room, weights room, rowing machine,
bikes, running mats and stepper. Then,
enjoy all the benefits of the hammam,
Jacuzzi, sauna and a rest area with music.
Admission is €5.25 for adults and €3.75 for
children; kids three and under are free.
PRAGUE
Still a relative newcomer, the
boutique Cosmopolitan Hotel makes
a glamorous impression, from the
uniformed doorman at the entrance,
to the lobby’s white marble floor and
mirrored walls. It offers comfortable rooms
in muted colours and a convenient
location. There’s the Next Door restaurant,
by celebrity Chef Zdenek Pohlreich,
which provides a modern take on Czech
cuisine as well as hearty, American-style
breakfasts in the mornings. Book an
executive room or suite direct and you’ll
receive a free bottle of sparkling wine!
RENNES
For something a little different, head
to Forêt Adrénaline Rennes adventure
park. They have treetop trails to suit
different ages and abilities, from two-
year-olds to adults. If you’re feeling brave,
you can also try out their new attraction,
the TrampÔforest, where you leap and
bounce on a giant net suspended nine
metres above the ground. As well as
the activities, you can climb trees and
picnic. A 2.5-hour session in the adventure
park costs €22 for an adult (14+). Open
Wednesdays and at weekends. Booking is
advised.
SOUTHAMPTON
As a major port, Southampton’s past and present is indelibly linked to the sea, and its
impressive SeaCity Museum has many fascinating stories to tell. One of them is all about
the Titanic disaster – more than 500 local families lost a loved one. In Southampton’s
Titanic Story you can find out about this, hear oral testimony from the survivors and see
a pocket watch found on the body of a steward and an original life jacket. Another
permanent exhibition, Gateway to the World, explores who came to Southampton and why
– from Roman traders to Victorian industrialists. Alongside this, the museum presents rolling
exhibitions – currently, We March On charts the fortunes of Southampton Football Club – and
a varied programme of events. On the first Saturday of the month visitors (12 and over) can
also take the clock tower tour, which was built in the early 1930s, and climb its 200 steps.
