Dijon - discover the secrets of the dukes of Burgundy.

DijonDijon is very well-known for its mustard, but Burgundy's beautiful capital has much more to offer than just mustard! Here you can discover the secrets of the dukes of Burgundy and find the treasures we inherited from their enormous realm. Dijon's unique heritage value is acknowledged by the fact that the city is nestled within one of France's largest protected areas.

Come to Dijon if you want to enjoy culture, gastronomy and sightseeing while living an authentically French “savoir-vivre” experience. Don't rush; take your time walking around the ancient streets of our historic city centre, visit one of our seven museums or-why not-taste the world-renowned Dijon mustard with a fine meal on one of our guided gastronomic tours. Did you know that Burgundy produces some of the best wines in the world? Taste them for yourself on an excursion through the most famous vineyards in Burgundy.

Make things easy by enjoying the many tourist attractions of Dijon and the wine-growing area of the Côte de Nuits with the “Dijon-Côte de Nuits Pass”. The Pass is available for 24, 48 or 72 hours, and gives you privileged access to over 35 sites, monuments and guided tours, as well as free access to public transport and discounts in about 60 shops in the city centre.

TurkuCard - An Ace in your Hand

TurkuFinland's oldest city has been a centre for commerce, culture and meetings of every kind for centuries, and now we are looking forward to being the European Capital of Culture in 2011. But why wait until then? There is already so much to see and do.

This summer, Turku hosts a wide range of fantastic events. The Medieval Market from June 25th-29th is a window to the past, with plays, music, food and performances. For music lovers there are concerts and music festivals. In July, we feature the second-oldest rock festival in Europe, Ruisrock, and DBTL, the rock festival in the city. The sports enthusiasts among you will be interested in the Women's UEFA Championship matches, played in August and September.

Best of is the spectacular sailing event, the Tall Ships Baltic Races, which will be held in Turku from the 23rd to the 26th of July. The beautiful ships will arrive in record numbers, right to the heart of the city, on the river Aura. So far, 123 vessels have confirmed their arrival and 21 of them are grade-A sailing ships.
