The Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son) are a cluster of five unusual limestone and marble green peaks that rise dramatically from the flat landscape of a 200-year-old settlement in central Vietnam. Completely surrounded by the Non Nuoc Stone craft village – known for its ancient stone workshops and marble sculpture stores -, the mountains overlook and define the coastal area along the East Vietnam Sea.

Here’s my guide to exploring the magnificent peaks and lush forests of the Marble Mountains in one day. From wandering through ancient Buddhist temples and hidden caves filled with Vietnamese art to taking extraordinary hikes in one of the most unique natural settings. A day trip to the Marble Mountains is truly a must when visiting Da Nang.

One Day in Seville Itinerary: Best Andalusian Food, Art & Architecture

Getting ready for spending one day in Seville?

As the city is the one and only, excessively charming capital of the southern Spain province of Andalusia, the experience of a day trip to Seville can be quite massive. That’s why the one-day guide below is meant to help you plan your visit to the smallest detail.

You’ll find Seville as one urban Andalusian mix of centuries-old architectural marvels, fully immersed in lush vegetation, jasmine scents and the passionate rhythms of flamenco. At its very core known as the the labyrinthic Barrio de Santa Cruz a Moorish-Renaissance palace and a gigantic Gothic cathedral reign.

For me, Seville has always had the air of a vintage postcard. Tallest palms I have ever seen, Mediterranean wildflowers scattered at their feet, quirky fine art, colorful ceramics and intricate archways of the ancient buildings, plus the guitar melodies floating above the cobblestone streets, make Sevilla one the most romantic cities in Europe. Durable through time, though so delicate.
