I live in Medellín Colombia and we have a lot of interesting non common places like old houses built hundred years ago as a castles in a neighborhood call Prado.

Ankara which, I live on, is the capital of Turkey. It has turned into the capital city after World War 1. It was previously a middle-sized city. It has many tucked away place. And also it is located many historical area im city. But it is well known only some of them. For example, Hacı Bektaş Complex is a little-known among domestic and foreign tourists. But except of this I don't know very well. Maybe there are any other places or gardens which mean gems :).

Yes, my country Bulgaria in fully with known and unknown places, we have many natural waterfalls, beaches and other view, which can stop your breathing :)

Places of interest such as major tourist attraction centres still remain unfamiliar to most citizens and even to the local inhabitants. Accessing them today is much easier than before; thanks to an improved transport and communication system. However, endless security issues and negative alterations of the ecosystem are key reasons why many thereof care less about their existence.

Yes, there is.

I live in Lausanne along the edge of the Lake of Geneva. Le lake is about 400 meters high and the land behind it is sloping. It goes up to about 900 meters at the Chalet-à-Gobet. There are a lot of rivers which flow on this slope et some of them have digged little valleys that can be deep enough. A good way of looking at places that few people visit is to explore those valleys. Usually, they are not proper to live in, so that there are no dwellings there in and, since there are no dwellings, you won't meet many people, only the ones who know and who like walking ... If you have the opportunity to come to Lausanne and if you feel like exploring, go to Ouchy and look for the river called la Vuachère. There is a good path that enables you to go up to Epalinges four hundred meters higher Have a good day!.

I guess Central park of Baku is the most known place where one can walk, run and play games. It has got a lot of attractions for kids and elderly. Along the park we have got some restaurants and hotels. It is situated rights in the heart of city. It is easy to reach this place both by public transport and car. Recently, it was modernised and opened to public in 2019.

I think, it's the best site for learning English. Thank you very much!

There is a beautiful manor house Gorenki in Balashikha(the city in Moscow region). It belonged to Count Razumovsky. In the 18th century, Gorenki was the largest and richest estate in the entire Moscow region. The style of the manor house is classicism. Unfortunately, nowadays our authorities don't want to restore that monument of architecture. It looks decrepit now but still beautiful. I'm pleased to live near the historic site.

yes, i have. it is the shrine of saint Barbara, who was the first in the village interred Christianity
