Reach for the stars at the Euro Space Center. Find out everything you need to know about space — from the origins of the space to the future exploration plans. Light, sound and special effects help to bring your space tour to life. Throughout your tour, our specially trained guides will answer your questions and provide you with any information you need.

Begin your tour with our exhibition (展览) about the planets, then move on to the Space Lab and see some of the experiments done in space. After that, visit our international space station, where you can climb into our Space Shuttle model and experience life on board as an astronaut (宇航员).

You will know all about space by now and, to help you further, our Space Center astronaut will tell you about how young people train as astronauts in our training school. Finally, you can watch our amazing Space Show in our IMAX cinema. It will give support to everything you have learned during your visit.

Outside we have a large car and coach park (no charge), and an outdoor exhibition including a solar system, full-size rocket models, a huge sundial and outdoor games. Don’t worry if it rains — much of this is under cover.

After that, why not visit our restaurant Resto Space for food and drink on a space theme (主题)? And don’t forget our Space Shop, offering you different kinds of gifts to take home.

Euro Space Center

B-6890 Transinne, Belgium

We’re having an amazing time here in South Africa. Our accommodation is perfect. It is in a location     1     we can watch animals wandering past on their way to the waterhole. Sunset is the time of day     2     we sit on the balcony (阳台) and count how many giraffes or antelopes we can see. I guess this is the reason why this place is so popular. Next week we     3     (fly) up to Zambia. That’s one of the     4     (country) where you can visit the famous Victoria Fails.

9 . Amsterdam Destination Guide

Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museums, cycling culture and so on. It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the “Venice of the North” because of its expansive system of bridges and canals. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.

Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cnyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit there are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum.

There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam, and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a center for celebrity spotting and nightlife today. The Plantage area has most of the city’s museums, including the Jewish Historical Museum, the Scheepvaart Museum, and the botanical gardens.

●Unless you really want to see the tulips blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.

●Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.

●Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.

●Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city,

10 . Britain is arguably the great walking nation. About two-thirds of us already head out to stretch our legs once a week. The following festivals offer a wealth of organized walks, but walkers should register in advance.

Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festival

Visitors to Wales tend to move west, to either the well-worn tracks of Snowdonia or the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. There are 25 walks packed into the three days, with various options available, including a half-mile Roman-themed adventure, an eight-mile walk exploring the life of 18th-century Welsh naturalist and travel writer Thomas Pennant and a 21-mile Offa’s Dyke challenge. All walks are free.

Denbighshire, Wales, 19-21 May

Otley walking festival

This local festival has grown from humble origins in 2000 into a busy schedule of 50 short-distance walks and events celebrating the lives and landscapes of Wharfedale in West Yorkshire. One might enjoy the Five Pubs Walk, Walking With Wine, Four More Pubs or Lost Pubs of Otley. All walks are free, though there is sometimes a small charge for transport.

Otley, West Yorkshire, 24 June-3 July

Dartmoor offroading walking festival

Dartmoor delights (使高兴) walkers because, while tracks are there to be followed, the lack of wire and other barriers, and the relatively small number of farm buildings on the higher ground, create a sensation of freedom. The six free wheelchair walks, starting daily at 11am, explore Dartmoor’s industrial history, bronze age valuables and Victorian railway builders.

Devon, 27 August-2 September

Gower walking festival

With more superb walking options inside a single landscape than perhaps anywhere else, the Gower peninsula (半岛) sometimes feels as if it’s all coast. The further information for this nine-day festival, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Wales Coast Path (WCP), has yet to be finalized. Half of the walks offered during the festival will be on the coastal path, £10 adults, over-sixes £6.

Glamorgan, 2-10 September
