Perugia

Perugia is the provincial capital of Umbria, one of Italy’s most beautiful regions.

Randers

Randers, on the Jutland peninsula, is the sixth-largest city of Denmark, and a destination with many attractions, events, and exhibitions to choose from.

The main tourist attraction, the Randers Tropical Zoo, with its largest artificial rain forest in Northern Europe, attracts many visitors every year.
