DESTINATIONS
» Eger and Hollókő (Hungary): you absolutely have to discover Eger, which, after Budapest, is perhaps Hungary’s most beautiful town and also the village of Hollókö which is classed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
» Mama Shelter (Paris): a cross between boutique hotel and upmarket youth hostel, Mama Shelter is located in a peripheral Parisian neighbourhood, not far from the Boulevard Périphérique.
WEEKEND IDEAS

Remarks Founded in 1653 by King Frederik III and open to the public since 1793, the Royal Library has been somewhat rejuvenated by its contemporary annex (1999). It quickly became known to Danes as "the black diamond" because of its dazzling façade of shiny black granite and glass. On the first level is an exhibition hall containing manuscripts and original editions of works by famous writers (HC Andersen, S Kierkegaard, K Blixen), as well as certain handwritten scores by composer Carl Nielsen.
