It\u2019s truly a place of peace and calm in the city,\u201d suggests Durango. \u201cThen wander into the small boutiques nearby, such as Cocol for local crafts and ceramics, and Casa Hernanz for espadrilles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For lunch, opt for a meal at one of the sidewalk caf\u00e9s in the Chueca neighbourhood before exploring one of Madrid\u2019s little-known jewels: the 17th-century baroque Church of San Antonio de los Alemanes. \u201cIt\u2019s unassuming from the outside, but once you walk in, you\u2019re surrounded by frescoes,\u201d says Durango.<\/p>\n<p>On your way back to the Hotel, stop by the Monastery of Las Carboneras for a bag of traditional sweets and pastries. \u201cThey\u2019re handmade by the cloistered nuns, who sell them through a panelled counter because they can\u2019t be seen,\u201d notes Durango. Then, end your day with a signature gin and ginger-infused Flamenco cocktail at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/madrid\/dining\/restaurants\/dani\/\">Dani<\/a> on the Hotel\u2019s rooftop terrace, watching the sun set as you admire the beautiful views of the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ONLY AT FOUR SEASONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hotel also offers exclusive experiences you\u2019ll only find at Four Seasons.

Order the fresh filets de perches at Le Passe Franc, where the owner serves wine from his vineyards in the South of France.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For another scenic option, take a walking tour through the cobblestone streets of Old Town and visit the most ancient rooftop in Geneva: the 12th-century Saint Pierre Cathedral. After you\u2019ve climbed back down those 157 steps, have traditional fondue lunch on the terrace of the iconic Restaurant Les Armures. Then wrap up your day with a lakeside bike tour that\u2019ll also take you past the Palais des Nations, headquarters for the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>Have some extra time? \u201cSpend your last day in the mountains,\u201d recommends Mercier. \u201cBoard the famous Belle Epoque steamer for a ride on the lake or the contemporary GoldenPass Panoramic train for a scenic, two-and-a-half-hour journey to Glacier 3000 for a hike that will cross the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glacier3000.ch\/en\/activities\/peak-walk-by-tissot-suspension-bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peak Walk by Tissot<\/a> \u2013 a suspension bridge connecting two mountain summits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ONLY AT FOUR SEASONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a one-of-a-kind souvenir, the Hotel\u2019s concierge team can arrange for a private visit to nearby Swiss watchmakers, including the prestigious Roger Dubuis Haute Horlogerie atelier.

To see some of the area\u2019s best florals, Pascut recommends taking a short drive from the Hotel to the beautifully restored house and gardens of natural history pioneer Gilbert White. After taking in the aromas of the quintessentially British gardens, travel the natural world through the collection of explorer and naturalist Frank Oates, as well as that of Lawrence Oates, who was part of the fateful Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole, notes Pascut.<\/p>\n<p>To go even further back in history, Pascut recommends visiting the historic city of Winchester and taking a walk around the towering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winchester-cathedral.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Winchester Cathedral<\/a>, where centuries of events left their mark. \u201cI recommend going first thing in the morning on a weekday to avoid the crowds. Start off with a guided tour, where you\u2019ll learn about Winchester during Anglo-Saxon times, what changed when the Normans invaded, and the many characters and events that shaped England\u2019s history.\u201d Have the Hotel arrange for a curated itinerary to make your time spent exploring even more personalized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ONLY AT FOUR SEASONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With a nod to its countryside setting, the Hotel offers several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hampshire\/experiences\/\">unique outdoor experiences<\/a>, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hampshire\/experiences\/wildlife-experiences\/horse-riding-hack\/\">English-style horseback riding<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hampshire\/experiences\/country-pursuit\/archery\/\">archery<\/a> and taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/hampshire\/experiences\/extraordinary-experiences\/highclere-castle-experience\/\">traditional hawk walk with a falconry expert and a real Harris hawk<\/a>.

It offers great views, as well as narrow, charming alleys with hidden spots for strudel, art or simple souvenirs,\u201d he says. Buday also recommends a visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.mng.hu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hungarian National Gallery<\/a>, currently housed in the former Royal Palace, to see the incredible collection of works by Hungarian artists from the 11th century to present day.<\/p>\n<p>While Matthias Church and the Fisherman\u2019s Bastion are on everyone\u2019s must-see list, there are also plenty of hidden gems, such as the 18th-century buildings on the western and eastern sides of Castle Hill and Szalag stairway, a winding path of tree-lined steps leading to the bottom of the hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCity Park features excellent playgrounds for kids and plenty of green areas, too,\u201d says Buday. \u201cGo see the fairy tale\u2013like 19th-century Vajdahunyad Castle and take a boat ride around its adjacent lake. Just a few steps away is the charming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoobudapest.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Budapest Zoo<\/a> with its houses built in different architectural styles, something that both animal lovers and architecture enthusiasts will enjoy.\u201d After the zoo, consider taking a hot-air balloon ride in the Varosliget Ballon, suggests Buday. A short ride takes you up 150 metres and offers one of the best views of the city.<\/p>\n<p>As night falls, the romance of the city comes alive. \u201cA stroll along the Danube, whether on the Pest side or the Buda side of the city, and crossing its many bridges, is equally romantic and breathtaking \u2013 especially at night, when the city lights are reflected in the river,\u201d says Buday. Walk up to Gellert Hill for a panoramic view of Budapest, or take a leisurely walk along the river from Gresham Palace to the Central Market Hall, or the other way from Gresham Palace to the Parliament Building.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ONLY AT FOUR SEASONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ready to venture a little farther afield? Have the Hotel arrange for a road trip to Etyek \u2013 a small village outside of Budapest that produces some of the country\u2019s best wines \u2013 where you can taste some of the best varietals.
