Arashiyama Rilakkuma Tea House
A must visit if you're a fan of Rilakkuma. The tea house consists of a large shop on the ground floor selling a wide range of products across apparel to good, and the tea house above. Due to its popularity, be prepared to wait for up to 2 hours during mealtimes if you wish to dine on deftly crafted Rilakkuma-shaped food.
The food, while cute and visually appealing, is decent at best. If you're after taste, you'd be better off in other nearby restaurants.

Il Gelatone Roma
We stumbled across this gelataria (amongst the many in Rome) and this did not disappoint! They have an amazing range of flavours from rich decadent ones to refreshing fruity ones which was perfect for the warm spring day.
Loved the passion fruit and mixed berries which was instantly refreshing and intensely fruity. My friends who had the classic Italian flavours like pistachio were very happy with them too.
Best of all, the portion is generous and really affordable!

Tignes station de ski
Having been to the relatively nearby Les Trois Vallées, I can say Tignes is comparable in many ways and offering a ski experience on par with its more premium cousin.
The resort boasts a large piste playground stretching over several key areas from the family-friendly Tignes (Le Lac, Val Claret, 1800) to the more advanced terrain of Val d'Isère with a wide range of pistes for different skill levels. Runs are great as they're groomed daily and the slopes receive tons of powder. Weather conditions can vary drastically throughout the week but we experienced some of the best conditions during our time with lots of bluebird days. And just as you think the snow's getting a little packed, fresh snow gets dumped to refresh the pistes. The resort is generally well-connected, allowing you to easily reach new areas to explore - otherwise, they have frequent shuttle buses that go between major stops around the resort.
The town is very walkable and has a decent range of dining options both on and off piste throughout the day and to kick back après ski.
Overall, it's a great resort with lots to offer for beginners and experts alike!

Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Biagio
Beautiful site with a great view of the surrounding Orcia Valley
Mosè di Michelangelo
Less well known than some of the more popular sites in Rome but no less impressive, Mose Di Michaelangelo is an exquisite monument featuring the sculpture of Moses as imagined with "horns". It's not very crowded so it'll definitely let you take the time to appreciate the artistry.
