I am booking a trip to the Republic of Congo, and I am looking for some good tourist attractions. I am trying to have varied types of sites, and now I am looking for a site with some historic value to Congo. Does anyone have any ideas?

I want to know which are the most beautiful and which have the best tourist attractions, and historic landmarks.

I’m planning a trip this summer to Europe (flying into Dublin, leaving from Milan) for four weeks, was wondering if anyone has any interesting ideas of unique/off-the-beaten-path places to visit or activities to try. This will be my third visit, so I have already seen the major tourist attractions/cities (Paris, Berlin, London, etc.) and would like to try something new. Any info. on festivals this July/August would be greatly appreciated as well!
