A guide to discovering the city's secret places

The complete enjoyment of a place, in most cases, is linked to the knowledge, and subsequent experimentation, of all the activities that that same location is able to offer, both in terms of practical amusements - such as all those activities that require the physical involvement of the individual - and in terms of all those abstract activities that primarily involve the mind, intellect and emotions of the person experiencing them.

This problem, in most cases, arises especially for travellers, for all those who, on holiday or even just for pleasure, spend a few days away from their usual residence, perhaps in a foreign country. All of them leave with the secret fear of not being able to fully enjoy their holiday, of not being able to sample, even for a few minutes, all the entertainment and leisure opportunities offered by a certain place or city. To avert this fear, almost everyone scrambles to draw up a programme of activities for those few days he or she will spend in that particular place, confusingly inserting into it all those activities and sources of entertainment that he or she was able to hastily find in some travel guide, particularly online.

Local beauties

The inevitable result, for all these people, will be the loss of precious opportunities related to the most genuine entertainment enclosed in the folds of any location, almost always accessible for free or for a very small price, and carrying with them all the traditions and ancient charm of the place to which they belong. The real news is that in any place, in any city, there are places that are rarely mentioned in tourist guides, and that are only visited by travellers or the curious who happen to be there by chance, and who, after finishing their visit, leave with a wonderful feeling of fulfilment in their hearts. These are all those hidden or little-known places that represent the true essence of a territory, and in which is enclosed the entire heritage of values and experience of the land that hosts them.

The charm of hidden places

Sometimes, even the locals do not know about these places. Have you ever stopped to reflect on the fact that you, too, have probably not yet explored the most hidden and mysterious corners of your city? Within one of these you might find a location that can take your breath away and change your perspective on your hometown forever, giving you a privileged vantage point you had never known before. The common characteristic of these places, located in every corner of the world, is that they are completely free: almost all of them are freely accessible, without spending a single penny. There are such places in Swindon too, and every one of them is there waiting to be discovered, loved and appreciated. Instead of heading, like everyone else, to Lydiard Park or Stanton Park, pick up your city map and head to a street you've never been to (surely there must be one). Let yourself be enraptured by what you will see there, by what you will feel when you come across something that moves you, and allow that feeling to envelop you completely. You will never have experienced anything like it.

To improve your knowledge of where you are, or where you want to spend a few days of your holiday, we also strongly recommend harnessing the power of the online world, and in particular of all those apps that specialise in tourist services and the best places to visit. With a bit of luck, you will also be able to find little-known destinations that will thrill you from the first moment, and cost you practically nothing. Cheap entertainment is best known online, where you can find exciting entertainment opportunities at a very low price. Nowadays, there are even online portals that allow users to try out their games even with $1 deposit casino, and that require no special effort to complete the registration procedure (in fact, it is very simple). Just as with secret places to discover and visit, these online gambling portals also offer exciting sources of entertainment that require only a very small initial investment, and that open the magical doors of safe and perfectly legal online entertainment to every player, choosing from an astonishing number of casino sites that cater to virtually every taste.

Accessing the best entertainment opportunities is extremely simple, and in some cases almost completely free. All you have to do is open your eyes and start looking around, never forgetting the potential contained in the small shiny device you carry in your pocket.
