For anyone with a passion for jazz, no matter how long the stay in Johannesburg, a trip to the city’s Bassline jazz club could put the evening on a high note.

Situated along Henry Nxumalo Street in Johannesburg’s Newtown district, the Bassline jazz club is a bigger and better venue, offering partygoers a mixture of jazz, rock and even afro-pop.

Previously located in Melville, the new venue offers a whole new feel that really is worth calling home about.

"Downtown Johannesburg is a little less frightening than it used to be," said the Economist.

"The area around the Market Theatre in Newtown was refurbished a few years ago with French aid money and is now sparkling, with many popular clubs nearby."

The club first opened in 1994 and has played host to a number of stars, including Zim Ngqawana, Moses Molelekwa and Jimmy Dludlu.

For fans of art, a visit to the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo should be top of anyone’s agenda, no matter how long the stay in the Brazilian city.

Located within the Jardim Paulista district of the city, along Avenida Paulista, the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo is still regarded as the city’s finest museum for art and visitors should not be put off by any reports of declining visitor numbers.

Open from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 17:00 local time, the venue is more than worthy of a call home.

"Nobody comes to Sao Paulo for the sightseeing. The ugly urban sprawl that sprang up in the late 20th century has obliterated almost all vestiges of the colonial town that preceded it," cautions the Economist.

"The city does, however, have several good art galleries."

Among the finest exhibitions at the museum are those including the works of Picasso, Turner and Renoir.

For anyone with a passion for good food and great ambience, no matter how long the stay in Dubai, a dinner or two at the Glasshouse is an absolute must.

Located within walking distance from Maktoum Street, Deira, the Glasshouse is a fantastic venue, offering delicious food in an environment that is both cool and refined.

The strong emphasis placed upon glass and steel fixtures and fittings really is something special to call home about.

"Dubai’s restaurants are not confined to its five-star hotels: there are some decent dry outlets scattered around town and an increasing number of independent cafes," said the Economist.

"But if you’re looking for a proper meal, the alcohol laws dictate that you’re likely to be walking through a lobby on your way to the table."

Among the highlights of the menu are lobster and the equally delicious belly of pork.

For those visiting Berlin, in need of something a little out of the ordinary, a visit to the city’s Orient Lounge should be at the top of the list of things to do.

Located along Oranienstrasse, within the Kreuzberg district of Berlin, although the Orient Lounge is not the easiest venue to locate, once inside the visitor can enjoy an atmosphere filled with water pipes, delicious cocktails - and equally enticing aromas.

"Berlin is the heart of modern Germany, with a stoic beat that echoes through grand public buildings, glorious museums and theatres, urbane restaurants, bustling pubs and raucous nightclubs," said Lonely Planet.

"It’s a city that thrives on change and that has made a virtue out of reinventing itself."

Any one of the dishes which feature on the Orient Lounge’s Turkish menu are a must - and more than worthy of a call home on the way back to the hotel.

Visitors to Hong Kong looking for something a little different may wish to make a little excursion to Macau for a little flutter.

Easily accessible by boat from the island’s district of Sheung Wan, travel to Macau can take less than an hour, leaving plenty of time to relive famous casino scenes from any number of classic films.

Formally known as the Macau Special Administrative Region, the territory borders the Guangdong province and is home to a number of different industries, including toys and textiles.

"Today’s Macau woos commerce and tourism like never before, taking a tradition of gambling to new extremes," said Lonely Planet.

"While the proliferation of mega-casinos means there’s plenty of places to try your hand with Lady Luck, many of Macau’s pleasures are relaxed and laidback."

From Macau, the view of the Pearl River Delta really is worth a call home.

And for those in need of refreshment, a dinner or two at Fernando’s comes highly recommended.
