0:00:07 > 0:00:12This week on The Travel Show, I am in the far north of Sweden to visit
0:00:12 > 0:00:16the city on the move, literally, in one of the world's exist urban
0:00:16 > 0:00:23transformations.The mine is our heart. We wouldn't be here without
0:00:23 > 0:00:31it.We had to Croatia's capital to take a look around some of the
0:00:31 > 0:00:38city's most exclusive addresses.For ten days of the year, the doors of
0:00:38 > 0:00:41these architectural secrets are flung open to the public so that
0:00:41 > 0:00:46even commoners like me can go win and snoop around.And Lucy Hedges to
0:00:46 > 0:00:51the Southdown is in the UK to roadtest the latest in travel tech.
0:00:51 > 0:00:58I'm not 100% convinced. I think hardened hikers.Beginners? And
0:00:58 > 0:01:03restocking the nude for the latest in our global gourmet series. This
0:01:03 > 0:01:12week, a soup that is considered the national dish. -- and we stop in
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Bermuda.
0:01:34 > 0:01:41We start this week in Swedish Lapland, in a town some 1300 miles
0:01:41 > 0:01:48north of the capital, Stockholm. It is the jumping off point for
0:01:48 > 0:01:51tourists heading further into Lapland to see the Northern Lights
0:01:51 > 0:01:57in winter and the midnight sun in the summer. But what put the area on
0:01:57 > 0:02:02the map in the late 19th century was the discovery of iron ore, the most
0:02:02 > 0:02:07widely used metal on earth.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20All right. We just arrived at the largest underground iron ore mine in
0:02:20 > 0:02:24the world. The stats for this place are staggering. It produces enough
0:02:24 > 0:02:30iron ore to build 40,000 cars every day. That's the equivalent of six
0:02:30 > 0:02:38Eiffel Tower is. Right now we're 540m below zero point. I can feel my
0:02:38 > 0:02:42ease the starting to pop. This is the visitor centre as I'm going to
0:02:42 > 0:02:51look around. What have you got for me? The disused part of the mine has
0:02:51 > 0:02:55become a tourist attraction, giving visitors and insight into how the
0:02:55 > 0:02:59mine has evolved and expanded over the last century.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Today's modern machinery allows miners to blast the incredibly deep
0:03:08 > 0:03:18levels.Today, we are somewhere down there, at 1365 metres.Nearly a mile
0:03:18 > 0:03:22underground!Yes.That's astonishing.
0:03:25 > 0:03:32They produce 90% of Europe's iron ore here, worth billions of dollars.
0:03:32 > 0:03:43But for the early pioneers, things were a lot more basic.So, Ade, I
0:03:43 > 0:03:46want to show you how the first miners lift because when they came
0:03:46 > 0:03:51here in 1898, we didn't have any houses for them, so they had to
0:03:51 > 0:03:55build houses with whatever they could find in the forest. And it was
0:03:55 > 0:04:02called and it was draughty.-- cold. So how many people would live in
0:04:02 > 0:04:09this place?Big families. They could have four, five, six kids and live
0:04:09 > 0:04:13in this space.So you would have seven place in the -- seven people
0:04:13 > 0:04:17in the family and sometimes they would take on other people?Yes.The
0:04:17 > 0:04:20environment was harsh for those in this life. Could you imagine living
0:04:20 > 0:04:25in a house like this with temperatures dropping two -30
0:04:25 > 0:04:30degrees?Noway!It must have been hard for them to survive.Of course
0:04:30 > 0:04:35it was. Some of them died because they couldn't get enough food, it
0:04:35 > 0:04:40was called, it was draughty and for the small kids, well, some of them
0:04:40 > 0:04:47didn't survive this coldness.These days the mine employs 2300 people
0:04:47 > 0:04:51and there are 800 working underground, still in quite extreme
0:04:51 > 0:04:59conditions.Now we are going into the darkness.We are still at 540
0:04:59 > 0:05:05metres here?Yes, we are. Well, this is our common deck in the darkness,
0:05:05 > 0:05:11because the tunnels, it's dark, where the machines are working.It
0:05:11 > 0:05:16seems like there is an integer -- interdependency between the mine and
0:05:16 > 0:05:20people in the city.Well, the mine is our heart. We wouldn't be here
0:05:20 > 0:05:27without the mine.Today it's a bustling town, but the continuing
0:05:27 > 0:05:31expansion of the mine has this ever lies to the ground above it to the
0:05:31 > 0:05:36point where it it will eventually sink into a chasm. So the mining
0:05:36 > 0:05:42company have come up with a radical solution. They're going to move the
0:05:42 > 0:05:47town. That it mounted over their dominating the skyline is the centre
0:05:47 > 0:05:52of the mine. In that direction is where the sinking began. You can see
0:05:52 > 0:05:56how the Earth has just started to collapse and what is going to happen
0:05:56 > 0:06:00is eventually it will spread over their and everything you can see in
0:06:00 > 0:06:04that direction, all the houses, will collapse into that thing called and
0:06:04 > 0:06:09that's why they have to relocate the whole town -- sink hole. It's not
0:06:09 > 0:06:13the first time a city or town has been moved, but this is most
0:06:13 > 0:06:16certainly the biggest operation of its kind and I'm not sure how they
0:06:16 > 0:06:21are going to do it. In parts of the city, the bulldozers have already
0:06:21 > 0:06:27moved in and over the next two decades large areas of the town will
0:06:27 > 0:06:33also be demolished.We can't rebuild the whole town, we can't put too
0:06:33 > 0:06:38much money here now because in ten years it's going to be gone.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47And buildings that are too important to demolish are being uprooted whole
0:06:47 > 0:06:52and transported a few miles down the road. And the spectacle is
0:06:52 > 0:06:55attracting a new wave of visitors.
0:06:57 > 0:07:06It's pricey operation. The cost of the move is estimated at $2 billion.
0:07:06 > 0:07:13We are approximately 1.5 kilometres from the city centre and what you
0:07:13 > 0:07:17see behind us is the brand-new Townhall.So you're going to move
0:07:17 > 0:07:21everyone and the buildings from the city centre to hear?Not exactly
0:07:21 > 0:07:31everything. About 6000 people will be moving, because their houses and
0:07:31 > 0:07:36apartments will be affected.I've moved house three times. It's
0:07:36 > 0:07:40complicated. I can't imagine what it must be like to move a whole town or
0:07:40 > 0:07:46city and thousands of people.It's an incredible project, but we will
0:07:46 > 0:07:51move approximately 21 buildings, old wooden houses, et cetera.Do you
0:07:51 > 0:07:58believe this will be a better city once it has moved?I think so, yes.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Because there are so many functions that will be brand-new. The
0:08:02 > 0:08:06hospital, Townhall, schools, et cetera. So I'm very optimistic about
0:08:06 > 0:08:13it and I also like the location.But some of the buildings, like this
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Gothic style church, are too large to transport. It's going to be taken
0:08:18 > 0:08:24down by bit and rebuilt in the new location. It's been central to the
0:08:24 > 0:08:32community for generations.I was that little because I was baptised
0:08:32 > 0:08:40here and then the communion was here. When I was going to get
0:08:40 > 0:08:45married I was here too. Of course I want to put that further onto my
0:08:45 > 0:08:51kids. I think it's the most beautiful building in the world and
0:08:51 > 0:08:57just for a couple to walk this aisle, and everybody is looking at
0:08:57 > 0:09:01you, and you go upstairs and you see this beautiful picture, you can't
0:09:01 > 0:09:09even describe the feeling.And while it will be spared the wrecking ball,
0:09:09 > 0:09:13there are still mixed feelings about the changes.I would like to move
0:09:13 > 0:09:20all the old buildings because they are so nice and they are all, they
0:09:20 > 0:09:25are almost 100 years old, and this is our history.And in the future,
0:09:25 > 0:09:30maybe people will come here not for the mines but to visit the town that
0:09:30 > 0:09:35moved.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47Next up on The Travel Show, we had to Bermuda where fish chowder is a
0:09:47 > 0:09:51soup considered the national dish of the country in our latest Global
0:09:51 > 0:10:05Gourmet.I am a chef at a beach club in the new day. -- in Bermuda. Today
0:10:05 > 0:10:13I will make Bermuda fish chowder, a very famous local dish. It
0:10:13 > 0:10:21originated during the 17th century, with the first settlers in Bermuda.
0:10:21 > 0:10:29At that time, there was not a lot of refrigeration or any way of keeping
0:10:29 > 0:10:34food fresh for a long time, so to preserve the fish that they used to
0:10:34 > 0:10:39bring on the island they had to use rum and sherry peppers to make fish
0:10:39 > 0:10:44chowder. There are quite a few vegetables that go into the chowder.
0:10:44 > 0:10:51Peppers, some carrots, some ginger and don't forget to put celery. And
0:10:51 > 0:10:55they have to be all finely chopped. So basically you have to have onion,
0:10:55 > 0:11:04garlic. The best onion to use is the Bermuda red onion, which is locally
0:11:04 > 0:11:07produced and sweeter than regular onion. You start by sauteing all of
0:11:07 > 0:11:12the vegetables you have. The onion first until it is translucent, then
0:11:12 > 0:11:21add all of the other vegetables. Then you add your rum. So you need
0:11:21 > 0:11:31to cook off the alcohol. The rum just puts the flavour in the fish
0:11:31 > 0:11:34dish.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Let it all cooked together. You normally -- the longer you cook it,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48the better it is.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01I present to you a perfect Bermuda fish chowder.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11This is delicious!
0:12:16 > 0:12:22Still to come on The Travel Show, we check out the latest in travel
0:12:22 > 0:12:25gadgets and navigation aids. My nappies telling me I've gone a
0:12:25 > 0:12:35little bit off east but I'm still near the trail.Plus, Rajan heads to
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Croatia where for just ten days of the year the capital opened its
0:12:39 > 0:12:43doors to some of the most exclusive venues.A real person actually lives
0:12:43 > 0:12:50here? Yes.And they let us just come in for ten days in a row?So stay
0:12:50 > 0:12:56with us for that.
0:12:56 > 0:13:03The travel show. Your essential guide, wherever you are travelling.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09This is the South Downs, the UK's newest National Park. 200 square
0:13:09 > 0:13:12miles of hills crisscrossed with hiking trails and the perfect place
0:13:12 > 0:13:18to try out some tech. I have agreed to be blindfolded and driven to a
0:13:18 > 0:13:21random spot from where I will find myself back to civilisation and
0:13:21 > 0:13:27using only gadgets I have been given. What is in the bag?In Paire,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31we have some stuff that will get you back to where we have come from,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33safely.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40-- there. Also something that is things don't go according to plan,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44just to make your life a bit more comfortable. This is your stop. This
0:13:44 > 0:13:49is where I leave you. I'm heading back to the Royal Oak, about five
0:13:49 > 0:13:55minutes. It will be about one hour on foot for you. One thing. You will
0:13:55 > 0:14:01find you won't have phone signal. First up, a GPS watch with a music
0:14:01 > 0:14:05player, heart monitor and all sorts of features. It is the navigation I
0:14:05 > 0:14:09am particularly interested in. I'm presented with a rather basic
0:14:09 > 0:14:14version of a map. It gives me my trail in all of its entirety. As you
0:14:14 > 0:14:21can see, the arrow on the map, on the overview version, tells me that
0:14:21 > 0:14:28way. Yeah. That's the way. I'm a bit confused because there is a trail
0:14:28 > 0:14:33that way. Maybe if I walk down Bow Trail and then geared to the
0:14:33 > 0:14:38right... My map is telling me I have gone off-piste. I'm still the trail.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43For someone who uses things like Google Maps, it is not immediately
0:14:43 > 0:14:49obvious way to go. I'm not going to be too harsh on the adventure
0:14:49 > 0:14:53because I'm not a seasoned hiker that the user interface just wasn't
0:14:53 > 0:14:58as intuitive as I would have liked and even finding the map that then
0:14:58 > 0:15:02downloaded for me, it took me a while. One to many buttons. It does
0:15:02 > 0:15:07more than this, it has a built-in heart monitor, council steps,
0:15:07 > 0:15:12calories, altitude. I personally am not 100% convinced. Hardened hikers,
0:15:12 > 0:15:20beginners. A little break. Time to use the tech Ben Stokes in here.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25This comes with a pump, cups and flask for your hot water. I'm not
0:15:25 > 0:15:30the biggest fan of espresso but then doesn't need to know that. Carrying
0:15:30 > 0:15:36a the flask. It's pretty handy if you want something stronger, a
0:15:36 > 0:15:39portable espresso marker, pretty handy and easy to use once you have
0:15:39 > 0:15:48worked out what to do. All in all, massive thumbs up. Andy. Then has
0:15:48 > 0:15:54downloaded something I need. This app is available on the ILS and
0:15:54 > 0:15:56android and you can download hundreds of thousands of detailed
0:15:56 > 0:16:00maps anywhere in the world. The skyline feature is quite cool. If
0:16:00 > 0:16:05you point your camera in any direction, it will label it for you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11It could be points of interest. Not particularly in mountainous areas
0:16:11 > 0:16:17critical label mountains as well. If there is no Wi-Fi or you are out of
0:16:17 > 0:16:24phone signal you can rely on your phone's GPS. Cave eat is the maps
0:16:24 > 0:16:32are expensive. -- caveats. This cost us £24 for this high. That is a lot
0:16:32 > 0:16:37of money. There you are! I saw you look at your watch. You know I got a
0:16:37 > 0:16:43bit more than a bit lost at some point.I would always rely on a map
0:16:43 > 0:16:47and compass that usually if the technology works well, it makes life
0:16:47 > 0:16:54easier. I I think I deserve a drink. I think you deserve one as well for
0:16:54 > 0:17:07waiting for me. Next, Rajan has an invite to some of Zagreb's most
0:17:07 > 0:17:13amazing homes. On a hill is this historic neighbourhood. It is the
0:17:13 > 0:17:16oldest district in the city, filled with baroque palaces and courtyards
0:17:16 > 0:17:24that were built when Croatia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
0:17:24 > 0:17:34Today, here are some of their most grandest buildings. Ten days of the
0:17:34 > 0:17:37year, the doors of these architectural secrets are flung open
0:17:37 > 0:17:49to the public so that even common like me can go in snoop around. This
0:17:49 > 0:17:53is the courtyard festival where tourists and locals can see inside
0:17:53 > 0:18:04the city's walled palaces. Slug it is one of the organisers. Tell me
0:18:04 > 0:18:15about this particular place. -- Slavica. Irma this was built in at
0:18:15 > 0:18:24the 18th century. Later, it rebuilt in the 19th century. -- this was
0:18:24 > 0:18:29built.They all lived here until 1947 when this building became the
0:18:29 > 0:18:33state -- State archive of Zagreb and this is where the most important
0:18:33 > 0:18:39documents of Zagreb are kept.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Slavica takes me on a tour through the narrow streets and tells me why
0:18:56 > 0:19:00she started the project. This year, seven of the gated buildings were
0:19:00 > 0:19:04open to the public.Walking through the old town which is irreverent and
0:19:04 > 0:19:08shall area and it is usually quiet and not -- not a lot of people
0:19:08 > 0:19:12appear. You see all of these nice gate and you think what is behind.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16You know there are courtyards but you don't get a chance to see them
0:19:16 > 0:19:20as a regular person. Here is how the idea started. We wanted to open and
0:19:20 > 0:19:24wanted ourselves to feel the atmosphere and reinterpret some of
0:19:24 > 0:19:30the history and give some urban taste to it and make it accessible
0:19:30 > 0:19:37for all of our citizens and tourists.Some of the courtyards are
0:19:37 > 0:19:42now used as to state offices but others, like this one, are still
0:19:42 > 0:19:47private residences. A real person actually live here?Yes, a real
0:19:47 > 0:19:51person list here.And they let people come in and lounge about for
0:19:51 > 0:19:58ten days?Yes, they like us. Some of them come and have a drink with us
0:19:58 > 0:20:03in the evening. There is a famous actress who lives here. This person
0:20:03 > 0:20:13is on vacation, I think. It depends. By night, all of the squares are
0:20:13 > 0:20:22transformed into performance spaces. In ten days, we have more than 70
0:20:22 > 0:20:33concepts so it is every evening. Not just Croatian music. -- concepts. It
0:20:33 > 0:20:41is French, Latin, pop, R&B and classical. -- concerts.It is a
0:20:41 > 0:20:46surreal to see these spaces which was want home to 17th-century counts
0:20:46 > 0:20:53and nobles packed. It is the atmosphere that makes the festival.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58This festival is not just about buildings. It's not just about nice
0:20:58 > 0:21:03buildings.Definitely. It's about emotion. We want to make new love,
0:21:03 > 0:21:12new friendships. The main point is OK, we need to go down to someone's
0:21:12 > 0:21:17courtyard. Actually, you come to his home. Everyone who visits courtyard
0:21:17 > 0:21:29is say, OK, this is special. I will remember for the rest of my life.--
0:21:29 > 0:21:31courtyards.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Sadly, that is it your lot for this week. Make sure you join us next
0:21:41 > 0:21:43week when...
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Christer is in Paris looking at how the city is seeking to reverse
0:21:51 > 0:21:57tourism numbers to -- by reassuring visitors it is a safe place to
0:21:57 > 0:22:02visit.The most high profile project is here at the iconic Eiffel Tower.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Access to the bottom is restricted currently by these pretty ugly
0:22:06 > 0:22:11temporary barriers but the city has just begun construction on a series
0:22:11 > 0:22:17of 2.5 metre glass walls to protect tourists at the site.That his next
0:22:17 > 0:22:21week but keep up with us on the road in real-time by following us on
0:22:21 > 0:22:27social media. For now, from me, RDF that the town and all of the Travel
0:22:27 > 0:22:37Show team, here in Swedish Lapland, it is goodbye. -- Ade Adepitan.
