Things to see and do
Here's our list of the best things to see and do in Lovia, from castles to courthouses and everything in between! Note that some attractions, such as governmental buildings closed to the public, and smaller shopping malls, have not been included on our list

Sylvania
Lovia's largest and most powerful state, home to national capital Noble City, and many hills and forests. Sylvania is home to many interesting landmarks and scenic villages.

Noble City
No trip to Lovia would be complete without a visit to its capital, which is considered the gateway to Lovia. The city is home to many distinct neighbourhoods, each with their own character and feel, ranging from the green and peaceful Little Frisco, to the bustling Downtown. Be sure to spend as much time as possible in Noble City, to really get a feel of its diverse and unique attractions. So, here are the best things to see and do in Noble City.


 * Artista- A quiet and arty part of Noble City, with many beautiful, green and open spaces
 * Painters Hill- Beautiful, serene hill with outstanding views of the city. Worth a visit to admire the vistas of the city, or just to relax after a hectic day of sightseeing
 * Fountain Love- A romantic fountain and its surrounding park. Doesn't sound romantic but the name makes it romantic! A nice place to rest and relax.
 * Sand Garden- Perhaps the best place to go in Artista, a stunning Japanese rock garden, with Buddhist influences. Is home to many unique features, such as pagodas and temples. One of the best to go in Noble City if you want peace and harmony. Don't take small children here though, as excessive noise is not allowed, in order to respect the peaceful atmosphere.


 * Bayside- A wealthy, urban neighborhood, benefiting from its close proximity to Noble Beach. The district's museums and upmarket shops should definitely not be missed!
 * Antiquities Museum- Certainly considered one of Lovia's best museums- it is easy to see why the Antiquities Museum is nicknamed "Lovia's Louvre". Features many impressive Roman artefacts, in addition to stunning Impressionist and Medieval art.
 * Museum of Art- Sister institute to the above, the Museum of Art. Highlights include pieces by Andy Warhol and Piet Mondrian, as well a fascinating gallery about wartime art and propaganda.
 * West Wing- An extension of the Museum of Art, with many more modern paintings, including works by Escher and Pollock.
 * Plaza Gallery- An old shopping center, mostly empty apart from a Remy St-Jacques store, selling fine watches and jewelry. Even if you're not in the mood for shopping, it's worth a look just for admiring the fine architecture.


 * Citizen Corner- Formerly a quiet, residential district, Citizen Corner has been invigorated into a bustling administrative neighborhood. It is home to two museums, both of which are very interesting for traveler and local alike.
 * Museum of Lovian History- A well-known museum documenting Lovia's history and arts. Highlights include a Moai Statue, and the Namibian Bronze Mask.
 * Starovlah Institute- A museum, gallery and library rolled into one, and dedicated to the culture of the Balkans. Features many medieval manuscripts and paintings. It won't appeal to kids, but for adults, it could prove fascinating!


 * Downtown- The heart and soul of Noble City, Downtown is home to tens of governmental institutions, as well as the Capitol and the residence of the Prime Minister, Oos Wes Ilava.
 * The Capitol- The center of Lovia's government, as well as its most popular tourist attraction. Guided tours are available for those who want to admire the building's beautiful architecture, or simply see Lovia's government in action.
 * National Archives- An impressive neo-greek building, this is the home of Lovia's governmental records. Interesting to see, but don't stay here too long unless you want to spend your vacation browsing police records and legislative bills.
 * Old State Courthouse- Yet another building with impressive architecture! Once a bustling center of justice, since the closing of state courts, the courthouse has become a convention center and lecture hall. Worth a look, even if you just walk by to admire the building itself.
 * 12 Democracy Avenue- The home and office of the Lovian Prime Minister, and a very impressive building too! It isn't possible to enter, but still interesting to see.
 * Botanica- Even the most intrepid explorer would need a rest after seeing this string of imposing buildings! So simply take a stroll, feed the ducks and contemplate this impressive city in these serene botanical gardens.
 * Congress Field- A quiet picnic spot in Downtown Noble City, which is also home to the annual Mid-Summer Congressional Picnic, where in the past, pop icon Lady Gaga has been seen mingling with MOTCs. However, Gaga is unlikely to be there when you are, so you can sit back and enjoy your sandwiches without any disco sticks and meat dresses!
