From African safaris to must-visit cities, these once-in-a-lifetime travel destinations will make you want to plan your next great adventure. What’s next on your travel list? With so many places worth traveling to, it can be hard to narrow down your top spots to visit. Sometimes, it’s the famous attractions, delicious food, and stunning hotels that draw us to a certain destination, and other times, it’s the bragging rights that come with checking off every continent, country, or state. So, what makes a trip truly life-changing? That depends on the traveler.
Italy
Deciding between the historic cities of Rome, Venice, Naples, and Florence for the top destination to visit in Italy feels impossible, so the entire country deserves a spot on your list. Start in the Eternal City and head north through the rolling hills of Tuscany to visit Florence, followed by Milan or Venice, or go south to the beaches of the beautiful Amalfi Coast and Sicily.
New York, New York
Visiting the Statue of Liberty, standing at the top of the Empire State Building, walking across the Brooklyn Bridge: These are just a few of the things you can only do in New York City. Whether you dream of visiting all the places you’ve seen on screen, catching a Broadway show, or eating your way through the city’s diverse neighborhoods, there’s no doubt that NYC deserves a spot on your list.
Tokyo, Japan
Old and new come together in Japan’s bustling capital city. Historic temples and shrines, busy shopping districts, delicious food, a huge music scene, and some of the world’s best theme parks and attractions — whatever your interests, there’s something for you in Tokyo.
Paris, France
From watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle and viewing famous works of art at world-renowned museums to eating delicious French pastries, there are innumerable reasons that Paris deserves a spot on your list. Of course, other dreamy French destinations like Mont-Saint-Michel, Chamonix, and the Riviera are well worth a visit, too.
