Istanbul, Turkey
Istanbul is the fifth in the list of the most popular travel destinations - and no wonder! After all, this city is both European and Asian. Its history is fabulous: it was built by a Roman emperor, it was an inspiration for Agatha Christie and it started the tulip craze in the Netherlands by sending them the flower that originated here!
Edinburgh, Scotland
The second-biggest city and the capital of Scotland is a stunning and gripping place to go. Did you know that the first edition of the famous Encyclopedia Britannica was published here? And the Edinburgh castle was built on the extinct volcano! You'll love it here, because there's so much more to know!
Dublin, Ireland
Ireland isn't only about the gnomes, clovers and beer. Did you know it was home to the "Ulisse" author James Joyce? Or that "Dracula" creator Bram Stoker graduated the local Trinity College? Or that Dublin has the youngest population in Europe with those 25 and under being the half of it? Looks like you've got a lot to discover!
Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town is a wonderful city - the city of mountains you can call it! Here you can find more species of plants on one mountain than you can find in the entire UK! Oh, and it is also the real Fun City - the Africa's largest theme-dressing party called the Mother City Queer Project! So whoever you are - a biologist or a party-girl, you'll love it here.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio de Janeiro - what a romantic name! It means the River of January. However, the city's name actually hides a funny story: it was given after the river that had never existed. The Portuguese explorers must have taken Guanabara Bay for the river's mouth. Who would have known history is fun?
New York City, USA
New York is probably the most urban place you can imagine - that's why it is so beloved by the city lifestyle fans. A baby is born here every 4.4 minutes. And the population of NYC is bigger than in 39 of 50 American states! And so many TV-shows were filmed here you can't simply not visit this city!
Athens, Greece
Greece is simply the most wonderful tourist destination due to its long and rich history. Athens itself is a city to spend years at and make discoveries every day! Maybe you'll be the lucky one to find one of the original olive trees that were planted here in 1200! And visit all the 148 theater stages the city is home to!
Zermatt, Switzerland
Not the mainstream tourist destination, Zermatt is simply underestimated. How about the 94 spring water sources - the number is a total record in Europe! And the Swiss Food Festival that happens here in August? It is a lovely mixture of a hiking resort, lovely village and a modern city you'll fall in love with!
Lhasa, Tibet, China
It is not a surprise to know the meaning of the city's name which is "The Land of Gods" - its image fits the name perfectly! No wonder this lit with sunshine spot is one of the main Buddhist's attraction - by only looking at the picture you can see its divine atmosphere!
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Are you ready for the groove and siesta? Dancing, extremely tasty meat, colorful streets - it's Buenos Aires, baby! Did you know that tango originated here in the 19th century? Oh, and if you are a kissing fan, you better prepare your lips for some challenge - a kiss on the cheek is a greeting gesture here and simple "Hola!" won't do.
