[[Play Again]] Munich, located at the river Isar in the south of Bavaria, is famous for its beautiful architecture, fine culture, and the annual Oktoberfest beer celebration. Munich's cultural scene is second to none in Germany, with the museums even considered by some to outrank Berlin in quality.

[[Play Again]] Heidelberg is particularly well known for its castle ruins. Every year, thousands of tourists flock here from all over the world. ... Heidelberg is also famous for its university. Founded in 1386, Heidelberg University is the oldest university in Germany.
<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/Heidelberg_corr.jpg" width=600/>
[[Play Again]] The city was severely damaged during World War II. It was captured by U.S. troops and was the scene of the Nürnberg trials, the Allied trials of German war criminals. After World War II much of the city was redeveloped. Nürnberg is a major administrative and commercial centre, with specialized services.

[[Play Again]] This very old cathedral city on the river Rhine is one of the most important commercial and cultural centers in western Germany. Cologne (Köln in German) is famous for its 12 great Romanesque churches - especially the magnificent Cologne Cathedral - all an easy walk from the historic Old Town.

[[Play Again]] Rome (Roma) is the capital of Italy and most likely, your first stop in the country. Rome offers a dazzling variety of sights and experiences. At every turn, you'll discover ancient monuments, ornate medieval and Baroque churches, beautiful fountains, art-filled museums, and Renaissance palaces. The ancient Colosseum is one of the most iconic sites in the world, and modern Rome is a bustling and lively city and has some excellent restaurants and nightlife. Saint Peter's Square and the Vatican City are also easily visited when in Rome. We recommend at least 3 days in Rome.

[[Play Again]] Unlike anyplace else in the world, Venice (Venezia) is a unique city built on water in the middle of a lagoon. Venice is one of Italy's most beautiful and romantic cities as well as one of the most popular for visitors to Italy. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco with its magnificent church, Saint Mark's Basilica. There are numerous museums, palaces, and churches to visit, and wandering along Venice's canals and getting lost in its maze of narrow streets is always enchanting. Venice is in the northeast of Italy and historically was a bridge between East and West – its architecture retains a Byzantine feel not really found elsewhere in Italy.
<img src="https://www.tripsavvy.com/thmb/N-3H0vJoQwZEfdJk-UgnulxUWz0=/2256x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/DSC_0006-5c76c82946e0fb0001d83c74.jpg" width=600/>
[[Play Again]] Florence (Firenze) is one of Italy's most important Renaissance architectural and art centers. Its Duomo and Baptistery are magnificent but crowded with tourists, as is their large piazza. Florence has several excellent museums with many famous paintings and sculptures, including Michelangelo's "David" and Botticelli's "Birth of Venus." There are also Medici palaces and gardens. Florence is in the region of Tuscany and is the gateway for exploring Tuscany's smaller cities and countryside.

[[Play Again]] Milan (Milano), one of Europe's wealthiest cities, is known for stylish shops, galleries, and restaurants and has a faster pace of life than most Italian cities. It also has a rich artistic and cultural heritage. Its Gothic Duomo, with its beautiful marble facade, is magnificent. Da Vinci's painting of The Last Supper is one of Milan's top attractions and La Scala is one of the world's most famous opera houses.
<img src="https://www.tripsavvy.com/thmb/PzMkLyH8vpRLimTuw548odDZB6E=/3872x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/octagon-galleria-vittorio-emanuele-ii-159658619-58e23bff3df78c5162abffe8.jpg" width=600/>
[[Play Again]] Naples (Napoli) is one of Italy's most vibrant cities. It lies on the coast south of Rome and is the most important city in southern Italy. Naples retains much of its Baroque character and is a starting point for trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum and the Amalfi Coast. It holds many historical and artistic treasures, and is famous for its pizza and desserts!

[[Play Again]] Barcelona is without a doubt the most popular city to visit in Spain. With its Gaudi architecture and the vibrant city life, you can always find something to do, any time of the year. Las Ramblas is a bustling street that is surprisingly popular with both tourists and locals alike, but if you're looking to avoid crowds, head to the no less beautiful Gothic Quarter.
[[Play Again]] Madrid gets mixed reactions from many visitors as some find the pace of life and diversity of the city incredibly exciting, while others are daunted by its size. However, with no shortage of fun things to do, you will never get bored in this capital city, and due to its central location, it is easy to arrange several local day trips throughout your stay. For most tourists, the longer you spend in this capital city, the more likely you will end up enjoying it.
[[Play Again]] Salamanca, which is located about two-and-a-half hours northwest of Madrid, is a beautiful university town with strikingly uniform sandstone architecture, as well as the quirky Casa de las Conchas, a seashell-covered 16th-century Gothic palace.This city also has a gorgeous public square, Plaza Mayor, and the celebrated art museum, Casa Lis.
[[Play Again]] Santiago de Compostela is a popular destination for vacationers in visiting the shrine of apostle Saint James the Great in Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James). The cathedral that houses the shrine is one of the oldest and most beautiful in Spain, and the bucolic countryside surrounding it is also well worth seeing.
[[Play Again]] One thing is for sure: Seville is hot. Temperatures in this city in the summertime often reach 120ºF. Known for the Alcazar, a Moorish-Renaissance royal palace with stunningly beautiful gardens, the bell tower, Giralda, and the Maestranza, where bullfighting is still practiced.
[[Play Again]] Paris is one of the world’s most romantic and beautiful capital cities and with a population of around 2,250 is by far the largest city in France. Its iconic buildings are known the world over: The soaring Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the famous Latin Quarter on the Left Bank, the Champs-Elysées, and Montmartre.The capital's museums are among the best in the world, with the Louvre leading the way. And don’t forget the Centre Pompidou with its exciting contemporary art exhibitions, the fabulous collections of Impressionists and Post-Impressionists in the Musée d’Orsay, converted from a former railway station, and the less well known but superb Cluny Museum where medieval treasures like the 15th-century Lady and the Unicorn Tapestry are to be discovered. Then there are the small quartiers with their street markets and restaurants and bars where the locals hang out.Paris may be the capital but France is very regionally minded, and for a true taste of the country you need to explore other regions and cities.
[[Play Again]] The old capital of Provence is one of the south of France’s most charming cities. It has everything you would expect: architecture that takes you back to the 17th and 18th centuries, elegant patrician houses, and long tree-lined avenues where bubbling fountains keep the summer temperature cool.Old Aix is a great place to stroll through, centered around the famous Cours Mirabeau where the plane trees meet over the avenue lined with cafés and restaurants that spill out onto the pavements. Artists and writers who flocked to Aix met at the Café des Deux Garçons at no. 53.The cathedral St-Sauveur, the Quartier Mazarin, the Fondation Vasarely, and the Tapestry Museum are good places to step into. Then sit in a café or restaurant surrounded by locals and the students that make Aix such a lively city. The final great bonus is the famous open-air markets that fill the streets daily.Above all, Aix is the city of Paul Cézanne who was born and lived here. You can follow his life in Aix, then drive out to La Ste-Victoire, the mountain that the artist painted 60 times.
[[Play Again]] Amiens is best known for its cathedral; visit if you can during the summer months when the son-et-lumière (sound and light show) dances over the magnificent façade of the largest Gothic cathedral in France.Amiens has surprisingly attractive parts. The Quartier St-Leu just north of the cathedral is crisscrossed with canals and small houses of past textile workers. Once run-down, this is the place for the waterside bars and restaurants that make up some of Amiens' lively nightlife.And it’s the canals that water the strange hortillonnages (market gardens). It’s well worth taking a boat on a quiet trip through the blossoms of the fruit trees and fertile plots of land, still providing the locals with their fruit and veg.For culture, there’s the excellent Musée de Picardie with its huge Puvis de Chavannes paintings on the walls of the main stairwell, and a room, surprisingly, created by Sol le Witt. No wonder Amiens attracted Jules Verne who lived here for most of his life and died here in 1905. Fans visit his house, full of memorabilia and objects belonging to the writer.For families, there’s the theme park, Samara, showing how our distant ancestors lived in prehistoric times in north Europe.And finally, there’s a great Christmas market here as well as two enormous annual flea markets, one around Easter and the second on the first Sunday in October.
[[Play Again]] Once the Roman capital, then a religious center in the Middle Ages, Arles has a fascinating history. Its importance began when Julius Caesar took Marseille in 49 BC and Arles became commercially important, standing at a crossroads of major routes as well as providing a major port.Its great antique glory was the Roman Theater, built between 27-25 BC. There’s little left of the huge theater which could seat 12,000 people but it’s an impressive ruin.The other great Roman edifice is Les Arènes, an amphitheater of the 1st century with a capacity for 20,000 spectators, with cages for the animals and a huge backstage area. You can walk through the upper levels and watch bullfighting and opera from the tiered seats.The UNESCO World Heritage Site is in the Camargue, where cowboys on white horses round up the bulls in the strange marshy flatlands.Arles is near Avignon, Nimes, and Montpellier. It's also very near the strange city of Aigues-Mortes, built as a fortress port by Louis IX in the 13th century as a jumping off point for his departure on the Seventh Crusade, and still with its massive fortifications and towers.There's another great attraction to the north of Arles, the Carrières de Lumières near Les Baux-de-Provence, vast limestone quarries housing over large reproductions of the great Impressionist artists.In the Middle Ages, Arles was one of the major starting points for a pilgrimage to Compostela in Spain.
[[Play Again]] Stretching along the left back of the river Rhône, Avignon is regarded as the center of Provence where religion played a dramatic part and art flourished. Today it’s a beautiful, theatrical city with a lively arts scene and a famous annual Arts festival in July and August that recalls medieval pageants and uses the city’s splendid backdrop as its stage.A walled city with ramparts still standing, Avignon is best known for the huge Palais des Papes, built by the schismatic popes who started with Clement V, moving their headquarters from Rome to Avignon. From 1309 to 1377 seven French popes held power here. The Palace is a vast fortress of two buildings with audience rooms, courtyards, a treasury, banqueting hall and bedchambers displaying the wealth, power and love of comfort of those long-dead spiritual leaders.The other great site is the Pont d'Avignon, or Pont St-Bénézet, which stretches out into the river but doesn’t reach the opposite bank.There are museums for every taste, from the Museée du Petit Palais with a major collection of Italian paintings from the 13th to the 16th centuries to the decorative arts at the Musée Louis-Vouland; some great restaurants serving Provence cuisine, cafés with shaded outdoor terraces to pass the time of day and bars for a great nightlife.
[[Play Again]] Home of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, The British Museum and more British Icons, London is a world center of theatre, art, music, literature and culture. It's also a city of colorful markets, great shopping, green open spaces and a cosmopolitan culture.London is home to 7.5 million people, or 12.5 per cent of the UK's population. Not counting visitors, more than 1.5 million Londoners come from abroad. They speak 300 different languages. On top of its cosmopolitan locals, London welcomes more than 25 million visitors a year through its five airports, national rail stations and Eurostar terminal, the gateway to the continent.
[[Play Again]] Scotland's capital and the seat of its Parliament, Edinburgh combines the young and modern sensibilities of a great university city and national capital with a historic and dramatic setting. Here you'll find the world's biggest performing arts festival, a 1,000 year old castle and a mountain - Arthur's Seat - right in the middle of town. And, Edinburgh's annual New Year's celebration - Hogmanay - is four-day street party to end all street parties.Edinburgh has about half a million people people, including more than 62,000 university students. At least 13 million people visit every year. During the main festival month of August, the population of Edinburgh swells by more than one million, making it, temporarily, the UK's second largest city.
[[Play Again]] Manchester is often called the first modern city. In the 18th century this Northwestern city, 30 miles from Liverpool, was the cotton making capital of the world and one of the breeding grounds of the industrial revolution. Its entrepreneurs and industrial tycoons endowed it with museums, galleries, theatres and libraries as well as outstanding civic architecture. A devastating IRA bomb in 1996 created the need for city center regeneration resulting in a new, dramatic 21st century cityscape. Today, some of the most exciting architecture in Britain can be found in Manchester and the nearby Salford Quays area. Among the highlights are Bridgewater Hall, home of Manchester's Hallé Orchestra; Urbis, a glass curtain-walled exhibition center, and the Imperial War Museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind.
[[Play Again]] A combination of entrepreneurial daring and engineering know-how made Birmingham the manufacturing engine of Britain through the 19th century and most of the 20th. James Watt first commercially manufactured his steam engine here; the transatlantic cable and the Orient Express were Birmingham built, and this was the heartland of the British motor industry.Birmingham also has several tasty claims to fame. George Cadbury made his choccies here and his his Bourneville Estate was an early planned community. In more recent times, Birmingham has become the heartland of that Anglo-Punjabi speciality, Balti cuisine.With a population of more than a million, Birmingham is the UK's second largest city.It's a vibrant, multi-ethnic destination with a lively arts and music scene and some of England's best shopping. Its Selfridges - the company's first store outside of London, is an ultra-modern building that looks like it just landed from outer space.
[[Play Again]] Scotland's largest city and the third largest city in the UK, Glasgow's had long taken a back seat to Edinburgh with tourists and visitors. Its reputation as a rough, crime-ridden, dirty and hard drinking city put people off. But, since the mid 1980s, Glaswegians have worked hard to turn that image around.And they've succeeded.In 1995, Glasgow was European Capital of Culture. The award wasn't for the heritage culture that enlivens Edinburgh but for an entirely more contemporary vibe. And it keeps getting better. In 2008, Lonely Planet named Glasgow one of the top 10 cities for tourists. In the same year, the Mercer report, a quality of life survey, put Glasgow among the top 50 safest cities of the world. Nervous tourists note: that was more than 30 places higher than London.Today, Billy Connolly's home town is a hip destination for contemporary art, jazz, clubs, comedy, design and fashion (of both the chic and the gutsy street kind). It's also the gateway to the Western Highlands. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park is about half an hour away.
[[Play Again]] New York is the most-visited city in the United States. The city welcomed 59.7 visitors in the year 2016 alone. This city is located on the east coast of the country by the New York Harbor, where the Hudson River drains into the New York Bay and on to the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the most popular sights include the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and Central Park. For individuals interested in works of art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art offers over 2 million pieces and is a wonderful place to spend the afternoon. For a true New York City experience, visitors should include at least one of the many theater productions on Broadway Avenue in Manhattan.

[[Play Again]] The third most populated city in the United States is the second most visited, with 54.1 visitors passing by in 2016. Because the city is located on the shores of Lake Michigan, it experiences strong gusts of wind, giving it the nickname “Windy City.” Visitors here can enjoy an excellent arts scene, unique architecture, and extensive shopping opportunities. Art lovers should not miss the Art Institute of Chicago, which houses well over 100,000 works of art. Some of the most famous art exhibits here include Monet, Renoir, and Seurat. For those interested in architecture, the John Hancock Center, the Tribune Tower, and the Wrigley Building are must-sees. For a shopping and unique dining experience, the Navy Pier is perfect.

[[Play Again]] Atlanta is a major US city located in the north central Georgia. It saw 51 million tourists in 2016. This city is a major urban center of the southeastern region of the country. The two main tourist attractions in Atlanta are the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola. The Georgia Aquarium houses 10 million gallons of water and several thousand marine species. It was the largest aquarium in the world until 2012 when it was replaced by the Marine Life Park in Singapore. At the World of Coca-Cola, visitors can learn about the history of the Coca-Cola company. It also offers several interactive exhibits including a 1930’s soda fountain replica. For history buffs, the Atlanta History Center gives tours into American life between the 1860’s and 1920’s and the Michael C. Carlos Museum has one of the biggest collections of ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art in the southeastern region.

[[Play Again]] Anaheim is just outside of Los Angeles in Orange County, California. This city received 48.2 million tourists in 2016. Most of these individuals visit Disneyland, the first amusement park by Walt Disney. This park is divided into eight distinct lands including Main Street USA, Mickey’s Toontown, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, New Orleans Square, Star Wars Land, Frontierland, and Fantasyland. In addition, Anaheim offers visitors day trips to Catalina Island, whale watching tours, and Knott’s Berry Farm amusement parks.

[[Play Again]] Orlando is located in central Florida. It received 48 million visitors in 2016. The vast majority of tourists spend their time at Walt Disney World. Disney World has various golf courses, hotels, camping, two water parks, and four theme parks: Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot Center, and Magic Kingdom. Universal Studios is another popular attraction that provides visitors with several interactive experiences involving movies. For an educational element, tourists can also check out Gatorland, which has thousands of reptiles, and Kennedy Space Center, a NASA visitor area and space mission launch site.

[[Play Again]] Lying along a beautiful stretch of coastline on the Gulf of Mexico are the resort destinations of Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and the island of Cozumel, collectively known as the Mayan Riviera. This magnificent area on the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula attracts some five million visitors each year, in the process generating 20% or so of Mexico's total revenues. Despite these numbers, you're unlikely to feel like a part of the crowd due to the Riviera's wide beaches and endless crystal clear water. The area also boasts numerous fun activities such as dolphin and stingray swims, snorkeling among reefs and tropical fish, as well as scuba diving in the world's largest underwater museum, a spectacular collection of sculptures submerged at depths of up to eight meters. Then, of course, there's the region's many ancient Mayan ruins, with some of the closest sites within walking distance of the beaches, while the largest and most impressive - Chichén Itzá and Tulum - are just a few hours away.

[[Play Again]] Another of Mexico's increasingly popular beach destinations is the Pacific coastal city of Puerto Vallarta. Often shortened to just Vallarta, the city - many parts of which remain untouched by modern development - first appeared on the vacation radar in the 1960s as a playground for North America's social elite and has since become extremely popular among foreigners looking for second homes in a warmer climate. Nowadays, the city is as likely to attract an older cruise ship audience looking to swim with the dolphins as it is younger travelers looking for adventure, found here in activities as diverse as paragliding and jet-skiing. For those who like vacationing at a little slower pace, the city also boasts many locations to shop for arts and crafts or to simply stroll along pleasant beachside promenades with their many green spaces and sculptures.
<img src="https://www.planetware.com/photos-large/MEX/mexico-top-places-puerto-vallarta.jpg" width=600/>
[[Play Again]] At the southern tip of the beautiful Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos - often referred to as simply Cabo - is one of Mexico's top beach destinations. Consisting of a large stretch of coastline that extends from the towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo and known as the Los Cabos Corridor (Corredor Turistico), this 30-kilometer stretch of pristine beaches attracts visitors the world over for its clear waters, diving, snorkeling, and fishing (it also hosts the world's largest marlin contest).
