What are our favorite travel destinations? Our best places to travel are ones that have a bit of everything, from architecture and history to nature and adventure.

Argentina

There’s more to this giant country than its steak and wine, once you start exploring. From the peaks of Patagonia to the posh cafes of Buenos Aires, it’s hard to get bored in Argentina.
Chicago

What are the best things to see on a trip to Chicago? We’ll tell you the coolest places to take photos, along with a review on where to stay if you’re working remotely.
Colombia

Find soul in this South American country rich in musical beats, stunning landscapes and reinvented cities. We enjoyed Colombia’s big cities like Cartagena and Medellin, but also became enchanted in small towns like Jardin and Salento, where time seemed to stand still and where watching the sunset in the mountains became all that mattered.
Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is like a gateway to Eastern Europe. In the capital of Prague, find tons of history from the ages of royalty to World War II and into the Soviet era, and wander through the unique Old City, where cultures and architecture blend together.
The Dominican Republic

Find out what to see in the Dominican Republic North Coast with our North Coast itineraries featuring Cabarete and Sosua, and discover what to know about traveling in the DR regarding local tax, money, safety and backpacking.
England

This is England, land of castles and countryside, and rugby and royalty. Get lost in London and feel out the hip scenes and the history. Then, take a train to get out of the cities and experience simpler life in villages, historic sites and nature.
Estonia

Estonia is a surprise, if anything. Where is this small country, credited for being the birthplace of Skype and Wise? Its mix of influences from Scandinavia and from the Baltic and Russian region make for a fascinating culture of innovation, progress and unique history.
Guatemala

As one of the most diverse countries in Central America, Guatemala is a favorite for backpacking, adventure, culture and food. With landscapes from volcanoes to jungle, and beaches to forest, Guatemala both packs a punch and never ceases to amaze travelers.
Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a dense island metropolis jam-packed full of culture, innovation, unique scenery and of course, its mouth-watering cuisine. Hong Kong is a melting pot for Asia and for the world, where people of all cultures feel comfortable and welcome, and where having Pakistani or Korean food for dinner is as easy to find as some good old Cantonese dim sum.
Iceland

There's an unlimited number of things to do in Iceland, if you let yourself get off the beaten path. Explore Iceland by renting a car and taking a road trip -- this way, you'll be able to get on roads less traveled, get national parks to yourself and avoid all the crowds. The beauty of Iceland lies in its magnificent nature, which is where you'll find yourself documenting the trip through travel photography.
Ireland

Beyond the Guinness pints and the countless characteristic pubs, and beyond the rain and the driving on the left, is spectacular untouched nature, locals who will always crack a joke and, well, lots of sheep.
Israel

Kick back by the Mediterranean Sea with falafel or lose yourself in the narrow alleyways of one of the most historically-important cities on Earth. Check out how four cultures share Jerusalem’s Old City, and then spend the next day floating in the saltiest body of water in the world.
Latvia

Sandwiched between Estonia and Lithuania, and sharing borders with Belarus and Russia, Latvia is still forming an independent identity. Try the dense and flavorful bread varieties, the Baltic Sea fishes and of course, the strawberries. You'll notice that from the bogs to the beaches, there's so much to see in this laid-back and growing country.
Mexico

What we love about Mexico is the rich culture, full of soulful and joyous music, zesty cuisine, ancient history and bustling cities. This big country has enough unique destinations to keep you enchanted for months.
Myanmar (Burma)

The most undiscovered and alternative of any country in Southeast Asia, Myanmar (Burma) provides a genuine travel experience to travelers who want to get lost among ancient pagodas, lake villages and urban chaos.
The Netherlands

Windmills, stroopwafels and the canals of Amsterdam may come to mind when you think of the Netherlands. Get on a bicycle, the local Dutch way, and make your way into the architecture of Rotterdam, quaint and quiet streets of villages outside the big cities and the excellent transport systems that link all the parts of this country.
New England

The beautiful nature, laid-back towns and array of things to do in all four seasons make New England is a great choice for a couples, friends or family trip on the East Coast.
New York

Looking for the best authentic local tips for travel and exploring New York State? Check out the secret tips that only locals know, and how to maximize your trip budget.
Peru

Famed for Machu Picchu and its Incan ruins, there’s much more to Peru than meets the eye. Sit back with a drink and watch the sunset from the Pacific cliffs of the capital city Lima, and surf on sand dunes in Huacachina, from where the sand in your hair will serve as a souvenir for days.
Portugal

Portugal charmed us from the start, as we ventured through a maze of colorful alleyways in Lisbon’s Bairro Alto neighborhood and then took a road trip to the humble medieval villages and beautiful beaches. Try the wine and the seafood, and then go for a hike along the rocky coastline.
Spain

Famed for tapas, mountains, islands and art, in a variety of dramatic settings, Spain is somewhere to go back to, time and again. Just when you think you’ve gotten to know the country, you’ll learn there’s more to see.
Sri Lanka

If you like scenery, flavorful food, friendly people and culture, this is a country for you. In Sri Lanka, we hiked epic mountains, climbed stairs to a sacred giant Buddha, tried Ceylon tea fresh from its source and laid back with fruit smoothies on the southern beaches.
Taiwan

Off the beaten path, undiscovered places and natural beauty are all ways to describe travel in Taiwan. Travel for food, hiking and culture in one of the best destinations in Asia.
Vietnam

Vietnam is so diverse, and you'll never run out of things to do. Yes, travel in Vietnam is affordable, so you can get more for your money and try everything in sight.
