Top 5 Cities to Visit
Some people travel to escape the city. They want to be free from the chaos and stress that comes with a bustling city full of people. But, there are some people who live for the buzz. For these people, nothing is better than the chance to be swept up in the excitement of a brand new city. The bright lights are just too hard to resist.
If you fall into the category of people who love checking out cities while you’re abroad, or you think you might find them interesting then read on and let us open your eyes to some of the best cities in the world. So, get your travel bucket list and get ready to make some additions.
Tokyo, Japan
Japan is a completely different world to anything you will have experienced before. The culture is fascinating and, at times, utterly bizarre, and there is no better place to fully get to grips with it than the country’s stimulating capital. From the towering buildings of the inner city to the delicious noodle houses that pepper the streets, there is something interesting to be found on every corner of the city.
Melbourne, Australia
Known as the food capital of Australia, Melbourne has a truly phenomenal culinary scene. Australia itself doesn’t have much by way of national cuisine but it does spectacular versions of everyone else’s food. Throughout the city you’ll find street food, Asian eateries, South American offerings and plenty more to satisfy your appetite. Once you’re full, be sure to explore the beautiful parks and museums that can found throughout the city.
Medellin, Colombia
Sitting in the mountains of Colombia is the city of Medellin – a former red zone that has turned into one of the most thriving travel hotspots on the continent. Medellin is a mixture of cultures and scenes and the city is divided into a number of distinct regions, each with their own selling points. Right in the centre you will find the Botero Museum and sculpture park and over in El Poblado you will find the bars and clubs. You might also want to check out Parque Arvi, located at the top of a cable car track.
Fes, Morocco
Fes is everything you imagine Morocco to be and it is here you will get an authentic taste of Moroccan culture. Sprawling markets, known as souks, are found across the city, selling everything from clothes to jewellery to furniture. Make sure you’re well versed in the art of haggling before you attempt to buy anything so you get the best price you can. Fes is also famous for its tanneries and gastronomy so make time to explore both in your itinerary.
Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver is the perfect city for people who aren’t sure if they want to spend too much time in a city. The centre of Vancouver is full of high-rises, broken up by malls, brunch spots and purveyors of culture, including galleries and museums. But, if you drive just one hour out of the city you will find yourself surrounded by some of the most beautiful nature in the country. With the Rockies on one side and the Pacific on the other, those who travel to Vancouver really are spoilt for choice.
