Liechtenstein

                                            Tiny Liechtenstein boasts outsized views of the Alps.

This alpine microstate bordered by Switzerland to the west and south and Austria to the east is a fastidiously clean and well-ordered principality. • It’s also one of only two (the other is Uzbekistan) “doubly landlocked” nations, that is, bordered entirely by other landlocked nations. • An often overlooked winter-sports destination but a not so often overlooked tax haven, it’s the smallest German-speaking country in the world and the only one that doesn’t share a border with the fatherland.

Macedonia

            The church of St. John the Theologian–Kaneo perches on the rocks above placid Ohrid Lake.

Azerbaijan

                            The harbor of Baku, the capital, is known as the finest on the Caspian Sea.

Costa Rica

                                                      Suspension Bridge, Savegre River

 Thrill-seeking kayakers negotiate a perilous suspension bridge soaring over Costa Rica’s Savegre River, near Manuel Antonio National Park. Snaking through a lush rain forest filled with tropical birds and pristine waterfalls, the Savegre is a spectacular stretch of coastal white water.

Kathmandu, Nepal

                                                       Boudhanath Temple, Kathmandu

In Kathmandu, the devout light oil lamps at Boudhanath, a stupa patterned on a mandala design. Buddhists walk around the sacred monuments clockwise, the same direction a prayer wheel spins.

Prague, Czech Republic

A setting sun bathes Prague and its storied Prazsk Hrad (Prague Castle), which rises on the left. Spared destruction in World War II, much of Prague’s historical center was declared a World Heritage site in 1992.

Prague's intact medieval Old Town connects to an equally well-preserved Lesser Quarter by way of a 14th-century stone bridge—all brooded over by a castle that’s part Disneyland and part Franz Kafka. In the 1989 Velvet Revolution, this “city of 100 spires” (more like 500) awoke like a modern-day Rip Van Winkle in the heart of Europe—shrugging off decades of slumber under first the Nazis and then the Communists and, centuries before that, the Habsburgs. Prague drips with history, but it’s hardly a museum piece. The booming tourist industry has fed a revival of the city’s arts and museums, and made its hotels and restaurants the envy of Central Europe.

Vancouver, Canada

                    With 2.6 million residents in the metro area, Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada.

Set amid a backdrop of snow-flecked mountains, dripping rain forest, and sandy beaches, Vancouver is, as the tourist brochures say, “Spectacular by nature.” Steadily earning accolades as one of the world’s most livable cities, Vancouver has it all: superb restaurants, world-class shopping, recreation to boggle the mind, and remarkable cultural diversity. It’s no wonder that TV and film crews flock to this city of extremes. With the West Coast’s busiest port, the fairest weather in Canada, and an open-door policy to anyone from someplace else, the city is no stranger to growth. As the ships slide in and out of port, so do the visitors, coming to ski and hike, enjoy the arts, eat fresh seafood, and soak up the surrounding beauty. As host to the 2010 Winter Olympics, Vancouver is poised to garner even more international attention.

Madrid, Spain

Madrid’s Gran Vía buzzes with activity 24/7, fronting shops from high-end to gritty and hotels for all budgets. Along the Vía you’ll also find grand cinemas that host Spain’s red carpet film premieres.

Like the best tapas bars, Madrid offers a selection of delights so tempting it reduces even the most seasoned traveler to giddiness. On one glorious stretch of boulevard, it houses three of the world’s greatest art museums. It boasts Western Europe’s largest Royal Palace and its most audacious gay pride parade. Get lost in the 16th-century cobblestoned streets around Plaza Mayor, the über-trendy boutiques of Chueca, the upscale chic of Salamanca, and the medieval elegance of La Latina. Dine on cutting-edge cuisine in a world-famous culinary temple or join locals in a gritty corner bar where the simple tapas come in huge portions and everyone throws their napkins on the floor. Begin a night out at 10 p.m. with a heart-stirring flamenco performance and finish at 6 a.m. with pulse-racing techno. Madrid is a city that locals proudly claim never sleeps. Except, that is, during siesta. Do like they do and take a nap—it is key to truly living la vida madrileña.

Las Vegas, Nevada

The Las Vegas Strip, a 4.5-mile stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard, is home to some of the world’s largest hotels.

    Believe it or not, Las Vegas is almost all grown up. Gone are the days when dingy casinos, cheap steaks, penny slot machines, and topless shows were all “Sin City” offered. They say, “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” But you don’t need an alibi—or an excuse—to visit one of the country’s fastest growing metropolitan areas. Even for those who don’t gamble, this artificial desert oasis whimsically caters to all tastes, with outrageous nightclubs, luxuriant spas, superstar chefs’ restaurants, bling-bling boutiques, skyscraping thrill rides, and even educational museums and wildlife preserves. The Strip featuring glam casino resorts is the city’s spine, while old-school downtown still captures a vintage Vegas vibe.

Atlanta, Georgia

Many of Atlanta’s 1,050 miles (1,689 kilometers) of streets are lined with flowering dogwood trees that bloom each spring.

    For a sprawling city with the nation’s ninth-largest metro area, Atlanta is surprisingly lush with trees—magnolias, dogwoods, Southern pines, and magnificent oaks. Its mix of antebellum architecture and sexy glass high-rises reflects the paradox of the place; Atlanta is an ever-evolving city, honing her identity as she grows. Though steeped in Civil War history and a devotion to Southern hospitality, Atlanta is also a hotbed of upscale shopping, creative cuisine, and an exploding arts scene. Locals are passionate about college and professional sports, but also about foie gras, collard greens, and pecan pie. Neighborhoods like trendy Virginia-Highland and upscale Buckhead share cultural space with alternative Little Five Points and East Atlanta Village. The heart of the southeast has a captivating intersection of liberals and conservatives, blacks and whites. New attractions—the Georgia Aquarium, Atlantic Station, Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center, and the recently redeveloped World of Coca-Cola—show that Atlanta, ever re-defining itself, has no plans to rest on its laurels.

San Diego, California

                      The dawn light washes over downtown San Diego, as seen from Harbor Island.

The first European settlement on the West Coast, now America’s eighth-largest city, San Diego no longer chooses to be defined solely by 70 miles (112 kilometers) of beaches, supreme weather, a forward-leaning zoo, or its naval history. Though denizens still cling to a pair of flip-flops, in the past decade the city’s economy has been boosted by biotech and telecom industries—the influx of high-paying jobs produced an incursion of talent and fresh perspective, allowing the city to blossom culturally, with money filtering into the arts and helping the dining scene flourish. Downtown’s revitalization has been most dramatic, originating in the Gaslamp Quarter, followed by a new ballpark in 2004 and block after block of restaurants, hotels, and condos, turning the city into a major convention destination. But the city’s finest asset, its outdoor recreation areas, thrive close by and are a top attraction for those who invest the time to discover them.

Stockholm, Sweden

A 19th-century ferryboat transports visitors to the Gröna Lund Tivoli Amusement Park from Old Town.

Building a city on a collection of islands may have its logistical drawbacks; but no visitor to Stockholm will miss the most obvious peacetime benefit—space. There is an airy feel to the downtown that comes from the waters pretty much having been left alone to provide breathing space between neighborhoods. As the big brother of Sweden and most of Scandinavia, Stockholm is both despised and admired—as older siblings tend to be—but is supremely oblivious to it. Strong and confident, equally trendy and historic, and achingly beautiful come summer, this self-proclaimed “Capital of Scandinavia” counts among its treasures the Nobel Prize, more than 100 museums and attractions, and Europe’s largest royal palace, the official residence of His Majesty the King of Sweden.

Shanghai, China

Symbol of Shanghai’s international heritage, the river-skirting Bund area has been a popular site for European and U.S. businesses since the late 19th century, when it grew into a major Asian financial center.

Today’s Shanghai is a model of progress—not just in China but in all the world. In just a few short decades, the city—known in pre-communist years for its glitz and glamour—has reestablished itself as one of Asia’s most vibrant, forward-thinking, and cosmopolitan places to visit. “This is a city with its foot on the accelerator 24 hours a day, blasting off into the future at speeds that leave little time for nostalgia,” says local journalist Richard Baimbridge. But if you really want nostalgia, among the thrumming nightlife and gourmet restaurants, Shanghai has that, too: Neoclassical architecture, Mao memorabilia, historic museums, authentic food down gritty alleyways—all these and more await.

kyoto, japan

Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion)
Kyoto was Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868. It is now the country's seventh largest city with a population of 1.4 million people and a modern face.

Over the centuries, Kyoto was destroyed by many wars and fires, but due to its historic value, the city was dropped from the list of target cities for the atomic bomb and spared from air raids during World War II. Countless temples, shrines and other historically priceless structures survive in the city today.

Koh Kong Conservation Corridor, cambodia

Koh Kong Conservation Corridor Information

A journey to Koh Kong is a chance to weave through its manifold forest and catch a glimpse of some of the breathtaking sights of the Cardamon Mountains - its lush jungle, beautiful river crossings, rapid waterfalls and the abundance of some endangered wildlife such as the Indochinese tiger (Panthera tigris corbetti), Siamese crocodiles, pangolins and some species of turtles and tortoises.

The Koh Kong Conservation Corridor is a relatively brand new and largely unexplored destination. Most traveler crossing the Thai border would pass through it, not once paying attention. Times, however, have changed. Offering a vast wealth of eco-tourism, adventure and beach hoping possibilities, the Koh Kong is one of the most convenient starting grounds to explore Cambodia's uncharted territories.

An adventurous trip to the nearby mangrove forest and boating further upstream to the spectacular Tatai waterfalls, can be a worthwhile experience after a long trek to the steep slopes and the deep gorge of Cardamon. The Tuo Kokir Rapids and the impressive jungle ravine of Kbal Chhay Falls are situated farther upriver.

Although all these trips start out on tarmac they will soon end up in off-road conditions in Cambodia - rocks, ruts, ridges and steep inclines. The most amazing factor is that these marvelous sights draw lots of tourists despite of several inconveniences.

Fernando de Noronha, brazil

                                                                    Noronha Beaches
