Sydney (Australia) 

Sydney is located on Australia's south-east coast. The city is built around Port Jackson. Sydney is blessed with a glorious abundance of natural beauty. Sydney's climate is truly impressive. Darling Harbor, incorporating the recently developed Cockle Bay Wharf is a modern waterside to enjoy seafood, wines and goodies. The Major places to visit are:

  • Sydney Opera House - one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Lot of cultural activities like ballet, theatre and music, opera is featured in four theatres and it also has some of the finest restaurants.
  • Sydney Harbor Bridge - Harbor from where you can glance some of the best sites of Sydney. Natural beauty scattered around at 20Km length.
  • Sydney Town Hall -Stood as a major hub for public and civic building. The Town Hall clock is most popular landmark and marble entrance makes it beautiful meeting place.
    The other attractions of Sydney include pristine beaches and the surfers paradise i.e. bondi beach and it also have other small beaches to enjoy the scenic beauty of Australia.

London (UK)

London is the largest urban area and capital of England and the United Kingdom. It is also known as the heart of England. There are so many amazing sites in the capital to visit:

  • Clarence House - Clarence House is the official residence of The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. During the summer, visitors are guided around the ground-floor rooms where The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall receive guests from around the world.
  • Houses of Parliament (Palace of Westminster) - are home to the House of Commons and the House of Lords and the famous clock tower Big Ben. Overseas visitors can travel only in summers through designated areas of the parliamentary estate.
  • Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition - an amazing tour to the world-famous Globe Theatre. A chance to see a sword-fighting display, find out how actors are dressed in handmade costumes and take a tour of vivid life of working theatre. There are so many other places to visit are Wimbledon lawn Museum, Imperial war museum, St Paul's Cathedral.

Paris (France)

Paris is the most popular tourist destination in the world, with over 30 million foreign visitors per year. A romantic and stylish city situated on the river Seine. The major tourist attractions are:

  • a) Place de la Bastille - This is the home for many concerts and similar events and at night busy for cafes, bars, night clubs and concert halls.
  • b) The Montparnasse Tower - soared over the Paris skyline with its 210-meter height. Its rooftop is open to the public and offers an exceptional view of the below. The tower and newly re-modeled train station replace the 19th century station, making it a very contemporary spot in the capital today.
  • c) Eiffel Tower - If you have a good weather and have a little extra time, go to Eiffel tower at sunset for a spectacular scene.
  • There are so many other places to visit in Paris, which all can't be covered here so I will recommend it as the best place to visit.

Rome (Italy)

Rome is modern and cosmopolitan and it is the third most-visited tourist destination in the EU and a city of cultural and political importance. Its international airport is the largest in Italy; a climate mild and rainy in winter rather than full of snow, Rome appeals as the perfect place to vacation during any time of year. You do not need a Visa if you're only staying for 90 days or less. I would recommend visiting Rome in the off-peak months between October and March to avoid the summer rush.

Don't Miss These Locations:

  • The Coliseum- The best structure to visit in the city. You will be welcomed by guides dressed as Gladiators, when taking tour to the premises.
  • The Roman Forum - Visiting the ancient Rome where political, religious, and economic activities took place. Many of its columns remain standing among the ruins even after 2000 years, displaying the left over of Roman architecture. If you want, you can spend a little more to get a personalized guided tour complete with audio pedestals where you can learn more.
  • The Vatican- One of the most popular spots to visit in Rome is, of course, the Vatican. The Vatican has a fine collection of sculptures, paintings, books, and many other artifacts that chronicle the Catholic Church's history and had great religious importance.
  • The Sistine Chapel- If pressed for time, skip everything else and proceed to the Sistine Chapel. The Sistine Chapel is probably the most recognized piece of work from the Renaissance period.

Madrid (Spain)

Madrid is located in the center of Spain and sits at an elevation 1900' above sea level. The population of the central city is 2.95 million. Madrid is full of green spaces and parkland, in central Madrid there is one of the largest park is, spreading out to the north-east of Atoka Railway station, Casa de Campo is enormous rural parkland to the west of the city, the largest of all Madrid's green areas. Its home to a fairground, zoo and an outdoor municipal pool, to enjoy a bird's eye view of the park and city take a cable car trip above the tree tops. The places to visit there are:

Not to be offensive or anything but why are the majority of cities to visit in either Europe or the United States. I was born in the United states and have traveled all over the world and have eaten in small coffee shops in Chennai to the panoramic views of South Africa\'s table mountain. This list does not include any South America, Africa, or Asian countries (except for Dubai and India). Are you trying to discourage people by putting up cities that you read somewhere else. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

There are only 9 slots, dude! Narrowing the list to only nine cities makes it impossibly arbitrary to begin with. The brevity of the list immediately makes it debatable. So lighten up a bit and share your opinion.

I could make a case for including beautiful Capetown or dazzling Tokyo or the historic grandeur of Montevideo. But I have a hard time leaving San Francisco off of any list, even if it is back in the states.
