If you want adventure

Sydney is full of things to do on land and sea. If you’d rather be on the slopes, Salzburg is home of world renowned ski resorts. You could go through caves in Barbados, or go hiking in Croatia.

If you want to see a few at once

Make the most of your trip and see a few of these top cities at once! If you go to Japan, you can see both Osaka and Tokyo with a ride on the Tokaido Shinkansen train line. According to the Osaka Station Guide, this will set you back about $120 (13,620 yen) one way but is a convenient way to get between the two cities. You could also take a backpacking trip through Europe and hit several cities on this list.
