World's Best Places to Visit
With a world full of fascinating destinations, choosing the perfect vacation spot can present a challenge. This list of the world's best places to visit is here for you.
South Island
New Zealand's South Island fills with splendid scenery at every turn. Here, you can admire the Fiordland National Park from hiking routes or a boat on Milford Sound, the eighth wonder of the world. At night, journey to the Mount John Observatory to stare at the starry skies. You can also explore two of the most accessible glaciers in the world on the island's west coast or enjoy delicious food and wine.
Paris
Paris, the City of Light, draws visitors from around the globe who come to see impressive attractions like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. But what travelers really fall in love with are the city's unusual cafes, energetic markets, trendy shopping districts and unmistakable charm. Get lost wandering along Paris' streets, or eat a croissant and relax on the banks of the Seine for hours.
Bora Bora
Though this French Polynesian island may be small, its complete tropical beauty makes up for it. Here, you'll find beautiful beaches and thick jungles. The island's volcano, Mount Otemanu, makes for a great photo-op and the enthusiastic locals can help you catch the island's best sights during an off-road hike. To relax, head to Matira Beach for clear water and soft sand. Although a trip to Bora Bora is very expensive, most travelers say it's worth every penny.
