  • A cliffside view of red buttes and Devil's Bridge, Sedona.

    Devil’s Bridge

    Devil’s Bridge is the largest sandstone arch near Sedona — the 1.8-mile hike is moderate, but standing on it with Red Rock views in every direction is not.

    Bell Rock

    Bell Rock sits right off Highway 179 — no long trail required. The vortex reputation draws the crowds, but the views justify the stop on their own.

  • Cathedral Rock and red rock formations and autumn foliage in a tranquil landscape with rustic structures.

    Cathedral Rock

  • Christmas tree on Dam Square in Amsterdam, Netherlands, illuminated with vibrant holiday lights

  • Stunning aerial sunset view of Lake Zurich with hills and scattered boats, zurich aerial view

    The can-can has been performed here since 1889. Dinner, champagne, sequins, feathers — the Moulin Rouge is unapologetically theatrical.

  • The Leaning Tower of the Oude Kerk in Delft

    Oude Kerk Delft

    Vermeer is buried here, under plain stone slabs. The leaning tower outside and the Baroque pulpit inside make this worth an hour of anyone’s time.
