  • Peru

    Peru

    The Inca Trail’s high passes hit 4,200m before Machu Picchu even appears. That suffering is the whole point.

  • Nice

    Nice

    Cours Saleya’s morning markets smell like the best version of France. By afternoon, the same square is full of rosé and locals.

  • Burgundy

    Burgundy

    Burgundy’s wine route costs nothing to drive and the villages along it — Pommard, Meursault, Gevrey — are reason enough to slow down.

  • Zell Am See

    Zell Am See

    Zell am See skis in winter, swims in summer, and somehow never feels like a tourist trap. The Grossglockner drive alone justifies the detour.

  • Montana

    Montana

    Going-to-the-Sun Road alone justifies the trip — 50 miles of 1932 engineering cutting through the Continental Divide at 6,646 feet.

  • Seville

    Seville

    Columbus is buried inside Seville’s cathedral. The Alcázar next door isn’t a museum — people actually live and work there.

  • Turin

    Turin

    Turin pours bicerin at marble-topped café bars that have barely changed since 1763. Most travelers fly to Milan instead — their loss.

  • Antwerp

    Antwerp

    The diamond district gets all the press, but Rubens’ actual paintings inside the Cathedral of Our Lady are what stop you cold.

  • Piedmont

    Piedmont

    Alba’s truffle fair runs one week a year. The rest of the time, Piedmont keeps its best things quietly to itself.

  • Sonoma Valley

    Sonoma Valley

    Napa gets the headlines, but Sonoma is where winemakers actually want to drink. The tasting rooms are smaller, the pours are more generous, and nobody is rushing you out.

  • Montalcino

    Montalcino

    Brunello di Montalcino is reason enough to come. The fortress views over the Val d’Orcia seal the deal.

  • Milan

    Milan

    The Duomo took my breath away, but Milan’s real personality lives in the Navigli canals at aperitivo hour — cheap Campari, locals only.
