    • Japan

      Japan

      Tokyo and Kyoto pull in opposite directions — neon and noise vs. stone gardens and silence. You need both, and two weeks still feels short.

    • San Diego

      San Diego

      San Diego’s best move is skipping the obvious and eating your way through Barrio Logan on a Tuesday afternoon.

    • Saint-Tropez

      Saint-Tropez

      Saint-Tropez works better in May or October. July crowds and EUR30 rosé make the real town almost impossible to find.

    • Amalfi

      Amalfi

      The EUR2 coastal bus delivers better views than any boat tour. Amalfi’s cathedral square alone is worth timing your itinerary around.

    • Portugal

      Portugal

      Porto’s azulejo tiles and the Algarve’s cliffs are just the start — Portugal rewards the traveler who lingers past the obvious.

    • 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.

    • Palawan

      Palawan

      El Nido’s limestone cliffs and lagoons are worth the rough road to get there. Puerto Princesa’s underground river is the bonus.

    • Galician Coast

      Galician Coast

      The Camino ends in Santiago, but the Galician Coast keeps going — all the way to Finisterre, where pilgrims once believed the world stopped.

    • Puerto Vallarta

      Puerto Vallarta

      Puerto Vallarta’s cobblestone Zona Romántica beats any resort pool. The street tacos on Basilio Badillo alone justify the flight.

    • Sorrento

      Sorrento

      Sorrento sits above the Bay of Naples like it knows it’s better than the Amalfi Coast — and honestly, it might be right.

    • Southern Italy

      Southern Italy

      Naples pizza is worth the trip alone, but Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast make Southern Italy one of the hardest itineraries to keep short.

    • North Carolina

      North Carolina

      NC spans 500 miles wide — the Smokies and the Outer Banks are practically different worlds. Pick your region carefully.
