Sometimes it seems like the whole world is off limits when it comes to planning travel.

Rome

Romans pretty much wrote the book on building an empire. Even for a city built on rubbled ruins, this town continues to bring millions of visitors every year.

Why Is Rome Worth Visiting?

Rome for first-time visitors is a little overwhelming, but I find that the savvy travelers will travel to see Rome's off-the-beaten-path sites, where history comes to life, without the crowds. Every traveler wants to get that Roman Holiday feeling, windswept on a Vespa, so to speak, full of seeing ruins, eating Cacio e Pepe, and indulging in some great shopping. Rome is many things to many people, and a town that is best explored "Poco a Poco" (little by little).


Inclusions for travelers with a Rome Go City Pass:

  • Take a pasta class

  • Visit the Vatican and Sistine Chapel

  • Go to the Collosseum

  • Enjoy a River Cruise

  • Or a food tour!

  • See the Capuchin Crypts

    ...and more!

Cancun

Despite any travel warnings, people have been visiting Cancun as their go-to Mexican resort destination for what seems like forever.

Why Is Cancun Worth Visiting?

Big brand hotel chains allow tourists to use up well earned points on a beachfront stay, and they can bring the kids too. There's water sports, colorful restaurants and souvenir shops, and plenty of cultural experiences within arms reach.


The extra adventurous traveler may want to experience some of Cancun's bucket list adventures, like swimming with whale sharks or diving in underwater museums.


Inclusions for travelers with a Cancun Go City Pass:

  • Chitzen Itza

  • Water sports

  • ATV Tours

  • Jungle Treks

  • Cenote swims

    ...and more!

Las Vegas

As long as there are lights and gambling, the Sin City will prevail.

Why is Las Vegas Worth Visiting?

Even if gambling and shows aren't your thing, Las Vegas offers plenty for families and site-seers. The Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam are fun day trips paired with visits to Boulder City and even ghost towns.


Las Vegas offers interesting museums, like the Nevada State Railroad Museum or the Clark County Museum, and there's even a nearby Indian Reservation where you can stop in for some Indian Fry Bread at the Moapa Paiute Travel Plaza. The Valley of Fire is another incredible day trip from Las Vegas, offering petroglyphs and photo worthy rock wave formations.


Staying in a themed Las Vegas Hotel offers visitors the chance to feel like they are in Europe or abroad, much like in Quebec, but in this case in an over-the-top Disney style setting.


Inclusions for travelers with a Las Vegas Go City Pass:

  • Big Apple Roller Coaster

  • Hoover Dam tour

  • High Roller Observation Wheel

  • Mob Museum

  • Cirque du Soleil shows

  • Eiffel Tower Experience

  • Neon Museum

    ...and more!

Dubai

Even despite political upset from time to time, I've been monitoring and my Dubai content is still skyrocketing, meaning - people don't seem to care. They're still booking travel to Dubai, which will forever remain as a glitzy business hub and exotic destination for families.

Why is Dubai Worth Visiting?

Dubai is a really fascinating place - a blend of traditional Arabic culture met with wealth and industry. With a blend of the old and new, Dubai offers visitors a chance to step into the past on a desert safari (complete with a camel ride and whirling dervish show), to get lost in the old town souks, and to take a traditional Abra or dhow cruise through the waterways of Dubai.


On the flip side, Dubai offers some of the most opulent dining, shopping malls and giant buildings the world has ever seen. If you haven't been skiing in a mall before, then you're about to get your chance.

Hong Kong

Even timid travelers are experiencing Hong Kong with more unique trips like cruises from Hong Kong to Singapore. Cruising is offering tourists a way to see China and the far East without the fear of the unknown (I.e. bugs on sticks in marketplaces and other offbeat encounters!).

Why is Hong Kong Worth Visiting?

Culture, vibrant markets, amazing Chinese food and history.


Inclusions for travelers with a Hong Kong Go City Pass:

  • Iconic harbor boat rides

  • Peking duck or dim sum dining adventures

  • Access to Ocean Park

  • Cable car and tram rides

  • Hop-on-hop-off bus tours

    ...and more!

London

While all roads are said to lead through Rome, I find myself traveling through London, at least on a London stopover, 3-4 times per year. This place is never going out of style.

Why is London Worth Visiting?

I feel like if you haven't been anywhere, you need to start with London. Why? Because it's easy. They speak English. The flights are fast and inexpensive (especially with airlines like Norse Air operating one way flights at $149!), and frankly there is plenty to see and do, even if you only have a short amount of time.


Inclusions for travelers with a London Go City Pass:

  • Tower of London

  • The London Eye

  • Boat Rides...Bus Rides

  • Madame Toussads

  • Westminster Abbey

  • Kensington Palace

  • Tower Bridge

  • Windsor Castle

    ...need I go on?

Paris

Much like Rome, Paris is everlasting. The appeal will never fail to charm Francophiles - the food, the allure of fashion, the men. It's all so very ooh la la and lots of amour, because everything in Paris is just the perfect mix of romance and charm. If you like cities, that is.

Why is Paris Worth Visiting?

Paris needs no introduction. From historic palaces and promenades to indulgent haute cuisine, there is no limit to what a Parisian vacation can include.


Inclusions for travelers with a Paris Go City Pass:

  • The Eiffel Tower

  • A Seine River Cruise

  • The Louvre Museum

  • Wine Tasting

  • The Arc de Triomphe

  • Louis Vuitton VIP Entry

  • Notre Dame

  • Walking tours of Montmartre and Sacre Couer

    ...and more!

Madrid

Barcelona may be spraying tourists with water guns, but Madrid is generally in a 'meh' phase of tourism - meaning come, go, don't, whatever you want. They are doing their thing, and just don't get in the way.


That said, it's still one of the most heavily trafficked cities in Europe for tourism, and for good reason.

Why is Madrid Worth Visiting?

Madrid is the starting point to countless Spanish adventures, and the city holds history and gastronomy that is unrivaled in many other European destinations. Spending some time in Madrid is a must for any visitor to Spain!


Inclusions for travelers with a Madrid Go City Pass:

  • Visit the Royal Palace

  • See the Prado Museum

  • Go to a Flamenco Show

  • See Toledo and Segovia

  • Go Wine Tasting

  • Walking tours through hip Madrid neighborhoods

    ...and more!
