- Paris
It is hard not to picture the Eiffel Tower when you hear the word “Paris”; however, there’s much more to the city than just that. Paris is home to other beautiful attractions, such as the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, de Musee d’Orsay, the Notre Dame Cathedral and more.
- Cancún, Mexico
Perhaps many college students want to visit Cancún because “En el mar la vida es mas sabrosa”. Located on the Yucatán Peninsula bordering the Caribbean Sea, Cancún is a must-go paradise full of beautiful beaches, beautiful sunsets and fun for everyone. Some places of interest are Playa Delfines, Avenida Kukulkan, Parroquia de Cristo Rey and Dolphin Discovery.
- Amsterdam
The Netherlands capital might be one of the most liberal and culturally diverse cities in the world. The city has many attractions, such as Central Station, the Portuguese Synagogue, the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank’s House and a series of beautiful canals throughout the city that extend for about 100 kilometers. Nonetheless, the ability to legally buy and consume marijuana and soft drugs in “coffeeshops” and access to the Red Light district, a tolerance zone with sex shops and legal prostitution, might be what makes Amsterdam so different from other places.
- Venice, Italy
Did you picture a guy with a striped shirt and a funny hat maneuvering a kayak-looking boat in a city canal? Well, if you did, you are thinking of a gondolier in a gondola. Venice is well known for having beautiful canals that connect the 117 small islands that make up the city. A gondola ride is a must in Venice, but there are other things to do, such as visiting Saint Mark’s Basilica, the Piazza San Marco, Doge’s Palace, Teatro La Fenice and many astonishing bridges located throughout the city.
- Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Dubai might not be too affordable, but that’s because the city houses many astounding attractions. They include the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest skyscraper in the world; the Dubai Mall, which measures more than 12 million square feet and is the biggest mall in the world; and The World, a man-made series of islands that resembles the shape of a world map.
