Краткое описание: Definition of a great city: a place that makes virtue out of vice and knows exactly where to find fun. Welcome to Dublin, the greatest city in Europe.

At first glance, it’s kind of difficult to see why. Dublin isn’t as sexy or as sultry as other European capitals, the architecture is a bit of a jumble and it seems everyone has something to complain about. Dubs can be brutally unsentimental about their city. but their warts-and-all attachment is born out of a genuine love of a place that oozes personality, a city whose soul and sociability makes it the most charismatic of capitals.

Краткое описание: Sharing the island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic (DR) and Haiti could be said to be two sides of the same coin. At first glance, culture seems to divide the two countries: while the DR is Spanish-speaking and obsessed with baseball, Haitians would rather watch the soccer World Cup and comment on the game in French, or the Creole that’s derived from their slave ancestry.

Краткое описание: Belize is an eco-Mecca for those wanting to see nature, Mayan history and sun-drenched beaches. This very relaxed and informal country is situated between Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the west and south, and is but a two-hour flight from the continental United States. Tourism is a large part of the economy and the people are friendly and accommodating (and speak English).

Краткое описание: This is one region of Britain which really does suit every type of traveller, whether you’re the kind of person for whom floating beds, fruit teas and flat-screen TVs are all essential items, or you’re after just a rugged night under the stars with nothing but your backpack for company. Families, solo travellers and honeymooning couples will all find plenty to pique their interest, but even if you are a footloose nomad, it always pays to do a little bit of planning (and the odd bit of booking) before you set out on the road.

Краткое описание: The Danes are, overwhelmingly, a happy bunch. In fact, if you believe those contentment surveys that come out every couple of years, Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth with some of the best quality of life.

You don’t need statistics to understand the Dane’s happy lot, though. Stroll around Copenhagen or pretty much any Danish town and you’ll experience some of the most harmonious civic spaces anywhere…
