Destinations of the Day
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Resident population: 1,422,000 Annual visitors: 6,120,000 (est.)
  • Major features: shopping, historic sites, beaches, nightlife, golf courses
  • 16,440 TripAdvisor reviews of 489 accommodations, 72 attractions and 381 restaurants
With its ultramodern skyline, it's easy to forget that Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, was once a small town of Bedouin traders.
Anaheim, California
  • Resident population: 331,804 (est.)
  • Major features: Disneyland, professional sports
  • 15,661 TripAdvisor reviews of 113 accommodations, 20 attractions and 219 restaurants
The Disney influence is everywhere in the city that was reborn in 1955 with the opening of Disneyland. Formerly a sleepy suburban town, Anaheim today is a vibrant tourist center with fine dining, shopping, festivals, myriad attractions and a range of accommodations.
Bangkok, Thailand
  • Resident population: 5,658,953 Annual visitors: 10,350,000 (est.)
  • Major features: temples, palaces, nightlife
  • 31,645 TripAdvisor reviews of 714 accommodations, 200 attractions and 619 restaurants
Bangkok is a city to overload the senses. Streets are crowded by tuk-tuks (motorized tri-shaws) and the occasional elephant weaving through congested traffic.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
  • Resident population: 30,596 Annual visitors: 14,600,000 (est.)
  • Major features: golf courses, beaches, amusement parks, nightlife, casino cruises, fishing, shopping
  • 23,460 TripAdvisor reviews of 862 accommodations, 88 attractions and 338 restaurants
One may think the sun, 60 miles of wide sandy beaches and more than a hundred golf courses would be enough to lure vacationers to Myrtle Beach, but this popular coastal city offers even more to enjoy.
Venice, Italy
  • Resident population: 268,993 Annual visitors: 2,927,000 (est.)
  • Major features: canals, museums, piazzas, architecture, bridges
  • 48,008 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,393 accommodations, 184 attractions and 530 restaurants
Venice makes you a believer in fairy tales. Cars are banned, so the only way to get around the 1,500-year-old city is by foot or by water.
