  • Major features: The Boardwalk, casinos, beaches
  • 7,063 TripAdvisor reviews of 72 accommodations, 39 attractions and 282 restaurants
It's the East Coast's answer to Las Vegas. Atlantic City's casinos draw tourists by the car- and bus-load, but even if your main objective is to play some blackjack, you'll want to save time for sightseeing.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
  • Resident population: 183,126 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, nightlife, boating, shopping
  • 14,178 TripAdvisor reviews of 215 accommodations, 92 attractions and 600 restaurants
This canal-laced city is a far cry from its spring break party image of the past. Following renovation and renewal, upscale stores and restaurants have replaced fast-food stands and T-shirt shops.
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.
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.
Salzburg, Austria
  • Resident population: 144,689 Annual visitors: 874,000 (est.)
  • Major features: music festivals and history, architecture, skiing
  • 5,718 TripAdvisor reviews of 363 accommodations, 72 attractions and 202 restaurants
