Located in the northern part of the country, high above sea level, Ulan Bator is the coldest capital city in the world. The cultural and business center of Mongolia, and a hub connecting the Trans-Siberian Railway with the Chinese rail system, Ulan Bator has become a thriving urban center in one of the most remote locations in the world. Visit the Tibetan-style Gandan Monastery, one of the few buildings in Ulan Bator to predate WWII and one of the few monasteries to survive the Soviet purge.

I have mixed feelings about Ulaanbaatar. At first glance, the city looks horrible. A sprawling mess of yurts, run-down buildings and chaotic roadways. But once we stayed in the city for the night,...more

  • 15,792 TripAdvisor reviews of 114 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.

  • Major features: beach resorts, water sports, coral reefs
  • 11,505 TripAdvisor reviews of 171 accommodations, 16 attractions and 55 restaurants
A cluster of idyllic atolls in the Indian Ocean, about 200 of the Maldives' 1200 islets are inhabited. Another 100 are private resort islands.
Ocho Rios, Caribbean
  • Resident population: 9,450 (est.)
  • Major features: scuba diving, beaches, waterfalls, swimming with dolphins
  • 10,893 TripAdvisor reviews of 204 accommodations, 40 attractions and 43 restaurants
"Ochi" offers the white sands and clear water expected of a Caribbean island, complete with waterfalls and rainforests. Climb the natural staircase of Dunn's River Falls, stroll the Coyaba River Gardens or take a driving tour under the lush canopy of Fern Gully.
Miami Beach, Florida
  • Resident population: 87,925 Annual visitors: 10,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: nightlife, beaches, shopping, art museums
  • 26,419 TripAdvisor reviews of 363 accommodations, 71 attractions and 403 restaurants
South Beach, or SoBe, is Miami Beach's buzziest bit. The vibrant area, with its pastel-hued buildings, hip nightclubs, trendy shops and see-and-be-seen restaurants, attracts socialites and their satellites year-round.
Honolulu, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 374,676 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 32,962 TripAdvisor reviews of 462 accommodations, 207 attractions and 1,130 restaurants
If you visit Honolulu simply for the wide Pacific beaches, the striking views of Ko'olau's pali (cliffs) and the laid-back "aloha" feeling, you'll be missing out on much this city has to offer.
