  • Major features: scuba diving, beaches, waterfalls, swimming with dolphins
  • 10,631 TripAdvisor reviews of 223 accommodations, 39 attractions and 43 restaurants

  • Major features: beaches, water sports, nightlife
  • 3,936 TripAdvisor reviews of 199 accommodations, 68 attractions and 134 restaurants
Mountain views, raucous nightlife and a C-shaped bay with a plethora of beaches make Acapulco a more upscale, yet reasonably priced, escape than its spring-break cousin, Cancun.
Aruba
  • Resident population: 103,065 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, casinos
  • 11,557 TripAdvisor reviews of 119 accommodations, 143 attractions and 125 restaurants
A beach-lover's paradise, this Caribbean island's interior boasts desert, but the coasts are filled with picture-perfect, powdery white sand and tranquil sapphire waters.
Innsbruck, Austria

  • Major features: skiing, alpine scenery, historical buildings
  • 1,568 TripAdvisor reviews of 90 accommodations, 49 attractions and 57 restaurants
Coveted by empires and republics throughout its history, Innsbruck was the seat of the imperial court of Maximilian I by the end of the 15th century.

  • 12,871 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,394 accommodations, 81 attractions and 274 restaurants
The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia.
