Marmaris, Turkey
  • Resident population: 30,000 Annual visitors: 1,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: boating, beaches, nightlife
  • 9,917 TripAdvisor reviews of 398 accommodations, 27 attractions and 115 restaurants
A gorgeous backdrop of pine-clad mountains looms behind the seaside resort of Marmaris in southwest Turkey. Popular as a cruise ship and yacht port and with the British budget holiday crowd, Marmaris offers an abundance of fast food restaurants, the restored castle of Suleyman the Magnificent and an appealing cobblestoned old quarter.
Honolulu, Hawaii

  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head
  • 31,733 TripAdvisor reviews of 415 accommodations, 206 attractions and 1,127 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.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Resident population: 1,422,000 Annual visitors: 6,120,000 (est.)
  • Major features: shopping, historic sites, beaches, nightlife, golf courses
  • 15,997 TripAdvisor reviews of 489 accommodations, 71 attractions and 374 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.
Jamaica
  • Resident population: 2,825,928 Annual visitors: 1,704,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, scuba diving, cliff diving, jungle tours
  • 50,143 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,265 accommodations, 260 attractions and 305 restaurants
Jamaica is a melting pot of African, Asian, European and Middle Eastern cultures. You'll experience this diversity in its strong crafts tradition, performing arts and distinctive dining options, like ackee and saltfish with roast breadfruit.
Rome, Italy
  • Resident population: 2,724,347 Annual visitors: 6,033,000 (est.)
  • Major features: ancient buildings, art museums, the Vatican, piazzas, cultural events
  • 104,106 TripAdvisor reviews of 4,098 accommodations, 552 attractions and 1,641 restaurants
"When in Rome, do as the Romans." That classic advice leads to a wealth of options: Should you follow Augustus and Caesar, whose Rome is filled with spectacular ancient structures? Or Michelangelo and Da Vinci, whose city invites artistic pilgrimage? Maybe you'll discover the Rome that enchants lovers and sightseers alike? Rome encompasses all this and more.
