Destinations of the Day
Venice, Italy
  • Resident population: 268,993 Annual visitors: 2,927,000 (est.)
  • Major features: canals, museums, piazzas, architecture, bridges
  • 48,574 TripAdvisor reviews of 1,425 accommodations, 183 attractions and 523 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.
Hurghada, Egypt
  • Resident population: 40,000 (est.)
  • Major features: water sports, desert safaris, coral reefs
  • 9,802 TripAdvisor reviews of 181 accommodations, 20 attractions and 15 restaurants
Stunning coral reefs and turquoise waters perfect for windsurfing have made Hurghada, on Egypt's Red Sea Coast, a busy resort town.
Bangkok, Thailand
  • Resident population: 5,658,953 Annual visitors: 10,350,000 (est.)
  • Major features: temples, palaces, nightlife
  • 32,823 TripAdvisor reviews of 724 accommodations, 205 attractions and 625 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.
Atlantic City, New Jersey
  • Resident population: 39,408 (est.)
  • Major features: The Boardwalk, casinos, beaches
  • 7,175 TripAdvisor reviews of 72 accommodations, 39 attractions and 279 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.
Oahu, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 905,034 Annual visitors: 1,733,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, surfing, Honolulu, luaus, ecotourism
  • 39,014 TripAdvisor reviews of 677 accommodations, 369 attractions and 1,688 restaurants
Say aloha to tropical breezes, oceanfront luaus and iconic Diamond Head on Oahu, the most populated Hawaiian island. Follow in the sandprints of surfing forefather Duke Kahanamoku on Waikiki Beach, visit the royal quarters of Iolani Palace and tour Pearl Harbor.
