World’s Top 10 : Best Countries to Visit

Italy


The romantic culture and bravado of Italy alone earns a place on this list. Between the wonderful wines and fine dining available throughout the country, this is a vacation that will not disappoint. It is said that two thirds of the world's historical artistic heritage resides in Italy (Spain is a distant second). There are so many sights, but the relaxed culture can also make your visit dolce far niente - essentially doing nothing, an enjoyable one as well.

Australia


Being a country and its own continent, Australia truly has everything under one roof. Sydney is one of the world's finest cities with its architecture and fabulous harbor. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the hidden treasures for water lovers. Queensland is a very fine tropics area. Although the Outback has been largely tamed, the allure is still high for visitors and for good reason.

Thailand


Tourism has been a booming industry in Thailand for a few years now, so the experience one will have visiting the country will be a magnificent one. The country is truly a mix of old and new. The ancient ruins and villages are juxtaposed with the ultra-modern architecture and five-star hotels and dining.

France


Every region of France offers something unique and very rewarding. The provinces offer great landscapes and inside view into their unique cultures. Paris brings you to a world of art, food and fashion, three staples to the country's heritage. With such a diverse mix of attractions of environments, France can satisfy any traveler's requirements for a fulfilling visit.

U.S.A


While the country is very large in area, the United States does offer everything one could ask for. Tropical locations in Hawaii and Florida, unique landmarks in the Statue of Liberty, Grand Canyon and Washington D.C, and wonderful cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and Boston. The country would take a long time to explore, but every region offers a different culture and its own set of wonderful sights.

Japan


The best part of Japanese culture is the way they have mixed thousands of years of tradition with the modern touches of the 21st century. Tokyo and Osaka are must see cities for their unique characteristics.

Germany


Since putting themselves back together, Germany has been a great place to visit and enjoy. The great food and beer are joined by the booming city of Berlin and the wonderful views from the Rhine and Moselle rivers. While the country is still in a transition process, tourists can enjoy the old world culture with a modern twist when in Germany.

England


There are nine separate regions of England and all are different and intriguing in their own right. The sleepless city of London and the historical Yorkshire are fine places to start your journey. The Northwest region has a variety of sporting events as well as some of the finest rural views you will ever see.

China


China is going through change right now. You may see the tradition market gathering in town, only to be parted by a BMW slowly traveling down the road. The immense history has remained visible and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing doesn't hurt either. The population growth as well as their stake in the world's business affairs is truly a marvel that can only be appreciated up close and personal.

New Zealand


The country boasts some of the most dramatically different terrain in the world, which matches its spectrum of residents. From rain forests to beaches and fjords to meadows, New Zealand has everything covered. It is an outdoor lovers' dream with the vast recreational opportunities at your fingertips. Bring an extra pair of socks because you will need it on your first or next trip to New Zealand.
