Lucerne
Lucerne is the gateway to a very special place on earth: the Lake Lucerne Region. The mountains are dominant! The Rigi as Queen of the mountains, the rotating cable car up to provide eternal snow on Mount Titlis and the world's steepest cogwheel railway to the Pilatus - this are highlights par excellence.

Bangkok
Bangkok serves as the premier gateway not only for Thailand, but for all of Southeast Asia. Suvarnabhumi International Airport is one of Asia's busiest travel hubs.
The cosmopolitan energy in Bangkok is exhilarating, and it's easy to forget that this city also plays an integral role in Thai culture and history. No sooner do tourists round the corner of a brand-new skyscraper than they come face-to-face with a centuries-old temple or an eclectic open-air market. With unforgettable sites like Temple of Dawn, the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Bangkok remains endlessly fascinating and surprising, even to its residents

Netherlands
The Netherlands today has dispelled all images of it being an archaic land of clogs and windmills, with its string of exciting cities, including the cosmopolitan capital, Amsterdam – one of Europe’s great cities. Elsewhere, Arnhem, Eindhoven, The Hague, Utrecht and the especially buzzing Rotterdam all boast their own charms. Away from the cities, the idyllic land of windmills and tulips does still exist in the bucolic splendor of the countryside, as do a number of coastal towns and resorts, many with fine beaches and similarly interesting heritages to The Netherlands’ bigger historical cities.

Stockholm
It’s easy to make a case for Stockholm as the most beautiful city in Scandinavia, though many insist it would win the same prize on an international scale. In any event, Sweden’s oldest and hippest city has a great deal to offer, from elegant, historic neighborhoods to funky boutiques and an exciting nightlife. Behind it all is a dazzling scene of fjords, lakes and islands.
Most of the shopping and entertainment venues are in Norrmalm commercial district. The area around Odenplan square is brimming with shops, restaurants and clubs.
Djurgarden is a more moneyed area with quiet gardens, chic jazz clubs and a range of shops on its fringes. The garden area hosts a few open-air museums as well as two prominent Swedish universities.

Goa
Goa is the big tourist draw of South India not only for its scores of beautiful beaches, but because you can really be yourself on them.
The Christian Portuguese past has left the whole region with lovely bits of colonial architecture, some very grand. But the most famous and ubiquitous are the tiny and very pretty churches. You notice them everywhere, not just for there surprising number, but for their charming scale. They’re hobbit-sized, some built for parishes of just a couple of dozen. They’re mostly white, which makes them look particularly lovely framed by a bright green rice paddy or surrounded by palms, and they usually feature a bright red door. Enchanting. You’ll find yourself taking a lot of pictures.
But the vast majority of resorts along Goa's long and beautiful coastline south of Anjuna are far more upscale, and cater mostly to families looking for a laid-back time on the palm-fringed sands of the Arabian Sea. There are pretty little villages dotted among the rice fields, all extremely welcoming and friendly. A pleasant sing-song English spoken almost everywhere, and there are very good things to buy at every turn.
