Miami


Miami is a popular tourist destination which is known for its warm climate, beautiful beaches, and diversity. So if you are a person who likes warm weather and spent time in the beach, Miami is one of the places you should definitely go. Miami offers you warm days and nights to enjoy 24 hours of your stay in Miami. The sunny and warm weather makes the beaches even better to enjoy, which draws the attention of millions of tourists. Who wouldn't want to enjoy miles of white sand beaches with turquoise waters? I know I would, and I simply loved it. The South Beach, which is the most famous one, is beautiful and very calm. It is a perfect place to spend a sunny day. Just don't forget to take your sunblocks and don't forget to use them! Miami has a diverse mix of neighborhoods, which are rich in culture and tradition. One place where you can see this diversity is in Little Havana that is a Cuban Latin neighborhood. Every street and buildings are unique. Obviously, Miami also offers premium shopping locations such as Aventura Mall, Coco Walk, Bell Harbor Mall and etc. It is as if Miami was a city made to shop, containing everything from the finest designer shops, it makes a perfect place for all of those who loves to shop. Miami is also known for having an exciting night life, but unfortunately, people of my age will have to wait a little longer. =] But for those who are old enough, can certainly have a great time at night and Miami's skyline at night is b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l!
From spotless beaches to premium malls, Miami offers all the entertainment for a perfect visit. I loved Miami, it's definitely a place that has everything that I love. Miami is a place that everybody has to see and enjoy the most of everything Miami has to offer.

Rio de Janeiro


Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city in Brazil, is most certainly a city that must go on the list. Most films such as Tropa do Elite shows only the violent and negative side of Rio de Janeiro (which is concentrated on favelas and not everywhere) and does not show its true beauty. It is probably most famous for its natural setting; the beaches such as Copacabana and Ipanema. Rio de Janeiro's beaches are probably the most beautiful of the world and awes all of those who visits these perfect beaches. Some famous landmarks in Rio are: the 'Cristo Redentor', which is located on the top of the Corcovado Mountain and is one of the seven wonders of the world, and the 'Pão-de-Açucar, which is a mountain and there is a cable car you can go in. The carnival celebrations are also very famous in Rio de Janeiro. It is a huge celebrations with lots of music, dancing, parades and fun. The ethnic diversity in Rio gives the tourist various types of restaurants to chose from especially portuguese, japanese and italian.
This is a great city and I am grateful that it is in the same country that I live in, which gives me more opportunities to go back. Rio de Janeiro's landscape is beautiful, especially the beaches. Everybody should go to Rio de Janeiro once in their lives to know exactly the kind of beauty I am talking about. Don't worry, you won't get shot walking down the street, just stay away from the favelas! =]

New York


New York or the Big Apple is with no doubt a must-see city. There is something about this city that cannot be captured in pictures or described in words, you have to experience it. This gigantic city has many things to offer that will assure the entertainment of all of those who visits this city. Like any other great cities, there are many entertaining places to visit such as the Statue of Liberty. Make sure to go to the top of the Empire State Building to see the amazing sight, go to Time Square preferably at night, skate at the Rock feller center, visit the American Museum of National History, visit Central Park and don't forget to watch the famous broadway shows in New York. From my experience, I had lots of fun in all of these places and I am sure everybody else would have a great time too. For all of those who enjoy shopping, New York is definitely the right place to go for it is a shopping paradise. Malls, shops, boutiques are everywhere but the most famous street is the Fifth Avenue. In this street, you can find every shop you desire and a day in this avenue flies by. For all of those who are seeking entertainment during the vacation, New York should probably be in your list.
New York, the city that never sleeps, is certainly a very agitated city but I simply love it. I think I'll never get bored of this gigantic city.

London


A city that certainly cannot be left out is London. The capital of England is wonderful city where individuals of all ages have millions of things to do and is able to enjoy themselves. Attractions are one reason you should visit London, some of the must-see attractions are Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Big Ben. Each with a beauty of their own. If London had a mascot, it would certainly be the guards with the big furry hats and red uniforms, so you should not miss is the Changing of the Guard in the Buckingham Palace. If is entertaining to watch them play the instruments and march as they change guards. When I went there, they played Mamma Mia and Thriller, it was amazing. London is also well known for the many parks, the fresh air and nature. It is a place where you can relax under a big tree breathing fresh air, and is not like other big polluted cities. Other things you shouldn't miss is the tour on the big, double-deck, red buses through the beautiful city of London, a ride in the London Eye and London Dungeon. It is an extremely calm city yet full of entertainment and fun. In London, there are 40,000 shops and 83 mains street markets to choose from, definitely good news to people to enjoys shopping. Harrods is world-famous department store and it is gigantic inside. Foods are also delicious, don't forget to try the traditional british fish 'n' chips and the breakfasts are the BEST!
London is definitely a city you feel comfortable and at home. It is calm, clean, full of nice people, foods, and entertainment. I will surely go back to visit London as soon as I can.

Paris


The capital of France, Paris, is without question one of the top 10 places to visit. Paris is simply beautiful, and its beauty can be found in every place you go. Paris is the place most famous and beautiful architecture is found such as the world famous Eiffel Tower by the Seine River. Other amazing architectures located in Paris are the Notre Dame and the Arc of Triomphe. Every detail of these 3 architectures are flawless. For art lovers, Paris becomes the haven because of the many museums and galleries. The most famous museum is the Louvre, where you can find the famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. Louvre is so big that 1 or 2 hours is not enough to see all the paintings, by doing a complete tour in Louvre you have done enough exercise for the day. At least I got very tired after so much walking. But to compensate all the walking, great food and drinks are available. French cuisine is unique for the delicious food that is served to perfection. France is also very famous for their wine and other drinks. There are a huge choice of restaurants and cafes to pick from. One thing I really loved was the macarons, which are french sweets. They come in various flavors, and all of them are simply delicous! Another reason to visit Paris is because you can have a glimpse of the past by visiting historical places like the Palace of Versailles, which is absolutely wonderful. Shopping and entertainment is something that can't be left out. Champs-Elysee is a great place to go shopping without spending so much. Paris is so much fun, I wish I could go back. I can't think of anyone that wouldn't enjoy Paris.

Rome


Rome, the capital of Italy, is probably one of the most popular and beautiful place to visit. Also known as the "Eternal City", Rome has incredible antique arquitecture, mouth-watering foods and drinks, amazing art and shopping. From my experience, it is impossible get bored in Rome because there are so many places to visit and foods to eat. Top places you should visit in Rome are the Vatican, Colosseum, Pantheon, all the beautiful fountains and squares such as the Trevi Fountain, and all other arquitectures not mentioned. They are all unique and extraordinary in thier own way, even the buildings that are not famous or important are stunning. When you say Rome, pasta and pizzas are probably one of the first things that come to your mind. You can taste the true italian food in Rome and they are with no doubt, delicious. There are so many types of pizzas and pastas that you take about 20 minutes only reading through the menu. I've spent 6 days in Rome and didn't get the chance to taste them all. The arts in Rome are breathtaking, every museum you go there are different types of art. The most famous museum is the Vaticans Museum. I think this reason is mostly for girls, but shopping in Rome is the best! You can just walk through one long street (Via del Corso) and you find all the stores you can imagine.
You could live your whole life in Rome, and not a day in your life you'd have nothing to do. If I had to describe Rome in one word it would be PERFECT! Rome is certainly a city you must visit before you die.
