A
Here are some top cities to visit in the world.
Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town shines at the southern point of the African continent. Explore Table Mountain National Park, which spreads along the Atlantic coast from Signal Hill to Cape Point. At Boulders Beach near Cape Point, share the sand with nearly 3，000 African penguins. Within the national park is Lion’s Head peak. Walk up Lion’s Head for excellent views of the coast and Robben Island.
Zermatt, Switzerland
This Alpine Swiss city is most famous for the Matterhorn, a huge mountain with one of the highest summits (顶峰) in Europe. In its shadow is tiny Zermatt, a carfree town of just over 5，000 people. While winter is the most popular time for worldclass skiing, summer is a great time to hike the surrounding Alps.
Barcelona, Spain
This magical city in the Catalonia region of Spain has everything from grand beaches to Antoni Gaudi’s imaginative architecture. Take an hourlong train ride to the mountain of Montserrat and see the amazingly shaped rocks that influenced Gaudi’s work.
Prague, Czech Republic
This Eastern European city is the modern capital of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia. Walk across the Charles Bridge and visit the John Lennon Wall to get a sense of the city’s quiet revolutionary (革命的) soul. From the unique art of David Cerny—often hidden in plain sight—to the growing counterculture (反主流文化) scene, Prague is full of surprises.
Goreme, Turkey
This city is home to Goreme National Park, an openair museum and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the 10thand 11thcentury cave churches that display rare examples of Byzantine art. Goreme is a popular destination for backpackers—travelers often on monthslong trips. The area is also an excellent place to enjoy Turkish food and wine.
