• Rome  With the Italian cuisine, views of the Colosseum and trips to the Vatican City, Rome has an attraction for every kind of vacation. Rome also tops U.S. & World Report's list of best affordable vacations in Europe.

• Sydney Opera House, a trip to this Australian city can include a visit to the Sydney Harbor and local beaches like Coogee and Bondi.

• Egypt Political strife and economic woes have taken a toll on Egypt’s tourism industry in recent years, but travelers will soon have a new reason to visit. On the arid plains of Giza not far from the Great Pyramids, a modern monument is under construction that’s more than two decades and nearly $1 billion in the making. The Grand Egyptian Museum will showcase the finest treasures of the pharaohs — including the body and golden funeral mask of Tutankhamen — in a structure spanning nearly 650,000 square feet. In addition to more than 100,000 artifacts, including pieces currently stored in the vaults of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the new museum will sport a Modernist design courtesy of Heneghan Peng Architects. Chosen from more than 1,550 design proposals from architects in 82 countries, the final building will echo both the geography of the plateau on which it rests as well as the Pyramids themselves. When the museum partially opens in 2018, visitors in the immense atrium can soak in the majestic sight of both the Pyramid of Menkaure and the Great Pyramid of Khufu from a floor-to-ceiling glass wall. —Diana Hubbell

• Vacationers in Porto can experience the coastal city's namesake port wine, as well as beaches and architecture. According to U.S. & World report, this Portuguese destination can be cheaper than European trips.

•  London Landmarks like the historic Tower of London and Buckingham Palace represent London's past, while many of the city's restaurants, nightlife and metropolitan neighborhoods offer a more modern experience.

•  Paris Vacationers flock to sights like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Cafes, museums and shopping districts provide endless options to explore.

• Marrakesh, Morocco The cultural hub in the heart of the north African country is in the midst of an artistic renaissance, according to Travel and Leisure. The opening of the YSL Museum (dedicated entirely to the work of legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent) and the upcoming launch of a high-profile African art fair have added to the city’s prominent gallery spaces, doubling down on the Marrakesh’s historic reputation as a haven for artists and writers.

• Archipelago Sea, Finland The Archipelago Sea, an extension of the Baltic, contains the largest archipelago in the world, with estimates hovering around 50,000 islands. They are a popular travel destination for native Finns, but often overlooked by outsiders. Norwegian Air has the potential to change that, however, with new transatlantic flights starting around $350, according to Travel + Leisure. When not island-hopping, check out the nearby mainland center of Turku, which served as Finland’s capital in medieval times and still remains a cultural hub.

• Florence Located in the Tuscany region, Florence is known for its food and wine. Renaissance art, historical architecture and shops also attract visitors to this Italian city.

• New York City Whether it is a walk through Central Park, seeing a show on Broadway, or shopping on Fifth Avenue, New York City offers an activity for every .

• Albuquerque, New Mexico Rising above its associations with the annual hot-air-balloon festival, Albuquerque will this year set out to prove itself as a fully-fledged destination. The Sawmill District, just north of the historic Old Town, is being revived as a creative center, anchored by the arrival of the Hotel Chaco. The design of this boutique property, which opened in April, is inspired by the state’s indigenous culture, with handmade Navajo wool textiles and pueblo-inspired motifs. Come spring, downtown ABQ will also see the arrival of a new entertainment hub: the $40 million One Central, which will have a sleek bowling lounge, as well as upscale stores and restaurants. And just outside town, visitors will soon be able to experience the striking Sandia Mountains in a nail-biting new way. The proposed Mountain Coaster, an alpine sled-style ride that plunges riders down the mountainside in a total vertical drop of 380 feet, is due to open this fall. Getting to Albuquerque is becoming even easier, thanks to new nonstop flights from major U.S. cities via Southwest, United, and Alaska Airlines. —Melanie Lieberman
