Adventurous skiers can also partake in a unique "ski safari," traversing the region's valleys and mountaintop rifugios while their luggage awaits them at each destination.
Normandy holds a place on the bucket list of many travelers, owing to its significant role in World War II.

Start your journey by visiting the iconic Meiji Jingu Shinto shrine, followed by a delightful bento box picnic in the nearby Yoyogi Park. Alternatively, marvel at Louise Bourgeois' monumental Maman spider sculpture, which stands sentinel outside the Mori Modern Art Museum. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo for its superb location in Roppongi, a neighborhood synonymous with Tokyo's vibrant arts and culture scene.
Botswana is an idyllic safari destination offering exhilarating bush drives and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Venturing into the vast, open spaces away from crowds provides a unique opportunity to observe animal behavior and interactions.
