Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

From Shoreditch’s swaggering style to Camden’s p***y vibe and chic Portobello Road, London is many worlds in one. The city’s energy means that no two days are the same. Explore royal or historic sites, tick off landmarks from your bucket list, eat and drink in exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoy a pint in a traditional pub, or get lost down winding cobbled streets and see what you stumble across – when it comes to London, the possibilities are endless.

Dubai is a destination that mixes modern culture with history, adventure with world-class shopping and entertainment. Catch a show at the Dubai Opera, see downtown from atop the Burj Khalifa and spend an afternoon along Dubai Creek exploring the gold, textile and spice souks. If you’re looking for thrills, you can float above the desert dunes in a hot air balloon, climb aboard a high-speed ride at IMG Worlds of Adventure or skydive over the Palm Jumeirah.

Florence offers plenty of world-famous attractions, including the Duomo, Piazzale Michelangelo and Piazza della Signoria. Plus, it's a haven for art lovers thanks to art-focused museums like the Galleria dell'Accademia and the Uffizi Gallery. After appreciating this historic Italian city's Renaissance architecture and art, sample some of the region's delectable Tuscan food and wine at Florence's quaint cafes, gelato shops and ristorantes. Then, cross the Ponte Vecchio to get to the acclaimed Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens, where you'll find fountains, meticulously landscaped green spaces and panoramic views.

Dotted with luxurious boutique hotels, this Caribbean destination is tailor-made for lovebirds and adrenaline junkies. Those in search of relaxation will find it on the island's unspoiled shorelines (specifically Reduit Beach and Anse Chastanet). Meanwhile, adventure seekers can test their limits climbing the Pitons or zip lining through the Chassin region's rainforest. The dry season, December to April, is the most popular (and expensive) time to visit, but budget-conscious travelers can find superb weather and cheaper room rates if they arrive in May or June.

Stunning Persian Gulf views, heart-pumping activities and historical landmarks await you in Dubai. This Middle Eastern city is filled with some of the world's most notable and unique attractions, including the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall and indoor Ski Dubai. But the city still holds onto its heritage, as seen in the Bastakiya Quarter and the traditional Gold and Spice souks. When you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, head to a sandy shore like Jumeirah Beach, Sunset Beach or Al Mamzar Beach Park.

The “capital of Scandi-Cool” gets more incredible with each visit. Newly opened, the Munch Museum is the latest addition to Oslo’s ever-evolving fjord front, showcasing the work of Norway’s most famed artist (that’s Edvard Munch, alongside the work of his contemporaries). This and the iconic Oslo Opera House welcome tourists to the modern Bjørvika development, which is rising up from a former highway junction and container port. Here and in the adjacent, trendy Oslobukta, you can sauna on land or afloat—or eat at one of the city’s newest hotspots, like The Vandelay, a laidback launch from Esben Holmboe Bang, the chef behind 3-Michelin-starred Maaemo (right around the corner).

Salvador is the birthplace of Carnival and is also a more accurate portrayal of Brazil’s diversity. Afro-Brazilians are the majority in Salvador, just as they are in the country itself. Southern cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are either too segregated or too fast-paced and cemented to showcase this richness. Oh, and the city’s two best restaurants are led by women. You must eat at Casa de Tereza (run by Tereza Paim, a celebrity in these parts) as well as Andréa Ribeiro’s Mistura Contorno.

Samba-soundtracked Salvador was an intended “Where to Travel” pick for that elusive 2021 list—and the colorful coastal Bahian capital still awaits your visit. You can meander through colonial Pelourinho in search of shrimp-stuffed acarajé; learn about the Candomblé religion, which traces its roots to both Catholicism and Voodoo; and find yourself at the doorstep of Brazil’s most sprawling and sun-soaked beaches.

The city is rich with milestones of the Civil Rights Movement, including where Dr. King lived and preached, where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, and the courthouse where buses were finally, legally desegregated, but there’s also so much of the present and future to get excited about. Michelle Browder of More Than Tours can tap you into the city’s complex heart and tie everything together. Don’t miss the art scene developing at Kress on Dexter, a former (and formerly segregated) department store that now houses galleries—or the warm company of locals (and local craft beer) at Goat Haus, a biergarten in a Victorian mansion. Cap it all off with an evening cheering on the local minor league baseball team, the Montgomery Biscuits.

I rushed to Montgomery for a short trip in May 2018 to see the just-opened, much-heralded Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice (which you might have heard referred to as the “lynching memorial”). I’ve been wanting to bring friends and family back ever since, and a trip this year feels even more important. Not only did the museum and memorial open my mind and break my heart—while giving me hope that we could do better—but the whole capital city and everyone I met there exuded a warmth and creativity that I’d love to revisit.
