Times Square, New York

With 50 million visitors annually, Manhattan’s monument to billboards, Broadway and buskers is a must. It all began at Long Acre Square when New York Times publisher Adolph S. Ochs built his paper’s office tower in an area benefitting from the recent arrival of electric lighting and the subway. Times Tower opened in 1904. Shortly after, former Mayor McClellan renamed the square after the paper, and it’s still used for the New Year’s celebration they pioneered.

Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

Hong Kong may be most famous for the busy waterway separating the island’s glittering skyscrapers from the commercial mainland at Kowloon. The most spectacular views of the city are from the water, whether seen on a cheap Star Ferry connecting Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui, a traditional Chinese junk or a guided cruise. Set sail after sunset for the world’s largest light and sound show at 8 p.m. nightly, when the city’s skyscrapers erupt into seasonally themed lighting effects synchronized to music.

Matterhorn, Switzerland

The jagged, 14,692-foot Matterhorn peak resembles a flint ax head above the posh resort town of Zermatt. Higher than most of the peaks in the Alps near the Italian border, the mountain attracts skiers and snowboarders in winter with fine snow conditions and grooming, and sightseers year-round who want to ride the funicular.

Library of Celsus, Ephesus, Turkey

The Library of Celsus commemorating the Roman governor Julius Celsus Polemaeanus was commissioned by his son and begun in 110 A.D. Originally two stories tall with a central reading room and three tiers of decorative niches holding life-size statues, it was reconstructed from ruins by archeologists during the 1970s. The excellent replicas and stunning facade restoration make it among the top excursions for cruise ship visitors to the ancient port of Ephesus.

Blue Mosque, Istanbul

Although Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar attracts millions of visitors, the city’s most authentic must-see is Sultanahmet Camii, the Blue Mosque built for Sultan Ahmet I in the 17th century. In addition to the stunning blue-glazed tiles that decorate the dome and walls, look for layers of prayer rugs from the Muslim world and Sultan Ahmet’s tomb. Dress modestly (long slacks for men, head coverings for women), remove shoes and respect the prayer times when it closes briefly for non-Muslims.
