All Destinations

Amsterdam

Netherlands · Europe

Amsterdam packs more world-class art, history, and nightlife into its compact canal rings than almost any city on earth. The Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, world-class music venues, and some of the best cycling infrastructure in the world — all within walking or cycling distance of each other.

Antalya

Turkey · Asia

Antalya is Turkey's Mediterranean capital — a city of 2.5 million wrapping a Roman harbour, with the Taurus Mountains rising behind kilometres of beach. The old town (Kaleici) packs Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman layers into a few square kilometres; just outside it sit some of Europe's most extravagant all-inclusive resorts, with Aspendos, Perge and Side close enough for day trips.

Athens

Greece · Europe

Athens is where Western civilisation began — and the city wears its 3,000 years of history with casual Greek confidence. Ancient ruins share the skyline with vibrant street art, rooftop bars overlook the Acropolis, and the food scene has never been better.

Austin

United States · North America

The self-styled "live music capital of the world" and Texas' laid-back tech-boom capital — honky-tonks and taco trucks on South Congress, swimming holes and greenbelts, and a barbecue obsession. Each October the United States Grand Prix packs the purpose-built Circuit of the Americas southeast of town, pairing the race with a stadium-scale concert lineup for one of F1's biggest party weekends.

Baku

Azerbaijan · Asia

Azerbaijan's Caspian-shore capital, where the UNESCO-walled medieval Old City (Icherisheher) sits beneath the flame-shaped glass towers of an oil-boom skyline. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix races through it all — a fast, walled street circuit that threads past the ancient city walls and along the Caspian boulevard, one of F1's most dramatic urban settings.

Bali

Indonesia · Asia

Bali is one of the world's most seductive islands — volcanic peaks, rice terraces, Hindu temples, and a surf culture that runs from Canggu to Uluwatu. The food scene has exploded from warung street food to world-class fine dining. For wellness, creativity, and sheer beauty, it remains unmatched.

Bangkok

Thailand · Asia

Bangkok is one of the world's great food cities — from ¥50 pad thai on a plastic stool to Asia's number-one restaurant. Layer in ornate temples, a chaotic expressway system that somehow works, rivers and canals, and a nightlife that runs until dawn. The city rewards those who get lost in it.

Barcelona

Spain · Europe

Barcelona is one of Europe's great cities — a place where world-class architecture, sun-drenched beaches, and a ferociously proud food culture collide. From Gaudí's impossible spires to the humming lanes of El Born, it rewards every type of traveller at every budget.

Berlin

Germany · Europe

Berlin is Europe's capital of reinvention — a city where Cold War history, world-class clubbing, cutting-edge art, and a fiercely independent food scene coexist in gloriously gritty harmony. Every neighbourhood feels like a different city.

Bogotá

Colombia · South America

Bogotá sits at 2,600 metres in the Andes, a city of eight million that has reinvented itself from notoriety to one of Latin America's most dynamic capitals. The historic La Candelaria district, one of South America's finest Gold Museums, a world-class cycling culture, extraordinary street art in La Macarena, and a restaurant scene that has earned multiple Latin America's 50 Best entries make this a city that consistently surprises visitors.

Brussels

Belgium · Europe

The EU's bilingual capital — the gilded guildhouses of the Grand-Place, Art Nouveau facades, and a national obsession with beer, waffles, chocolate and frites. It's also the natural base for the Belgian Grand Prix: the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the forested Ardennes lies about 90 minutes southeast, its Eau Rouge the most revered corner in Formula 1.

Bucharest

Romania · Europe

Bucharest is Eastern Europe's most underrated capital — a city of grand Belle Époque boulevards, world-class art deco architecture, the absurdly large Palace of the Parliament, and a nightlife scene that regularly tops European rankings. Known as the Little Paris of the East, it offers extraordinary value and increasingly excellent food.

Budapest

Hungary · Europe

Hungary's grand Danube capital — hilly Buda with its castle and thermal baths facing flat, café-lined Pest across chain bridges, plus a famous ruin-bar nightlife. Each summer the Hungarian Grand Prix runs at the Hungaroring, a tight, twisty "Monaco without walls" 20km northeast of the city — a hot, high-downforce classic on the calendar since 1986.

Buenos Aires

Argentina · South America

Buenos Aires is the Paris of South America — a passionate, chaotic, beautiful city where tango echoes through cobblestone streets, steaks sizzle on open grills, and neighbourhoods swing between faded grandeur and avant-garde cool.

Cairo

Egypt · Africa

Cairo is the mother of the world — a 5,000-year-old metropolis where the pyramids of Giza meet 20 million people, Islamic architecture rivals any in the world, and the chaos of the streets is matched only by the warmth of the people.

Cancún

Mexico · North America

Cancún is the gateway to the Mexican Caribbean — a 22-kilometre barrier-island Hotel Zone of turquoise water and white sand, with mainland downtown for local life and a wider Riviera Maya of cenotes, Mayan ruins (Chichén Itzá, Tulum, Cobá) and the bohemian beach towns of Tulum and Playa del Carmen within easy reach.

Cape Town

South Africa · Africa

Cape Town is the most beautiful city in the world by many measures — Table Mountain rising directly from the ocean, the Cape Peninsula winding to the meeting of two oceans, world-class wine country 45 minutes away, and some of Africa's finest restaurants. The favourable rand exchange rate makes it extraordinary value at every tier.

Cartagena

Colombia · South America

Cartagena is the jewel of the Colombian Caribbean — a UNESCO-listed walled city of candy-coloured mansions, bougainvillea-draped balconies, and steamy Caribbean nights. Colonial grandeur meets Caribbean music, and the beaches of the Rosario Islands are a short boat ride away.

Casablanca

Morocco · Africa

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and economic capital — a cosmopolitan, largely modern city that bears little resemblance to the romantic image conjured by its name. The magnificent Hassan II Mosque, one of the world's largest and the only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslims, sits on a promontory over the Atlantic. Art deco architecture from the French Protectorate era lines the boulevards, and the dining scene has become increasingly sophisticated.

Copenhagen

Denmark · Europe

Copenhagen is the happiest city in the world — and it shows. World-leading restaurants, cycling culture, colourful harbours, innovative architecture, and a cosy hygge atmosphere make Denmark's capital one of Europe's most rewarding destinations.

Doha

Qatar · Asia

Qatar's gleaming Gulf capital — the dhow-lined Corniche and restored Souq Waqif beside I.M. Pei's Museum of Islamic Art and the futuristic towers of West Bay. Host of the Qatar Grand Prix at the Lusail International Circuit, a fast, flowing floodlit track just north of the city in the purpose-built district of Lusail, and a World-Cup-polished stage for luxury travel.

Dubai

United Arab Emirates · Asia

Dubai is the city that built itself out of desert in 50 years — the world's tallest building, the world's largest mall, man-made palm islands, and some of the most ambitious architecture on earth. Beyond the superlatives, the food scene is extraordinary, the hotel stock is among the world's finest, and the city works remarkably well.

Dublin

Ireland · Europe

A small capital that punches far above its size on literature, drinking and conversation — Joyce, Beckett, Wilde and Heaney all came through, and the pubs they wrote in are mostly still open. Georgian squares, the Liffey cutting through the middle, and the Wicklow mountains within an hour of the centre.

Dubrovnik

Croatia · Europe

Dubrovnik is the Pearl of the Adriatic — a walled medieval city perched on limestone cliffs above a crystalline sea. Its terracotta rooftops, marble streets, and baroque churches create one of the most photogenic cityscapes in Europe.
