planet are a few reasons why Bangkok remains firmly on the wish-list of any
discerning traveller.

2.
Sydney
Where else in the world does a city interact with the
ocean so spectacularly? By day, lie out on one of the many city beaches or
take a surfing lesson. By night, experience the delights of the most famous
harbour in the world and enjoy that unique Aussie hospitality.
Flights from £589
3. New York
Take a
hike through Central Park, admire the view from the Empire State Building,
hop across to Liberty Island or catch a show on Broadway, then dine in the
trendy restaurants of the Meat Packing District. You'll quickly discover why
this is the city that never sleeps.
Flights and three nights' accommodation from £289
4. Johannesburg
Built above the gold deposits of the Highveld,
Jo'burg is now a glittering grid of skyscrapers - the locals call it the
Manhattan of Africa. Head to the "Top of Africa" in the Carlton
Centre for a dizzying view, take a tour in the Kruger National Park and
visit the Apartheid Museum to understand South Africa's painful past.
Flights from £379
5. Dubai
This tiny
coastal emirate is reinventing itself as a holidaymaker's paradise. Admire
the magnificent sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, sun yourself on the white sandy
beaches, or lose yourself in the souks and shopping centres. Adventurous
types should skip the retail therapy in favour of an organised
four-wheel-drive desert "dune bashing" or a sand-boarding trip.
Flight and three nights' accommodation from £341
6. Cape Town
Presided over by majestic Table Mountain and
flanked by miles of sandy beaches and crashing surf, Cape Town is the jewel
in South Africa's crown. The Whale Coast and the winelands are within easy
reach, as is Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated.
Flights from £429
7. Barcelona
The
daring architectural delights of Antoni Gaudi are the icing on the cake of
one of Europe's great cities - be sure to take in the views from the
stunning Park Guell. Stroll down the lively Ramblas and dine in the
characterful maze of the old town.
Flights from £64
8. Miami
Set along 15
miles of golden sand in Florida, Miami is best known for its baking sunshine
and ice-cool nightlife. When you've tired of the beach, go shopping in the
Miracle Mile, visit the animals of the Metrozoo and the Seaquarium - or
escape the city with an airboat tour on the Everglades.
Flights from £239
9. Perth
Perth
enjoys a fabulous setting on the Swan River on Australia's Indian Ocean
coast. Take a cruise down to the port of Fremantle and back, tuck into some
fine Asian cuisine in the Old Shanghai Markets Food Hall, or escape to the
dunes of North Cottesloe Beach.
Flights and nine nights' accommodation from £774
10. Orlando
When you're not shrieking with excitement at Disney
World, why not improve your golf at one of 23 academies, paddle a swan boat
on Lake Eola, watch whales at Port Canaveral, taste the wines at Lakeridge
Winery, or dine with the fishes at Sharks Underwater Grill at SeaWorld.
Flight and seven nights' accommodation from £329
