If you are looking for something extraordinary on your vacation beyond Canada, we have some recommendations to you.


Paris

From its Haussmann-designed boulevards to the winding backstreets of the Marais and Montmartre, Paris' history as a center of culture, ideas and arresting architecture remains vivid. Drink coffee in Place des Voges; read books on the banks of the Seine at Shakespeare and Co.; or eat classic French dishes in a restaurant in St Germain. Throw in sights from the Louvre to Notre Dame, Les Invalides to the Eiffel Tower, and you're looking at the world's most picture-perfect city.


Rome

Rome is home to some of the world's most breathtaking architectural sites and Renaissance art. It's impossible not to feel the pull of the past when spending time in the Italian capital. Get lost in Rome's royal atmosphere at the Coliseum, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum. Brave the queues and wonder at St Peter's and the Sistine Chapel, while learning about how the Vatican and Christianity came to take power.


Hong Kong

The views of the towering skyscrapers(摩天大楼) of Hong Kong Island from Victoria Harbor are typical, while the Mid-Level Escalators make exploring the central district's bars, restaurants and backstreets a breeze.

Beyond are some of the greenest hiking spaces and emptiest beaches in Asia.

Thick forests. Vast sandy bays. And that gorgeous ocean. Hawaii is undoubtedly some kind of paradise. Unlike any other US state, thanks to its location far out in the Pacific, this is a place for adventurers, sun seekers and dreamers.
