Travel has become this inescapable dream of ours, but it’s not unattainable. The world is vast, and we don’t have enough time to see it all.

But, if you do figure out how to enjoy your vacations without guilt, here’s a list of the top 30 cities of the world that you just have to visit. We understand that it would be asking too much of you to take our word for it. So, we’re going to let the best cities in the world speak for themselves!
Top 30 Cities You Must Visit
1.Cape Town, South Africa
The Table Mountain has a flat-topped appearance, but it’s actually quite difficult to dine atop it!

Don’t take Bunny’s word for it; Venice is not the Dharavi of Italy! It is one of the top 30 cities in the world for the romantics!
3. New York City, USA
Red Stairs. Statue of Liberty. New York Style pizza. ‘Nuff said.
4. Athens, Greece
5. Dubai, UAE
The perfect blend of culture and urbanization. Bid Al HaByeBye to your worries!

8. Istanbul, Turkey
In the worlds of the French poet Alphonse de Lamartine, “If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul
9. Berlin, Germany
Combines the culture of New York, the traffic system of Tokyo, the nature of Seattle, and the historical treasures of, well, Berlin!

In the necklace of European cities, Prague is a glorious diamond among pearls! Does it surprise you that it has made it to the list of best places to visit?
11. St Petersburg, Russia
12. Barcelona, Spain
You’re going to write to us for this, but Barcelona is pretty much the favorite most team of Spain. Wait, wrong Barcelona…
13. Seattle, Washington
Seattle has something for everyone; be it the Grey’s Anatomy fans or the Twilight fans. We’re sorry.
14. Los Angeles, California
It’s Hollywood! It singlehandedly pulls down the self-esteem of the rest of the world! If that isn’t appealing, what is?!
15. Las Vegas, Nevada
Lavish hotels, grand casinos, and mostly unattended chapels for the drunk. Dream vacation!
16. Madrid, Spain
They say that nobody goes to bed in Madrid until they’ve killed the night! No wonder Madrid made it to the list of top 30 cities to visit!
17. Paris, France
A bad day in Paris is still better than a good day anywhere else!

Rocky weather will never hold you down in Denver. Get it? Colorado Rockies?

Bloom is the second most popular Orlando in the world.
21. Sydney, Australia
The mystery of random encounters with kangaroos is something you have to find out for yourself!

Your closest bet to live your DDLJ fantasies: you’ll finally have the answer to when the next train to Zurich is!
25. Edinburgh, Scotland
Get your kilts ready; they say Edinburgh is so beautiful, it breaks your heart over and over.
26. Kathmandu, Nepal
The epitome of Nepal’s history, art, culture and economy; quite a lot of pressure, and Kathmandu delivers too!

Tokyo has been mentioned in over 200 songs. That’s a lot.
28. Jaipur, India
The culture of Jaipur will leave you Pink in the face. Hehe.
29. Mexico City, Mexico

We hope we have inspired you enough to get your passport ready and visit these top 30 cities of the world! Sure, the wallet might protest, but what is it those millennials say these days? YOLO? Yea, that.
