10. Lisbon, Portugal (2000 B.C.?)
Set on seven low hills, on the north banks of the River Tagus, Lisbon’s charm is strongly linked to the past. Lisbon was first inhabited by Iberian people, responsible for building the megaliths. After centuries of growing, Lisbon is now one of the liveliest cities in Europe. The renovated palaces, magnificent churches and Art Nouveau buildings are just a few of the things that make up the city’s cultural heritage. There’s an impressive collection of ancient and modern art in many of the city’s museums such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, the National Coach Museum, and the Carmo Archaeological Museum. When you’ve seen all the cultural attractions, be sure to head down to Bairro Alto, the center of nightlife, packed with restaurants, bars and clubs. There are also plenty of shopping opportunities either for local merchandise at the Campo de Santa Clara or famous brands in the Centro Commercial Colombo.
If you are one of those people who long for a peaceful retreat and a life surrounded by serene and natural environment even for just a few days, then Cocoa Island in the Maldives is the perfect travel and vacation place for you. It is an atoll, an island of coral that encircles a lagoon, in the shallow waters of a coral reef in the Indian Ocean. It is just a ten minute walk from end to end with absolutely nothing on it but the hotel. If you are the type of traveler who longs for an active nightlife, this place is not for you.
