Beyond the famed Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, and Taronga Zoo lies a city and a state where history, nature, and culture combine in remarkable ways.

We know which one we’d choose and which destination we’d visit for a big adventure: Australia.

One of Europe’s biggest countries with one of its most complex histories, Germany is a destination that rewards repeated visits. It offers dynamic, unique cities such as Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Cologne, with plenty of often sobering history to discover. But ‘practical and efficient’ Germany can also seem blissfully romantic, particularly in its southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Wuttemburg. The country’s two biggest airport hubs at Frankfurt and Munich offer perfect start and end points for any trip through this beautiful region, or take a round trip to dive deeper into one of Europe’s most exciting countries.

For a relatively small country, Ireland fires the imagination like few others. For many North Americans, Ireland is in their blood. The history of North American immigration is in many ways the history of Irish emigration, and countless stories from Ellis Island, Newfoundland, and other points of arrival find their beginnings in Ireland.
