Prague A prosperous and bustling city, Prague
now attracts more tourists than ever. But its
picturesque downtown veils both a dark legacy and
a resilient past. Back to A.D. 870, Prague has
withstood numerous overthrows, invasions, fires
and floods. It's this reputation for survival and
perseverance that has made the Czech capital so
fascinating. Today, its storied churches, narrow
streets, daunting hilltop castle and statue-lined
bridges create the scene of an urban fairy tale.

Vienna
History is at the heart of Vienna both literally
and figuratively. The narrow streets of the Inner
City snake through antiquated buildings,
providing an atmosphere so authentic that you
almost expect a Vienna native like composer
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or psychologist Sigmund
Freud to round a cobblestone corner and greet you
with guten tag. Extravagant baroque palaces
from the Habsburg Monarchy loom over the city,
just as Mozart's classical arias pour from
contemporary cafes.

Taos, NM
For a twist on the traditional Christmas,
consider spending the holidays in this small town
70 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Snow-covered adobe buildings dot the historic
downtown and handmade gifts are available at the
Taos Folk pop-up store. The roster of unique
events includes bonfires on Bent Street, which
features traditional Aztec dancers.
6
London
The English writer Samuel Johnson famously said,
"You find no man, at all intellectual, who is
willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is
tired of London, he is tired of life for there
is in London all that life can afford." More than
two centuries have passed since Johnson's era,
but his words still ring true. Life in London is
nothing short of invigorating and travelers find
that one visit isn't enough to experience
everything this two-millennia-old city has to
offer.

New York City
Christmas
As the most populous city in the U.S. set at
the forefront of food, fashion and the arts NYC
requires stamina. But don't let the Big Apple's
frenetic sights and sounds intimidate you from
soaking up its grandeur. Wander through the
concrete jungle and you'll discover roaring taxis
zipping down bustling blocks, fast-paced
pedestrians strolling past on their way to
marquee galleries and trendy cocktail bars, and
Times Square's neon lights flickering at all
hours.

The fairy tale city of Zurich is set on the banks
of both a river and a lake, with the snow-topped
Swiss Alps rising in the background. Clean
cobblestone streets hug a hilly terrain and
medieval church spires reach heavenward. Despite
its reputation for being the center of old school
international banking and a capital for top-notch
chocolate confections, Zurich is also a very
modern city that chooses to meander through life
at an unhurried pace. Travelers desiring an
authentic experience should strive to do the
same.

Munich
Munich, the most expensive city in Germany, is
also very quaint and perhaps it's this dual
personality that visitors find so charming.
Although München plays host to the country's
200-year-old bacchanalia. Nuzzling the Bavarian
Alps and resting beside the River Isar, the city
is rife with natural beauty and yet its streets
are also lined with man-made marvels, in the form
of designer retail shops and shiny BMWs.
11
Québec City
Québec City the capital of the Canadian
province, Québec dwelled in the shadow of its
neighbor, Montreal, for a long time, but the 2008
celebration of its 400th birthday catapulted
Québec City back into the spotlight. Since then,
travelers have flocked here to experience this
UNESCO World Heritage site's charm for
themselves. As the birthplace of New France,
Québec City continues to uphold the culture of
its motherland.
12
Edinburgh (or Ed-n-bruh in Scots speech) is known
for more than its staggering landscape. The
Athens of the North, as Edinburgh is sometimes
nicknamed, also claims a cast of near-mythic
characters Rebel leader Sir William Wallace (aka
Braveheart) the tragic Mary, Queen of Scots the
Enlightenment thinkers David Hume and Adam Smith
"James Bond" actor Sean Connery and prolific
wordsmiths Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and JK Rowling
are all woven into this very old yet very
relevant city.
13
Amsterdam
Don't believe everything you hear about
Amsterdam. Yes, this Netherlands city takes a lax
look at women beckoning business in the Red Light
District and "coffee shops" selling an unorthodox
type of herb to a toking clientele, but these
descriptions only scratch the surface. At some
point, during an excellent Indonesian meal, a
twilight canal-side rambling or a shopping
excursion through the boutiques of Nine Little
Streets, you'll realize as many travelers have
before you that there's much more to Amsterdam
than you might've thought.
