It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighbourhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Queens is the most ethnically diverse area of its size on Earth, which means there's a little something for everyone. Chow down on Indian food, sit in on a traditional Irish pub music session, and dance the night away at a Puerto Rican nightclub, all of it located within a few subway stops. Queens is also the home of the Mets and the US Tennis Open, and the former home of the New York World's Fair, now Flushing Meadow-Corona Park, and Paramount Pictures, now the Museum of the Moving Image.

葡萄牙首都里斯本四處林立的博物館，代表著這裡有非常豐富的歷史與文化。 海事博物館 (Maritime Museum) 非常適合喜愛海洋文化的小孩和大人，而 Casa-Museu Dr. Anastácio Gonçalves 就像是隱世珍寶，有各種繽紛多彩的藝術作品收藏。 如果想要充分認識這座城市的壯觀石材建築，不妨採用步行旅行的方式，不過記得一定要去 Padrao dos Descobrimentos、Mosteiro dos Jeronimos 以及 UNESCO 世界文化遺產 Torre de Belem 一遊。

Roman legions marched into what is now the Rhineland's largest city in 38 B.C. These two thousand years have produced a wealth of sites to visit, from Roman towers to Gothic churches to modern architecture. With a reputation as a fine art centre, Cologne has museums running the gamut from the Museum of Applied Art to Museum Ludwig, home to works by Warhol and Picasso, to the Chocolate Museum. The city has an excellent bus, tram and train system, on which Kolner Tageskarte, Day Tickets, are valid.

蘇黎世為瑞士最大的城市，齊集當代藝術與購物區。市立美術館和里特貝格博物館陳列著各種重要藝術作品。想要選購藝術品的遊客，可以沿著班霍夫大街和尼德朵夫滿足購物慾。參選聖母教堂的夏卡爾彩繪玻璃窗也是不錯的選擇，必定令你讚嘆連連。蘇黎世的俱樂部和酒吧多達 500 間，其中有些更設於游泳池畔，讓你通宵達旦盡情暢玩。此城座落於蘇黎世湖畔，為大眾提供卓越的交通運輸設施，更可讓大家免費租借單車。

柏林除了有豐富的政治歷史之外，同時也是個走在時尚尖端的城市。柏林圍牆代表的是二戰後高壓的政治氛圍，不過現今圍牆已倒，而頹圮的牆上滿佈的塗鴉藝術，印證現今社會進步。記得去參觀 Weltzeituhr (世界時間) 大鐘，鐘上還有個太陽系的模型。之後，你亦可前往獨具歷史意義的 Zur Letzten Instanz，品嚐美味料理；這間餐廳建於 16 世紀，拿破崙和貝多芬以前就常來這裡用餐。

Best known as the site of Napoleon’s exile, Elba’s long history stretches back to pre-Roman times, when it was settled by Ligures and then Etruscans. It’s Tuscany’s biggest island and Italy’s third-largest, offering a great mix of options both cultural (like hilltop towns and castles) and recreational (like hiking, biking, swimming, diving and beaching). There’s an airport at Marina di Campo, but most arrive by ferry from Piombino to Portoferraio (the biggest town), Rio Marina or Porto Azzurro.
