Across the globe, there are magnificent cities – a lot more than the few mentioned here – that offer travellers, and residents, so much.

If you find yourself in New York City, for example, the trip couldn’t be complete without a leisurely walk in Central Park or seeing a dazzling show on Broadway.

In Cape Town, South Africa, there’s the UNESCO World Heritage Site Robben Island – where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned – that symbolises the triumph of the human spirit, of freedom and of democracy over oppression.

Then in Toyko, there’s the Ghibli Museum that showcases the incredible work of Studio Ghibli, a Japanese animation studio, that made Spirted Away, Howl’s Moving Castle and Neighbor Totoro.

Become enchanted by the romantic city of Paris, France, and enjoy the pretty twinkling of the Eiffel Tower that lights up the night sky.
