Full of history, art, and delicious food, Italy ranks high on many people\u2019s travel bucket lists. After you work up an appetite touring the Colosseum in Rome, cool down with some fresh gelato and tasty treats on a foodie walking tour.

\"Beautiful<\/p>\n

The beautiful beaches of Thailand make the perfect destination if relaxing in paradise is one of your bucket list activities.

Soar over the red sands of the pristine Dubai desert<\/a> and look for wild camels, gazelles, and oryx far below. Or fly above a patchwork of farmland and quaint towns in the Spanish countryside in a hot air balloon ride from Barcelona<\/a>. After your sunrise ride over the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia in Turkey<\/a>, touchdown to a toast of sparkling wine.<\/p>\n

The jagged peak of the Matterhorn pierces the sky as you ski down some of the most scenic slopes in the world. Whether you\u2019re an expert or a beginner on the snow, you can fulfill your dream of skiing the Swiss Alps<\/a> on a guided adventure. Connect with the local culture in Switzerland when you visit the idyllic towns of the Appenzell region<\/a> or the alpine village of Lucerne<\/a>.
