In true Italian style, the hillside town also has architectural and culinary delights just waiting to be discovered!

3. Belgrade, Serbia
Fondly known as the ‘Paris of the East’, Belgrade is coming in hot as an exciting destination for 2023. The capital city of Serbia is rugged yet beautiful, and relatively untouched. Picture street art, a heavily meat-oriented specialties, a fun night life and that sums up Belgrade.
Experience Belgrade with Avalon or Cosmos.
4. Hiroshima, Japan
While Hiroshima marks one of Japan’s worst moments in its history, it has since rebuilt itself to stand stronger than ever. There is so much to learn about that fateful August 1945 date, from the stark Atomic Bomb Dome to the fascinating Peace Memorial Museum. Aside from this, there are a wide variety of things to see, do and eat within the city and nearby. Our favourites are the nearby Miyajima Island with its floating torii gate, and Okonomi-mura, a building featuring multiple levels and stalls selling okonomiyaki (a savoury pancake).

5. Galway, Ireland
It’s time to add some shenanigans to your bucket list for 2023! And there’s no better place to do this than in Galway.

For first timers to Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City (or Saigon) is the perfect city to start in.
