MY TOP 5 PICKS
JejuIsland, SouthKorea
Jeju Island, South Korea: Jeju Island is an area of natural beauty with a volcanic coastline and impressive waterfalls like Jeonbang (pictured) and Cheonjiyon Falls. A destination well suited to the active traveler, activities on offer include hiking up Mount Hallasan, scuba diving, and swimming is the island's second largest city, Seogwipo. Travelers recommend Olle Market for street food and fresh produce and downtown Seogwipo for traditional Korean restaurants.
As beautiful as this may be, I'd be a bit skeptical about the volcanos. Well, I guess they're all dormant, so no need to worry.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh, Scotland: Edinburgh is a beautiful city with must-sees; including the Edinburgh Castle (touring it with an audio guide is recommended). Climb up to Arthur's Seat for unparalleled views of the city, stroll through the cobbled streets of the Old Town and, at night, experience the atmosphere of places like The Dome, The Witchery and The Outsider restaurants. Head to the city in August for the world famous Fringe festival if, comedy and drama are your thing.
This is definitely one of my favourite places to visit. It's all it's hyped up to be and more.
Bilbao, Spain
Bilbao, Spain: Take a wander down the Ria de Bilbao (you can also take boat rides down the actual river) and walk over the many famous bridges the Basque city has to offer. Bilbao is home to many museums, including the world famous Guggenheim and Fine Arts museum. Visit one of the many pintxos small plates tapas bars for scrumptious traditional food and if views are your thing, an old fashioned cable railway takes you up to Mount Artxanda for panoramic views of the city.
What a joy it would be to be in one of those boats right now, but I guess Aunty Rona had other plans.
When everything gets back to 'normal;' well, the 'new normal, grab a friend or your partner and check out some of these places.
