If you require a little more culture from your holidays, then we have a list of your must-visit destinations, cities so jam-packed with culture and history that you’ll barely have time to stop for a coffee!
London
London has as an incredibly impressive selection of free museums and it boasts an almost unparalleled theatre scene and buildings that have a long history. Make time to visit the famous whispering gallery in St Paul’s Cathedral, where strange instruments carry sound in unusual ways.
Rome
Rome is the city for any lover of art and history; from the great and impressive Vatican City to the attractive Colosseum and the romantic Trevi Fountain, it doesn’t just have culture, it has variety.
New York
New York culture might not have such deep historical roots as the great cities of Europe, but its pop art are second to none. Check out the New York Public Library for all sorts of free exhibitions and spot some of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro’s carnival（usually three days in February）is a collection of music, colour and dancing, which expresses the passions of this South American country perfectly, but it’s far from the city’s only treasure—make sure you visit the botanical gardens（植物园）.
Japan
Japan is a country with a rich and varied heritage, and Kyoto is one of its largest cities. Here you can visit temples, and some beautiful gardens. If you have time, visit in the springtime and catch a glimpse of the famous pink and white cherry blossoms.
