Most Beautiful Cities In The World.
Do you think you know everything about some of the world’s most spectacular cities? Think again! These exciting and bustling metropolises have centuries – even thousands – of fascinating history behind them, giving each city plenty of interesting facts that can make for a great topic of conversation the next time you’re over dinner or drinks with travel-loving friends.
Until the 1920s, May 1 was ‘Moving Day’ in New York City. If you were going to move apartments that year, you waited until that date and then moved house all at once. As the city grew, the tradition that had been around since colonial times started to fade away as Moving Day became too big and too chaotic – the streets would be jammed with horse-drawn moving carriages! Thankfully, New Yorkers can now move house (and do) any day of the year.
London’s black cab drivers (cabbies) must study street names and local maps for four years and pass a series of tests to be certified with ‘The Knowledge’. Only then, do they get a licence to get behind the wheel of one of the world’s most prestigious taxis. Put sat-navs to shame here; Cabbies are expected to learn around 320 popular routes through 25,000 streets, memorise 20,000 landmarks and popular places, so they can wander through London neighbourhoods without a map.
Boasting at least 170 museums, Germany’s bustling capital has more museums than a rainy day can handle. From Museum Island, a range of diverse and unique experiences including the in-depth Topography of Terror, the Spy Museum and the DDR Museum, where visitors can experience life in historic Germany under communism and even the fun Currywurst (curry sausage) Museum, there’s something for everyone.
Tokyo’s underground and rail network is extensive – and very busy! During rush hours, oshiya (aka: ‘pushers’) are employed to push people onto trains when stations are at their busiest. So when you’re visiting Japan’s capital city, it’s best to try to visit at off-peak times…
When it was first built in 1923, the iconic Hollywood Sign originally spelled out ‘Hollywoodland’ and was an advertisement for a new area of housing being built on the hills above LA’s Hollywood district. In 1949, the Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Department tried to demolish the entire sign, but the city voted against it and only ‘Land’ was removed instead, leaving the remaining nine giant letters to become the iconic sight that remains today.
Seoul is a global hub for tech and innovation, and the country is reported to have the fastest average internet speeds in the world! Boasting broadband of up to 26.1 megabits per second, South Korea also boasts the best 4G availability on the planet – get ready to flood your Instagram feed, you can expect a signal 95% of the time here!
One of Barcelona’s most famous and beautiful landmarks, the Sagrada Familia has taken longer to build than Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza. Designed by Gaudí and listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, construction of the church began in 1882. Currently, it is estimated that the building will be fully completed in 2026, making it one of the longest-running architectural projects in the world.
Stunning South Africa is known for its world-class safari experiences. Even Cape Town’s 2,000 resident African penguins, many of which can be seen at Boulders Beach, are popular with visitors. But these penguins, which have now become the main subject in any travel guide, have come to the mainland only in the last 30-40 years, and this happened because they could not find enough food in their traditional breeding grounds due to human overfishing of sardine stocks in the 1960-70s.
Lisbon is actually one of the oldest cities in the world. First settled around 1200 BC, it is the second oldest European capital after Athens, older than Rome by at least four hundred years. It has a long history that has shaped the city into what it is today – including a massive rebuild after almost the entire city was destroyed in a massive earthquake in 1755.
When China opened the high-speed rail link between Shanghai and Beijing, the country’s two largest and most important cities for finance, business and politics, train coach attendants were trained to smile, showing exactly eight teeth, while working on the train. Something that required a lot of practice, with some even admitting they used chopsticks to keep their jaw in the right position while learning!
