Labrador, Canada
Not only is Labrador utterly breath-taking, but it is also home to a new national park.

Vienna, Austria

You can also take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage or on the Wiener Riesenrad giant Ferris wheel. Despite its many fantastic attractions, such as Belvedere and Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna doesn’t experience too many tourists in comparison to other major cities.
Valletta, Malta
There is no better year to visit Valletta, as it is currently celebrating its award of European Capital of Culture 2018. Expect to marvel at the melting pot of European influences, as the capital was built by the Knights of St John after the Great Siege of 1565. In celebration of its recent award, you can enjoy everything from fireworks, dance, theatre, opera, and music across the city.
