Switzerland
Clean, punctual, and almost clinically beautiful. Switzerland works — trains stitch together Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, and Zermatt on a single pass, and every valley has a different language. Hike in…

Sydney is Bondi-to-Opera-House in a single walk; Melbourne is coffee, laneways, and AFL; the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru are flights you plan the trip around. English-speaking, politely informal, and…
