There are many different types of destinations, including:
- Natural attractions: Beaches, national parks, mountains, deserts, and forests.
- Cultural attractions: Historical places, monuments, ancient temples, museums, art galleries, botanical gardens, and cultural events.
- Man-made attractions: Castles, forts, libraries, skyscrapers, and bridges.
- Sport attractions: Soccer games, Formula 1 races, and sailing regattas.
- Health tourism: Spa and wellness retreats, or traveling to another country for medical treatment.
Ocean Cruise: In the ancient world, sea travel was an established, relatively common way of transportation between port cities, especially across the Mediterranean. Although passenger vessels did not exist, travelers could purchase passage on virtually any ship carrying goods. Large ships could accommodate hundreds of travelers. Today, ocean and river cruiselines travel the waterways with leisure travelers.
Cruise ship, a large ship used primarily for leisure cruising. While earlier cruises were usually undertaken on ships that had been built for a different primary purpose—such as mail delivery ships or ocean liners meant for transportation— modern cruise ships are essentially floating holiday resorts that feature entertainment, sports activities, and multiple restaurants.
River cruising as it's known today was introduced to Europe in the late 1960s. Before that, barges were used to transport goods along European waterways, and remained a popular and economical way to do business even after the railroad was introduced.
Some of the best places to go on a river cruise in Europe include:
- Northern Rhine (Germany)
- Southern Rhine (France, Germany, and Switzerland)
- Rhône (France)
- Western Danube (Austria and Germany)
- Eastern Danube (Hungary and Serbia)
- Douro (Portugal)
- Seine (France)
- Main (Germany)
More than a century after making the first controlled, sustained flights of a heavier-than air aircraft, Wilbert and Orville Wright remain household names and key-figures in the narrative of early 20th-century American innovation and ingenuity.
The first public railway in the world opened in England in 1823. The first operational railroads in the United States were built in the 1820s and 1830s, primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and New England states.
Today, the U.S. has just one train operator, Amtrak, and it runs inter-city rail services in 46 of the 48 contiguous states.

Of course, you can certainly take a roadtrip by bus, or by car, van or recreational vehicle.
