The city of Ulm, Germany, features a Gothic cathedral with the tallest spire in the world (528 ft/161 m) dating from 1890—the view from the top is worth the exhausting climb (768 steps).

In the 19th century, local farmers leased small plots on the be...
Overview Introduction This small emirate 105 mi/170 km northeast of Abu Dhabi has no major attractions, but it could be interesting to explore for a day.

The sun hasn't set yet on the United Kingdom.

Regionalism rules in the U.S. Those who manage to travel beyond internationally known cities such as New York or Los Angeles will inevitably conclude that this is a country difficult to define or categorize.

The stretch of coast that runs north of the Tampa area to the Panhandle is often ignored by travelers. This happens, in part, because the views from the road are only intermittently scenic. Those who take the time to get off the main highways, however, will find some interesting and often uncrowded ...

Often seen in conjunction with a visit to Morelia and Patzcuaro, Uruapan, Mexico, doesn't seem to have much to offer, but it's a good starting point for visiting Paricutin, 22 mi/35 km away.

The small town of Urubamba is about 18 mi/29 km northwest of Cusco.

Most consider Ushuaia to be the southernmost city in the world, but technically, the honor goes to the town of Puerto Williams, across the channel in Chile.

There are many places in Utah that can seem as much like another world as another state.

Accordingly, many visitors to Utah will do anything—hi...

Located 30 mi/50 km southeast of Amsterdam, Utrecht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands.

Located 60 mi/100 km south of Merida, Uxmal (pronounced OOSH-mal —"thrice built," in the Mayan language) is the largest site built in the Puuc style with long, gracious lines.
