INTRODUCTION
The Ultimate Journey

Suppose you could tick off every place on your bucket list in a single epic journey. Where would you go? We asked some of the worlds greatest globetrotters, our authors, to come up with the ultimate journey. It starts in New York City. So many nationalities call the Big Apple home that its a trip around the globe in its own right. In the city that never sleeps, climb up the Empire State Building. Bookend a meander through Central Park with visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History. Bike across the Brooklyn Bridge, ride the Cyclone at Coney Island, and cheer on the Bronx Bombers at Yankee Stadium.

Farther west, in California, the city by the bay sparkles even when shrouded in its celebrated summer fog. From the iconic bridges and painted lady Victorian mansions to the ding-a-ling cable cars and infamous Alcatraz, there isnt a more photogenic city on the entire planet. Half a century after the Summer of Love, San Francisco still exudes a counterculture vibe and a sense of creativity and adventure. Check out endearing clichs like Fishermans Wharf, Chinatown, and Haight-Ashbury, as well as offbeat neighborhoods like Hayes Valley, Russian Hill, Dogpatch, and the multiethnic Mission District.

Continue your journey by heading south to the Peruvian city of Cuscoa name that means navel of the world. Perched high in the Andes, Cusco was both the nexus of the Inca Empire and a Spanish colonial burg. Its eclectic culture blends Hispanic and Amerindian influences, while its architecture varies from imposing Inca monuments like Saqsaywaman citadel and ceremonial complex to lavish baroque churches. Cusco is also the jumping-off spot for the lost city of Machu Picchu, hiking the Inca Trail and other Andes routes, and flights to the Peruvian Amazon and wildlife rich Man National Park.
