Travel is a great hobby that can contribute to a broader understanding of the world. There are many places around the world that are worth visiting. Some are easy to access. Others will take a bit more effort. Here are a few of the best places to visit in 2020.

Amboseli National Park
Located near the border between Kenya and Tanzania, Amboseli National Park sits at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. If you’re looking for a good place to see the Big Five African game animals, Amboseli is a great option. The park has a large number of elephants, and more common animals like gazelles and wildebeests also inhabit the terrain.

Machu Picchu
One of the greatest architectural feats of the pre-modern world is Machu Picchu, a city built on the top of a mountain by the Incas. This city remained largely unknown until the early twentieth century. Today, it’s one of the leading tourist destinations in South America. A flight into Cuzco, Peru, provides the best access to the ruins of Machu Picchu. The last leg of the trip will require a bus ride over a narrow mountain road or a hike over the challenging Inca Trail.

Aruba
The island in the Caribbean that receives the most repeat visitors is Aruba. Located just a few miles off the coast of Venezuela, this island lies outside the hurricane belt. This means a cancellation due to weather is unlikely. Aruba is technically a desert island. The sun usually shines brightly in Aruba. The island has numerous beaches, and the constant trade winds tend to moderate the temperature throughout the year.

Prague
One of the few Central European capitals that avoided major damage during World War II, Prague is truly a jewel. It’s known as the City of a Hundred Spires, and it’s true that there are many beautiful churches situated throughout Prague. A visit to the Prague Castle, which includes St. Vitus Cathedral and the Golden Lane, is a must. The Old Town Square boasts the world’s oldest astronomical clock that’s still in operation. This mechanical wonder dates to 1410, and it adorns the wall of the Old Town Hall.

These are just a few of the best places to visit in 2020. There are many more. Figuring out one or two great places to visit can help you check a couple of items off of your bucket list and provide a memorable experience that will last for a lifetime.
