Vacation Travel

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Navigating the intimate streets and canals of Amsterdam—home to almost 1 million people—can be an eye opening experience for visitors. Amsterdam's streets, filled with the sounds of bicyclists' bells and neighborhoods that have the same feel as New York's West Village, or London's Notting Hill: historic, polished yet hip, and packed with shops that would test the weight limits of your carry on luggage. With so much culture with the many museums exhibiting the worlds largest collection of Vincent van Goch, or if you prefer experience what it is like to become a glass of beer through a sight sound touch and smell tour of the Heineken museum, a truly unique entertaining and educational experience. Failing that, visit the Dam Square, grab a wheel of cheese, a coffee and sit and smell the tulips.

With convenient daily non-stops from Detroit, it doesn’t get any easier.

Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China

Hong Kong's enchanting neighborhoods and islands offer a sensory feast. You may find yourself swaying along on a historic double-decker tram, cheering with the hordes at the city-center horse races, or simply gazing out at the glorious harbor. Over 70% of Hong Kong is mountains and sprawling country parks, some also home to geological and historical gems. Escape the city limits on one of the world’s smoothest transport systems and spend your day wandering in a Song-dynasty village, hiking on a deserted island or kayaking among volcanic sea arches.

One of the world's top culinary capitals, the city that worships the God of Cookery has many a demon in the kitchen, whether the deliciousness in the pot is Cantonese, Sichuanese, Japanese or French. So deep is the city's love of food and so broad its culinary repertoire that whatever your gastronomic desires, Hong Kong will find a way to sate them. The answer could be a bowl of wonton noodles, freshly steamed dim sum, a warm pineapple bun wedged with butter, a pair of the sweetest prawns, your first-ever stinky tofu, or the creations of the latest celebrity chef.

From off-the-rack Chinese gowns to bespoke specialty knives (and vice versa), the sheer variety of products in Hong Kong’s shops is dizzying. Every budget, need and whim is catered for in 'can do' spirit by a similarly impressive assortment of venues – glitzy malls where the moneyed shop, chic side-street boutiques and vintage dens where fashionistas find their gems, nerdy gadget bazaars, and a mix of markets where you can haggle to your heart’s content. The city has no sales tax so prices are generally attractive to visitors.

Underneath the glass and steel of Hong Kong’s commercial persona is a dynamic cultural landscape where its Chinese roots, colonial connections and the contributions of its home-grown talent become intertwined. Here you’re just as likely to find yourself applauding at Asia’s top film festival as joining in dawn taichi or reading the couplets of a local poet to the drumbeat of a dragon boat. Culture could also mean indie music by the harbor or Chinese opera in a bamboo theater, not to mention the thousands of shows staged year-round at the city's many museums and concert halls.
