Anthony’s Take: This list is interesting and there are a few places I would add including Hong Kong, Iceland, Sicily, and Singapore. Of the 30 listed above, I have been fortunate enough to visit 20. Most of the remaining locations are on my list for the future.

Great list. Been to all of them. So many more deserve to be on list.

Paris is a tough one. It probably should be number one, but number one also makes it feel overrated.
Maui is my least favorite island in Hawaii, but different strokes for different folks.
Phuket and Japan (Kyoto, specifically) would be top choices probably, if going for uniqueness. Peru feels like it should have been in the Top 30 somewhere.
