Amsterdam is truly a biker’s city, although pedaling along the labyrinthine streets can get a little chaotic. Stick to walking and you won’t be disappointed. The gentle canals make a perfect backdrop for exploring the Jordaan and Rembrandtplein square. Pop into the Red Light District if you must—if only so you can say you’ve been there. The Anne Frank House is one of the most moving experiences a traveller can have, and the Van Gogh Museum boasts a sensational collection of works.

As Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow is famed for its culture, shopping and people.

Glasgow is also the perfect base for exploring more of Scotland, with great connections to the Highlands and the islands.

Baguio, perched high in the Cordillera Central Mountains, is a great place to escape the heat of the Philippine lowlands.
