Where you can be happy out
Aye, many a traveler has fancied sipping a pint of Guinness in an Irish pub. That goes double for Dublin, Ireland’s capital city where the thick dense stout is brewed.

Dubrovnik
Where Game of Thrones comes to life
You won’t find the country of Westeros on a map, or King’s Landing. But fans of wildly popular television series Game of Thrones know King’s Landing as the capital of the Seven Kingdoms realm, where the show’s most memorable scenes were filmed.

Martin stories can tour the real-life streets of King’s Landing in the form of Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Vietnam
Sailing a junk to a magical land
AutoVenture’s trip to Halong Bay is just a 3.5-hour drive from Hanoi, but it may as well be a time machine. Sailing a junk across Vietnam’s Halong Bay, the view from your vessel is unlike anything you’ve seen before. It’s a page out of a storybook, with the bay’s limestone pillars poking through the reflecting blue water like the spines of a sea dragon’s back; and the site of the other junks traversing the bay harkens back to another century.
