Hobart , Tasmania While Sydney and Melbourne attract the most attention from travelers , Hobart deserves some of that spotlight too . This gem of a city on the wild and gorgeous island of Tasmania is packed with charm , from the interesting exhibits at the Museum of Old and New Art ( MONA ) to the art on display on the Battery Point Sculpture Trail . Two must-do ’ s : summit 4,170-foot Mount Wellington for an amazing view and shop at the wildly popular Salamanca Market held every Saturday .

Fajardo , Puerto Rico Located on the eastern tip of the island , Fajardo is the ideal home base to explore this tropical slice of paradise . From here , you can go waterfall hunting across El Yunque National Forest , snorkel in the clear waters over the long strips of reef of the Cordillera Nature Reserve and daytrip to nearby islands like Culebra and Vieques . The star attraction here is boating on Laguna Grande Bioluminescent Bay , one of only five “ bio bays ” in the world ( three are in Puerto Rico !).
