A geological wonder bounded by the French Alps to the north and the Mediterranea Sea to the south, the Côte d'Azur—often known in English as the French Riviera—stretches from the Italian border to urban Toulon. Beaches, quaint fishing ports, and opulent architecture line the coast. The mention anywhere in the world of Nice, Cannes, Monte Carlo, St. Tropez, Antibes, or Juan les Pins evokes glamour and a sense of nostalgia. Coastal towns are strung along a chain of dramatic hills peppered with vineyards and olive groves. The pristine mountains, too, have ancient villages and wandering roads to explore.

&ldquo;There is no normal life in Venice. Here everything and everyone floats,&rdquo; wrote Peggy Guggenheim, the art-collecting American heiress who made the city her home. There&rsquo;s only one way to see it and, whether you choose to so by gondola, water taxi, or crowded vaporetto, cruising past the city&rsquo;s labyrinth of canals, 15th-century palazzos, and churches with their crooked bell towers is an unforgettable experience. Back on terra firma, enjoy the symphony of competing caf&eacute; orchestras in magnificent Saint Mark&rsquo;s Square&mdash;yours for an overpriced cup of coffee. <br /><br /><strong>Travel Tip:</strong> Transfers to Marco Polo Airport, located 7.5 miles from Venice by road and 6 miles by water, are available by taxi, bus, and water bus.

After a dinner in the French Quarter, head to Frenchmen Street to take in your choice of local acts. Actually, you don't have to choose&mdash;you can wander from one nightclub to the next, and settle in where you feel most comfortable. Among the best: <a href=https://www.afar.com/travel-inspiration/where-to-go-next/Spotted Cat,</a> which is always hopping with local trad jazz and the occasional Cajun band. Finish off your stay with a detour to&nbsp;the <a href=https://www.afar.com/travel-inspiration/where-to-go-next/"https://www.afar.com/places/louisiana-music-factory-new-orleans">Louisiana Music Factory</a>, where you can pick up CDs of your favorite discoveries from your rambling through the city's clubs.
