There are certain travel destinations on Earth that simply must be experienced. From iconic landmarks to spots that display the splendor of nature, a trip can be life-changing.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Is there a more iconic museum in the world than the Metropolitan? Housed in the heart of New York City, the MET houses some of the most intrepid collections in the world. Ranging from works of antiquity to European classics to modern American art of the past century, there simply isn't a better place to take in the crossroads of art and culture. One standout feature of the museum is the Costume Institute, which puts on display iconic pieces from legendary designers such as Gianni Versace. The campus of the museum itself is a sight of splendor, housed in a space of over two-hundred thousand square feet and stretching nearly a quarter-mile long, it holds approximately two million pieces on display.

Yosemite National Park, California

Nestled in the Northwest portion of the United States, a four-hour drive from San Francisco stands one of the most majestic parks in the world. Gleaming mountains, mammoth redwood trees, and gleaming lakes all make this trip worthwhile. Inspiration abounds at the breathtaking Yosemite falls, home to the highest waterfall in all of North America, marked by a 1,430-foot plunge. Out in this serene wilderness may be the last place a tourist would expect to catch up on the art scene, and yet, the park is home to the Ansel Adams gallery.

The Adelphi Theatre, London.

The historical Adelphi Theatre in the West End of London offers plenty of glitz and glamor encapsulated inside this 1,500-seat showhouse.

To this day, the best and brightest actors to grace the stages of Europe still play to packed audiences night after night.

Generations of theatre lovers have flocked to fill the iconic red seats in order to catch a glimpse of the most passionate performers of their time.

The interior of the Adelphi Theatre London is simply breathtaking.
