For anyone looking to unwind and relax after a long week in Tel Aviv, what better way to unwind than at one of the city’s amazing beaches.

Covering 14 kilometers of beautiful coastline, many of the beaches of Tel Aviv are open all year round, although it is worth bearing in mind that the city’s lifeguards only work during the official season, which runs from April to October.

"From Alma Beach northwards to Jaffa Beach, the bathing crowd becomes hipper and more mixed and it is not unusual to see Muslim women swimming in hijabs," said the Economist.

"However, there are no lifeguards on this stretch of sand and the sea off Alma Beach can be particularly dangerous."

Younger people, as well as those with families, will love the beaches of Aviv and Sheraton and they’re more than worthy of a call home after a day in the sun.

Among the other beaches worth checking out are Hilton, Gordon and Hatzuk.

For anyone in or around Tokyo looking to recapture a glimmer of Japan’s past, a trip to Yanaka is an essential component of anyone’s trip.

Located within easy reach of either the Nippori or Nezu train stations, Yanaka is a beautiful district, with buildings dating back as far as Japan’s Edo period.

And if this isn’t enough to warrant a call home, the fact that the area survived both the bombings of World War II and a massive earthquake in 1923 is surely reason enough.

"A passionate band of local vigilantes has taken issue with the construction industry in an attempt to preserve Edo architecture," said the Economist.

"Just wandering though the streets and lanes here is enough to create sympathy for their cause."

And for those looking to capture a glimpse of sakura (cherry blossom) during the springtime, one of the most beautiful areas to do so is inside the Yanaka Cemetery, the resting place of the infamous Tokugawa family.

An essential destination for anyone visiting Moscow, the Tretyakov Gallery is within walking distance from the Tretyakovskaya underground metro station.

Located along Lavrushinsky Pereulok, Tretyakov Gallery is a beautiful building - established by Pavel Tretyakov, an art collector and industrialist from the 19th century - that is home to a fantastic selection of artifacts, ranging from icons to sculptures.

"A must for first-time visitors to Moscow, this fine collection of Russian art contains icons, mosaics, paintings and sculpture dating from medieval times to the 19th century," said the Economist.

"Rent an audio guide or pick up a guide book before investigating the two floors of exhibits."

Among the highlights of the collection is a painting by Andrei Rublev, entitled Old Testament Trinity, in addition to other works by Repin and Argunov.

Mr Tretyakov lived between 1832 and 1898.

For fans of history and culture, no matter how long the stay in Shanghai, a trip to one of the city’s most interesting museums is an absolute must.

Located along Renmin Dadao, the Shanghai Museum offers a fantastic opportunity to explore a total of seven floors, with each one dedicated to putting on display some of the most amazing exhibits from China’s rich history.

"Don’t expect to see everything in a day: one floor alone can take a couple of hours to explore," said the Economist.

"The exhibits are sensibly arranged by type … allowing you to follow the evolution, for example, of bronze sculpture through the Chinese dynasties."

Housing around 12,000 artifacts, each and every one really is worth calling home about.

The museum is also home to a number of different special exhibitions, including one entitled Men and Gods in the Rome of the Caesars.

For fans of literary greats, for anyone staying in Atlanta, a visit to the New American Shakespeare Tavern should feature prominently on anyone’s agenda.

Easily located along the city’s Peachtree Street, New American Shakespeare Tavern is a perfect place to enjoy a fantastic Shakespearian play, complete with dinner and good company.

Specializing in the British writer’s more tragic tales, an evening at the New American Shakespeare Tavern is more than worthy of a call home.

In addition to the most famous of tragedies, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare penned a number of other tragic tales, including Anthony and Cleopatra and Macbeth.

"For a city that spends little on the arts, Atlanta has a surprisingly varied nightlife and a particularly strong theatre scene," said the Economist.

"Most of the action is within the city limits, though there are stirrings in the suburbs."

And it is even possible to enjoy some British food, served with a refreshing glass of cool beer.
