3. Vancouver, Canada Surrounded by the ocean and sitting in the shadow of majestic mountains, Vancouver is a shiny, modern North American metropolis infused with a lighthearted candour.

4. Auckland, New Zealand Auckland may not be New Zealand's capital but it is the country's largest city. From the pulsating waterfront, up through the busy Downtown district and into the vastly distinct suburbs and the glorious beaches, there isn?t an inch of the city that isn't thriving with energy.

7. Sydney, Australia Sydney is the soul of the Australian surf, sand and sun. At the heart of the city is the harbour, one of the most beautiful waterways in the world; the curves of the Sydney Opera House shimmer in the sunlight and dozens of white sails float beneath the Harbour Bridge.

8. Helsinki, Finland Nowhere else in the world will you find a place where the trees outnumber the human inhabitants, except in Helsinki. Finland also has the largest family of islands compared to any other country in the world.

9. Tokyo, Japan Within the confines of superbly innovative and avant garde contemporary buildings, the Japanese have remained true to their heritage, preserving many aspects of tradition and culture. With its neon lights and unquenchable thirst for trends, Tokyo screams consumerism.

10. Copenhagen, Denmark Boasting stunning modern architecture, world-class restaurants and progressive designs, Copenhagen has much to offer. Despite being the largest city in Scandinavia, the quaint city somehow still manages to maintain a warm provincial, small-town atmosphere.
