The city is also the most populous state capital in the U.S., which translates to a richly diverse collection of cultures and activities. And perhaps most spectacularly, every drive or stroll through the city is accompanied by a backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, sandy mountain ranges, and eternal blue skies.

Malta punches above its weight. This small island nation, positioned between Sicily and North Africa, is home to prehistoric temples older than Stonehenge, honey-stoned medieval fortresses, and some of the Mediterranean's clearest waters. The sunshine is near-constant and temperatures stay mild even in winter, making it one of the few destinations that works just as well in January as in July. History, coastline, and reliable weather — Malta delivers all three.
