Stopovers are one of the biggest things in travel these days. What exactly is a stopover, then?
Well, airlines now offer tickets that allow you to make a connection in certain cities on the way to your final destination. Instead of spending only a couple of hours in that city’s airport, however, you can spend a few days in the city with no extra cost and check out some of Earth’s most interesting cities.
Here are my three top picks for stopover cities throughout the globe.
Lisbon, Portugal
TAP Portugal offers stopovers in Lisbon on the way to a variety of European destinations. This beautiful Portuguese capital city is cheap and full of interesting things to do. What’s best is that the weather is almost always good.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Flying with Emirates or Etihad and heading to Asia? There’s a good chance that you can make a stopover in Dubai, one of the world’s most unique and futuristic cities, on the way to your final destination.
Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo is another fantastic place to make a stopover. Japan’s capital is a foodie paradise that is full of Buddhist monuments and a fantastic mix of the futuristic and the traditional. It’s a great option for trips to Southeast Asia.
