Should you find Copenhagen, Denmark, in your travel plans, one must-see sight is Tivoli Gardens, the world's most popular seasonal amusement park. The park has rides, cultural performances, concerts and Evening Illuminations, a light show on Tivoli Lake. There's also an incredible variety of food in the park: everything from traditional open-faced Danish sandwiches to sushi, burgers and freshly picked and brewed tea.
However, you may want to save your appetite for the exceptional cuisine at the best restaurants in Copenhagen and, in fact, the world: Restaurant Noma. For the third year in a row, Noma was named the world's top restaurant in an annual survey sponsored by San Pellegrino and published by Restaurant magazine. At Noma, each day's menu includes Nordic tastes such as Limfjords oysters with air onion; roasted turbot with bitter greens; or rhubarb with milk curd.
If your travels take you to Spain, you could visit two of the top three restaurants in the world. After admiring the Sagrada Familia and other architectural treasures of Barcelona, take a ride about 65 miles northeast to the city of Girona. This city has its own architectural wonders and the restaurant rated second best in the world: El Celler de Can Roca, where three brothers produce playful dishes like pigeon with strawberries and roses. If you're in the north of Spain to visit a beach resort on the Bay of Biscay, make a reservation at the world's third-best restaurant: Magaritz in San Sebastian. The dishes here are designed to evoke emotional responses in patrons, with a focus on fresh fish and other regional specialities.
If you visit the sprawling city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, to enjoy the carnival season, the annual International Film Festival or the Festival of Electronic Art, you'll also want to experience D.O.M. Moving up from seventh to fourth on the Best Restaurant list this year, D.O.M. celebrates produce from Brazil - particularly the Amazonian region - incorporating elements such as palm hearts, manioc root and tucupi juice into its dishes.
The ancient city of Modean, Italy, is a center for the Italian auto industry, and visitors are attracted to the antiquities and the sleek, modern Maseratis and Lamborghinis manufactured there. There's also Osteria Francescana, fifth on the best restaurant list, where chefs deconstruct regional dishes and experiment with ingredients like pork sausage, balsamic vinegar, beans and pasta.
