International Hotspots: Take a Break from the Red, White and Blue

JANUARY 20, 2009

All eyes are on Washington, D.C., but it's a great time to think about the bigger picture.

Americans may be more welcome abroad than ever, and economic realities have eased hotel and travel rates in some of the world's most exciting destinations.

Berlin
This German city has been an arts and culture magnet since the Berlin Wall fell 20 years ago, and to mark the event's 20th anniversary, the city is throwing a year-long party throughout 2009.

South Africa
Starting with Cape Town's Atlantic waterfront, the region is gaining popularity with travelers seeking the best in luxury with a scaled-back price tag.

Beirut
The capital city of Lebanon emerged again as a true cosmopolitan city. Restaurants, cafes and a lively lifestyle have led to its being called the "Paris of the Middle East."

Dubai
This oil-rich hotspot among the seven Arab Emirates has attracted a reputation as a real estate and shopping oasis, and stories of superlative opulence have circled the globe as well.
