What's a good 'out of the way' city or country to visit or is on your bucket list as a rare gem to go to? Bonus points if you've actually gone there.
Example, I've always wanted to visit the Russian city of Yekaterinburg to go to the point where Europe meets Asia. Not sure if I can get there now though :(

OP here...you're right about that, but I grew up in central Pa and hiked a good 200 miles of the Trail. Much more to see yet too.

Jaisalmer. Castle town in the middle of the desert. Went to India mainly because I wanted to see this place, and it was beyond what I imagined. Everything is carved from yellow stone and it's far more intricately designed then even the best European buildings. If it weren't in India and all that comes with it, I'm pretty confident it'd be a destination up there with Venice.

Except it's not the seat of a trading empire that was once fabulously wealthy...it's merely a random dusty town with a fort, marooned on a vast plain of hideous desolation (thanks to centuries of overgrazing). BTW India has hundreds of spectacular forts, many of them in amazing natural settings. This is only one of them.

I was there several years ago during covid, although I didn't visit the "Europe meets Asia" stele (it's outside the city and probably not worth visiting). If you really want, you can see a similar one in Uralsk (Kazakhstan).
