Filtering out the most beautiful cities in the world is not easy. So many beautiful destinations are waiting to be discovered by you, so many wonderful places on earth that are worth a trip. We've tried to bring you closer to our favorites - here are our picks for the best must-see cities in the world.
1. New York City
Hardly any other city enchants as many people as New York City. Adored in numerous films, interesting sights and colorful hustle and bustle - the city that never sleeps is a beautiful, exciting destination at any time of the year. The only drawback: “A few days” is almost not enough, you should plan at least a week. Unfortunately, the city of cities isn't just around the corner - but NYC certainly shouldn't be missing from your itinerary as part of a tour. However, you can save a bit on flights in New York, which is otherwise not that cheap: thanks to the O podo student discount, you can get to the other end of the world at reasonable prices.
2. Prague
If you want to spend a nice weekend in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, you have to go to Prague. The city enchants with its breathtaking architecture, easy accessibility and affordable prices, which allow you to visit it on a normal weekend. Good connections by bus, train or plane make the Golden City a popular travel destination at any time of the year.
3. Berlin
Of course, a holiday in your own country is even closer - the capital Berlin with its lively streets, incomparable culture and touch of internationality is always a good idea. Cheap train and bus tickets, delicious food, historical sights, casual clubs and lots of culture offer you relaxation and fascination in Germany. Tip: Maybe you know someone who lives in Berlin - an old school friend who is studying here, for example?

Barcelona offers you more than just paellas and cerveza - the romantic Parque Güell, the Sagrada family or the famous, colorful Hundertwasser House, the beautiful harbor with numerous restaurants and cute bars and of course the famous Ramblas, Barcelona's shopping streets, invite you to a tempting short vacation heart of Spain.
6. Hong Kong
Also a bit further away, but actually indispensable, is the Asian megacity Hong Kong. Loud, crowded, breathtaking, stunning, but meticulously clean and full of delicious food stalls and restaurants, bubble tea and friendly people, Hong Kong simply enchants and makes the city one of my absolute favorites ever. Be sure to go to the botanical gardens and climb Victoria Peak on foot - the view is breathtaking. At night, a trip to the Skybar is an absolute must to enjoy a wonderful view over Kowloon or Hong Kong Island.
The Asian city is also recommended as part of a longer trip - how about a backpacking trip through Asia during the semester break?
7. Vienna
A dream for every architect - the Austrian capital leaves every visitor silent in awe, so beautiful is the sight of the ornate university, museums and other sights that attract millions of visitors to the town every year. Walk through the Naschmarkt with a typical Austrian Kaiserschmarrn or a proper Wiener Schnitzel or enjoy an Aperol Spritz in front of the castle in the evening - Vienna makes it possible.
8. Munich
Munich is also practically on your doorstep and ideal for a short weekend city trip. The proximity to the mountains, beautiful, green nature and a lot of beautiful lakes with an almost Caribbean flair, the beautiful city with its sights and nice promenades as well as numerous beer gardens invite you to explore Munich as part of a city trip and spend a few beautiful days in in the Bavarian capital.
9. London
Just a short flight with Opodo at student prices away is London in the UK - one of the most popular destinations of all. British flair, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, typical British delicacies and a bit of James Bond feeling transport you to what seems like a completely different world in a matter of seconds - even though the distance is really not that great.
10. Rome
The Italian capital literally screams for a short trip - La dolve vita, tons of gelato and pizza, the Colosseum, Vatican City and Trevi Fountain, but above all the Mediterranean flair and the feeling of having really arrived on vacation make Rome one of the best most beautiful travel destinations for those who only have a few days but still want to enjoy a piece of summer vacation. Whether by bus, train or plane – Rome is easy and cheap to reach and always exciting.
