It is also encompassed by the coral reef as well as a wonderful turquoise lagoon which makes this little island incredibly fascinating. Bora Bora makes a dream trip because it's situated within a remarkable lagoon which entices many travelers far and wide.

DREAM TRIP 6: ITALIAN RIVIERA

The Italian Riviera is one of the most exquisite places to take a dream trip in Europe. The Italian Riviera stretches from the Ligurian sea on the Italian/French border to the border of Tuscany. Along this short but stunning coastline, pretty villages line the coastal strip that make the Italian Riviera one of the most attractive places to visit in the world.

The Riviera is a slice of heaven and a favorite for local Italians to venture to with good reason. Our favorite village on this wonderful stretch of coastline is a small but robust fishing town that goes by the name of Portofino. It is one of the most charming and gorgeous villages in Italy and is well renowned. Even though modest in size - it packs a punch in style, beauty and is effortlessly chic. Attracting a wealth of celebrities, yachts and dapper travelers - Portofino earns its right to being the most popular and sought after dream travel destination within the Italian Riviera.
