Top Cultural Centers

By Frank Johnson

Are you looking for something different in your travels? Are you tired of the typical tourist traps packed with overpriced hotels, restaurants, and attractions? Then it’s time to set your sights a little higher and take a more cultural approach to your travels.

If you’re ready to take a vacation filled with discovery and unique wonders, then you need to focus your travel planning on the cultural centers of the world. Every country has culture-centric attractions and landmarks that are specific to the region and people. If you want to expand your horizons and experience unique ways of life, set your sights on a travel destination that will expose you to new cultures, people, and traditions.

Below is a list of top cultural centers around the world. They offer everything from century-old religions to ancient civilizations, and can turn your trip into an eye-opening experience.

Cultural Centers of the World

Egypt

Egypt is consistently the top destination for world travel each and every year - and not surprisingly so. The country uniquely bridges the African and Asian continents across the Suez Canal by possession of the Sinai Peninsula. This key positioning has guaranteed Egypt a major role in the strategic and historic relationships between the east, west, north and south of Africa, Europe, Asia and the more direct Middle East beginning more than 5000 years ago when the first Kingdom of Egypt was unified. In addition to a most remarkable past, Egypt offers the eager traveler thriving international cities, lavish Red Sea resorts, fabled oases and literally hundreds of miles of ancient pharaonic monuments along the Nile River Valley.

Greece

Aside from major attractions like the Parthenon, Greece provides a plethora of other sites and activities unique to the nation's cultural heritage. For a spiritual experience, visit the town of Meteora in the northern Thessaly region. These spectacular cliff-top monasteries were originally reached by curiously placed ladders and ropes. Today people can reach the sky-high pinnacles by climbing the etched stone stairs or by the growing popular sport of rock climbing. You can also get close to the gods, as the Greeks put it, by visiting the archeological wonder at Delphi, considered to be the center of the known world by Ancient Greeks.

Morocco

A distinctive layer of Morocco is its great imperial Islamic cities. The central medina (old town) of each city is typically still walled in and houses the most ancient part of these treasured towns, including a minaret-tipped mosque. Open-air markets, snake-charmers, music performers and cafés are all spilling over with life every day of the week except Friday. Fez (or Fès), Morocco’s former capital, is one of the largest and oldest medieval cities in the world and a perfect place to begin your journey through Moroccan history. The medina, Fez el-Bali, is an intricate piecework of 9400 twisting alleys where you may come across some of the finest leather and hand-craftwork among the many bazaars.
