Food can make or break a vacation, but if you really want to hedge your bets, try finding a spectacular place to chow down. After all, having a glass of wine while sitting in the shadow of the Parthenon is something you’ll never forget. That’s why you NEED to visit these places ASAP. We’ve already got your travel agent on hold…
1. Hotel Edelweiss, Switzerland: From this amazing sun deck you’ll get perfect snapshots of the Alps.
