The town of Craco was abandoned in 1980, but you can still visit its decaying streets and buildingsHis new home could not have felt more distant from the prosperous, metropolitan north.

The World’s 10 Most Beautiful Cities to Visit in Your Lifetime
How does one narrow down a list of the most beautiful cities? Each city in every corner of the world holds its own particular beauty. What sets some cityscapes apart from the rest are their special combinations of the wildness of nature and structure of civilization.

On a rainy summer day, I took a train to the Swiss city of Saint-Maurice and trekked through the squelching mud to a medieval fortress perched high atop a cliff. After descending into a dark cavern and twisting through its dimly lit corridors, I finally arrived at the main viewpoint of the Grotte aux Fées (Cave of the Fairies): a plunging 77m waterfall that shoots from an underground limestone ledge into a translucent pool. As the splatter echoed through the cavern and drenched my jacket, I closed my eyes and took out my phone to record the rush of dreamy reality before me.

The slowest train journey in India
I have traveled on this very train, although my journey was far more comfortable and less precarious.
