City
Cities are the ultimate venue for immersion into the heart of a country. Thrumming with energy, movement, people, and life, a city is a laboratory for exploring the elements that combine to form the cultural milieu for local citizens. Here, you can ask questions about government and the people it affects. You can view the most significant infrastructure of the nation. You can witness the ways in which politics, religion, social values, economic forces, and artistic energy interact in the urban crucible. For many travelers, visiting cities is a foundational step in understanding the landscape and culture of the country as a whole. Such urban immersion can provoke revelatory insights into the relationships between individuals, culture, and community.
