Erbil Citadel
Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraq
Best for: History, Architecture, Local Vibes, Authentic, Markets, Off The Beaten Path
One of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements on Earth, rising on a mound above Erbil's bazaar. Kurdistan's relative calm and hospitality make it Iraq's most accessible corner.
Walk the citadel's restored quarter and the adjoining Qaysari Bazaar for textiles and spices. Sami Abdulrahman Park and the nearby Shanidar Cave (of Neanderthal fame) make good half-day trips.
