Your twenties are the time to find yourself, try new things, and see the world. When else will you be able to take six weeks off to backpack around Europe?
Of course, hitting 30 (or beyond!) doesn't mean you still can't get out there and explore, but there's nothing like getting that travel experience in those formative adult years.
We've got 30 places you HAVE to travel to before you hit the big 3-0 — that's right, it's time to plan your next vacation!
Agra, India
Get to Agra to see the Taj Mahal palace, made of gorgeous white marble.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is gorgeous, not to mention friendly to bike riding... among other things.
Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town is a beautiful mix of European and African culture, architecture, food, and more.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen is a great port city. It's also the home of The Little Mermaid!
Giza, Egypt
The pyramids at Giza are some of the most unique structures in the world. Check out the Sphinx while you're there, too!
Las Vegas, Nevada
Even if you don't gamble, Las Vegas is a fun place to dance, catch a show, or get a meal.
London, England
Take all of London in from the Eye, a giant Ferris wheel that overlooks the city.

Machu Picchu, Peru
You can thank the Incas for this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Melbourne, Australia
The arts and culture city of Australia, Melbourne has great food, theater, and museums.

Hit up the Eiffel tower, the Arc du Triomphe, the Notre Dame, and all the museums — including La Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature, one of the strangest places in the City of Lights.
Portland, Oregon
"Portlandia" makes me want to ride my bike through the Pearl District and eat at a food truck.
Rome, Italy
The city is beautiful, the people are friendly, and, you know, there's gelato. And pasta.
