Youre in the final phase of revision before exams and the glorious release from academia. Soon it will be time for graduates to celebrate the successful completion of their degrees. In that spirit, online travel adviser Travel Ticker (www.travel-ticker.com) offers its top 10 graduate destinations. Reuters has not endorsed this list:

1. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam is not only home to some of the best historic and artistic attractions, but its also one of the most fun and young European cities. This makes it a great destination for recent grads to experience a fantastic mix of culture and nightlife. Some notable attractions include the beautiful canals and Anne Frank House. Also, with welcoming locals and bicycle-friendly streets, its easy to seamlessly fit into Amsterdam.

2. Havana, Cuba

Explore Havanas thrilling nightlife, lively culture and Cubas sunny beaches. With a tropical climate all year, travelers can expect great temperatures to follow them as they wander through the colorful streets, explore the beautiful colonial architecture and cathedrals, and enjoy exciting Cuban music all in sandals and shorts. But nothing says celebration like visiting one of Cubas famous cigar factories or treating yourself to dinner and a cabaret show at the original Tropicana Club.

3. Dublin, Ireland

Lets be honest, the first thing many recent grads are hoping to do is to mark the occasion with a party, and nobody knows how to celebrate like the Irish. Dublin, one of Europes most youthful cities, is not only known for its abundance of pubs, but also for its locals who are famous for making any day a day to party. So with its beautiful green scenery, Dublin is a great city to raise a glass to your new degree.

4. Ibiza, Spain

As one of the party capitals of the world and Spains most stunning island retreat, Ibiza is known for its exotic nightclubs and warm, turquoise waters. This makes it a great getaway destination for grads looking for a young, hip crowd and lots of beach time.

The summer months also attract some of the best DJs from all over the world.

Mixing it up

Electronic dance music is, no doubt, an international phenomenon. Last years Electric Zoo festival at Randalls Island Park, for example, brought in 85,000 attendees including visitors from all 50 states and more than 100 countries.

But its the jet-setting DJs themselves hitting a different city night after night, bouncing from club to club and festival to festival who globe-trot like no others. Electric Zoo, back for its fourth year on Labor Day Weekend (August 31-Sept. 2), put us in touch with some of the biggest names on its 2012 lineup to talk about a life where the beats and plane rides never end.

Whats been your favorite spot to travel for work?

Id have to say Miami, of course. Thats why Ive named my new compilation Club Life: Volume Two Miami after the city. It has my favorite club to play in LIV as well as incredible restaurants, amazing architecture and so much glamour.

Whats been your favorite spot to travel for leisure?

Ibiza is a pretty special place for me to go. Ive been going there every summer since the 90s, and the island is a perfect place for relaxation and of course a lot of fun. More than any place I go to, it embodies the spirit of Club Life. I cant wait to get out there for the start of the season at the end of May when I start my new residency at Pacha.

Where are you most excited about going in the future?
