June 26, 2017: Last week we had a chance to see Lonely Planet’s top countries to Travel in 2017 — Now here’s the TC’s Top Cities to Visit:
- BORDEAUX, FRANCE (new high speed rail connections with Europe — wine and food lovers paradise abounds)
- LOS ANGELES (more than a beach town — 50 new hotels, mingle with movie celebs, sashimi and kale)
- PISTOIA, ITALY (a little Florence without the crowds — small town personality)
- MERIDA, MEXICO (culture, beaches and live music — one of the safest places in Mexico)
- OHRID, MACEDONIA (sits on a beautiful blue water lake — small resort setting — see it before it’s discovered)
- LISBON, PORTUGAL (Europe’s forgotten city — full of sights, museums and good food — weak Euro makes a visit a real bargain)
- PORTLAND, OREGON ( city of gardens and outdoor fun — and some good spots around the city to see the eclipse in August)
