Are These Burgs The Best To Visit In 2017?


Lonely Planet recently voted these cities (in rank order) as the ten best in the world to visit in 2017.

Bordeaux, France; Cape Town, South Africa; Los Angeles USA; Merida, Mexico; Ohrid, Macedonia; Pistoia, Italy; Seoul, South Korea; Lisbon, Portugal; Moscow, Russia; and Portland OR USA.
