The definitive list of must-see locales includes a wide-range of choices, from flourishing hubs like Bilbao, Spain, to far-flung regions in Thailand, Australia, Scotland, and more. Emerging destinations like the coastal port town of Malindi, Kenya made the cut, along with ever-popular sites like Tokyo, Japan, and Guadalajara, Mexico.
Three domestic cities cracked the top 20 list, including Cape Canaveral, Fla., which is where NASA plans to launch its long-awaited Mars Exploration Program next year. Another emerging city that won't require a passport—the eco-conscious culinary hub of Eugene, Ore., which is committed to going carbon neutral in 2020.
Milwaukee, Wis. clinched the top spot thanks to its role as the host city of next year's Democratic National Convention. Its prime location on the shores of Lake Michigan is yet another reason why Milwaukee is experiencing such an upsurge among domestic and international travelers.
