Reader’s Choice Awards list unusual Top 25 Cities in the World
If a client asked where to go on vacation, you probably would not suggest San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Yet the sophisticated readers of Condé Nast Traveler voted the sleepy Mexican town The World’s Best City this week in the Reader’s Choice Awards, citing its "great atmosphere, excellent restaurants, culture and ambiance galore."
"The lack of street lights and billboards makes the region romantically and historically beautiful," the magazine says, "and the city itself offers a traditional feeling of a small town in the heart of Mexico."
San Miguel was just one of the surprising and out-of-the-ordinary destinations that travelers loved – a bucket list of cities travel agents might want to visit and recommend.
