The Galapagos Islands are set against the backdrops of spectacular landscapes that range from volcanic peaks to ancient lava fields and lagoons to coral reef-lined bays. The remote volcanic islands, which are part of Ecuador, are located over 500 miles west of the mainland in the Pacific Ocean. Thanks to a lack of natural predators, wildlife in the Galapagos has no fear of humans, making the islands one of the world’s greatest wonders and an incredibly magical destination to visit. A cruise is the best way for visitors to experience the island’s stunning biodiversity.

Fifty years ago, there were over 500 hotels in the Catskills a haven where those plagued by the unpleasant side effects of urban living could breathe in the fresh mountain air. Massive resorts grew (the region lays claim to having the first indoor swimming, dubbed a “natatorium”) attracting New York, Boston and Philadelphia’s Jewish and Italian populations, but then air conditioning was invented, airplanes went commercial, and assimilation among immigrant cultures became commonplace the result? No one felt the need for a Dirty Dancing-esque escape any more.

This small but dynamic country has ended up on our must visit list more than once this past decade, but it's becoming a classic for far more reasons than one. If Tel Aviv is the extroverted and eccentric younger brother, Jerusalem is an enigmatic and surprising city that has a contemporary side usually unknown to travelers, explains Tova Wald of Boutique Travel & Events. With almost more cultural festivals and museums per capita than any city in the world, and a homegrown dining scene that has taken the rest of the world by storm thanks to Chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Assaf Granit, this old city is much more than meets the eye.

Year after year Japan always seems to find a way to surprise and delight us it’s like the Meryl Streep of destinations, constantly out-performing the competition, and even one-upping itself. We feel repeatedly compelled to honor the Land of the Rising Sun because every new development be it a luxury hotel, restaurant, or even a bullet train link is always executed with the greatest of care. And 2020 is no different, especially with the impending Summer Olympics being held in Tokyo.

Remember the Listerine-green swimming pool at the 2016 Rio Olympics? It became the physical manifestation of the corporate and political dysfunction that’s plagued Brazil for decades. But four years later, and out from under the international spotlight, South America’s largest nation has had a chance to quietly find its footing; each step forward (like the dissolution of the American visa mandate) a mea culpa for the series of calamities surrounding the Summer Games. And with the recent softening of the local currency, all seems to be forgiven.

Beware Chicago: Houston is coming for you. Texas’s largest metropolis is poised to usurp the mid western burg’s number-three position in the next national census. And with a population increasing at a significantly faster rate than cities #1 and #2 (New York and Los Angeles), who knows where Houston will rank by the end of the 2020s.

Somewhere south of Morocco’s sand dunes lies the motherland of Caribbean culture, a country where brilliant bolts of fabric hug its citizens, and the thump and scratch of live music underscores a symphony of bustling markets, crashing waves fit for surfing, and the howl of gray desert winds. With a newish international airport, Dakar is posed to be your layover hub as passengers transit between continents and a weekend is all you need to uncover a capital that’s poised to take on its rival cities abroad.

For years, Melbournians have touted their hometown as Australia’s fun, most livable city, with cool bars and a dining culture that’s elevated both coffee and veggie-forward eating (hello, avo-toast). Sydney, though bigger, was the show pony a beautiful burg fit for the click of the camera and not much more. But everything’s about to change: the beginning of 2020 marks the end of the state’s stringent lockout laws legislation aimed at curbing violence due to late-night alcohol consumption in Sydney’s Central Business District, which will inevitably breathe new life into the flagging bar culture.

Often viewed as staid and pleasant and not a whole lot more Austria has crept its way into the zeitgeist in the most unusual way; rather than relying on robust marketing campaigns and concerted rebranding, the country’s most unsuspecting mountain hamlet, Hallstatt, became Instagram idyll travel porn’s ultimate pin up. Think gingerbread houses and a craggy backdrop covered in a light dusting of powdered sugar.

On the second day of the year, Fairmont is taking over the legendary El San Juan Hotel on the stunning Isla Verda beach an auspicious start to 2020 with grand plans of reminding east coast Americans that the island territory is the perfect long weekend gateway to escape the cold. Renovations following the devastating Hurricane Maria in 2017 have continued apace, with the last wave of re-openings scheduled throughout this coming year. Beyond boisterous San Juan, get excited for the new Four Seasons Cayo Largo in the island’s northeast, and over on the smaller isle of Vieques Zafira St. Clair, a high-end timeshare for travelers aiming to be repeat weekenders. And let’s not forget, Puerto Rico’s statehood which would radically change the island’s rollercoaster economy is one of the hotly debated issues in the 2020 national elections.

Cajun and Creole cuisine, jazz music, and the architecture of the French Quarter set this city apart. Combined with an assortment of luxury resorts and hotels, New Orleans makes a perfect destination for a long weekend getaway.

The Cuban vibe along Calle Ocho in Little Havana, the Art Deco District in Miami Beach that calls to mind the 1930s era, the endless parade of sports cars cruising along Ocean Drive in the evenings, and the summertime beach scene of South Beach, are just some of the unique aspects that make Miami one of the best cities in the US.

Washington, D.C. is the US capitol and home to some of the most famous sites and national treasures in America, from the White House and the Capitol Building to the Smithsonian museums. This city should be on everyone's itinerary of the East Coast. In the spring, the Cherry Blossom Festival is a beautiful time to visit, when the trees are in full bloom. Summer can be hot. You may want to hit one of the beaches near Washington for a bit of a cool off. Fall is also a good time, when the hot summer temperatures have cooled off enough to make walking around outside very comfortable and the rush of the busy summer season has passed. In winter, the crowds are definitely smaller, and the city is stunning after a fresh snowfall.
