This is part of the World’s Best Awards and is put together following a collection of experiences, opinions and surveys from the websites’ readers – which average around 6 million a month. T+L editors used the results to produce a top list of cities, cruise lines, food, hotels, tour operators, and much more. Readers rated cities for several characteristics including history, culture, architecture, friendliness, shopping, restaurants, modernity, antiquity, and everything in between.
