52 Places to Go in 2014

          
Each year the New York Times publishes a feature highlighting 52 places to visit in the new year. Here are the selections for 2014.

We aim for a selection of places that we expect to be particularly compelling in the coming year; reasons might include a museum opening, a new transportation option or a historical anniversary. So even though cities like Paris, London and Tokyo are always exciting, they didn’t make the cut this year (though all three have appeared on previous lists).

Why not add some of these destinations to your To Do or Someday lists? Check out the original article on the New York Times website for the full details and notes on the destinations.
