Which city is the best travel destination?
We have rated 20 cities for vacationing by examining what each has to offer.
Our criteria
• We looked at the average price of gas in each city and the average airfare for each airport.

• Finally, it was important to make sure each city had as much to offer as possible. Fellow travelers rated each city based on art and culture, shopping, food and nightlife.
