Places to Go in 2014

By Dario Meli

Some of my pics from a list that originally appeared in the NY Times.

  • New Caledonia

    What you’d expect (natural beauty) and not (world-class museum).

  • Vienna

    Feel like reminiscing? A city is awash in anniversaries.

  • Nozawa Onsen, Japan

    Skiing, soba and snow monkeys.

  • Arctic Circle

    Chasing the northern lights? This might be the year.

  • Athens

    Out of an economic crisis, a city surges back.

  • Uruguayan Riviera

    South American beach towns, before they go upscale.

  • Yogyakarta, Indonesia

    A volcano, a temple, a shrine and now a place to stay.

  • Fernando de Noronha, Brazil

    A world-class World Cup getaway.

  • Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

    An ambitious art scene heads toward the international stage.

  • Namibia

    Africa’s latest conservation success story is a boon for travelers.

  • Albanian Coast

    On a rugged shore, Europe at its best.

  • North Coast, California

    A glorious new preserve for the public.

  • Christchurch, New Zealand

    The rebirth of a quake-ravaged city.

  • Cape Town, South Africa

    A place to meditate on freedom, and the creative life that followed.
