They summed up their decision with the following words: ‘Everyone seems to be discovering this affordable gem in Eastern Europe at the same time: Recently Lonely Planet named the Julian Alps one of the top 10 regions to visit. The New York Times featured the charming medieval capital city of Ljubljana in its 36-hour destinations (we also found an amazing tree house there). National Geographic awarded the capital is Legacy Award, and local chef Ana Ros was named the World’s Best Female Chef in Pellegrino’s “The World’s 50 Best Restaurant Awards.” The small nation with the big green image (it’s one of the world’s most eco-friendly destinations) offers rafting, hiking, boating, and biking in the summer; alpine skiing in the winter; and fabulous food and culture year-round.’
The complete list of ’10 Places You NEED to Go in 2018’ includes Slovenia, Portugal, Detroit, Namibia, Thailand, Maremma (Italy), Barbados, Edmonton (Alberta, Canada), London and Alaska. The article is available here!
