Best Travel 2013 – Lonely Planet
What’s hot in travel for 2013?
Lonely Planet’s team of travel experts, authors, commissioning editors and selected members of our travel community have been banging heads hard to find the answer.After months of ferocious, even feverish debate – and way, way too much coffee and cake – we’ve settled on our top 10 countries, top 10 cities and top 10 regions for the coming year.
How did we choose them? Perhaps it’s because they’re undeniably up and coming. Maybe there is something special in store for them in 2013. Or perhaps we just…love them to bits and want to shout it from the rooftops.

Where it all began…
