Top City Destinations

Dear Tana, 

How do you rank the best cities? The answer is, you can't. As the 
saying goes, there's no accounting for taste. Every traveler is 
looking for a slightly different balance of price, location, and range 
of activities when choosing a vacation. Still, some places have just 
about universal appeal. Can the majority of our members be wrong? The 
following destinations are among those visited most often by 
Travelocity.com users--the kinds of places that have something for 
everyone, and see visitors return again and again, year after year.

Las Vegas
Las Vegas is dominated by the Strip, where the attraction, of course, 
is gambling. But what grabs the eye first is the incredible sight of 
the neon Strip itself. You'll find properties made to look like 
miniature versions of New York, Paris, Venice, and ancient Egypt. You 
can also see a stunning array of nighttime shows, ranging from 
favorites Siegfried and Roy (and their white tigers!) to Cirque du 
Soleil. And at last, Las Vegas has begun to cater to its youngest 
visitors, with sites such as Wet 'n Wild, Adventuredome, and the 
Scandia Family Fun Center providing good clean fun for the kids.

London
Swinging London has been attracting visitors since the Normans stopped 
in a thousand years ago. Today the city, with its curious combination 
of the medieval and the modern, still brings in visitors from all 
corners of the world and all walks of life. Buckingham Palace and 
Westminster Cathedral are there for those looking for a touch of 
history. But there are more modern pleasures to be found in London 
these days as well, from popular music to high fashion--and even fine 
dining. Read More.

New York
New York really does seem like a new city these days. Visitors who've 
been away for a few years will instantly notice that the place is 
spiffier, the neighborhoods more tidy, and even the cab drivers are 
more friendly. There's never been a better time to visit the most 
storied of American cities. Fall brings a host of eclectic festivals 
that show off the city's eccentric and diverse character: Labor Day 
weekend is the occasion for both the drag-fest known as Wigstock and 
the more sober but equally proud West Indian-American Day Carnival. 
Halloween is feted in grand style in Greenwich Village, and 
Thanksgiving ushers in the mother of all street parades, the Macy's 
Thanksgiving Day Parade. Read More.

Orlando
Orlando would be a destination worth visiting in its own right without 
Mickey. By all means, visit Disney World--or any of the six other 
major parks in the area--when you visit. But be sure to read up on 
Orlando's many other lesser-known attractions before you plan your 
next trip to central Florida.

***DESTINATION GUIDES***

Chicago
Chicago has shaken off the grit to become a livable metropolis with 
world-class attractions. The city is also a major center for blues and 
jazz. The Museum of Contemporary Art impresses modern-art lovers from 
all over. The city's Sears Tower may not be the world's tallest any 
more, but it still provides stunning views of the park-studded city. 
And considering that Frank Lloyd Wright was based here, impressive 
architecture is not hard to find anywhere in Chicago. Attractions such 
as the zoo and the Chicago Children's Museum will keep kids busy, and 
you really could shop till you dropped on the city's Magnificent 
Mile--there's truly something for everyone in Chicago. Read more.

Paris
Visitors returning to Paris will notice that many of the city's 
museums and grand hotels have been renovated, as if hoping to put on a 
good face for the turn of the century. Don't worry; the city hasn't 
lost any of its character. It's still more jam-packed with museums, 
churches, diverse neighborhoods, and, bien s-r, dining, 
than just about any other city on the planet. Read More.

Washington, D.C.
As our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. is exactly the treasure 
trove of civic sites you would expect it to be. The Capitol, the 
White House, presidential memorials--all these are open for public 
tours. The truly remarkable thing about Washington, D.C. is that many 
of its most popular attractions are absolutely free. None of the 14 
museums that make up the Smithsonian, for example, charge a penny for 
admission--not even the National Air & Space Museum, which is the 
world's most popular museum.

No need to leave the States to have a magical big-city experience. The 
sights of New York are enough to keep you entertained. Maybe a jaunt 
down to the Big Easy would better suit your taste--New Orleans is rich 
in history and slow in pace. Top off your adventure with a stop in San 
Francisco--the cable cars and bowls of chowder are sure crowd 
pleasers. Whatever your fancy, check out what others have to say on
