20 Best Trips in the World

Saturday, 22 Nov, 2013 0

New Orleans, Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and Canada’s Nahanni National Park on Thursday were named among the 20 Best Trips in the world by National Geographic Traveler magazine.

Like the rest of the list of must-see places, the three North American destinations "reflect what’s authentic, culturally rich, sustainable and superlative in the world of travel today," says the magazine, which will feature them in the December issue.

New Orleans was named for its "humid mix of confederate jasmine and fried shrimp," the French Quarter, Galatoire’s, Bourbon Street, music, and the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, "forever un-air-conditioned, its open windows framing America’s most beautiful boulevard."

  • Alentejo, Portugal
