The year 2017 is wrapping up and 2018 is in sight, 2017 had its challenges and now they're about to go down. If you plan to go for a vacation in the year 2018, these 9 places have been carefully examined by experts and have been proven the top places that deserves a visit in the year 2018.
The list goes thus;
The list goes thus;
1/10 Chile
The South American
country topped the prestigious Lonely Planet best in travel list
for 2018 meaning interest is already at a peak.
Famed for being home to both dessert, the Patagonian fjords, the Andes and vibrant, cultural cities, the country also marks 200 years of independence next year.

2/10 Porto,
Portugal
If
2017 belonged to Lisbon, 2018 belongs to Portugal's second largest city, Porto,
according to researchers.
Emily
Cater, travel editor at research company WGSN, told Bazaar
UK: "Portugal's second-biggest metropolis fuses old and new,
with its beautiful, colourful abandoned buildings, baroque churches as well as
newer constructions springing up around the city. Undoubtedly, the food is a
key draw here, with plentiful fresh fish, cheese and port of course, however
the shopping measures up too."
3/10 Japan
Navigating
Japan is being touted as one of the most likely adventures for travellers next
year, especially among millennials. According to Topdeck travel, who provide
travel holidays for 18 - 39 year olds, there are a number of reasons why the
Asian country is in the spotlight.
"Japan
is now more accessible than ever for UK tourists," Saul Burrows, global
head of product at Topdeck, told Bazaar UK. "With airlines such as
KLM/Air France launching direct flights from Western Europe in the last few
years and Japan Airlines recently announcing flight increases from London to
Tokyo, Brits can easily get to the Land of the Rising Sun in just over 11
hours.
"Visitors
are now also taking advantage of the pound's strength against the Yen, meaning
UK holiday makers can get more for their money than they did a year ago."
4/10 New Orleans, USA
Move over New York City
and Los Angeles, as the state of Louisiana's largest city - and birthplace of
jazz - is set to be a top US destination for 2018.
"Exciting new cajun
and creole restaurants are popping up regularly, while its cocktail culture is
unparalleled – with hotspots including Peche, Seaworthy and Bacchanal,"
Cater says.
"Meanwhile, new
fashion labels are opening up shop here, and hotels like The Ace and Catahoula
have opened up too – a sure sign it's going to be a hot city for 2018."
5/10 Singapore
Singapore has previously
trailed behind its neighbouring cities of Hong Kong and Tokyo but, in 2018, it
will get the love it deserves. Cater says thanks to its cultural diversity,
shopping scene, surprisingly green environment and Instagram-potential - we've
all seen that infinity pool at
Marina Bay Sands, right? - Singapore is a hot spot not to be missed.
6/10 Bulgaria
According to holiday
company Thomas Cook, the black sea resorts in Bulgaria have witnessed a 25%
growth this summer compared to last year. And this year, they don't expect the
eastern European country's popularity to slow down. The non-Euro country offers
good value for money and, while in the past it has been seen as a party resort,
the company say there has been a recent shift towards families and couples
choosing it for their holiday destination.
7/10 Mexico City, Mexico
"Mexico City is
becoming an increasingly hot destination for travellers, thanks to its vibrant
arts and music scene and strong sense of local culture," Cater says. For a
broader travel experience, you're also never too far away to visit the
countless beautiful beach resorts that the country has to offer either.
8/10 Hamburg, Germany
While Berlin enjoyed a
huge renaissance as the German city break a few years ago,
Cater calls Hamburg "Berlin's newer, cooler little sister". Hamburg
offers riverfront bars, restaurants, shopping and incredible architecture. Take
the Elbphilharmonie concert hall which
was completed this year and includes a plaza where visitors can look out at
panoramic views of the city.
9/10 Seoul, South
Korea
