10 best cities to visit in 2016

Lonely Planet has released its annual rankings of the best cities to visit in 2016.

Featured in this year’s list was Western Australia’s Fremantle, lauded as a city that is reinventing itself from economic doldrums to the, “bustling, artsy, counter-cultural capital you see today.”

Taking out Kotor, a city in Montenegro, that represents an undiscovered gem on the continent. Lonely Planet says, “Within the city walls, locals sip strong coffee at pavement cafes and queue for warm bread at the bakers amid a dreamy maze of alleys and plazas; beyond them, the mountain-encircled, fjord-like bay of the same name is one of the most photogenic spots in all of Europe.”

The Lonely Planet list is often a great source of inspiration for travellers, mixing rejuvenated classics with emerging destinations that have flown under the radar.

1. Kotor, Montenegro

2. Quito, Ecuador

4. George Town, Malaysia
