San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, was named the best city for travelers in the 26th annual poll. While popular favorites Spain and Italy had their typical good showing – the former placed three locations in the top 25, and the latter two of the top seven – the real winner in country terms may have been Austria, as Salzburg and Vienna landed fourth and seventh, respectively, overall.
