Some Asian cities have taken a large hit, namely Tokyo, which fell from a seven ranking to a 15 and lost 31 points, the largest drop in the top 20. Some cities, like Boston, Dublin, Toronto and Guernsey, have even capitalized on the losses of others, rising in the rankings despite losing points.

LISBON, Portugal — If London and Paris are the Grand Dames of Europe, then Lisbon, Portugal is the unruly, prettier stepsister who deserves all of the attention.

If you live in (insert city name — really, any one will do), it’s time for you to GET OUT. No doomsday warnings here, [...]

ARTESIA, Calif. — We landed in beautiful Long Beach at 11:45 a.m., and despite disaster with the rental car and a slightly questionable hotel room, we’ve made it! First things first.
