The Best Destinations to Visit
Poland
We could list new openings in Poland, such as Hotel Verte in Warsaw, which will throw open its golden doors in August. But this is not the only reason you should visit Poland. Sharing a 300-plus-mile border with its neighboring countries, where there are forests, lakes and mountains, means now it’s your chance to take a vacation there.
Western Australia
On April 20, a total solar eclipse(日食) will be visible over the northwestern edge of Australia. For an event that will likely last about one minute, the town of Exmouth has been planning for over a year. There will be outdoor viewing platforms where observers can safely watch the solar miracle.
Liverpool, England
Best known around the world as the birthplace of The Beatles, Liverpool is adding another chapter to its musical legacy. In May, it will be the host city of Eurovision Song Contest, which is expected to bring thousands of flag-waving fans from across the continent. In June, the city will celebrate the Liverpool Biennial contemporary visual arts festival, as more than 30 international artists and collectives takeover spaces in the city until September.
Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston shows its past like no other US city, but it often glosses over (掩饰) the history of its Black residents. It has been taking steps to fix that. Enter the International African American Museum, which promises to make an opening announcement soon after pushing back its January date. The museum is on the shoreline of the Cooper River in the spot where many Africans first set foot in North America.
