Are you fucking kidding me?

Not just Florida but Ft Lauderdale.

I feel like this lists are making stuff up or they are being paid to list cities. I was reading the NY Times places to go in 2016 list the other day. It seemed like some pretty solid places at first, then Grand Rapids, Michigan at #20. Wtf, you can go anywhere in the world and Grand Rapids, MI makes the top 20. Its not even the most interesting city in that part of Michigan.

>LGBT travelers looking for an alternative to Miami and other heavily trafficked domestic destinations should consider Fort Lauderdale.

Totally bizarre list. I love Mexico City, and I've heard good things about Munich, Fez, and Dublin. But Taipei isn't even in my top five favorite Chinese cities, the Faroes seem pretty but are far too small and remote for my taste (I like cities more than the countryside), and Arizona and Florida... why?

but i agree that scottsdale and ft lauderdale are some straight up bullshit destinations.

Definitely an acquired taste. If you don't like cities, you REALLY won't like Mexico City--it's an absurdly big city, with intense doses of all the stuff people who don't like cities don't like (crowds, traffic, smog, etc.). But it's much more diverse, much more slick in many spots, and less dangerous and disgusting overall, than its reputation, and I was really pleasantly surprised (I was sort of scared, to be totally frank, and didn't expect to like it).

I'd be curious to see the Faroes--seems really beautiful, and culturally pretty interesting, but I'd be bored (and probably broke) in a few days. If you could get there in a couple of hours on a train from a city with a population over 150,000, I'd totally check it out. I'm just kind of indoorsy.

>But the nice thing about traveling is that nobody has to like what you like.

>Thoughts?
Part of the survey definition, for those wondering why these places, is that these places are best visited in that time of year, for weather reasons alone.

>Mexico City
Mexico is a big bowl of a high mountainous valley (high elevation city in the continent irc), and filled with too many people, cars and its pollution. Only when it rains, does the air clean up a bit, as well as the fact people get out of the city on weekends and visit their awesome vacation homes, family ranches, and in the places tourists like to go, like Guadalajara, Puebla, San Miguel Allende, etc. They escape the air too. It's also great place to visit if you look hispanic, like museums and want to dine like a king. 4star chefs for $100 for 12 courses.
>Dublin
Weather is getting nice, and a catholic country has a nice time in the lenten to easter time period. It's still only worth 2-3 days tops, but since it's spring, you can drive the roads more easily now
>Faroe Islands
Inhospitable winter. Busy in summer. It's a shoulder season recommendation
>Fort Lauderdale
Snowbirds are leaving, and its still prime festival season, but it's not as hot as summer. Another shoulder season recommendation.
>Cuba
This isn't an american recommendation really, because they still need to book package tours that add the cultural exchange, and they're months out to book and get approved. So right now, it's a $10k trip that should be $2k. It's not the right time for Americans to go at all.

It doesn't even have crazy rock formations all over the place, right? Went to a wedding in Sedona and could see how that place works as a tourist attraction--natural setting alone was really striking. But my friend who worked in PHX and lived in Scottsdale said it was just a boring suburb. But I'm guessing good deals on golf resorts are a motivator for some.
