International – New York City:“Lonely Planet”: Dresden is one of the best destinations in 2023
Directly from the dpa news channel
New York (dpa) – Dresden is one of next year’s hottest tourist destinations according to the world-famous travel guide ‘Lonely Planet’. In the online “Best in Travel 2023” list released on Wednesday, the state capital of Saxony is next to metropolises such as Lima in Peru, Accra in Ghana, Montevideo in Uruguay and entire states such as Guyana and Albania. “The Altmarkt should be reopened with greater accessibility and according to climate protection criteria,” says Dresden appreciatively. “On one side of the Elbe the carefully reconstructed old town, on the other the modern center with craft beer, international cuisine and great street art.”
It is the eighteenth time that the Lonely Planet brand, founded in 1973, has recommended travel destinations for the coming year. This time, however, there is no longer a best-in-travel book, nor does it rank in the top ten cities, towns or regions. Instead, there are 30 goals in 5 categories such as “Eat” and “Relax”. Dresden is listed under ‘Learn New Things’, together with, for example, Marseille in France and Manchester in England. Last time, in “Lonely Planet Best in Travel 2022”, which was still published as a book, Freiburg im Breisgau was ranked third among cities in the world.
