Lonely Planet wrote of the decision to include Dundee: “With the opening of the newest branch of the V&A this September, Dundee is a city with an eye on the future.

“Remarkable ideas deserve a remarkable home and this space-age museum is the first step in a £1 billion, 30-year regeneration project that builds on Dundee’s Unesco City of Design award in 2014. The redevelopment will transform the historic waterfront, providing a social ‘living room’ at the edge of the silvery River Tay, while further fuelling a creative scene that increasingly attracts some of the UK’s most visionary talent.”

Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, found in the north of Italy and inclusive of places like Bologna and part of the Adriatic Coast took the top spot for must-visit European destination this year. Lonely Planet cited the Italian region as a foodie paradise with ragu, parma ham and balsamic vinegar originating there as well as it being home to Osteria dvd censored Francescana, considered to be the second-best restaurant in the world.
