1. Salzburg, Austria This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Salzburg Music Festival - and it's a good reason to visit an Austrian city, even if you're not a fan of opera and classical symphonies. In addition, there will be theatrical performances, readings and other events.
2. Washington, USA Washington is also celebrating the centenary - not of the festival, but of the 19th Amendment, a law that gave women the right to vote. The main museums - the National Portrait Gallery, the National Museum of American History and the National Museum of Women's Art - have announced special exhibitions. In addition, Washington has a revitalized coastal area, new museums and a thriving gastronomic scene.
3. Cairo, Egypt Tutankhamun's treasures have been on world tour since 2018 - and in 2020 they can be seen at the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo. It is the largest museum in the world dedicated to one civilization. The classic program also includes the Red Sea, Luxor and the pyramids.
4. Galway, Ireland The most bohemian city in Ireland. In 2020, it will be the European Capital of Culture, which means that the city's calendar of events is as full as the local bars with live music on Friday evenings. Street performances, digital art, theatrical performances - sleep somewhere else.
5. Bonn, Germany Bonn was once the capital of West Germany, but disappeared from the radar after the unification of the country. In 2020, the city celebrates the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth. Concerts with world stars as soloists and conductors will go on all year round.
6. La Paz, Bolivia A feature of the city - the cable car as a full-fledged urban transport - in 2020 there will be 11 lines. This is a clear sign that the city is developing - not counting the increased flow of tourists and opening culinary schools.
7. Kochi, India The city in the south of India, in the state of Kerala, is developing environmental sustainability: the world's first airport operating only on solar energy has opened here. Here is colonial architecture, bohemian cafes and progressive galleries. And in 2020 the city will host the Kochi-Muziris Biennale.
8. Vancouver, Canada The city is located between the majestic Pacific Ocean and no less majestic mountains. Greenpeace has appeared here, so the city simply has to be eco-friendly. At the very least, there is a lot of greenery and convenient routes for cycling and hiking, including along the coast.
9. Dubai, UAE Dubai is a city where the future has already come. In 2020, there will be several confirmations of this, for example, the World's Fair, where 190 countries will show off their achievements in technology, mobility (maybe flying machines will already show?) And sustainability. The opening of the Museum of the Future is also expected. Well, futuristic architecture has long been available for inspection.
