Hide AdA spokesperson from Time Out said: “In addition, it was also taken into consideration for the ranking whether there are also lots of new things to get excited about in the coming year in the chosen places such as new hotels, restaurants, museums or events to put on people’s calendars for 2023.”
Birmingham is second on the list while Cardigan in Wales is third.
Time Out’s UK editor Huw Oliver said: “Rather than the usual hotspots we want to highlight places, many of which are ludicrously underrated, which people don’t automatically think to go to. In all of the places on the list you will find interesting things to see and do, eat and drink during the day and night, a friendly welcome and a community spirit which enables you to connect with locals and really get to know a place. We recommend that you definitely put one or more of these destinations on your travel list for next year.”
