Welcome note From the striking architecture, to the distinctive cultural buzz, and the throngs of locals going about their daily lives, city breaks are our go-to for a dash of excitment – and nowhere does urban thrills like the USA. Whether you want to be Managing Director Victoria Thatcher Chief Creative Officer John Thatcher General Manager David Wade Managing Editor Faye Bartle faye@hotmedia.me Content Writers Habiba Azab habiba@hotmedia.me Sophia Dyer Editorial Assistant Ronak Sagar Art Director Kerri Bennett Senior Designer Hiral Kapadia Senior Advertising Manager Mia Cachero mia@hotmedia.me Production Manager Muthu Kumar bowled over by the Art Deco cool of Miami, soak up the swagger of New Orleans, or check out some of those under-the-radar spots (San José, Austin and Detroit, to name just a few), we've got the skinny on America's 20 greatest cities to add to your wish list (p24). Keeping cool cities in the spotlight, we follow the Thatcher family to Geneva to discover how a fortnight in the watch-making capital sees them slowing down the pace in order to appreciate its inner workings (p36). Plus, we dig deeper into the sights and sounds of Singapore to offer you a snapshot of how best to spend a long weekend in the Lion City (p60). If you want to stay closer to home, look no further than the fun-filled destinations on your doorstep, which are springing to life for a jampacked winter of sun, sea and sand. Turn to page 66 for this month's top staycation suggestions that'll get you firmly in the holiday spirit. Happy travels, Faye Bartle Win!
