bowled over by the Art Deco cool of Miami, soak<br />
up the swagger of New Orleans, or check out<br />
some of those under-the-radar spots (San José,<br />
Austin and Detroit, to name just a few), we've got<br />
the skinny on America's 20 greatest cities to add<br />
to your wish list (p24).<br />
Keeping cool cities in the spotlight, we follow<br />
the Thatcher family to Geneva to discover how a<br />
fortnight in the watch-making capital sees them<br />
slowing down the pace in order to appreciate its<br />
inner workings (p36). Plus, we dig deeper into<br />
the sights and sounds of Singapore to offer you a<br />
snapshot of how best to spend a long weekend in<br />
the Lion City (p60).<br />
If you want to stay closer to home, look no<br />

doorstep, which are springing to life for a jampacked<br />
winter of sun, sea and sand. Turn to page<br />

that'll get you firmly in the holiday spirit.<br />
Happy travels,<br />
