October 25, 2016 | Readers of the luxury magazine Conde Nast Traveler voted both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem among the 40 “best cities in the world,” in the magazine’s 2016 survey of destinations outside the U.S. published last week. Tel Aviv, which the magazine called “one of the world’s most vibrant, diverse cities” ranked 17th on the list thanks to its exciting nightlife, great beaches, amazing museums , and the world’s largest concentration of buildings in the International Style — more than 4,000 of them comprise Tel Aviv’s White City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Jerusalem was ranked 28th on the list and was praised for its “cutting-edge art scene” and growing restaurant scene. ” Last year, Jerusalem was picked by Condé Nast Traveler readers as the 11th best city in the world, but Tel Aviv did not make the list. The world’s top city, according to the readers, was Tokyo.
