Here’s why Conde Nast Traveler just named Boston one of the best places to go in 2026
"2026 is going to be a banner year for goings-on," wrote the publication.
The city’s rich history, delicious food, and epic events will make Boston the place to be in 2026, according to Conde Nast Traveler.
The travel publication released a list of the best places to go in North America and the Caribbean in 2026 on Tuesday and included Boston.
“Boston already wears its history proudly, but America’s 250th anniversary will shine a brighter spotlight on the historic capital,” wrote Conde Nast Traveler. “The city is experiencing a turning point, and the world is starting to see the version of Boston that its residents have always known: not a college town or a business-first destination but a vibrant and dynamic metropolis where past and future coexist.”

Two epic events taking place next year are 2026 Sail Boston, featuring historic tall ships from around the world, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, noted the publication.
Two city restaurants are dazzling diners, wrote the publication: Comfort Kitchen, a James Beard Award finalist, and Row 34, which “continually ups the ante with best-in-class seafood, in a city home to what must be the highest number of seafood snobs in the world.”
What’s more, “a new wave of artists and diverse entrepreneurs is drawing visitors to less-explored neighborhoods like Charlestown, Dorchester, and East Boston, and the forthcoming The Atlas Hotel in Allston will further shift the city’s center of gravity away from its downtown core—contributing to a renewed sense that yes, in fact, what is old can be made new again,” wrote Conde Nast Traveler.
