Fodor’s, the world’s largest English language travel publication, has released its annual “Go List” of the top 25 places to visit in 2015, featuring locations from the Arctic to Australia, and this year the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains made the list.
This is no small accomplishment — the national competition alone is extensive, plus the list covers six continents and highlights destinations for every type of trip, such as natural wonders in Iceland to exquisite colonial cities in Vietnam.
But the region’s natural beauty and rich culture led Fodor’s to call the Hudson Valley “impossible to ignore.” It singled out our area’s wine production, geography, historic significance, and a growing dining and farmers’ market scene as particularly excellent.
