3. Canberra, Australia
There's a lot happening in Canberra this year. For the first time ever, the capital city will host a Test cricket match between Australia and Sri Lanka at the Manuka Oval. Canberra's Australian War Memorial will also host the 100-year anniversary of the World War I armistice.
Outside of those events, the city is full of national landmarks, as well as plenty of memorable cultural and gastronomic experiences.
