I have been to 7 of the 10.

Of course this ranking leaves out all of the other non urban places to visit which can be more enjoyable than a city stay.

In Toronto the media is already sounding off about why Toronto has been left off - oh my!

I never liked the magazine. I thought it lacked depth.

So, Victoria and Montreal made it, but not Toronto eh?

I don't find such lists particularly useful. The periodical feature that really was a boost to our tourist industry, on the other hand, was the Gourmet magazine Montréal special issue.
