Tallinn, Estonia
Estonia's capital may be one of the smallest and least-known capitals in Europe, but Tallinn has a lot to offer.
Despite being occupied by the Soviet Union in the last century, Tallinn, and frankly Estonia as a whole, feels more like the West, especially neighboring Finland, than it does Russia. Of course, some of this was intentional, as some people abandoned Eastern Europe in favor of Nordic and Baltic cultural identities after communism.
Tallinn's rich history is on full display in the picturesque UNESCO-listed Old Town, surrounded by 14th-century medieval walls.In the center of the old town is the Town Hall (Tarinna Raekoda)dating back to the 13th century when the city was part of the Hanseatic League.
In addition to its fairytale charm, it is also a modern city with a strong economy rooted in the technology sector. The Estonian government has not only embraced the digital economy, but has truly led the way in the adoption of digital technologies in the delivery of services and programs.
Hotel Telegraaf is part of Marriott's Autograph Collection brand of independent boutique hotels.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Compared to Chicago and fellow Rust Belt cities Detroit and Cleveland, Milwaukee is somewhat under the radar.
That should change in July, when Wisconsin's largest city (population 577,222 as of the last census) hosts the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Milwaukee is a truly American city that has much more to offer than beer culture.
Downtown is home to a variety of architecture, from structures built using the city's signature cream-colored brick to the Museum of Fine Arts, a postmodern interpretation of a Gothic cathedral designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. there is.
Like Tallinn, Milwaukee City Hall is a landmark. The late 19th century building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Flemish Renaissance Revival design by architect Henry Koch is noteworthy, but its defining feature is the magnificent bell tower with a clock reminiscent of London's Big Ben.
Stayed at St. Kate's. Located in the theater district, next to the Town Hall, this art-focused boutique hotel takes its name from St. Catherine of Bologna. Catherine is the patron saint of art in her Catholic church in Rome.
Daytona Beach, Florida
It's possible to visit Daytona Beach and not watch a car race or set foot on the world-famous beach.
As discussed in this column in 2022, the beach itself runs along 37 miles of coastline in Volusia County, Florida, passing through three different cities and one town.
Downtown Daytona Beach has undergone extensive redevelopment in recent years and has quickly become a destination for residents and visitors alike, thanks to its 22 acres of riverfront boardwalk.
A true gem in Daytona Beach is the Museum of Arts and Sciences, which includes the freestanding Cici Museum of Art and the Hyatt Brown Museum of Art. Unlike other museums, the collection is entirely Florida art. The works range from Augustine's early depictions of St. His from centuries ago to Impressionist landscapes. After all, you wouldn't expect anything like this from a small city in central Florida.
If you also want to enjoy the beach, check out the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort.
