We’re two weeks into the new year and what I think many would consider the biggest “Places To Go” lists finally came out yesterday!

I’m talking about the New York Times 52 Places To Go In 2015 list.

For those of you that know me, you’ve probably noticed that I really like lists. Top this, top that, they are definitely fun to read.

Some lists I’ve written about:

• Top Events In Each State for 2015
• Fodor’s Places To Go List 2015
• 2015 Best Places To Visit In the U.S.
• Best Place To Travel In 2015
• Where Should You Go In 2015? Take the Quiz
• Lonely Planet’s Top 10 Countries 2015

When the new year rolls in, lists short and long pop-up, giving us suggestions of the hot places to go in the new year. While I love looking at these suggestions, I can’t say that they have any influence where we actually go.

In fact, a good portion of our 2015 travels were already booked (the flights at least) before 2014 even passed.

I was debating whether or not I should list all 52 places from the NY Times list here… Tough call since that’s a pretty long list!

I decided that I would list all of the places and bold the places that I’ve already visited along with links to my posts (if I wrote about the location). I’ll also be writing a few comments about some of the places that I’ve wanted to go or plan to go to in 2015.

(There are many others from the list that we’ve considered going to in the past. Just because I didn’t add any comment doesn’t mean that I don’t want to go there!)

Here is the 2015 New York Times 52 Places To Go In 2015:

1. Milan, Italy: Visited in 2014 and can’t say that we were big fans although in the city’s defense we didn’t have a ton of time there. Posts: Our Visit To Malta (and Milan) In A Nutshell.

The Times picked some great places and quite a few that I’ve considered (and still plan to visit eventually) over the years.

Does the Times list inspire you to get up and go? For me it just makes me want to travel more!
