Travel enthusiasts still have plenty of time to plan an international
vacation before the year is up: below are some of Travel + Leisure
Magazine’s top places to visit in 2016.
1. Mie Prefecture, Japan. Located four hours from Tokyo via fast
train, Mie Prefecture has long been a favorite for domestic
travelers, with its natural beauty. The region includes Ise-Shima
National Park, UNESCO-protected Shinto sites, and Matsusaka
beef.

3.  2. Liege, Belgium. Overlooked in the past, travelers are now
looking at Liege as a possibility with the introduction of the
Boverie, an art museum developed in conjunction with the
Louvre. The Boverie will showcase some of the best in
Belgian art and other major names, including Renoir and
Manet. The rest of the town is rapidly developing as well in
order to accommodate visitors.
3. Chiloe Island, Chile. Previously inaccessible, Chiloe
came to the forefront for travelers with LAN Airlines began
flying directly to the area, which includes 30 beautiful
islands that, despite being colonized in the 17th century,
have remained relatively isolated from the mainland. As a
result, there is much for visitors to explore.
