Compiled by editors from seven cities across three continents, this list is incredibly competitive to get on and well-respected by travelers. It is extremely exciting to see Scottsdale on this list! 

Editor Rebecca Misner had lots of great things to say about Scottsdale. She described it as her favorite place to visit when she "can't take another minute of winter." As suited to snowbirds as it is to spring breakers, Scottsdale is a desert wonderland that has something for everyone. Misner praises the gorgeous views, Southwestern culture, and consistent sunshine. She suggests checking out the Desert Botanical Garden in nearby Phoenix and grabbing some Sonoran-style Mexican food.
