The Best City To Visit Travel Tournament is simple: you nominate a city you love as the best to visit in 2018 and it could win you $250. The Best City To Visit Travel Tournament in an annual contest on this site where 64 cities are matched up and eliminated by weekly reader votes. The person who nominated the final remaining city will win $250 at a number of online stores, including Apple and Amazon.

The cities will then be placed in tournament brackets sorted by geographical region, with the first round of voting beginning on Tuesday, March 6th, 2018. Each week the number of cities will be halved by reader votes, until there is one left. Hopefully the winning city is the one you picked.

In previous years, the winners have all generally used these tactics to their success. The first two rounds are the easiest to win and lose, so don’t neglect voting in those shorter rounds. There are quite a few dates to keep up with – the best way not to miss anything is to get my posts sent directly to your inbox.
