Vera’s Picks
One person’s opinion about where to stay, eat and go — in twenty-five cities worth the trip.

What this is
Not another list of the ten best things to do. A short, opinionated brief on each city — what is worth the money, what is not, and which two hotels I would actually book. First cities shortly.
The list
One city a month, with everything I’d actually book. No round-ups, no sponsored placements.
Opening shortly — the letter isn’t taking names yet.

About
Vera’s Picks is a small, independent travel publication. Every recommendation here is one person’s judgement — not a ranking, not an algorithm, and not a list of whoever paid.
Some links to hotels earn a commission if you book through them. That never determines what appears, and the pieces say plainly when something isn’t worth your money.
Vera is a pen name. The opinions are a real person’s.
