New York : Condé Nast Traveler announced that its readers have voted San Francisco the number one city to visit in the United States. More than 25,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers participated in the 2009 Readers’ Choice Survey. The complete award results will appear in the November 2009 issue (on newsstands Oct. 20) and on the magazine’s Web site.
This year marks the 17th consecutive time that San Francisco has won this category in the magazine’s annual survey, a first-time accomplishment for any destination or property. San Francisco was followed by Charleston, SC (#2) and Santa Fe, NM (#3).
San Francisco, with a total of 84.8, scored higher than Bangkok (82.2), Hong Kong (81.3), Florence (84.6), Buenos Aires (81.9) and Vancouver (82.3). The only city that scored higher than San Francisco was Sydney, Australia, with 86.9. One of the factors contributing to San Francisco’s ranking was its worldwide high restaurant score.
