Don’t get me wrong, I love living in Canberra. I just can’t figure out how it can possible be considered a “tourist hotspot”. Maybe for a day or weekend trip, but after that you’ll run out of things to see and do.
It looks to me that this article is just a completely random list of cities around the world.
