Want to know how important preservation efforts are to Buffalo’s tourism economy? Architectural Digest (AD) has pointed to this city as one of the 23 Places to Travel in 2023. Yes, that’s right. As Buffalo’s preservation movement continues to falter, with the destruction of the Great Northern, the at-risk 110 and 118 South Park Avenue (demolition by neglect), the crumbling nature of numerous historic churches on the city’s East Side (and St. Mary’s on the Hill on the West Side), the loss of a handful of buildings along the Genesee Gateway, among numerous other unsavory instances, this city is still considered a highly regarded destination for architectural travel. Can you imagine if the City actually believed the hype?
So where should architecture and design aficionados travel in 2023? Every year, we seek out the places that offer compelling reasons to visit, from exciting new museums and cultural attractions to burgeoning trends in the design world. This year, for the first time, the destinations on this list have been curated by AD’s global editors from around the world. From ever popular cities offering new reasons to visit to under-the-radar islands and remote rural regions, our list brings together the places that design obsessives will want to be in 2023.
