For the 2024 edition, we added three new categories: shopping, retirement, and college towns. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_2-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_3-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> That means this year, we've selected winners across 10 small town categories to let you in on our travel secrets.
