Destinations for 2015: Milan, Cuba, Queens and more

See Cuba before it changes. Check out the World Expo in Milan. And if you're heading to New York City to see the view from 1 World Trade Center's observatory (scheduled to open late spring), take the subway to Queens and see if you can figure out why it topped Lonely Planet's must-see destinations for 2015.

Several major anniversaries will be marked by a variety of events, including 70 years since the end of World War II, the 60th anniversary of the opening of Disneyland, the 50th anniversary of Universal Studios Hollywood and 10 years since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
