No worries if you haven’t planned a trip yet for next year. The experts at Travel & Leisure are sharing their list of Where To Go 2025. To come up with their list of 50 noteworthy destinations, the travel writers considered not only what’s new but also what feels like right now.
The magazine’s associate editorial director shared, “These are places that feel of the moment, whether that’s because they offer unparalleled access to the outdoors, a cultural immersion you can’t find anywhere else, a pulse-quickening hit of excitement, or the sort of blissful luxury only a true five-star property can deliver.”
The Where To Go list was broken down into seven travel categories: cultural immersion, nature lovers, big city thrills, moments on the water, food and drinks, beach vibes, and adventurous travelers.
