Already dreaming of next year’s vacation? This list will help you to book your 2025 getaway whether it be a weekend rendezvous or a summer getaway.
Lonely Planet recently released its list of the top 30 must-see travel destinations for 2025.

“Wherever you are in the world, we’re confident Best in Travel brings fresh inspiration for the year ahead.”
The list was divided into the top ten cities, countries and regions to give avid travelers a range of travel destinations.
Toulouse, France
The city in the south of France was named the top city to visit next year thanks to its fast-expanding art scene — it is a UNESCO City of Music — and winding riverways.
Often referred to as “Paris in miniature” the cute city is considered “a perfect weekend break destination, a real labyrinth of a city with art galleries, upcycled industrial venues (and) cafes,” Chambers told CNN.

The West African nation was chosen for its stunning beaches, not-so-crowded national parks, and lively nightlife taking off in major cities.

Two other US areas made the list although not typical internationally recognized American hotspots: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge region in Oregon.
The ‘Burgh was mentioned for their mixing its “industrial past with its artisanal present” while the Pacific Northwest section is beloved for its incredible natural beauty.
