The publication's annual list of 25 destinations, released Tuesday, provides the perfect starting point for travel inspiration and caters to a variety of interests, from foodies to adventure seekers and families. The list is based on the insights and expertise of National Geographic's travel experts and editors and includes emerging and enduring destinations.

“I like to think of BEST OF THE WORLD as National Geographic’s annual invitation to get out and explore for yourself the incredible diversity of places and experiences around the world,” said National Geographic Editor-in-Chief Nathan Lump in a statement.

“This year, in a time of uncertainty and difficult challenges, that seems more important than ever. I hope our 2025 list is a reminder that there is still so much to discover and that through travel we can connect with joy and hope.”
