This is why our top-rated holiday destinations list is so important. We have taken great care to select places that suit all travel preferences, following the lead of museum curators, surfers, and food-truck sellers. The list includes destinations that range in geography and character, from North-east Australia to some of the most beautiful places in Europe. While evergreen destinations like Thailand and Edinburgh will be singing louder than ever before, others such as New Orleans and Jersey will shine a spotlight on their untold stories. While big global events like the Beijing Winter Olympics or the Birmingham Commonwealth Games will be a major draw, there are many other stories that can be shared, including those of family-run farms that pack a serious foodie punch and festivals dedicated to the healing powers of the Earth.
No matter how you imagine your travel landscape, this list will satisfy all of your needs. There are many places to explore on the planet and many ways to do it. But this is our carefully selected selection of spots that will be thriving in 2022.
