This is part of our global guide to the best places to go in 2024. Find more travel inspiration here.
At the end of each year, we look at what’s next in the travel industry and select the top destinations we recommend to fellow travelers around the world over the next 12 months. Our expert contributors name destinations that are currently on the rise due to a flurry of hotel openings, perhaps due to whispers of Michelin’s arrival, a shiny new museum, or a collective conservation effort taking root. These nominations make up the Best Places to Go in 2024, highlighting destinations that are about to see their day in the sun.
This year, we’re not only looking at the world’s destinations in our 2024 bucket list, but also the hot spots on each continent right now. This list is a compilation of countries, regions, cities and neighborhoods in Europe that are worth your time and attention next year.
From a first-ever sporting event in Italy, to the natural wonders of Scandinavia, to France’s curious surf scene, all 12 destinations are where we’re spotlighting right now. A happy journey.
