Pack your bags, grab your camera, and let’s swoop into the travel wishlist for 2025. Here’s where you should go and make every moment count!
London
Calling culture lovers, foodies, history lovers, thrill-seekers, shopping enthusiasts… London is waiting. We had to put it in our top ten list. Why? Because London is one of those destinations that continues to provide, and 2025 is no exception.
Alongside its regular attractions, this place will be home to many exciting events in 2025 that you could time your trip around.
Iceland
It’s Iceland, where the night sky is writhing with the glow of the Northern Lights. Not only this, you can explore an old lava field at one o’clock in the morning thanks to the Midnight Sun.
Oh, Iceland. How can one not adore you? We cannot suggest it enough, especially since it was voted one of the safest countries in Europe to travel to. One minute you’re climbing the slopes of active vents, and the next you’re floating in the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa with mineral-rich mud on your face and a drink in your hand.
Nice
Say bonjour to Nice, where romance lives on the Riviera and postcard-perfect views kick on in your camera roll. Perched along the Baie des Anges and nestled somewhere in between old-world elegance and modern-day flair, you’ll find Nice neatly wrapped in a package of year-round sunshine.
When is the Euro on the bucket list? Top your schedule and expect nothing less than fireworks, live music, and markets that’ll have you rethinking your baggage limit (unless you go oversized for all your anticipated shopping). Nice is a destination that truly lives up to its name.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong is no one-trick pony—everything from a historic temple visit to a traditional boat cruise, a trip to Disneyland, a photo with the Big Buddha, and more deserves a spot on your list. If you plan to visit the Pearl of the Orient, book your trip to overlap with the many exciting events featuring in Hong Kong in 2025, including the Hong Kong Food Festival, China Opera, and the world’s biggest Rugby Sevens festival, the Hong Kong Sevens—a three-day event that welcomes 120,000 fans each year.
Another great reason is that here the celebrations are in full swing. It has an attractive CBD where shops, delicious eateries, and inner-city experiences await around every corner. Be sure to leave a little room in the suitcase for gifts to take back home.
Hanoi, Vietnam
Get ready to fall in love with Vietnam’s buzzing capital. Kick off your day with a classic egg coffee in the narrow passages of Train Street Here locomotives roll past within arm’s reach of local cafes. Roam the messy charm of the Old Quarter, where street food stalls and artisan workshops fill old laneways with life.
Beyond the city, Ninh Binh’s limestone peaks and calm waterways steal the show. While back in town, the Water Puppet Theatre and festivals like Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn paint the city in a rainbow of culture, lanterns, and spirited parades.
Bologna, Italy
We know what you’re thinking, and yes, it is a visit to Bologna! The spiritual home of Bolognese is just as appetizing as it sounds. Fly to Bologna, the lively and recorded capital of the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy, and engage yourself. Additionally, the city is described as ‘the fat’ thanks to the mouth-watering food. But that’s not all—the city’s also called ‘the learned’ with the world’s oldest university and ‘the red’ from the precise red roofs that are best viewed from its medieval towers.
Channel your inner history buff as you roam the stone-paved streets and visit Asinelli Tower, the Cathedral of San Petronio, and the Archaeological Civic Museum. After that, fill up on delicious cotoletta alla Bolognese in its city of birth.
