Do you feel like it’s time for a change? Perhaps an extra dose of adventure? In 2025, people will be changing it up, as well. From Chiang Mai to Grenada, there are a few hotspots on the map that people will be traveling far and wide to. Whether you have your heart set on the sunny shorelines of the Caribbean or the bustling streets of Bordeaux, here are a few new destinations to add to your wishlist. 

The Balkans

If you feel like you’ve checked most of Europe off your bucket list, you’re not alone. Many of your fellow voyagers are also moving on to newer pastures, particularly The Balkans. Within this lovely group of countries in Eastern Europe, you have places like Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. One dip in a Turkish bath will soothe your soul and remind you that the Earth is full of wonder.

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Chiang Mai offers a lot of healing, as well, especially given its plethora of world-class resorts. Located in the mountainous northern region of Thailand, you’ll have no shortage of things to do here. Tour the 14th-century Buddhist temple Wat Phra Singh. Check out the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar for local crafts. Stroll through the glorious Royal Park Rajapruek. This is an enchanting land, and if you’ve made it this far, see if you can extend your stay further south on the sunny shorelines of Singapore. 

The Faroe Islands, Denmark

If you have a sea-faring streak in you, you might want to add the Faroe Islands to your 2025 travel list. As an archipelago in the North Atlantic near Norway, Iceland, and Scotland, it will connect you to each of these beautiful countries, especially if you board a ferry from either of these locales. You can easily head for Tórshavn or Havn, the capital city. Take in the sights at Tórshavn Cathedral. Walk along the water and marvel at the many wooden houses from the 16th and 17th centuries that tell the tales of old. 

Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh seems to grow in popularity, year after year. So, if you’ve taken your ferry to the Faroe Islands from Scotland, save some time for Edinburgh further south. Home to the World Pipe Band Championships and Harry Potter’s creation story, there’s so much to see and do here. Take a tour of the castle, built in 1103 AD. Walk the Royal Mile to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Sip some tea in any number of world-famous tea houses, such as The Ivy On The Square. Stay at a cool boutique hotel like The Witchery. In addition to all that, here are 20 things to do throughout your stay in this misty, magical city.
