As a brand new yr dawns, journey magazines and web sites all over the place are providing up inspiration for 2025 adventures. Fodor’s issued each Go and No Go lists — the latter included 15 locations to keep away from — whereas Conde Nast Traveler urged 25 locations to go this yr. Now Afar, the San Francisco-based journey model, has launched a “where to go” checklist of its personal with 25 “off-the-beaten-path destinations” that vary from the seashores of the Danish Riviera — some 90 minutes from Copenhagen — to Oklahoma Metropolis.
“Putting together Afar’s annual Where to Go list always adds new destinations to my ‘must visit’ list,” says Afar editor-in-chief Julia Cosgrove. “These places serve as fantastic alternatives to the typical overcrowded spots.”
Maine’s Daring Coast with its 125-mile nationwide scenic byway makes the checklist for its stunning views, wild blueberry farms and lobster boats. Lititz, Pennsylvania is described as a spot the place “Amish culture and rock and roll happily collide 75 miles west of Philadelphia.” And Canada’s Prince Edward County and its mixture of seashores — it fronts Lake Ontario — and vineyards woos guests.
Listed here are the highest 10 picks for the Americas. (Be aware that Boone, North Carolina, was closely impacted by flooding from Hurricane Helene this fall.) Discover particulars and recommendations for all 25 locations world wide at www.afar.com/journal/.
