The eminent compiler of Lonely Planet guidebooks has compiled a list of countries that travelers should visit in 2025. Where should I book a trip now?
Cameroon
Tourists here can relax on deserted beaches, fish in villages, walk through tropical jungles and parks where you can meet mandrills and forest elephants. Many people come here to see the incredible Chute de la Lobe waterfall flowing into the ocean. People go to the city of Yaoundé for hot dancing in clubs and to feel African modernism.
Lithuania
For many, this is an unexpected choice for a trip, but there are clean beaches, ponds and pine thickets. Walking along the beaches of Palanga or the Curonian Spit, you can find amber. In different cities of the country, there are attractions that are worth coming for: Baroque churches are appreciated in Vilnius, a medieval castle is interesting in Trakai, and the famous Hill of Crosses is interesting in the Šiauliai region.
Fiji
The Republic of Fiji is made up of 332 islands located in the Pacific Ocean. This destination is popular among those who are engaged in diving and snorkeling, who like to admire the coral reefs. Many go hiking or just enjoy nature while relaxing on the beach "lazily".
Laos
In Laos, there are many Buddhist temples that are hidden among Asian-French buildings. In the province of Khammuan, there is one of the longest river caves on Earth, where you can ride a boat, and people go to Paksu for the Bolaven plateau, where there are coffee plantations and waterfalls.
Kazakhstan
People go to Kazakhstan to walk along the streets of the capital, try the local cuisine and admire the unusual buildings of Astana. Hiking enthusiasts will also like it here: in this region you can see the picturesque Tien Shan ranges and the unique Altyn-Emel Park.
Paraguay
People go to Paraguay for the sake of nature: tropical forests, Iguazu waterfalls and Cerro Coro National Park. Be sure to visit the capital, Asunción, where you can sample local cuisine and see colonial architecture.
Trinidad and Tobago
This country is located on two islands located in the Caribbean Sea. People come here for a beach holiday and unusual dishes - for example, it is worth visiting the local carnival, which is held annually (in 2025 it will be held in March).
Vanuatu
Even though it is a very small country, there is a lot to see in it! Tanna Island is home to the Yasur Volcano, which is still active, and Efat Island is popular for its Blue Lagoon Beach. Grab a mask, snorkel, and fins to see the coral reefs, then visit the Mele Waterfalls Cascade.
Slovakia
If you want to relax your mind and body, go to Slovakia: here you will be greeted by thermal spas, you can swim in lakes and explore caves. Explore historic castles and hit the road on the electric railway in the Tatra Mountains.
Armenia
Delicious local dishes, beautiful nature, ancient architecture - this makes Armenia an ideal place to travel. It is worth coming here for the sake of Mount Ararat to visit the temples and monasteries that are included in the UNESCO list - for example, one of them, the Garni Temple, is about 2000 years old! Don't forget to go to the wineries and taste fresh fish on trout farms.
