Ideas and direction for where to travel in 2026—emerging trends, hidden gems, and smart timing.
If you’re wondering where to travel in 2026, here’s both inspiration and strategy to guide your choices:
Emerging and trending places to try
- Red Sea (Saudi Arabia) – Resorts, reef diving, desert landscapes
- Baltic capitals (Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius) – Charming, budget-friendly, cultural revival
- Georgia (Caucasus) – Mountain villages, wine routes, warm hospitality
- Slovenia – Green capitals, lakes, and trail networks
- Tasmania, Australia – Wild nature, hiking, coastal beauty
- Colombia (beyond major cities) – Coffee regions, history, culture
- Morocco (Atlas and Sahara escapes)
- Greece lesser-known islands
Timing and strategy
- For Europe, go in shoulder seasons (May–June, Sept–Oct)
- For tropics, prioritize dry season windows
- For large events (e.g. World Cup), align bookings early
- Use multi-center trips: pair cities and nature regions
Final thought
2026 will reward travelers who mix known icons with lesser known gems. Plan early, stay flexible, and aim for depth as much as breadth.
