✈️lonely planet best in travel 2026 - the ones worth booking first
Lonely Planet put out 25 for 2026, not ranked against each other. these are the twelve I'd book flights around first, in the order they list them.
01
Peru
02
Jaffna, Sri Lanka
no direct flights from the US, you're connecting through Colombo either way. check the date, dry season runs Jan-Sep
03
Cádiz (Spain)
closest airport is Jerez, not Sevilla. shorter transfer and half the crowds
04
Botswana
05
Cartagena, Colombia
some years they check the yellow fever card on arrival, bring it anyway
06
Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala
07
Sardinia, Italy
direct flights from EU hubs are a summer-only thing, off season you're routing through Rome
08
Utrecht (Netherlands)
20 min train from Schiphol. skip the Amsterdam hotel entirely and save yourself the money
09
Barbados
10
Jeju-do, South Korea
domestic hop from Seoul. gate-checked a roller bag once here and regretted it the whole trip
11
Tunisia
12
Solomon Islands
one flight a week from Brisbane on the good route, plan the whole trip around it or you're stuck
Or start a list of your own. Free, it takes a minute.
