This is the most thrilling time of the year for those of us at Lonely Planet: the reveal of our list for Best in Travel 2024.
A little perspective of what happens behind the scenes to get to this point: we start working on our list months in advance, tapping into our vast network of contributors for nominations. After we collect those, our panel of expert travelers review and narrow down the final list.
As devoted travelers, our hearts buzz with excitement over these picks, and we spend months gathering guidance from our experts on the ground and filming videos that we hope will help will inspire you to travel to these special places.
So jump in and start planning your next trip! And don't forget that you can save all these ideas to your Lonely Planet account so you can find them later.
