These are the best places in the world that you must travel to this year, listed in no particular order of importance. Each one offers its own special experience, attractions, and amenities that make it worth your while to visit this year. If you’re going to check only one place off your list this year, make it one of these 5 incredible places you MUST travel to this year.

Iceland

The south coast of Iceland is an area of the country you won’t want to miss. The beauty and natural wonders in this region are unlike any other place in Iceland. Some notable sites are: Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss, Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach, Dyrhólaey and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon.

Japan

Mount Fuji: The tallest mountain in Japan is also one of its most iconic landmarks, with an absolutely beautiful appearance that changes constantly depending on what the weather’s like. One day it can be snow-capped and serene and the next it could be covered in a thick blanket of fog or smoke from nearby volcanoes. It’s truly a place worth visiting if you’re ever nearby. If not, don’t worry. You can always find plenty of pictures on Google.

Norway

If you’re looking for a place with the most spectacular scenery, Norway is the place for you. It’s easy to get from one spot to the next, and many of them are accessible by public transportation. Whether it’s fjords in Bergen or mountains in Geilo, there’s something for everyone. The total cost of getting around Norway is also very affordable. If you choose to stay at any of the Airbnb properties, they can be as cheap as $2-$3 a night depending on location. I recommend staying in Stavanger because it has incredible food and is home to some of the world’s best aqua parks.

India

If you are visiting for business, India will offer you an incredible experience as well. The country is experiencing significant growth in technology which means there are plenty of opportunities for entrepreneurship here. In addition, when exploring outside of the major cities be sure not to miss the wildlife such as tigers, elephants and monkeys. There are many options available including home exchanges and staying with locals.

Greece

If you’re looking for a getaway this summer, you should consider Greece. With its idyllic beaches and charming towns, it’s a beautiful country that has much more to offer than meets the eye. Be sure to take in some of the culture with visits to ancient ruins such as Mycenae or Delphi – relics of the past that will fascinate and amaze you. Consider visiting during one of the many festivals taking place throughout the year including Easter, Carnival, and Orthodox Easter. Lastly, don’t forget about The Meteora Monasteries.
