We searched through the top lists of places to visit in 2025 and these countries were generously mentioned.

Greenland: This autonomous Danish territory appeared in many lists including the New York Times and Condé Nast Traveler. Home to one of the world’s two permanent ice sheets, the Arctic Island offers breathtaking views such as the northern lights, the vast glaciers and the fjords. More visitors are expected to troop into the territory, following the opening of its new international airport in its capital Nuuk.

Thailand: Ancient temples, white sand beaches, and delightful cuisines are some of the attractions that pool visitors to this Asian country. Cities such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and more recently Koh Samui, where the American TV series ‘White Lotus’ was filmed, continue to attract visitors to the Asian country.

Morocco: Marrakech, Casablanca and Rabat are some of the places that would attract visitors to the North African country. Places to visit in Rabat include the Royal Theatre, and for football lovers, the African Cup of Nations taking place in the country later this year is another reason to visit the country.

Egypt: Luxor, famed for its astonishing collection of ancient temples is one of the top destinations to visit. The city recently held the 14th Luxor African Film Festival, where the Zuri24 Media production ‘The Man Died’ took home the award for the Best Film that Tackles an Important Issue.

Spain: There are more places to visit in this European country in 2025. Think of the Montserrat, an hour northwest of Barcelona which the New York Times described this way:

“A venerated Benedictine monastery set within the mountain’s rocky crevices and home to the beloved shrine of the Virgin of Montserrat is commemorating its 1,000th anniversary. Events include a music festival, performances by the Escolania de Montserrat boys’ choir and an exhibition that traces the monastery’s timeline.”

And if you are still looking for more adventure, you can visit the Spanish village Canfranc, where its international railway station has been transformed into a five-star hotel with a cathedral-like ticket lobby, and a Michelin-starred restaurant in an old train carriage.
