The Best Places in the World to Travel to in 2026 According to National Geographic

"From a legendary Alpine range to a less-traveled but no less stunning alternative to the Mediterranean, here are the year's must-visit destinations. Our annual Best of the World feature will inspire you to explore Spain's Basque Country beyond a total solar eclipse, hike a coast-to-coast trail in South Korea, plan a road trip on America's iconic Route 66, or celebrate 800 years of maritime history in England. Once again, National Geographic's global community of explorers, photographers, and editors handpicked this year's list of diverse destinations to spark your next adventure. Banff, Alberta, is our Readers' Choice Winner for Best of the World 2026." - nationalgeographic.com
