Time reveals the world’s greatest places for 2025—here’s where to go in the U.S.

The world is more connected than ever, and travel is booming. Tourism surged in 2024, and travel trends run the gamut from solo adventures to cultural immersion to pet-friendly vacations. If you've got the travel bug, Time just dropped some major inspiration with its 2025 list of the World’s Greatest Places—a curated selection of 100 destinations offering one-of-a-kind experiences.

This year’s list (in no particular order) spans continents, from Arizona to the Amazon, Minnesota to Morocco, Pennsylvania to Poland and beyond. The selections are drawn from Time's network of correspondents and an application process, focusing on places that offer new and exciting experiences. Whether you're looking for cutting-edge gastronomy, immersive cultural experiences or next-level hospitality, these destinations promise something out of the ordinary.

In the U.S., Time includes places to stay like the Georgia Safari Conservation Park—one of the only safari parks in the U.S. Stay in a luxury tent amongst exotic animals like rhinos, giraffes, and impalas. Recommended places to visit include Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico—a dream-like landscape of towering hoodoos—and Vinai, a restaurant serving Hmong cuisine in Minneapolis.
