Lonely Planet has unveiled its top destinations to visit in 2023, featuring 30 must-visit places around the world.

Drawing on expert local perspectives from the heart of each destination, the Best in Travel report features cities, countries and regions to aid travellers planning their next trip. Whether you’re craving a far-flung adventure or want something closer to home (Scotland also makes the list), there is something in the round-up for everyone.

The research is split up into five sections — Eat, Journey, Unwind, Connect and Learn — with each place chosen for its topicality, unique experiences, ‘wow factor, and ongoing commitment to sustainability, community and diversity.

In the Eat category, foodie recommendations include Peru’s capital Lima, affordable world class dining in South Africa and the rich gastronomy scene around Umbria, Italy. Meanwhile, the Learn category spotlights destinations from Manchester, the historic region of southern Scotland and the laid-back surf culture of El Salvador.
