NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
If you’re looking for some destination inspiration for trips in 2023, Lonely Planet has just unveiled its annual list for the year ahead.
But this year the team has pulled together their top-rated spots for different categories: eat, journey, unwind, connect and learn – all depending on how you like to travel.
For each of these different areas, Lonely Planet has named six destinations.
‘We hope this year’s roster helps you navigate the world in the way that’s most meaningful to you – through recommendations from the local voices who know these places best,’ the team explains on the website.
