Below you’ll find our annual guide, brought to you by our team of expert travel writers, to the places that will matter in 2025. Inclusion can be due to a major event such as Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, or simply that a place, say, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, is one of those rare and amazing cities that no one much has got around to visiting. Sit back and dream of what may be possible in the next set of 365 days. Bishkek, here we come. – Anthony Dennis
