Developed in close collaboration with Nat Geo's team of travel experts and international editors, "Best of the World 2025" includes something for everyone - families, foodies, animal lovers, adventurers and more.

"I like to think of Best of the World as National Geographic's annual invitation to get out and explore for yourself the incredible diversity of places and experiences around the world," said Nathan Lump, editor-in-chief of National Geographic.
