Lonely Planet publishes its “Best in Travel” list for 2027, highlighting new destinations it says are among the most exciting places for travellers to visit. The coverage focuses on a mix of regions and experiences, including Ireland’s fjords and a Himalayan railway, as well as China’s music scene.
Across the outlets, the list is presented as a curated selection from the travel publisher, drawing attention to sites that are framed as slightly off the beaten track. The reporting also notes the breadth of the recommendations, ranging from natural landscapes in Ireland to transport-linked tourism in the Himalayas, and cultural attractions in China. While the articles primarily concentrate on headline examples from the list, they converge on the key point that Lonely Planet is releasing its annual 2027 recommendations and putting these destinations in the spotlight for the coming year.
