Summer may be winding down, but at Atlas Obscura, we’re already thinking about next year’s adventures—and we want to know where you’d love to visit in 2025. For two weeks only, you could be involved in Where to Wander, our selection of top travel destinations around the world that are Atlas Obscura–approved. Which places on your dream list are off the beaten path, less touristy, more immersed in local culture, and full of surprising wonders?
This past year, you all impressed us with your wanderlust for Vanuatu, Greenland, Bolivia, Mongolia, and even the small Arizona town of Bisbee. But the world is so grand, evolving, and full of hidden delights. So where are you longing to go next?
To participate, tell us about an obscure city, region, or country you’ve visited, are eyeing, or have just heard your friends talking about. Make sure to describe the destination with a few sentences—the more details you give, the more likely your answer could be published in our final list. We’ll be accepting submissions until September 20 and will reveal the top five selections with the launch of Where to Wander 2025 at the end of this year. It’s almost time for new wonder-lust.
