New Year, New Adventures: Mapping Out Your 2026 Travel with Lonely Planet
As we enter January 2026, travellers will be planning trips for the upcoming year with a more intentional mindset, using the quiet of the new year to map out meaningful travel.
Some of Lonely Planet's 2025 bestsellers could play a key role in shaping these plans for travellers. 100 Weekends in Europe will appeal to those plotting efficient, bite-sized escapes that fit neatly into their calendar, while Dream Trips of the World will fuel big-picture planning and aspirational 2026 bucket list trips. For those deciding when to travel as much as where, Where to Go When will help match destinations to the best months for weather, activities and value, making January planning strategic. Families planning ahead for school breaks will turn to Where To Go When with Kids, using its age-specific guidance to design trips that work for the whole family.
Together these books will be valuable additions to shop shelves, as travellers search for clarity when planning their 2026 adventures.
