Best places to travel in 2023

Where you should go

Got the travel itch? National Geographic has suggested some of the top destinations throughout the world for those looking to explore in 2023.

Switzerland, Colombia among recommended family trips

Switzerland, with a public transport network that includes a cookie train and a chocolate train, is among National Geographic's five best destinations to "educate and illuminate" travelers.

San Francisco also made the list as a top family destination.

Among the highlights: a new Crosstown Trail, created by volunteers, covering 17 miles of the city. 

For adventure, Austria, New Zealand and Peru are places to go

For those seeking "adrenaline-soaked adventures in 2023 and beyond," the magazine suggested the remote Inca ruins of Choquequirao in southern Peru.

Connect with nature in Big Bend, Botswana and Scotland

Big Bend National Park in west Texas provides visitors with epic vistas, plus "more cactus species than any other national park."

For culture, look to Egypt, Italy, and South Carolina

Italy is always a desired destination for tourists. One of the recent developments: Italian officials are restoring the Appian Way, which runs 360 miles from Rome to southern Italy. 

Egypt remains an exciting place to travel; a timely consideration: the upcoming opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, which houses King Tut's tomb.

Milwaukee and Greece are among the smart tourist spots

Milwaukee stands out for "community-led conservation efforts; groundbreaking work in ecotourism, sustainability, and inclusive travel."
