Some of the most stunning destinations around the world are found in well-known countries. Here are some bucket list destinations for 2025 that’ll charm you with the diversity and beauty of the world. ITALY: Amalfi Coast Italy is renowned for its rich history, art and scenic beauty. Among the most iconic places to visit is the Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site located along the southwestern edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula in the Campania region. Famous for its dramatic cliffs, lush gardens and picturesque villages, the Amalfi Coast has long been a favourite among travelers. The coast’s crown jewel is the town of Positano, with its colourful buildings cascading down the hillside to the crystal-clear waters below. Wander through narrow streets lined with boutiques and cafes, or take a boat ride to fully appreciate the stunning coastline. Further along, the town of Amalfi is home to the striking Cathedral of St. Andrew which offers access to serene beaches and charming local eateries. Ravello, perched high above the coast, is another gem, known for its breathtaking views and historic villas including Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo, which host classical music festivals each summer. A drive along the coastal road, the SS163, presents unparalleled views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, making the Amalfi Coast a must-see destination. FRANCE: Provence Moving west from Italy, France offers many treasures, but the region of Provence stands out as a quintessential getaway for those seeking a mix of nature, history and luxury. Known for its lavender fields, vineyards and charming hilltop villages, Provence is a haven for both nature lovers and history enthusiasts. Avignon, with its well-preserved medieval architecture, is a mustvisit for anyone interested in history. The Palais des Papes, once home to the Popes in the 14th century, is an imposing structure that dominates the town’s skyline. For a more serene experience, the Luberon Valley, dotted with picturesque villages like Gordes and Roussillon, offers opportunities for hiking, beverage-tasting and exploring the countryside’s stunning beauty.
